That is besides (e:terry). Look how nice our sidewalk is and how it
abruptly ends.
The one place that is totally clear is the Bank of America between
franklink and delaware. They gave heated sidewalks. How much energy
does that take?

Raisins and malt beverageFirst of all raisins never had cholesterol. Second why can they sell
12% malt beverage with caffeine but not wine at the gas station.

I wondered what that tastes like but Haven't tried it. I have Tried Joose and it is really strong and lasts me a long time. I know recently year wise that a lot of the laws have changed, used to be no beer before noon on a sunday. It also used to be that molson or was it labatt had that beer that was to high of a % to sell here and you could only get it in Canada, you can buy it here so that would mean that rule changed. Not sure how they say what is Liquor and what is beer but there is some way that they do.......

Yes, and apparently Bananas are fat-free according to stickers on them.
I am scared to think what they need to do to bananas to make them *Really* fat-free.

Times squareI have a web cam of time square app for my chumby. I can't believe
how it is always busy. Not a moment goes by with it empty. It kind
of gives me anxiety and I am not even there.

One of my favorite things on the planet is going out late enough to just catch the last train out of Grand Central. The vast empty streets of Manhattan are beautiful.

Why can't they just shut up?I sometimes feel bad about it because I judge christians as a group
before getting to know them as individuals while at the same time
complaining about them doing the same thing to every other group. I
recognize the hypocracy in that.
That being said, it's things like this that make feel this way. I was
searching apps for the iPhone and found one that showed you local glbt
events, clubs, etc and somehow christians had decided to download and
negatively review it in moral grounds. I constantly blows my mind that they fixate on the gay thing when the bible barely does.
As soon as people begin to rate apps on moral ground, it ruins the whole app rating system. It becomes much more difficult to tell what Is legitemately a lame app and what some people morally oppose. And its not like I can't understand what it feels like to be morally opposed to something. The fact is, I morally opposed to shooting games but I would never vote them down in the app store because if it.
If I was the app writer I would sue those people for financial damages.
Sometimes, I wish I could just wake up one morning in a Christian free world. Maybe my first chance will be in hell. I am sure that is what they are thinking.

I think if you go to the app store online (instead of on your phone) you can flag the inappropriate reviews.

I've seen the inverse on religious apps. For example, the Mormons have various apps related to their religious culture and I've seen many bigoted and absolutely non-app related reviews. So, throwing all the Christians to the lions seems a tad dramatic.
Because the internet is such an open forum, you're going to get trolls. I just look for the reviewers who aren't foaming at the mouth and then base my judgements on my interpretation of those various reviews.

Oh that is the last straw Jim. I have tried to be a nice guy, but this is just too much. You want to play like that? Fine. Then perhaps you wont be so happy when I tell everyone your dark secret.
Jim doesn't care for microwave popcorn.
Ya, that's right Jim. I went there!

Be assured not every Christian out there is going to be a jack off about an iPhone App. It's sad these ones were, though. And you make a good point about the war games, I know you don't like those. I'm not sure how you fix the ratings system.

I need to wear my snowboots but they make me so clumsy in the snow.
I have a snow blower so doing my sidewalk is very easy and I tend to go up and down a few houses as well. The house next to us does not even do their driveway. When I run up and down Main Street in Amherst it amazes me as to how many people do not clear the snow in front of the house. I usually am motivated by someone falling and then suing me. This does not look to bad but if we get more snow on top of this and that gets packed down you are looking at a real problem.
Anyone who shovels should be dropping some salt when finished. In general the people who shovel on my block do a good job of this, being a commercial block and all.
And she is ROSEMARY! She cornered me again today!
heh, the advantage of being somewhat puny is that you can walk on top of 3 feet without it collapsing under you. ;-)
Jokes aside, I know its nice to not have to walk on snow, but its just impossible for everyone to keep shovelling when you have snowstorms like crazy. I am just looking at the positive side.
Its interesting that you mentioned trousers getting wet. I think snow here must be more powdery than Rochester because I can usually dust it off as soon I reach a stand-still on the way (red-lights, destination etc.) If you let it build it eventually makes for a lot of unpleasantness so the dusting off trick at regular intervals works well.
Unfortunately city code does not agree with you (e:Tinypliny). Supposedly you can be fined for not shoveling, though this is apparently not much enforced. I want to see you have the same sentiment once it is 3 feet high instead of one foot. :p
Aren't your feet cold and wet all day from pant legs getting soaked in the snow?
You shouldn't too. Pardon my anti-shovelling sentiments but I think shovelling makes walking more dangerous because ice is more likely to form on the wet cold ground than on powdery snow. I slip more often on shovelled pavements than non-shovelled one. I can walk top-speed on snow but walking on shovelled icy surfaces is such a disaster in the morning. I have skinned elbows to prove it. :(
If that shit is still there tomorrow call 311 and report the mother fuckers.
