You know, I think tomorrow we will need extra large drool cups for the guys.

Just the preface to it was one of the funniest things I have ever read - and the author: The Rodent!!!

[hobbes1]

Fear Not Lovlies. If any cretins get drool on you, you can use my hose to get it off.

Just got off the phone with second in command at the City Inspections Department - I'm still spitting nails.

The City Council hearing about the burned out unit, which was supposed to be in August is now TENTATIVELY scheduled for 9/23.

I can't blame the gal I was on the phone with - her hands are tied - but she knows how torqued I am. (I'm being very careful here with my language)

There are at least 2 owners and 6 lien holders involved in this........do I see $$ in the eyes of some of my legal eagle frineds over this? you better believe it.

But to add insult to injury, they want ME, in fact they EXPECT me, to get other neighbors to attend th hearing on the 23rd. Like I don't have enough other things to deal with - now I've got to do the City's work.

[xsmommy]

say you get a respectable showing to attend? what does the hearing accomplish?

[xsmommy]

i think it is questionable as to whether robt should be excused for the day, actually.

[Gabz]

I thought you would like that - knowing how much you just LOVE those nico-nazis!!!!

[Bella_Bru]

Mr. Cook, do you need to leave early?

[xsmommy]

i am not aware of robt's schedule, i was just wondering if it would be appropriate that he attend on such an ...incendiary day, being as he is a tad excitable....

Good morning Mistress Bella. Just returned from having my hip replaced to learn of Miss Rika's new job and our new school mistress already on the job. A lot can happen in a week.

The news organizations that are so in denial that to them, fireing Ann Coulter seems an invidious idea,are in realtime trouble. She can't pay for publicity like that.

Ann is no hate monger, simply an invenerate truth teller with a razor sharp sarcaustic tounge. Even dem party members can hear the truth in her invidiously assembled thoughts and words, leaving the more vocal of them sputtering about looking for new insults to hurl, thereby proving her to be correct. She's got them skewered with no wiggle room. I absolutely invidiously am in awe of her mind.

[xsmommy]

how are you feeling, wings? we missed you! hope hubby is taking good care of ya!

[Gabz]

All the hearing does is determine who is going to be responsible for the cost of the repair work to the exterior of the building. Yup - just the exterior - as long as it is not being used as a rental unit the city has no say as to the condition of the interior.

I've already been told it will not be condemned because of it being an inside unit in a row of 10 townhouses (rowhouses for you folks from the city)- the city would have to compensate the owners of the other 9 because the entire row would then have to be condemned.

I'm beyond speech at this point I am so ticked off.

[Gabz]

Gotta love that gal!!!!!!!!

Hope you're feeling better.

[Bella_Bru]

Welcome Back! A+!!!!!

[xsmommy]

you really are in a pickle there, gabz. sheesh!

[hobbes1]

you really are in a pickle there

Is that anything like a Pickle Tickle?

[xsmommy]

looks like this kid should be covetous of this judge's invidious bball skills!
