- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Re-LENT-Less” I gave up cultural tourism today. :D Nice post!
- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Work Haiku” I just submitted my first federal (DOD) grant this past week as well! I was super excited to have it done. :D But I know exactly what you mean - they do suck the life out of you.
- metalpeter on gardenmama’s “Facebook Virus” Thanks for the info that is kinda crazzy
- james on gardenmama’s “Re-LENT-Less” In the spirit of giving for lent, Atkins is total crap. You need carbs. Without carbs your brain can't function, your hormones are all over the place, and muscles can't work properly. You may lose weight, but a lot of that weight is going …
- paul on gardenmama’s “Re-LENT-Less” I also gave up giving up something for lent this year, hahaha. P.S. Thanks for the donation.
- theecarey on gardenmama’s “Need Computer Advice” I'll be due for a new lap sooner than I'd like, so I too am getting ideas now of what I should/shouldn't get. I need to bookmark this post and the answers/advice- great stuff, peeps!
- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Need Computer Advice” Oh and if you are a classical music (lossless) junkie just get a decent big hard-drive and save some money for an external mammoth harddrive. This reminds me I need to ask for advice from e:strip on this very issue. :D
- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Need Computer Advice” Wow - nice summary e:heidi. :) I have very little to add (and probably useless biased trivia, but here goes) a) I don't like Dells. They have died on me in the past. I prefer Toshibas. I have had good luck with all my Toshibas. They are pr…
- heidi on gardenmama’s “Need Computer Advice” I like XP Pro... you need 1 gb RAM minimum to run it, 2 GB is better, 1.5 completely tolerable. Essentially, if the RAM isn't expandable to 2gb, the motherboard is so old that the processor will be too slow. (In other words, the exact proc…
- mrmike on gardenmama’s “John Cusack” He's always been one of my favorities. I always watch High Fidelity when it comes on.
- theecarey on gardenmama’s “John Cusack” I've always been a fan of Jon Cusak. His early stuff is a riot and I like his recent stuff too. He looks better and better with age as well, imo.

- paul on gardenmama’s “Wishes of Happy” Happy holidays
- ladycroft on gardenmama’s “Wishes of Happy” Happy Christmas Gardenmama!
- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Another attack reported - WTF” Exactly! :( How *does* one respond to this? Mass panic is foolish. Total disregard is unwise. We need some kind of "suggestion-box-response" outlet where the police let residents know what is the actual situation and what their information…
- janelle on gardenmama’s “Another attack reported - WTF” I understand feeling funny about attacks at the same places where you go. I know I feel funny when I hear of things happening near where I live, because e:Drew and I tend to walk our neighborhood a lot. And there have been day time attacks…
- tinypliny on gardenmama’s “Another attack reported - WTF” I don't want to sound too crazy here, but I have what I like to call the "crime watch triage". It's around half-hour of intensive crime news reading and decisions every friday night/saturday morning. I don't do this everyday because that w…
- janelle on gardenmama’s “Another attack reported - WTF” If you read the Buffalo News crime section, there's usually some act of violence or incidence that takes place in this city everyday.

- gardenmama on paul’s “I know it's springtime in buffalo” I love when I go by that Jim's Steak Out and the bubbles are flying out the window upstairs. It makes me smile every single time!
- gardenmama on metalpeter’s “Sabres Vs. Coyotes” Great Marina pix - and the squirrel is very cool.
- gardenmama on joshua’s “Work Haiku” I like it - and you're welcome.
- gardenmama on drew’s “Another work haiku” I found writing my work haiku oddly cathartic - think I should write myself one more often, maybe even weekly. Broken boilers suck - especially when it’s cold - good luck with that
- gardenmama on janelle’s “House Assessment” Congratulations - sort of. From what I’ve been hearing you actually did pretty well. My understanding is there have been quite a number of people who haven’t had any luck getting them to reduce the amount of their initial set increase.…
- gardenmama on metalpeter’s “Sabres Pictures and Bandits” Great action shots!
- gardenmama on paul’s “Spanish casettes” I agree - that's too much for cassetts - they're way too out of date. I bought a cool little pocket "Conversational Spanish for Dummies" book recently at Target for $.99. I believe there's also some free website for learning Spanish on-lin…
- gardenmama on paul’s “Blocking the driveway” Maybe you could let Parking Enforcement know this is a chronic problem and at what basic times and see if they can send thier folks out for a few weekends in a row to hand out tickets. That might get peoples' attention. Of course, there's …
- gardenmama on vincent’s “Stocks are officially F'd” Yeah, I keep watching my incredible shrinking retirement account, wondering WTF am I doing continuing to contribute money to this. Aside from the pre-tax aspect, there is NO benefit to this. I could truly just open the window and throw mon…
- gardenmama on vincent’s “old man weekend” I sometimes wonder if the telethon could raise more money by having people make donations for them NOT to air it. They should just ask Annie DiFranco an/or the GooGoos and some other REAL local musical talent to do some benefit concert for…
- gardenmama on lauren’s “Reproductive Rights” I feel a little sorry for this woman that she has this empty space she keeps trying to fill with children who will likely end up with the same empty space because there won't be enough of mom to go around. That being said - rights come wit…
- gardenmama on mrmike’s “Paczki dreams and other strange things.” This made me laugh - thanks.
- gardenmama on mrmike’s “Baby Monkeys” Totally cool! I'd much rather bring your work home with me than mine. If I bring work home it's usually much more related to a donkey than a monkey! The monkey is waaaayyyyy better! I'm jealous.
- gardenmama on tinypliny’s “Day of loss” This is so tragic - what an awful thing to have happen - a waste indeed.
- gardenmama on paul’s “Like trash from heaven” Wonderful! - So it of course gave off that pwt, cushioned indoor furniture on the front porch look. That so sucks. I really don't think they're allowed to break the garbage rules. Maybe they have a staffing problem and didn't have anyone a…
- gardenmama on paul’s “Like trash from heaven” I know churches are tax-exempt, but I don't think they're garbage-rule exempt. If this is a frequent problem, you maybe could call the mayor's complaint hotline and see if they can find some way to deal with it. They might just send the ch…
- gardenmama on mrmike’s “"Feeling about half-past Dead."” Shoot! I'm bummed that I missed this event - I really wanted to check it out. Oh well, maybe next year. Sorry it was so grueling but sounds nonetheless like it was pretty cool. Hope you get in some good R & R this weekend.
- gardenmama on metalpeter’s “Bill Maher Part 1” The show is Real Time with Bill Maher. I love his wit. Even if someone doesn't agree with him (or like him), it's hard not to at least admit that he is clever. I don't get HBO so I can't watch the show, but I sometimes check out his "New R…
- gardenmama on mrmike’s “They Call it "Hump Day" for a reason” Long Florida weekends are good. I'm taking one of those this weekend. Nothing too exciting, going to visit my Mom in Tampa but at least it's warm and not here. The bank account deduction thing totally sucks. I've got that e-zpass thing too…
- gardenmama on paul’s “Throwing your money "at the windows"” I am so out of the technology loop - I think I need to explore. My home computer is really old, and at work, though the district provides extensive professional development for teachers, they provide very little (ok, almost none) p.d. for …
- gardenmama on metalpeter’s “TSO Was Awesome” Wow - this looks fantastic. I'm jealous.
- gardenmama on heidi’s “Ridiculous puppy cuteness” They're both way too cute! My brother has a coonhound too but it's dark with spots on it's chest (blue something, maybe). He's really pretty but he's afraid of everything. My brother rescued him from a no-kill shelter that the dog had been…
- gardenmama on hodown’s “All I want for Christmas” If you like to shop for gems you might want to check out http://www.liquidationchannel.com It's a jewelry channel auction site that has some very reasonable stuff(mostly rings)with gems set in sterling, yellow gold, and white gold. They so…
- gardenmama on joshua’s “Apple Cider” I love fresh apple cider! I got some in PA this Fall from an Amish guy - it was delish.
- gardenmama on janelle’s “The Plumber” Definitely use the pix you took to go with your other stuff if you challenge your assessment - bathrooms are expensive.
- gardenmama on gardenmama’s “Companies hiring in WNY” You're welcome SirJames
- gardenmama on james’s “Read a Book” My daughter showed this to me a while back - I think the message is great. And you're right, it's not meant to be racist; it's satirical. Wikipedia info on the artist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomani_Armah Artist's offical web page: ht…
- gardenmama on jenks’s “Another example...” Gotta watch those operations - when someone mistakes below knee for baloney you could leave missing a little something more that you bargained for - yikes.
- gardenmama on james’s “Learn How To Dance” This was strangly sort of uncomfortable to watch.
- gardenmama on jessbob’s “Kinky Sex & Nudity” Great "catch" headline.
