Happy Pre Mother's Day
Category: holidays
We went all seafood for mother's day. I know it's really tomorrow but
we celebrated today because my mom has to work tommorow. We had corn on the cob, cherry stone and little neck clams, shrimp, lobster, fresh
cut fries, and greenbeans. (e:libertad) made banana's foster which was
totes yumtastic as (e:mike) would say

She loves seafood and she loves to reschedule holidays, so I think it
was a huge success.

One last present
Category: housing
From the tenants. This is on the inside of the window as the storeindiw in the outside was not broken.

Luckily, it is an old window that will require surgery just to get it out for repair - fun.

How does anyone break a window from inside? What does one have to do? Throw things at the window in rage? Yikes.

What the he'll is going on here?
Category: housing
I've been watching this house on porter near Kleinhans slowly be consumed by the elements. I hope no one lives in it. It's been like this for so long and seriously looks like it's about to collapse. I wonder if it's abandoned? Anyone know the story behind it?

Must have been such a grand house with all those Roman columns back in the day. That is so sad.

There was an article about this house on Buffalo Rising. I'm so annoyed because I can't remember the details and I can't find the story in the archives.

I think it might be one of those stories of good intentions to restore the house meets Buffalo City Hall Bureaucracy and then everything came to a grinding halt.

lol, i don't know the story behind it, but it's mine! I'm claiming it- looks like a good place to start my co-op for single moms. HA! it's crazy, a couple weeks ago there was a whole page in the paper listing over a thousand properties waiting to be demolished. And they're putting up a fit about a family buying 1 piece of land to start an urban farm. Just blows my mind. Love U!

The Nokia N97 is finally arriving
Category: mobile
The Nokia N97 and I have been waiting for like 2 years for is finally here. The problem is it costs $699 and I am not paying that. Several years ago I might have but right now there are enough smart phones like my stupid iphone that work ok for $199 with carrier discount. I mean the iphone costs about the same if you buy it without a contract. It just does everything I want and it has a keyboard and it is nokia, and I still love them. Having a keyboard would make me mobile blog a lot more. Read this comparison in specs with the iphone

I wish they would team up with a mobile carrier here in the US so I could get a break on it. I want it so bad.

I always thought the touch screen keyboard was such a pain. Though its a good concept, in practice, its annoying.

Crohn's & Colitis Walk
Category: crohns
This is the walk I wrote baout in my previous journal (e:paul,48621).

[box]Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis is our annual walk dedicated to finding cures for these digestive diseases. Our goal is to raise $80,000 on Saturday, May 30 at the Buffalo Zoo & Delaware Park. The walk registration starts at 5:00 pm and the walk kicks off at 6:00 pm. After the walk, everyone is invited to stay and enjoy some food and music by The Frontline. For more information and to register, visit

Nearly 10,000 Western New Yorkers suffer from Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis-400 of whom are children. With the support of communities nationwide, CCFA has raised much needed funds that, through research, have brought us closer to a cure. For those who live with these chronic diseases, life is a roller coaster of active and remitting disease. However, the opportunity to make life more manageable for patients who live day to day with intense pain, the threat of long term hospital stays and multiple surgeries, has never been greater.

More than 80 cents of every dollar raised through our Take Steps Walk campaign goes directly to fund research and patient programs in Buffalo.[/box]
