Our block club is planting ~30 new trees on linwood today. (e:matthew)

Saturday.

Hetero-norminative Peaches
Category: ladies
I am eating dinner at Bistro Europa with (e:terry) and these pretty ladies are fretting about someone calling them hetereo-norminative? I'm not even sure what that means butI am guessing from the conversation that it was said in a derogatory way.

On another front the police were beating down some black dudes outside the old KFC. The window is boarded up. Not sure if it is related.

Well, according to Wikipedia (OK, OK - never reliable I know): :::link:::

I have no idea what that term is, I wonder if someone would have asked them, if they would have known what it meant. KFC they also had some kind of problems with pipes or something. I was hoping now that it closed that they would Open up a Taco Bell there a Pizza hut with all the pizza places would be silly

They ran the KFC into the ground and it turned out they were embezzling something fierce so the 5-0 opened a case of white-collar police brutality.

I am guessing the ladies were unclear on the concept.

But, there are plans for that KFC. Big plans. Retail/Resiential space with three stories, I think.

The window has been boarded up for a while.

Anything but sterile pads

To start out with, these pads are from Hills. When did they close
1989? Then they must have gotten wet, followed by dusty. I keep
asking myself why I hold onto them because anytime I need a sterile
pad - this us not what I am looking for.

Roswell Recycling And Work
Category: work
Seems like all the suggestions finally paid off as they are looking to implement Bottle and Can recycling at Roswell. I am posting this in case (e:libertad) or (e:tinypliny) are interested and didn't read the in betweeners. I only noticed it because I was reading it while waiting for something to upload.

[box]Recycle Committee Members Wanted

In response to a number of comments that have been received in the Suggestion Box, a small committee will be formed to address recycling of bottles and cans. If you are interested in participating, please contact Cynthia Schwartz via email at cynthia.schwartz@roswellpark.org. The committee will be made up of employees working in each of the 12 major buildings so that the logistics of recycling in specific buildings are taken into consideration as well as the process of collecting, storing, and returning bottles and cans. You will be notified mid-May regarding committee selection and the first meeting date.[/box]

I really wish I could be involved but I seriously don't have time for anything else.

I spent the day doing work for work althought it is my day off. I would say, I could just take the time off next week but I don't have time for that, argh.

Thanks Paul. I am shooting her an email. I will be a part of this if they will have me.
libertad - 05/01/09 17:54
I'm not quite sure how I could participate in that. My department wouldn't want me to leave for that kind of thing. I guess I can email her and find out more details. I would like to use the committee to get more than just cans and bottles recycled.

It's all garbage
Category: housing
The plumber is here to fix a drain in our tub and he told me it is nice we kept this house up, most houses in the city are ripped apart. He would never live here anyways though cause the "neighborhood is garbage."
metalpeter - 05/02/09 16:13
I didn't hear what he said. But I bet he gets a lot of calls from rental places where things go bad because of things you shouldn't do. I bet he also gets a lot of calls from places that are messed up. It wouldn't surprise me if he has gone to places being fixed up. I live in the city but to people on the island where you live is the east side. The thing that is important is he liked the house and if he did a good job?
paul - 05/01/09 16:20
He lives on Grand Island.
tinypliny - 05/01/09 10:41
?? What is he in alternate universe??
james - 05/01/09 10:17
When people say stupid things it is best to ignore them... and then pour a cup of hot coffee on them.
libertad - 05/01/09 09:59
I can't believe he said that to you. Did you ask him where he lives?
