  1. I am 51 and have an 18 year old daughter. Somehow I do not think I would be slapping Bruce on the back, saying "Way to go, Dude!" if she brought him home. I did spend some time with a 35 year old when I was 18, and we had one thing in common.
  2. She does not live there, she lives up by Prospect Park. Bensonhurst seems to be an area that is seeing an increase in Chinese and Russian immigrants. The kids there really want to learn. She has taught on the east side of Manhattan and Chinatown, and is used to living in Brooklyn. Is there something I do not know about Bensonhurst you were trying to tell me?
  3. Hey, Rich - our little girl (babyrock) just got a job teaching in Brooklyn, at Bensonhurst Elementary.
  4. I should have mentioned: Dropped out from SUNY Geneseo in 1973 to see the world; a year later I was making popcorn poppers in a sweatshop for minimum wage. After I had a wife, house, and three kids, I went back to school, part time nights. Took me 8 years. I often worked two jobs, and had to skip semesters now and then because we had no funds. My company matched the tuition as long as my grades did not suck. Graduated with high honors (3.57) and an Associates in Business in '92. I cannot say it did much for my career, but it did a lot for ME.
  5. I am listening to WFUV on line now! I graduated from RIT.
  6. I met you and your son last summer, and have nothing but complete respect for you both. You raised a great kid, Mom!
  7. Nope, you wasted your money!
  8. It is much easier to just say "Here is $54. Now go over there and lie down."
  9. It means they need more cowbell!
  10. As a "small market" team, the Bills have surprisingly finished in the top ten in paid attendance in the league in 2003 & 2004. Back in 2001 they were 20th. Things aren't always as bad as we paint them. attendance ranking Looking at Arizona - dead last all four years, with an average home attendance under 40,000 - I think the NFL should look elsewhere when it comes time to relocate franchises.
  11. No. They would not be the Buffalo Bills, just a team of familiar players living in another city.
  12. Hmmm. J.P. Looseman?
  13. Shook his hand in 1964 and I have been a Bills fan ever since.
  14. Only unaltered Bills Jersey I have. Great choice!
  15. Current: Coy Wire All Time: Fred Smerlas or Tom Day
  16. Ahr & Ahr & Associates They must be twins.
  17. At our local school, teacher's salaries (including a raise) are placed on the austerity budget, while transportation of elementary school children was supplemental. So 5 year olds within one mile of the school should walk to kindergarten? The district just keeps having additional votes, moving a few numbers around, until panicky parents finally pass the BS budget.
  18. His one liners were along this line: "I love my mother.... and for $25 so can you."
  19. You are such a sexist! Hi, Sweetie!
  20. I agree. Not everyone can be Bruce Smith; I'll be happy with a Hansen style player anyday.
  21. I believe that the cash is there. If I am not mistaken, the issue is that RW's heirs are not all interested in owning the Bills.
  22. No, I have only stayed at Rui Jalisco, Club Marival, (both about an hour north in Nuevo Vallarta) and this last trip at the Marina Vallarta, a 40 cent taxi ride to "Centro". We have stayed at all inclusive resorts as a "base" because of young nieces and nephews, but if it was just my family, all adults, I would find someplace downtown. If you want Mexico, stay close to the city. If you want beautiful resorts, a bit more "americanized", go to Nuevo Vallarta. Where exactly is Pueblo Rose? I may know the area. Um, you know that summer is the rainy season right?
  23. I just got back from Puerto Vallarta a couple hours ago. Where are you staying? Let's see, shots of tequila Wednesday night, horseback riding from Mismaloya beach, up the river into the Sierra Madres (El Eden) on Thursday, went out that night for buckets of beer at the Zoo until 2:30 Friday morning, and here I am 24 hours later, back on the wall. It sucked getting back into Rochester, almost midnight and SNOW everywhere, still wearing shorts and sandals! Feeling old? I am only 51, and no thanks!
