  1. tinypliny on oda’s “I....hate....PCs” Sounds like a virus to me. Maybe you could wipe everything and put ubuntu on the machine? It's a very good OS and closer to Mac - so you might be at home.
  2. YesThatCasey on oda’s “government benefits” I'll never understand why people focus on benefits being the problem, and not the unlivable wages to begin with.
  3. paul on oda’s “government benefits” Wow that sucks. Its like discouraging to even try to make more.
  4. metalpeter on oda’s “post-baby sex” I'm no expert but from a natural perspective it makes sense... You are know trying to protect this life and sex could lead to another pregnancy and all the things that go into that... But there could also be hormone things I wouldn't under…
  5. paul on oda’s “post-baby sex” Why, is it a mental or physical thing?
  6. iriesara on oda’s “hi paul” Awesome! I'll be great to see you after so long!!
  7. oda on oda’s “hi paul” YES, I want to come to your wedding!!! Send me the info at 24 Pearl St Holland NY 14080.
  8. paul on oda’s “hi paul” Omg. Did he say that or you. I miss you. I'll send you a wedding invite if you are free july 6?
  9. iriesara on oda’s “11 weeks” Welcome to the good times! Congrats! I know it's terrible to say, but until about 6 months in I hated being pregnant. You're pretty much an alien pod for the next while. BUT...contrary to what the Peace Corps peeps say, PARENTING is the to…
  10. tinypliny on oda’s “11 weeks” Hey, that's a way better scenario than shrinking one size every now and then so much that your bust size has dropped to the "juniors" level at stores and is persistently inching downwards. believe me. personal experience over the past few …
  11. paul on oda’s “11 weeks” Okay, I didn't finish the last paragraph before I sent that comment in, lol.
  12. paul on oda’s “11 weeks” OMG, congratulations. I was going to ask if you wanted to go drinking at the parade but I guess thats a bad idea now. I can't wait to catch up.
  13. tinypliny on oda’s “11 weeks” I am sure you look sexy to everyone else. It's always true! ;-) So Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! :)
  14. oda on oda’s “my new girls” i have only seen them fly about 3 feet up. most chickens are not known for their flying abilities. unlike my egg-layers, chickens that are grown for meat cannot fly at all. after about 10-12 weeks of age, they can barely even walk because …
  15. metalpeter on oda’s “bye, colts” You could route for the Packers since they have the running back Starks from Niagara falls ......... Hoping my team The Steelers can beat the Ravens it is going to be a tough game.....
  16. tinypliny on oda’s “bye, colts” Before I read this, I thought you were also raising horses and were getting rid of them because of the chicken. I guess that is not what you meant.
  17. tinypliny on oda’s “my new girls” Wow. They are 4.5 kg. Now that's a heavy bird. Can they fly to any heights?
  18. metalpeter on oda’s “beer wars” I'm guessing that Documentary is pretty good, I've never seen it though.... There was also a show of the same name I never saw but not sure if it was connected to the movie........ I Myself don't like Beer at all.... Now that being said I …
  19. ladycroft on oda’s “beer wars” i never liked budweiser to start, ick!
  20. vincent on oda’s “beer wars” OV to me seems to be the local answer for PBR. It is a brand that fell on hard times, does not advertise and gets sales due to it's essence. It is funny to me that Labatt USA, Magic Hat & Genesee are all under the same roof. As for Anheuse…
  21. uncutsaniflush on oda’s “beer wars” e:oda - thanks for the clarification about Labatts USA. To me, "under license" means that Anheuser-Busch still owns the brand and makes money from every bottle or can of Labatts sold in the U.S even if it is a lesser amount than before. Pe…
  22. oda on oda’s “beer wars” you are right. OV is owned by Molson-Coors.
  23. oda on oda’s “beer wars” e:uncutsantiflush, what I found was that while Labatts brewed and sold in Canada is owned by anheuser-busch, "In the United States, Labatt brand beers are sold under license by Labatt USA, which since 2009 has been fully independent of the…
  24. uncutsaniflush on oda’s “beer wars” e:libertad - I heard the same thing about Coors. I had a professor who said that it is very appropriate that Adolf Coors first name was Adolf. But I was never clear on which of the 3 generations of Adolfs in the Coors family were fascist.
  25. libertad on oda’s “beer wars” I didn't know that uncut. See it is so complicated to understand where our money is going. Takes a bit of work to really understand who owns who. I had a teacher that always used to say "Have a Coors for Fascism." I always thought that was…
  26. uncutsaniflush on oda’s “beer wars” I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your other favorite beer, Labatts, is owned by the Anheuser-Busch-Inbev multi-national company. And Old Vienna is brewed in Canada these days by Molson which is division of Molson-Coors.
  27. tinypliny on oda’s “life in holland” That is amazing! Thanks for the update! Sign me up as your CSA member if you ever start distribution in the city!! I would love to try ALL your produce... and maybe a couple of your eggs (I am not very good at cooking with eggs)
  28. libertad on oda’s “life in holland” Thanks for the update. I can't believe you grew 40 DIFFERENT vegetables! I'm pretty sure I couldn't even name that many. I would love to buy some of your eggs someday. It is so awesome that my uncle has a chicken coop and daily fresh eggs …
  29. tinypliny on oda’s “new job” Well - what is the denouement of this story? Are you a part income tax preparer part farmer?
  30. tinypliny on oda’s “downtown farmers market” I hope you have CSA offerings in the city soon - maybe through e:Drew's church? I would love to be able to buy produce from you.

  1. oda on paul’s “Normal Tongue - There is Hope” paul, you are so gross. I think there was some health reason that you may have had an orange tongue. I know you've historically been a hypochondriac, but this was probably serious, and I'm glad it's gone away now. did your breath smell bad…
  2. oda on joe’s “Basra's Migration” How many watts is his light? When a friend looked in to a light to grow p*t, they said it would cost about $20/month. I'm not sure, but I think it was about 400 watts. I'd have to ask him for details. That seems really expensive. But Basra…
  3. oda on joe’s “Winter Commute” Good luck! I enjoyed the winter when I commuted 6 miles each way to work on my bike. I had the same tires as you; never would have made it without them. You bring back memories indeed. On bad roads you can almost always ride as fast as the…
  4. oda on oda’s “hi paul” YES, I want to come to your wedding!!! Send me the info at 24 Pearl St Holland NY 14080.
  5. oda on libertad’s “ Still got the poison ivy” Hi! I have just gotten rid of the same thing! Here is the remedy: Rhus Tox. It is homeopathic poision ivy. They sell homeopathics at Lexington co-op and at Wegman's. Try to get the strongest one you can find (i.e. 30C rather than 12X). Tak…
  6. oda on paul’s “Forever isn't always forever” Oh, Paul, I'm so sorry. I hope that everyone can move on and know how awesome and inspiring you have been to so many of us. Lots of love to you.
  7. oda on paul’s “Bird bird eats from terry's mouth” Bird bird eats poop from Terry's mouth!
  8. oda on paul’s “Lucy Ethiopian Cuisine On Amsherst and Grant St” I have never seen ground beef listed as vegetarian before.
  9. oda on tinypliny’s “Random annoyances.” i would much rather lose hair than put a placenta on my head. maybe you could cut your hair shorter and you would notice it a lot less!
  10. oda on paul’s “Not Becoming Italian - At least not Jure Sanguinis” my brother became an Irish citizen a few years ago. my dad's parents were both born in Ireland, and I guess that's all we needed to become Irish. Brian said it was a huge mess of paperwork and took about two years for it to all go through.
  11. oda on oda’s “my new girls” i have only seen them fly about 3 feet up. most chickens are not known for their flying abilities. unlike my egg-layers, chickens that are grown for meat cannot fly at all. after about 10-12 weeks of age, they can barely even walk because …
  12. oda on metalpeter’s “NFTA (2nd post of the day) ARGh.......” i used to be able to ride the NFTA bus in to Buffalo, starting from one block from my house on the 70 bus. as of last month, they cut the service to Holland, so now the closest bus stop is in East Aurora, which is 12 miles from my house. S…
  13. oda on tinypliny’s “Ways to reduce salt in my diet” Good job for trying this! I can just advise that less-salty food is just something that you have to get used to. And you will. It will just take time and lots of bland-to-you food. Imagine all those people who eat only white bread, and the…
  14. oda on oda’s “beer wars” you are right. OV is owned by Molson-Coors.

  16. oda on libertad’s “No more Allentown Athletix” has anyone been to KC's fitness? it's on symphony circle, in an old church. they have no relationship to the church except for paying for the space. its a small place, but may fit some people's needs. i would recommend shawn and kevin as p…
  17. oda on libertad’s “Last good day” gorgeous! absolutely.
  18. oda on paul’s “Why I Hate Macs for Real” paul, i got a mac for a present this year. you will be proud to know that i am actually learning how to use a computer. i have found the mac to incredible for someone like me, at a low computer-level knowledge, to be able to answer my own …
  19. oda on heidi’s “Census data” I moved out of Buffalo to Holland, NY, census tract 15003, almost 2 years ago. Holland is 12 miles southeast of east aurora, the last town in Erie County We are bordered by Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties. Population of our zip code is ab…
  20. oda on paul’s “1955 g. housekeeping guide 4 a good wife” i need this woman in my life.
  21. oda on theecarey’s “reading” i would love to know your recommendations for the best mind-expanding books on quantum physics. thanks!
  22. oda on zobar’s “run to the hills” knowing that you are about to quit a bad job is just about the best feeling in the entire universe. your horrible boss, the lack of sticking-together-staples, your annoying co-worker, the fact that you're treated like a bitch, NONE OF THAT…
  23. oda on tinypliny’s “Can I grind up pasta to get flour?!” i think you are completely insane. there is no way that you will be able to bake bread from ground up pasta. (but your attempt makes me like you a whole bunch!) and i do admire your attempt to try to make apple crisp or the like with very …
  24. oda on libertad’s “Wisdom teef” mine were taken out when i was 18. i've always missed them, wondered why they were taken from me. i didn't know enough back then to question it. but still, i don't understand why they'd be taken from me, someone whose wisdom teeth were not…
  25. oda on tinypliny’s “A perfect summer day in Downtown Buffalo” beautiful photos, except for that japanese beetle, who is so harmful. will this be your first winter in buffalo? i hope you can find the beauty then, too!
  26. oda on paul’s “Rock Harbor Commons Yard - Sick Mold” nasty, nasty boys!
  27. oda on jim’s “4-0!” oh, i do not miss the city. no cops in our town. only the occasional sheriff. (who i believe is after us anyhow.)
  28. oda on paul’s “Damn pear blight” paul, i don't believe that is blight. blight usually is seen on stems and leaves. you would have many dead leaves and some gross white fungus on your stems. blight is very serious, and if in fact you do have blight, you probably need to cu…
  29. oda on paul’s “Delaware park” ah, shakespeare in the park... i streaked King Lear last year and got a big round of applause. great fun for all.
  30. oda on chico’s “Pilates, yoga ... help!” it really depends on your personal preference. i would highly recommend east meets west yoga on elmwood and the himalayan institute on delaware. the important thing is that some teachers are much better than others, even within the studio.…
