  1. Let's go Yankees, Let's go, let's go ( banging on a bass drum!)
  2. Now this is really one for the books! Guess he believed in going in comfort.
  3. Sarcasm? Not at all. I didn't think I was being sarcastic, and that was not my intent. I was an educator for many, many years, following many directives that I didn't personally agree with, but had to follow as well as rules and regulations that passed on to my students. I just posted the article as an informative piece of literature. I also understand that the decision to let the ff keep the flag will open up a can of worms. So, please don't feel I was being sarcastic.
  4. WOW...READ post #12, The Flag Decal stays on the locker! God Bless America!
  5. Wow, what a debate I stirred up here After carefully reading all that was submitted, it seems that everything, means everything. It also seems given what's been written here, that amble time was given for clarification as to what "everything / nothing" meant. Evidently, no member of the firehouse questioned anything about the directive. Even if that were the case, it still meant, "nothing." No, it was not about the flag, it was anything displayed. So, zero tolerance means, zero tolerance. I guess that's it Tuna
  6. From what I've read and heard...I am not a member of any of the services, but I am sure there is a BIG thank you for all in Westchester and from ALL over the U.S. & Canada, that helped out or showed their respect for a most tragic event. Hat's off again to ALL! A unique group of memebers for sure! Tuna
  7. Yeah, I agree with you. It's a ridiculous policy.
  8. What beautiful pictures you took. Given the weather, they came out so nice with color and clarity! Thanks for what you did and allowing them to be printed for personal use.
  9. Right, it's no one's fault but the person driving....so, no one is blaming anyone. Make the laws tougher!! Then, these people might, just might, think twice. Up the fines, throw them in jail. Hit them where it hurts. Like another post on here, he is being hit with additional charges...GOOD! Just think, because he was driving drunk. No one was hurt, killed etc. That's the way it should be...just because they are driving drunk!
  10. What we need are TOUGHER laws! Maybe some of these offenders would think twice about getting behind the wheel! How many more of these is it going to take?? Makes me sick!
  11. What a shame. Living in Mt. Vernon several years ago, I often stopped at Pete's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I remember his dad sitting on a stool by the cash register smiling at everyone coming and going. He was a pleasant person and it was sad when he passed on. The food and prices were the best. If his son still owns it, he continued his dad's legacy for a long time. I guess it's time for him now to have a break. Sorry to see it go. Little by little, all the good places are closing down. Good luck to his son, in all he does!
  12. Yeah, that's what I posted right before your post. Seems logical...I hope the boy in the hospital is okay. What a terrible thing.
  13. Perhaps an illness, heart, seizure etc. Maybe not aware or even conscious. Time will tell. I feel so bad. What a horrible thing for ALL involved.
  14. Yep, that's the way it looks...A witness on 12 said he saw her coming, she never swerved, or tried to avoid uncoming traffic. It will come out in due time. Prayers to ALL!!!
  15. If you re-read the post that you responded to, he said that the entrance to go NORTH on the TSP from 117 AND the exit ramp...are at the same traffic light. I think it might be easier to understand, if in fact this is what happened, that perhaps the woman went DOWN the exit ramp that was for cars coming off the TSP. There was no mention of a s/b entrance ramp. Correct me if I am wrong.
  16. OMG, this is so unreal and tragic. How does one travel at 2:00p.m. in the afternoon on a 3 lane highway and not see they are going in the wrong direction? This is just not to be believed. So many innocent lives and those children. Its hearbreaking. God bless all of you that were out there doing your jobs. You are special people.
  17. With just a few hot days in July, just starting, I'm ready for some cold stuff. Summer is not my thing. Easier to warm up then to run the AC.
  18. Check Craigs List. There is one on there free, but it looks so antiqued, that I don't think it would cut one blade of grass, LOL. Seriously, have been able to get several free itmes from Criags List. Check it out!
  19. Well, the article states that it was the aunt's dog and the situation has caused a rift in the family as well. Wouldn't the homeowner's insurance cover this? What ever "this" is. Sadly, the medical bills will be astronomical and maybe, some of the doctor's etc. could donate their services? My dog, was attacked while on a leash, on private property, by three pit bulls last month. Thank God, we were able to keep two at bay, while the one that went for his throat, got it's eye teeth caught in my dog's choker collar. Sorry, Pits to the pitbulls....The owner paid for the vet bills. Hope this poor boy recovers nicely.
  20. This site is worth its weight in gold! Thanks to all of you who stand behind it. Hat's off to the entire EMT Bravo group!
  21. Cutting everywhere you look. The healthcare system, schools being cut of aid by $300.000.00 in some places. Jobs in education being cut as a result, lay-off's, they claim, but will not re-hire those let go, but rather have the jobs eliminated. Looking to up the retirement age so people won't won't live long enough to collect any benefits of any kind. It gets better & better. Try waiting to collect a NYS pension or cash in on one. The volume of requests are so high, it could take 4 to 6 months to get your money. The beat goes on..... :angry:
  22. "Nor Eastern??" Never heard of that, LOL, "Nor easter" more like it.
  23. I heard that he was upset by Kennedy going into a seizure. He went to his office after. That sen. is, I think, 92 years old. Bless him for continuing the job at this age. Mondale and 2 senators were there, the VP was at the table with the president.
