Re: Is there a more worthless group of individuals...

Likewise. Ditto....And a Viet Nam vet to boot....... And just to be clear, I didn't mean to imply that the veteran was "above the law". Had the drive been DWI or Reckless Operation, it would have been a different story. It just seems to be that the "Officer" apparently "had...

Re: Is there a more worthless group of individuals...

You might consider passing this info on to the newspaper or one of the "action reporters" for the TV stations. This is a real human interest story and to issue a citation for such a petty violation to a Vet, on July 4th is beyond comprenhension. Especially considering that he has the Purpl...

Re: Ruth's Chris/Loyalty

There was no way you could keep all other locations running smoothly when HQ was out of order. And out of order for a very extended period. That reasoning is not valid. If "they" had any concern about the chains' home base, they could have relocated HQ to another part of the state (just l...

Re: Ruth's Chris/Loyalty

I'm with you. There are too many other good places to eat, that actually support the city, than to worry about Ruth's Chris. Personally, I think Dickie Brennans has better steak anyway!!

Re: Finally I Can Get With It Again!

LNS, You may want to check out http://www.sstar.com/ for your ISP needs. I had them set up service in my office before I retired and they were very reasonable and responsible. They are a local company and have been in business since 1994. I have no interest in the company or the principals. I was ju...

Re: Restaurant.com

I was wrong about the savings - with the 18% mandatory tip, the $35 meal actually costs $44.84, with your out of pocket expense being $19.84 + the $2 the coupon cost you, or $21.84. REAL total savings (23/44.84) = 51%. So it IS basically buy one get one free! But you'd never know that from the way ...

Re: The ARROGANCE of Obama, his handlers and the FAA!

There was no explanation about the purpose of taking photos involving the F16, the 747 and the Statue of Liberty. What purpose could possibly merit this level of secrecy? It just does not make sense. They did say that they were updating the "stock photo" that is furnished to the media, bu...

Re: Birthday cake

I have just received an update/correction on the information I submitted regarding Erin's Cakes. I apologize for the inaccuracies. Erin does, in fact, bake cakes, but not for the reasons in the original posting. The factual info as included in the PM sent to me, is as follows: "I called Brother...
