I went to Betty on Virginia a few weeks back for dinner and didn't love it. But now i went for lunch today and it was amazing. I had the house salad with roasted vegetables and asiago cheese and it was sooo good. Their lunch menu is much more extensive than their dinner menu as well. Anywho, I definetely recommend it for lunch!! Simply delish!

How did this relic survive?No my title does not refer to Joan Rivers. I was driving home from church and drove by Mang Park (the local like park in Kenmore). The first thing I noticed was that the wood exercise ara is gone. It was like balance beams and bars and stuff. It had pictures with how to do all these different exercises. Why would tihs part be taken down? Well I guess in actuality it was rather dangerous as it was just really high bars that kids tried to swing and hang upside down on. Plus it was all made of wood and full of splinters.
Anywho what I am really wondering is how did the tube slide survive. It is this orange completley closed in tube slide. So like if you get in you cannot see the bottom. This leads to numerous people being at the bottom of the slide when someone flies out and smacks right into them. Or people climbing up the inside and then someone goes down and they all fall. In this age of everything has to be safe and impossible to get injured on I have no idea how this made it. They have removed everything else from the playground that was there in my day, how did this survive? Remember the rolling pin slide where your fingers and sticky skin alwyas got caught in between the roles? That's gone but someone this thing survived. It sticks out like a sore thumb with the new plasticy safe looking equipment cuz it is made of metal and rusty looking.
here is a picture of a similar slide
and here is a kid about to be plowed down by the person coming down the slide without realizing

Long time No PostSo my name has traveled way down the Read the Latest list. Probably the farthest down it has ever been. It is mainly because my dad got a new casino game and is on the computer all the time and I am too tired to wait up til he is done. Life is pretty good lately. I saw the Strangers with Candy Movie. Me and (e:jill) loved it. It was really funny. If you liked the show you will definetely like it. I definetely think though that it is one of those things that you either hate or love. I think it would be hard to be like "eh , its ok" about it.
Me and (e:jill) are hopefully going to look at some apartments this weekend. I really realized I need to move out now because my dad is giving up OTB. That is where he goes all day Friday. I have off on Fridays and so that is my day to myself usually. Even though I usually go out and am not home, its just nice to know I can just sit around and not have anyone bothering me or being like "why aren't you dressed, its 4 o'clock". But now he will be home....i need to move out...asap!
Hmm what else...? I guess not much else has happened lately. I just wanted to be back on "the list"!

Black is the new black Part IISo if you read my other post about green no longer being the new black but now black is the new black this is a little addendum. Like two weeks ago when we went out to like Brick Bar I believe, everyone was wearing green and I remember at least two situations where we went out and realized like me, paul, terry were all wearing green. Then like a few days ago we went to Brick Bar and I noticed everyone was wearing black. Its crazy....like people don't even realize how much Cosmo and fashion magazines control their life....

Hey! I was more like 6'6" and 280 - but I digress.
Imagine my amusement when googling myself (yeah yeah) and Buffalo to find this!
For the record: 'Twas a glass half full of Bacardi and I was not informed of the contents prior to chugging. Though it was pretty freakin funny to find you standing behind me in the bathroom stall cackling :)

All I have to say is that there is no reason to go to the Prick bar....is it still all frat boys??? if so, than my comment stands alone - although I do recall having a double bacardi 151 shot there, hummmmm, with Alex Wolfe and some other dude, and then Alex ran to the bathroom and heaved while I giggled....It's always heartwarming to an 18 year old 125-pound girl to be able to outdrink a 6'5" 300lb dude, that's for sure...

That kid is toast.
I read an interesting article :::link::: about how playgrounds are undergoing a renaissance these days. The new thing is "cushioned rubber flooring," which makes sense considering sand can get pretty nasty. Still, whatever happened to grass?
The only first-hand experience I've had with local playgrounds was when my niece and nephew visited in 2002. We hit every damn playground we could in four days, and even fit in a few tourist attractions. You do meet some interesting people at playgrounds, like the Asian family taking their disabled bunny for an outing. I had to take a picture of the bunny in the home-made wheelchair :::link::: they fashioned for him.
oddly enough...Mang Park with all its hazards was much safer than our school park which was completely on blacktop and included just this spiderwebby cube thing you climb to the top adn then just fall to the ground from....but we all survived...it made us tougher i think..i know when you think kids from kenmore you think tough!
long live mang park and its many, many safety hazards! i'm surprised we all still have ten fingers from the rolly slide! that exercise area was the best...and did anyone ever see anyone ACTUALLY using it for exercise?
