Felly has convinced me to take a trip to Target to get her coveted cable to connect the DVD player to the VCR and then to TV, all so we can play video games. Very exciting. I'm hesitant simply because I don't want to put on a bra today and going out into public tends to require such things. Alas, the price you pay for entertainment.
Thanks for all the info on the park. I think we shall certainly be taking a trip out there next week sometimes. All your pics look beautiful and worth the drive.
We drenched our bathtub in Tilex mildew remover and I think I'm slowly losing brain cells with every breath I take. I think Felly likes it. Hmm...how to do that neat little link thing to the person? I will have to ask her once she gets off the phone.
For now...

Hello AgainOk so...I initially made an account over a month ago and conviently forgot the passwod to, so I figured I could just start over.
So, first of all I would like to thank all the folks who came out last night and made us feel so welcome. It was fabulous to do a little socializing and good to find some seamingly down to earth people.
Sooooo...I was thinking while the weather is nice I would like to do some hiking, and I've heard of some canyon outside if Buffalo that is crazy huge...I don't know what it's called but someone referred to it as the Grand Canyon of the East. Anyone know what I am talking about and where it is? I certainly would also take suggestions as to other good places to get out of the city. I must admit, I am a country girl as I've never lived in a city before, so I need a little nature in my life to keep me sane.
Also, now that I have met some of you and know that you are in fact real human beings, I think I might be more inclined to be a part of this community.
Now, back to Animal Planet.

Hey (e:lauren) ... i just hiked in Letchworth recently, as did (e:imk2) ... check out my post for a few pics: (e:chico,40428)
It took about 1.5 hours to drive there using directions from Google Maps. Vehicle entry/parking fee is $6 for the day, with re-entry privileges, unless you have a NY Empire State Park pass. Six bucks (plus gas and a bagged lunch) was a very good value. To call it a "Grand Canyon" is pushing it a bit but it is defintely beautiful and well worth the effort.
Hint: Some of the best views along the Gorge Trail (Trail 1, of many) are in so-called "Hazardous Areas". If you're confident of your footing and there's no park ranger around, consider accepting the risks and going the extra few steps.

Here's the link to Letchworth State Park:
:::link:::
The site refers to Letchworth as "GC of the East". I've only been there once and never hiked. It's gorgeous, stunning. A few hours drive from Bflo, well worth it!

I think you're referring to Letchworth state Park. Drew and I went about a month ago. It is pretty incredible. There's a hike down into the gorge; we didn't have time to do it, but we want to get back and try it sometime. It took us a couple of hours to get there, I think. --Drew's wife.

I totally agree with leetee. Hate 'em with all my heart, if only they would stop choking it.
What a pity they are so evil and yet so necessary. :/
bras are... the devil
Use vinegar!! Check out (e:libertad) 's post about the benefits of going green!
Just attach an "e" followed by a ":" before (e:people), and there you have it - a bright shiny link to their parge. :)
A little late, but you know what they say:
WeLCoME To BuFFaLo!!! :)
and I am so sorry I was not in the welcome committee yesterday - had to wrestle with an alligator called work. :(
