    There were no signs indicating this at Pleasant Ave but when I turned around and was facing north the signs were on the east side sidewalks facing south.

    I was aggravated
    Join the club Gorja. We sold the summer lake property and my wife, her brother and her sister-in-law went down to remove our personal belongings before the closing. My wife's brother lives off of Aurora in the Town, and they had to do contortions to pick her up.

    The "Taste of Lancaster," to some of us, is the "Trip Through Hell." But to the others, "Bottoms-up" and "Bon Apetit."

    Maybe a "Wet Dream-a-thon" will be developed into one such expanded "Special Event," with an inspirational talk by Ucum Allover. Proceeds going to under privileged village unics, and of course, a sizable wad (of money) for the contractor.

    I wonder how "The Bee" would cover that? Photo Journalism, at its best, or given the possible contestants, at its worse.

    Glad you enjoyed tonight's program. On next week's show, WNYResident's guest stars will be Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd.

    I don't think tugging your ear will do it. Try tugging few feet south of there.

    I'll bet you struggled a long time weighing those profound words of witty wisdom Grumpster.

    Yep, I can't wait until that expanded "Special Event" takes place. Since you seem to be highly interested, are you signing up as a participant, are you going to broadcast play-by-play coverage, or is it simply an intensely satisfying spectator sport for you?

    few feet south
    BTW,

    Tug a FEW FEET south? A few feet? That must be some gargantuan "ear lobe." Grumspter, you flatter me!

    No worries Shortsuff, the less defensively critical among us know full well what you were trying to convey.
    LOL you guys are right, I had to look back at what I wrote. Sorry Matt Walters. My mind was still on the Heard information. My typos stem from quickness and no glasses, LOL

    LOL Mark, after all of the tragic news over the weekend from Charlottesville and the hatred I have been hearing/seeing, lightheartedness is welcomed. You guys are awesome. I think its great that we can laugh at ourselves for our own mistakes.....

    People would be changing theirs all the time. They would post something stupid and then change it once they were called out on it. This is why there is a 15 minute time limit.

    Oh, I understand the concept Res, don't get me wrong. But there are several of us older people out here who could use an extra ten or so minutes to accommodate our lousy eyes and arthritis.

    Thanx for the response.
