  1. That happens al the time with stocks just emerging on the market.
  2. No we always know when Easter is. It's the day BEFORE Dyngus Day! Frankie Yankovic is no relation to Weird Al. Weird Al is probably on of the best accordionists around today. 10 years ago, when I was in rehab recovering from a stroke in California, they had an accordionist come through the nursing home. Played Lady of Spain and stuff like that. The he got to my room, I asked him to play Who Stole the Keisha? he gladly did. He was originally from Chicago and we talked about polka bands from Buffalo for about 20 minutes.
  3. For those who are not familiar with it- The Polish St. Patrick's Day. Always the day after Easter. Bar crawls on the east side. The parade today is on Broadway from Memorial to Fillmore and then down Filmrmore to Paderewski at 5:30. Bring your pussywillows!
  4. Stay away from you! You've got the clap!
  5. Does she have her finger in a light socket while filming this video? Hello dere! Us boomers may get the reference.
  6. When you cut the red tape, Things happen a lot faster. The contractor called a place in in in Arizona to start constructing the beams . They had a police escort from AZ and CA state troopers all the way to the site. They had welders standing by to start immediately 24/7.As soon as the welds were inspected the concrete was poured. As soon as itched,they inspected it. The contractor bid under a million with big bonuses for every day they beat the deadline. It came in for under half what it would have cost if it was dime the normal slow way. The same contractor built the S-curve approach on the Treasure Island approach for the new Bay Bridgege in SF Bay. A several hundred foot section had to repalce temporarily where the road went from double decks to side by side. They built the section on 150-200 ft high stilts, close the road on Labor Day weekend, destroy that section and place the new section in . It was scheduled from Friday at 7- Tuesday morning. They moved the new piece over and in place. It opened up Labor Day morning a day ahead of schedule. Look both up on the internet.
  7. The McArthur Maze collapse in Oakland was rebuilt and opened in 6 weeks-2 months. The Governator limited bids to 2 days and work started the next day after the bid was approved. They said it would take 6 months-one yer if they did it normally
  8. Got the MMR vaccine the it came out because of the mumps. Never had it before the vaccine came out although i had the measles and rubella before the vaccine.
  9. My godmother had it about 16 years ago. The lousy thing is by time symptoms appear, it is in stage 4. She was receiving an experimental med that cost thousands of $ a dose. Since it was experimental, she didn't have to pay anything. The doc told her it wouldn't cure her, but prolong her life some. She lasted 3 years when the average after diagnosis was 6-12 months.
  10. His foundation made major contribution to the Hospice in Cheektowaga and is paying for the restoration of Riverside Park.
  11. This AM they said 2 people rescued, one in serious condition. Looking for at least 20 more people.
  12. He posts here when his handlers undo his straight jacket.
  13. Vaant lots near the stadium are being cleared. It doesn't happen instantaneously. Southwestern Blvd from OP Road to McKinley was all tree filled vacant lots back in 1973. Now it is totally developed. Why do you suppose the McKinley Mall was placed there?
  14. George Harrison visited Haight-Ashbury once. He was disgusted with all the waste products walking around there. I lived in the Bay area close to 20 years, Hasn't changed, just spread to the whole city.
