- mrmike on janelle’s “Thank you for your complaint” nice
- tinypliny on janelle’s “Work annoys me” LOL, yeah, this totally deserves a Google #No. 1 hit.
- tinypliny on janelle’s “Thank you for your complaint” heh funny.
- paul on janelle’s “Thank you for your complaint” That's pretty awesome.
- janelle on janelle’s “Papaya” I saw zero veggie stuff, Tiny. It's really not the place for vegetarians.
- mrmike on janelle’s “Papaya” Niagara Cafe does good, inexpensive Puerto Rican food and as an added bonus does chicken fingers the kids would eat
- tinypliny on janelle’s “Papaya” I thought it was somewhat expensive and their vegetarian section when I went there was limited to 1 eggy-smelling noodle dish. Did you see any veggie stuff?
- metalpeter on janelle’s “The disabled one” Well Girls are meaner then boys. That being said with out knowing all the facts I'm guessing they where mocking the accident and not the disablity. I think if it was the disablity there would be other things that had happened and your post…
- libertad on janelle’s “The disabled one” Kids can be so vicious. I wish more schools would focus on the negative effects of bullying and talk about diversity like the school that I spoke at last year. Often schools are afraid to take away from instruction time and are also afraid…
- lauren on janelle’s “The disabled one” I think you handled this in the best possible way. I think that what matters is not, unfortunately, what you can teach those girls in that moment, because they are probably still too young to care or understand the ways that this may effec…
- james on janelle’s “The disabled one” You are a beautiful and wonderful person.
- paul on janelle’s “The disabled one” Wow, you handled that way better than I would have. I would have a hard time not having it out with those girls. I think you did the best thing though.
- leetee on janelle’s “The disabled one” nothing like having a child with a disability, but i know that look that adults give, the knowing, sudden realization one. saw people look at a resident of the group home i work at that way today -- the look from contempt to pity once the …
- tinypliny on janelle’s “Really?” I think if the Buffalo News had a style section, I might consider subscribing.
- james on janelle’s “Really?” It is fine to have such articles in certain places in a paper. The Buffalo News does not have a style section, nor should it. This article anywhere else is just fluff and not a conversation worth having.
- james on janelle’s “About Time” Hm... Councilmember Smith said that Ms.Thomas was given six months to fix a problem that has plagued the city of years.... how hard is it to check your health records against payroll? Or, you know, death certificates that are kept just fiv…
- paul on janelle’s “About Time” Ya, that whole thing really blows my mind. It seems like such an obvious way to save money, not paying dead people!
- janelle on janelle’s “About Time” "I didn't want to have a knee jerk reaction to this" I know that's crazy, right? He'll fire the police chief and fire chief at a drop of a dime, but doesn't want to have a knee jerk reaction to an employee who demonstrated gross incompeten…
- jason on janelle’s “About Time” Did you read what Brown said??? "I didn't want to have a knee jerk reaction to this"..........This city will be screwed every way possible until the City has real leadership.
- jason on janelle’s “About Time” Eh. Too late for me as well. Brown is horrible but we'll never get rid of him.
- jason on janelle’s “Really?” Don't know how I feel about that article. Women can have whatever hair they like, as long as they like. Don't know whose place it is to tell women it's time to go with the "post-50 bob" or the "gramma perm".
- matthew on janelle’s “Need a water bath canner” We have a couple of canners you could borrow. Mmmm pickles.
- heidi on janelle’s “Kids and plastic” When I've helped A's nieces & nephews with xmas toys, I've been appalled by the amount of packaging and waste. So many little needless twist ties or zip ties - the kids can't even open their own toys and I needed a knife. Jill's trying out…
- libertad on janelle’s “Kids and plastic” It is all very frustrating. You really can only do so much without being a crazy spaz about it. What are you going to do, short of rejecting gifts that were given to your children? I'm still struggling with my own plastic usage. Again, my …
- drew on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” I wanted to tell them that we were safe because we made friends with our neighbors, and thus have friends on both sides of the law.
- tiburon1724 on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” Was it by any chance APX? They came to my door last summer, very similar spiel, conjuring up terrible thoughts....you're near the corner, there's a lot of rentals on the cross street...etc. I told 'em not interested. The people across the …
- uncutsaniflush on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” Ironically enough, the theft of the signs would reinforce and give credence to the alarm company's fear mongering characterisation of Buffalo as a theft-ridden place.
- tinypliny on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” hehehe - we could be the caped fear-absorbers.
- metalpeter on janelle’s “Fear Mongerer” Here is my take: 1. It is a company from Canada because they don't need them there (ever seen bowling for columbine where Micheal More walks into someone's house it is to funny) 2. Maybe she has heard how the city is, and doesn't get that …
- paul on janelle’s “The good and bad of surprises” It's always nice to hear nice stories like that. Well not the accident but the friendly people part.

- janelle on joe’s “Dal Tadka” You can get ghee and yellow lentils at Wegmans. Red Lentils do foam up. You can skim the foam off. When I made red lentils, I used to put it on rice and then top the lentil with caramelized onions and/or yogurt.
- janelle on libertad’s “water bill” That definitely looks right for two people. We pay around $225 every quarter for a family of five. It is a shock, right, to find out how much water costs! It will be higher in the summer if you water your lawn and garden a bit or wash your…
- janelle on leetee’s “Good-Bye My Heart” I certainly haven't published in a while, but I still pass through estrip from time to time. I can't pass through tonight without saying I'm terribly, terribly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing ones life partner so suddenly. I no…
- janelle on uncutsaniflush’s “Allstate doesn't love us.” Allstate dropped their insurance on one of the rental properties we own for pretty typical big house non-emergency issues and the agent I used shifted us to another insurance company. Apparently when you get cancelled by Allstate your Alls…
- janelle on uncutsaniflush’s “Allstate doesn't love us.” While the impact of cancel versus renew in practice is the same in that it leaves you with no insurance, I think I understand the importance of the difference to Allstate - and possibly to you. I would guess that cancellation would be a re…
- janelle on uncutsaniflush’s “Allstate doesn't love us.” Ask your neighbors down the street, Bill and Jen. I think Bill would have a recommendation for you.
- janelle on heidi’s “fancy cpa!” Looking good!
- janelle on libertad’s “ what I see myself in” Drew and I moved to the West Side from EV two years ago and couldn't be happier with our decision. It is really great to be in between Elmwood and Grant - although we are much closer to Grant. I think a year from now, if you're patient, yo…
- janelle on leetee’s “work shit” Is this a situation where you can appeal through the Union? Can they really just jerk you around like that?
- janelle on leetee’s “Human Nature” I don't know if it's something about the DD field, but co-workers can be the worst! I have found it easier to just not talk to much to co-workers at work.
- janelle on leetee’s “Left Hand Only Typing” I've been following your work story for a while even though I don't post on e strip these days. Whatever happened of pressing charges? I've worked here and there with criminal situations that involve people with DD and have a lot of though…
- janelle on thechefsky’s “Shakespeare” Seriously? How did you get out of high school without reading this play? I love that in the face of all your law school work you're taking some time to read Shakespeare. The statement makes me think a new college grad who is losing that sh…
- janelle on paul’s “There is lard in the crust?!” The goya aisle at Price Rite ROCKS and the herb section is actually at times fresher than as well as cheaper than Wegmans. They also sell Byrne Dairy milk at $1.99/gallon. And I got really good peaches there the other day. It's a far cry f…
- janelle on heidi’s “Great day” I was at Audrey's graduation and it occurred to me that if she was graduating so were you... Congratulations!
- janelle on vincent’s “For Real Stuff that Matters” You're not going to get a very unbiased commentary on Pittsburgh from me or Drew. Drew has a great deal of hometown loyalty. There is nothing wrong about Pittsburgh to him. Me. I didn't like Pittsburgh at all. It seemed like a poor excuse …
- janelle on paul’s “Vacation Time?” Ooh...you are lucky. It's use it or lose where I work. If you go into the New Year with more than the maximum amount than you accrue per year, than you lose everything over the maximum amount. You actually get pressured to use your vacatio…
- janelle on janelle’s “Papaya” I saw zero veggie stuff, Tiny. It's really not the place for vegetarians.
- janelle on leetee’s “Fly Away!” Portugal!
- janelle on libertad’s “Am I a hoarder?” The religious items are so hard. I had a Book of Mormon and some other religious book (Buddhism, maybe?), and I felt so uncomfortable just throwing it away so I found someone to pass it on to. But when the religious items are handed down f…
- janelle on metalpeter’s “Drew's and Janelle's brunch” Thanks metalpeter for the great pictures! @e:Libertad, Thank you! I like to rock the short cut every once in a while.
- janelle on jason’s “Went to the Salon” I'll buzz it for $5.00 I do it for Drew.
- janelle on paul’s “Mistaken Identity” Haha, totally the Mormon missionary look. Get you a Book of Mormon to carry around and you're set!
- janelle on paul’s “Pork chops and pear sauce” Someone brought us concord grapes grown in their backyard and they just blew me away. The best tasting grapes I've ever had. I think it's because each grape was a mini burst of tartness and sweetness all at the same time. Like the skin was…
- janelle on janelle’s “About Time” "I didn't want to have a knee jerk reaction to this" I know that's crazy, right? He'll fire the police chief and fire chief at a drop of a dime, but doesn't want to have a knee jerk reaction to an employee who demonstrated gross incompeten…
- janelle on heidi’s “Pesto” You get a bag of pine nuts at Price Rite. $6 for about 6 oz.
- janelle on heidi’s “Pesto” This is very close to my recipe. I made and froze three cups recently. But still have plenty of basil for more freezing. I think for my next batch I will try your recipe. I like the sound of nutmeg and lemon juice.
- janelle on fing’s “Is this blight?” Could be a fungus. If you apply a fungicide and it goes away, then you know it was a fungus. Could be overfertilizing. Too much nitrogen turns plants yellow and they die. Have you been fertilizing a lot. If not too many leaves are yellow y…
- janelle on libertad’s “Priceline.com and Father's Day” I get frustrated too when renting a car is cheaper. I want to fly to Texas next fall for a vacation and I explored flying into a city and then using rail or bus between several cities and it was too inefficient and more expense than just r…
- janelle on leetee’s “What I Did On My Summer Vacation” Very nice!
- janelle on jason’s “Looking Forward to the Weekend” Why wait patiently for strawberries to come to you at the market when you can go out and pick them with me and my friends in June? Lol. ;)
