Leanne about: babies one of my co-workers says "yellow" when he answers his phone. he also sayd "okalee-dokalee" alot.    Leanne about: Reporting Back Pretty sure Jonesy has already been ok'd :-)    Leanne about: all-star I used to love the punch-out cards! I used to vote for all Blue Jays players...or former Jays:-)   Leanne about: hearthquake Same here. co-workers felt it, but i didnt. I blame the hearthquake on Uncle Dougums...He brought some of the west coast back with him.   Leanne about: zzzz ha! i love when my weekend is different from wes'. mom, dad, dougums. shopping with mom. balon baby meet n greet. bridal shower in canada/canada family time. no productivity whatsoever!!! hopefully alcohol consumption is at a relatively satisfying level.   Leanne about: my 2 cents wow Aaron...that was amazing! i will have to sit with all of that for a bit. i loved that movie for its sci-fi geekiness, but i always have to go into those movies (Star Trek, ANY Bond, even Star Wars) being willing to set aside questions of science, and often ignore plot holes just in order for me to enjoy it. Star Trek was sci-fi candy for me, but you raise alot of very good points!   Leanne about: zzzz No thews, definitely NOT knocked up. Abby was just asking me if i had gotten any updates from Tony yet...I dont expect to, cus my phone is crap:-(   Leanne about: zzzz We're having people over saturday night for some deck awesomeness if anyone is interested:-) Oh, and everyone send happy thoughts to the Balons...Jess is being induced today!!!!   Leanne about: Lost Still lots of questions about the overall island mythology, but i think it was a satisfying ending. the show wasnt about the island as much as it was supposed to be about the people and their journey. looking at it that way i can be happy with the way it ended. in sci-fi movies you dont always get the answers...you just accept what is happening. this show had sci-fi elements to it and as long as you just went on the ride and accepted some things, it was fun.    Leanne about: KFC meat The KFC that used to be on Elmwood was closed down for health violations. At one point they were caught dumping grease and "chicken" scraps into the storm sewer in front of the store. and another time i seem to remember grease and other store waste somehow running down the street in front of the store...cant remember how that happened, i just know it was disgusting. glad its gone. Is KFC's coleslaw still fluorescent green? i used to love that stuff when i was a kid.   Leanne about: now all our teams are done my co-worker is walking around in a Bruins t-shirt today. That leaves all of us shouting "Go Flyers" as we walk past her...which is quickly followed by us cringing with disgust at what we just said. sports are officially stupid. I think i need to become one of those girls that hates sports.    Leanne about: Gideon starts to eat I didnt watch the video yet, but i love the NASA stickers, and the thumbs up sign in the screen shot:-)   Leanne about: TV so true Aaron! here is a quick review of last nights episode with some classic quotes  modern warfare Leanne about: TV the slow-motion paint ball shoot out between chang and brie was amazing, esp the close up of the paintballs hitting eachother mid air! SO many highlights!   Leanne about: TV Does anybody watch Community? if not, you should. The show started slow, and has had its weak moments, but last night was possibly the most hilarious 30 minutes wes and i have ever watched on TV. yes, thts a bold statement, but it was brilliant!   Leanne about: boner jam I considered myself a ginormous Pearl Jam fan back in the day. serious grunge chick. was not a fan of vitalogy or any album after. Picked up on them again with the release of Riot Act, and havent turned back. Re-listened to most of their discography over the past few weeks. while they had a few weak albums in there, they have maintained their reputation as a solid band. (ps...vitalogy is now great!) They were part of a large movement that turned music on its head, and have continued to put out solid albums, and can still put on an amazing show. thts what makes them the "rolling stones" of our generation. maybe not so much whether you like them, but i think just b/c of the role that they play in our generations music. Ok...there you go. I dont say much about music, but that was my dissertation on Pearl Jam :-)   Leanne about: babies Wes and I made a quick trip to Cleveland this weekend to visit all of the kiddos. I posted some pics in the Pictures section. Our friends make cute babies:-)   Leanne about: house not trying to talk you out of it at all...just sharing with you the joys of being a landlord:-) we laugh at these two...its so entertaining to learn how useless people are! just sign the papers!! the benefits of being a landlord outweigh the occasional calls to plunge a toilet or teach them how to close a window!   Leanne about: house or calls you to replace a lightbulb...that one might be my favorite:-)   Leanne about: Uncle Dougums for hire! Holy crap! Dougums is now also an Attorney in New York State! Congrats lil bro!   Leanne about: house wow! that place looks nice!! Good Luck Derek!   Leanne about: house having some/most of your mortgage paid for is awesome! wondering each year if they will renew their lease, and then going through the annoyance of finding someone new is bothersome and stressful, but again, the whole mortgage thing is sweet!! be ready to fix things alot...you need two of everything...but when tax time comes, everything you did to the house is deductible:-) Investment property is a good thing.    Leanne about: NFL schedule if the Bills take Tebow AND the Sabres continue to suck ass and lose the next game, I worry my husband may jump from the closest tall building...   Leanne about: home thts great Derek!! congrats!! any word on when you close? for having a super small lawn, i will admit that Wes does a kick-ass job with it:-) the neighborhood middle school girls might not rate it as the best, but it ranks pretty high!   Leanne about: post-crawl unfortunately Derek, the pics i took of you "dancing" with Harold's future sister-in-law did not turn out. I think i had drunk photographer syndrome at that point:-)   Leanne about: post-crawl I posted a link under pictures...enjoy. Cathryn, a few of your pics are in there too.   Leanne about: post-crawl yes...i have some. Can post a slideshow shortly. I will title it "Derek as photo-bomber"   Leanne about: CAD help Im sure everyone uses their own cad layer standards now, but by any chance does anyone use the most recent AIA CAD layer guidelines? we are required to use it for one job, and all i have is a printout of the version from 1990.    Leanne about: appropriate vent how do you call yourself an engineering firm and NOT have any mechanical pencils in the supply cupboards?!?!?! all i see is #2 pencils...seriously?!   Leanne about: Is it friend time yet?! when will everyone be here?! I cant focus!   Leanne about: Gideon Update SO glad to hear that Gideon is going to be Ok:-)thats great news! sending hugs and kisses to you guys Berg! Please tell me that you guys are going to fit him with a mini Browns helmet...or at least that its an option:-)   Leanne about: random   Wegmans - the pub Leanne about: random wegmans IS awesome. im sure we could go on a field trip, but it probably wont live up to the hype. I still hate doing groceries:-) there is a wegmans somewhere in another state that has a pub in it. wes and i were reminiscing yesterday about how horrible it was to shop at Acme, Giant Eagle and Apples while living in Kent.   Leanne about: Cam yay!! congrats!!! he's adorable:-) Cristen, you rock!!   Leanne about: Cool kids wear t-shirts! For the few of you who are Crawling with us next weekend, just a reminder that you have to order your super awesome t-shirts by tomorrow! We will hand them out on Friday, or at the first bar.   Leanne about: Thews 2.1 Good luck Cristen!!! Im sure you guys wont check in until Horatio is born...cant wait to see pics and hear his name:-)   Leanne about: Thews 2.1 Q-bert?   Leanne about: lost boys Sorry derek, but Kiefer Sutherland is super creepy and NOT sexy in that movie. (ps...you do NOT look like him)   Leanne about: lost boys Now only one Corey remains:-( let the constant tear-filled interviews with Corey Feldman begin! First his dear MJ, and now the Other Corey...how will he go on?!    Leanne about: Im heading out soon...heading for the slopes tomorrow morning! woo!! Cristen, big hugs, and hope your little guy arrives soon:-)   Leanne about: o.m.g. we were supposed to get quite a bit of snow, but it bypassed us and went to Rochester. We got a few inches...just enough to make our street really pretty this morning:-)   Leanne about: 8 for 8 Thts awesome Aaron, congrats!!   Leanne about: winter is awesome City crews and people from the tournament are helping it along on our waterfront. I wouldnt exactly call it "pond" hockey:-)  ice! Leanne about: winter is awesome so, there is a winter festival in the B-lo this weekend with a Pond Hockey tourney going on at the same time. there will be the worlds largest ice-maze, lots of snow/ice related races, beer, bands, and then THIS...  tubing on the highway?! Leanne about: Have you found a missin Boner?   Missing Boner! Leanne about: poop at 2:00   Leanne about: olympic personally, im excited for the game on Sunday!   Leanne about: yay canada! or, whats the over/under on how many stupid canadian stereotypes the NBC broadcasters throw out there? or how many times the NBC broadcasters say "EH?" just to be funny? oh, wow, im kind of glad i wont be watching this live tonight, lol!   Leanne about: yay canada! Or you could do how many times the beaver is represented both abstractly and literally in the opening ceremonies.   Leanne about: yay canada! holy crap! he died?! that is the worst! last i heard was that he was in serious condition. wow.    Leanne about: yay canada! That article was mostly not funny, mostly insulting, and yes, i do have a sense of humoUr. the part i did laugh at was when he talked about plugging in your car. we used to have to do that when we lived in Alberta...seriously! Timmy Ho's is Canada's gift to the world. its awesome. we will be sure to have some coffee and Timbits St.Pats weekend. i am Team Canada...i already have a pair of those kickass mittens everyone at the Olymipics is sporting. I will admit though that i am really really struggling with cheering against Team USA's hockey team b/c of Ryan Miller being their goalie.   Leanne about: yay canada! I cant take credit for it...got it off a comment thread on this CNN article:-)  Torch Leanne about: yay canada! DOn Cherry would be awesomely hilarious.   Leanne about: nerd boner Stoopid i phone is right! i thought it was my computer:-) That ipad bit on tosh was hilarious!!! as was the video of the walrus!   Leanne about: research for Work hmmm...im sure wes has said some pretty dumb things to me, but im always drunk when we sleep together, so i might not remember too easily|   Leanne about: nerd boner We're going to a Queen City Roller Girls match. yes, thts right...Roller girls!! awesome. Roller skates, mean chicks, fighting and beer!   Leanne about: site update Site looks great Bub! And Josh, that comic site is funny:-) Epic!   Leanne about: question wesispoop.com   Leanne about: hey buffalo I will say that after this weekend i have come to appreciate the snow handling capabilities of this region, as well as the snow-driving ability of (most) drivers around here. Holy crap was that some sketchy driving this weekend in C-bus! Our murder-plows are awesome!!!   Leanne about: cheese holy crap those places look awesome!   Leanne about: cheese When Abby changed pics, for some reason we had to sign in again. Andy, you must have hit the "register" link instead of the "sign in" link.   Leanne about: Baby G awww...great pics Berg! PS...Cathryn and I win for being the first college friends (who arent family!) to meet Gideon:-) One of these days he will be bigger than Speedy!   Leanne about: cheese holy crap...bub, thts a brilliant idea! in the meantime, we can be drunk and lazy the weekend of March 20th here in the B-lo!   Leanne about: site update ahhhhh...i miss our house on the OBX   Leanne about: Theres a book called "who moved my cheese". Its about change in the workplace and how most people cant/wont deal with it. I think the main characters are mice.   Leanne about: Lost Chubbie PS...the title of this post makes me laugh:-)   Leanne about: Lost Chubbie ME ME ME!!!! Watch this video. Everyone, this is an apology for how annoying we are in our Lost enjoyment:-)  Lost fans Leanne about: hockey Mante had an exciting vet visit yesterday, so he slept through most of the game. But he had some crazy dreams and at one point i think i heard him mumble between snores, "stupid half breed" and then he started moving his front legs in a punching movement...kind of weird!   Leanne about: hockey What an entertaining hockey game last night! the result wasnt the greatest, but it sure was fun to watch! I wish more hockey games were that entertaining! (we missed most of the second period b/c our DVR was taping too many shows! damn it!)   Leanne about: hockey Mante is SOOOOO pumped! he has been wearing his Sabres bandana for days in preparation for tonight AND Saturday:-) He wants to shit talk with Cooper and Oscar!   Leanne about: trains mmm..."pork porn"!   Leanne about: st.patty and by seedy we mean there was a dude with a VERY ripped shirt (might as well have been wearing no shirt) that gave us the death stare...or was that look just b/c he could smell his own B.O? oh, and they ran out of both amaretto and jack. And drafts were $1.25. It was awesome!!!   Leanne about: Fail It really was great! Its sad that he has become such a joke.    Leanne about: bils Buddy Nix and Can Gailey?! WTF kind of names are those? their accents are like fingernails on a chalkboard! i noticed this last night...isnt it weird that the owner wasnt at the news conference announcing the new head coach?   Leanne about: bils Thts funny that you mention the accents Andy! We were watching the highlights of the news conference last night and i went on a tirade about not being able to handle all of the southern accents (both Gailey and our new GM!) on my football team! It so f'ing annoying! I hate my football team. GO SABRES!!!   Leanne about: xbox debate and we also have a wireless controller, which is pretty cool. dont know if it comes with the xbox or not.   Leanne about: xbox debate No, wes paid the extra for the black/dark grey one. I think it has extra storage?    Leanne about: xbox debate ours is wireless...thts about all i know about it. and when we use netflix its best to make sure we are NOT using the internet on our computers. that way we get better quality movies.   Leanne about: Kinda Working I dont know what current etiquette says, but i think a letter goes a long way. email is too impersonal. You will stand out if you send a letter. IMO it doesnt have to be handwritten, you can type it on nicer paper.   Leanne about: More random stuff Thews, that voice message was hilarious. but you two seriously crossed into mega-geekdom last night trading voice messages over x-box! Wes was possibly at his least hottest last night while wearing his xbox headset and holding his xbox controller while staring at the tv and giggling.   Leanne about: crawl so...b-lo agress on March 20th...will people from Ohio/PA come to Buffalo. that is the next question. we know Thews' are out. A-ron/Lindsay? Dickey/Marcie? C-bus crew? Pitt crew? remember, it is Buffalo, so it WILL be awesome!    Leanne about: crawl I agree wes, i just want to make sure we are all looking at the same dates. I looked into it, and it looks like the parade is the weekend before, so Buffalo will be celerating St pats the weekend before.   Leanne about: crawl I think that was the biggest question that i had...if it would be ok to do the crawl the weekend of the 20th. i figured there would be a few of us that would not feel up to it the weekend after Killington. Wes and i can house a small group, but the rest will either have to stay at the Balon's or hotel it. so there should be plenty of room. TOny, are you ok with doing it the weekend after St Pats?   Leanne about: St. Patty you're making that up...thts too perfect!   Leanne about: St Patty oh Cathryn, I am definitely in for a Sheboygen Falls crawl!!!   Leanne about: St Patty Biggie,I bet a bar out there has a bunch of shot glasses on a ski! hmmm...maybe a killington crawl is in order! but im not so sure we can walk between bars:-/   Leanne about: keurig coffee we had one at the office and it was AWESOME! then my boss did a cost-analysis and realized how much it would cost us for a year at the rate we were going through coffee and it was assinine. so we have regular coffee pots now:-)   Leanne about: keurig coffee yup:-) its totally true! sometime around xmas/New years...they have been making the rounds before they posted it!   Leanne about: mmmm...tasty beer popular...apparently said seasonal beer has eaten away at my brain   Leanne about: mmmm...tasty beer Seasonal beer has become my downfall this year. Saw this article, but i noticed there is at least one rather polular beer missing from this list!!  Clevelanders, Revolt!!! Leanne about: bdc fun 29,576   Leanne about: Nissassa oh shit...its over  movie parties Leanne about: Nissassa I think i also just discovered last week that there are other "networks" that allow you to rent movies through Xbox live. I think its zune...you rent them through your xbox dollars or whatever the f they call them. thts the annoying part. 1 "xbox currency" does not equal $1. It basically turns your xbox into blockbuster on demand!   Leanne about: Nissassa wait...does this mean you guys will play together online?! Cristen, i think we may have officially lost our husbands!   Leanne about: holidays Merry Holidays everyone! Missing you all...Hugs and Kisses!   Leanne about: awesomeness You know whats awesome?! Today is my last day of work until January 4th!! booyahh!!! And we also find out wes' Number 1 album of the year!   Leanne about: 2009 albums so far We have been pushing SFA for years. Quite simply, they kick ass. recorded, and in concert. I havent spent much time with their new album, but i am a big fan of their other albums. Its also kind of funny in concert when you suddenly realize that their lead singer looks like Mike Moorehead, but is Welsh.   Leanne about: 2009 albums - Wes was in meetings all day yesterday, so we can blame his slacker-tude on that. or we can just blame it on his lack of awesome-ness:-)   Leanne about: Friday Funny   Burn The City!! Leanne about: playmates I'm totally going to adobt those pugs just to freak you guys out everytime you come over. Harry is going to lick your face and you will wonder if he is sampling the buffet or saying hello!   Leanne about: footballs ugggh...that sucks. so sad.   Leanne about: economy nope. still nothing.   Leanne about: birthdays Happy Birfday Mr. Engrish!   Leanne about: stupid mondays nice find Cristen! How is this for a T-shirt (and Yes, wes said this the other day!): "I'm not creepy, I'm your husband"    Leanne about: stupid mondays PS...wes, did you see what made Jeff Miers' Top Ten, AND is his number 1?! you and i are officially fighting, and i might go and make out with Jeff Miers.   Leanne about: stupid mondays for comparison to Wes' top ten...this one definitely has a greater variety of musical styles...and some crap, lol. oh, and wes just realized this weekend that this time of year we hang out in the same social circle as Steve Tasker:-) or has he fallen far enough that he hangs out in the same social circle as us?   Top Ten Leanne about: work Planning Team to the rescue? Talked to my co-worker. Its probably a projection issue...you might have different projections set between your data and your map. Anyways, go to the Esri site and go to their forum (i think he said its a "knowledge forum"?). Sign up for a screen name, and if you post your question, within minutes you will have an answer. I took several GIS courses, but havent used it in years...My co-worker just re-taught himself and used the ESRI forum alot.   Leanne about: shutterfly Ps...i think our site wins the "best site name" contest:-)   Leanne about: shutterfly   http://awesometownusa.shutterfly.com/ Leanne about: shutterfly we do. its through my email address...i think you just make people members of your site. and you can set it to send them reminders when you upload pictures, or give them different capabilities on the site as well.   Leanne about: footballs Welcome to Hockey Season Bub...its much more fun over here!!!    Leanne about: hockey I heart Ryan Miller. He is the Cage Master!   Leanne about: stuff Aaron...about your skiing comment last week...just a heads up; Holimont is a private club and doesnt do weekend skiing for non-members. But Holiday Valley, which is the larger resort in E-ville does. Once we have more details about Vermont, i will let you and anyone else interested know...we may be aiming for March.   Leanne about: Most awesome video ever!! i agree...thts a pretty sweet video! has me doing a happy dance!!   Leanne about: happy turkey naps! Happy Thanksgiving!!! I'm thankful for all of you :-) Hugs!   Leanne about: so, to translate that to today, does that mean my dad should have spent the first month of our marriage buying wes as much beer as he wanted? You guys should have researched that term years ago and attempted to take advantage of that!   Leanne about: birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs to both of you!   Leanne about: footballs hmmm...i have not heard from him either...i have been hearing those rumors all day too. not good, not good. stupid bills. Wes, please dont jump! thankfully he cant get up to our roof without me holding the ladder...   Leanne about: New Years the walk is certainly awesome. the not as awesome; its a fancy, somewhat pretentious, and expensive bar. we were easily the youngest people there(by 15 years)on a Friday night. BUT i hear it that it can attract a younger crowd some nights...oh, and only open until midnight...   Leanne about: New Years discovered a bar in the back of a fancy restaurant only a 2 minute walk from our house, away from Elmwood...awesome, or not awesome? have not decided yet.   Leanne about: Another Bruiser hooray baby!! Congrats Mengs!!   Leanne about: vote! Speaking of voting...go to the site below. Under the "97 rock buzz" column select "Diners and Dives". and if you know whats good for you, vote for the BarBill. they are currently third, which is a crime. Many of you have gone there for the tastiest wings and beef on weck in the world. kthxbye:-)  BarBill=awesome Leanne about: weekends Annual Hallowe'en party at Kris and Bridget's...lots of fun, and some great costumes! Best of the night was Kris and Bridget: she was a birthday girl with balloons, party hat and a little dress. She carried a bat and Kris was her pinata! His costume took her days to make...it was great! Another couple did the little boy Falcon and his Silver balloon. there was A great Michael Jackson, and Jay was Max from Wild Things. good times.   Leanne about: scholarships what would the scholarship requirements be? can we pick those? cus that might be fun. maybe they have to win a scavenger hunt:-)   Leanne about: costumes Nice find Abby! i saw a costume online yesterday where two guys dressed up as the Dick in a Box guys. They put candy in their boxes:-) thought that was pretty good!   Leanne about: Halloween Halloween party last weekend with Nick and Brooke was vodka-tastic. another one this ssaturday with the local crew. Same costume at both. pics will be posted after saturday...too many local lurkers on bdc:-)   Leanne about: the dare devil Amazing shots Bub!!! lookin hot Sweeney:-)   Leanne about: O'Malleys...you guys back safe and sound? How was the honeymoon?!   Leanne about: footballs awesome! someone had to get some pics of Jeff Reid, right? he is such a tool! And i slept through the first half of the Bills game...best decision ever. Bills still suck, and thankfully the Jets decided to suck even more yesterday:-) that game was PAINFUL to watch.   Leanne about: random thoughts I was thinking the same thing when i was watching the preview the other day...very Pinocchio. Man wants a son...man builds a son...son goes on adventures. I think Disney should be the one getting pissed.   Leanne about: random thoughts Astro Boy has actually been around longer than Mega Man, from what i can tell. I used to watch Astro Boy cartoons when i was a kid...they were dubbed over in English...Kid Leanne thought the show was sweet. I looked it up and the character has been around since 1952.  Astro Boy Leanne about: Browns vs Bills Go Sabres!!!!    Leanne about: wedding pics   O'Malley wedding Leanne about: Love the pic Cathryn!!! what an accomplishment! Did you talk to the owners to see about reserving apartments for all of us in about 40 years?   Leanne about: ouch wes told me this morning that i "won the wedding". I JUST got to work.its 1:35. yup...my hangover carried over to this morning. What an awesome time!!! Cristen, we missed you...hope Cade is feeling better. I have some pics that i will post tonight.    Leanne about: Puff, puff, give interesting article about our parents generation picking up a certain habit...  Mom & dad? Leanne about: FU Thursday funny  FU Penguin roundtable Leanne about: Fu! I dont know if this has ever been posted...im sure it has...if it has, im sorry, but its probably worth reposting anyways cus its funny:-)  nice beard tamarin! Leanne about: laugh-tastic (i mean silly little non-porn sites ARE banned)   Leanne about: laugh-tastic interesting...SO a site with all sorts of swearing and FUCK in the title is NOT banned on my computer, but silly little non-porn links that andy posts are not? I just dont get it anymore...PS. I know the Bills are going to lose tonight, and i know it will be painful. All i can hope for is that it wont be TOO embarassing.   Leanne about: football Google it aaron:-)   Leanne about: weekend I think Evan's girlfriend Lori snapped a pic of the cake-face with her cell phone...will see if i can get a copy:-)   Leanne about: simmons I agree! I think it was especially hilarious b/c i was picturing all of you guys doing these things:-)   Leanne about: no talkie, talkie? Andy, sometimes its just fun to click on your links to see what my internet content blocker labels it as. That one is "pornography". I hope corporate keeps a list of all of the sites that are blocked on my computer, lol!    Leanne about: Got Twins? Holy crap! Congratulations!!!!   Leanne about: monday humor it comes up on my content blocker as "adult content"...sports illustrated used to be blocked as adult content, but they went in and fixed that.   Leanne about: monday humor Ditto! our new Internet COntent Blocker doesnt let me see most of Andy's links:-) At least it gives me cool stuff to look at when i get home!   Leanne about: gangstagrass ha! my coffee almost came out of my nose!!! Thats funny shit wes...probably the most truthful you have ever been on this board...so sad.   Leanne about: Here Browns fans=poop   Leanne about: Here TO add to what wes said: YAY TO POUTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay to my husband not almost killing himself on an extensionladder anymore. Yay to getting to see areas of the country i never expected to see last weekend. Road trip was way too fast, but it was awesome! If you guys want, here is a link to alot of pics. Sorry some of them suck...i took them while driving, and with a camera that takes shitty darktime pics. Dougums has much awesomer pics but he is a lazy jerk and wont upload his pics:-)  Xcountry in 74.5 hours Leanne about: Pantuso Twins! By the way Aaron..."At first i thought Bertha ate babies" might be one of the funniest things i have heard in a long time!!   Leanne about: Pantuso Twins! Schmidt, i figure at some point there will have to be some sort of official indoctrination of all of the children of all of our friends that will include "talks" on all sorts of inappropriate topics. Our children will easily be the coolest/nerdiest kids in school, just b/c of the weekends we will all make them suffer through:-)   Leanne about: Pantuso Twins! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: sad news Biggie, so sorry for you family's loss...you are all in my thoughts. Hugs()   Leanne about: And congrats to the Capanna's!! So happy for you guys!

Insanity. Good times   Leanne about: Grammar Core   Ha! Leanne about: no reservations d.donuts?! seriously?! Not Spot or Caffe aroma...both local places! This person needs a stab in the neck...with a stir stick from d.donuts:-)   Leanne about: footballs schwabls...known for best bow in area.   Leanne about: footballs we dvr'd it...probably watch it tonight. They had a huge viewing party at Pearl Street. never had beef on weck at Ulrich's...all of their other food is too good!    Leanne about: footballs If the Bill sign Mike Vick, i expect from Wes a murderous rampage AND burning Buffalo to the ground.   Leanne about: ugh I have a whole CD of study material, but its all dedicated to the last NC exam. I even have a PDF copy of the book on there. But, from what i've seen of the new NC, there is alot more info to learn...   Leanne about: Go away already!!!   I think i hate my team Leanne about: pics from the balon wedding Nope...we didnt have fun at all|   Leanne about: pics Here is a slideshow from Bridget MILLER!!! Im sure Mrs. Miller wont mind me sharing.  Balons are awesome Leanne about: creeeeaaaakk... speaking of cell phone...someone left a nokia charger in the dining room outlet. and speaking of weekend...WTF?! every cell in my body is screaming in pain right now. And wes' vulva is still swollen;-)   Leanne about: address request I'm out for the week...see you crazies in a few!

Hugs!!!!    Leanne about: hey friends COngrats Brad and Alicia, and hugs to all three of you!!!   Leanne about: pop Wasnt it 84? I remember doing the math last night when they were talking about it on the news and realizing you were only 6! Wes' uncle, whose wife took wes to that concert, called him last night to make sure he was ok, lol! Dougums is living a few blocks from where MJ's star is...i guess its been crazy since yesterday afternoon.   Leanne about: random Do you guys prefer usable or useable? Websters has both, and it doesnt necessarily come down to a British/Canadian vs American spelling either...i did research (cus the guy who did it is also canadian). Britains often prefer no E. Im correcting the spelling on a Site Plan and usEable just looks weird. Wes, i dont expect you to answer;-)   Leanne about: non-controversial rant I think what sucks is that engineering firms have a few people who are specialists in each area so most firms only have 1 or two people available for each phase of the design. Whereas architects are smarter :-) and specialize in everything. at my office we end up with a huge backlog b/c we only have one guy that can do drainage/pond work! Its no wonder that architects get pissed off at us, lol!   Leanne about: non-controversial rant do you guys ever make unrealistic promises to your clients on behalf of your engineering consultants without talking to them first?! I want to punch the architect on my project in the balls right now. He just told our client that we are about three weeks ahead of where we really are...he is making us look like a*holes in front of a big client. PUNCH!!!   Leanne about: ok, have to share Isnt Labor Day weekend also Wing Fest?! Ready for a return trip English's?   Leanne about: sports: you guys Abby, your hockey-talk is hot:-)   Leanne about: god I hate... mmmm...eels are SO tasty wrapped up with a little bit of rice and dipped in some wasabi-flavored soy sauce...i heart eels:-)   Leanne about: holiday weekend recap...... YOu're forgetting the big occurence this weekend Wes...Dougums moved to Cali...left Sunday morning at 7am and arrived in LA this morning at 5am (our time). 4 hours of sleep and over 2500 miles on his car...he is insane.   Leanne about: sexting on that link click on "International Architecture blocks" and it will take you to a whole list!   Leanne about: sexting They also have some really cool buildings in those old-school wooden block sets. So, we can hook up the toddlers in our lives that cant have to little legos.  Coliseum Leanne about: sexting I want them all!!! I heart legos!!    Leanne about: sexting Andy, you are sooooo lame! All the cool kids in middle school are doing it, why arent you?! You are going to get wedgies on the school yard at recess now.    Leanne about: afternoon funnies I know, im a little late to the game, but i didnt read these yesterday. This one cracked me up. (212): i want you now (916): you need to stop dating girls with the same name as your mother...or stop drinking so much...I don't want to see this    Leanne about: T.O in the B-lo Ugghh... T.O. was given a key to the City yesterday. What?! seriously. I dont think Jim Kelly has one, im not sure many relevent Buffalo sports heroes have on...but T.O sure does! Publicity stunt anyone?! I might vomit...  Get yer popcorn Leanne about: afternoon funnies thts awesome Cathryn! Wes' brother Shaun had a good incoherent text after his stag on saturday...nothing innappropriate, but funny b/c it was nonsense!   Leanne about: bye bye grandma Sorry for your family's loss Berg...hugs    Leanne about: hockey I hope Pitt murders the 'Canes. I will be cheering very loudly for that. For a few reasons. 1.It will make my friends happy. 2.Pens are a fun team to watch. 3.NO team from the south deserves to win the Cup EVER! and 4. To spite one of my bros bf's from high school who "loves" the Sabres, moved to Raleigh, yet he just bought a 'Canes jersey...i call shenanigans!!!   Leanne about: ridiculousity OMG...i need that book for work!! Between the construction inspectors, surveyors and civil engineers, i am running out of curse words that i get to use at work!   Leanne about: hmmm I agree...those are gorgeous pics Bub! Not to repeat whats already said, you you really do have a good eye...it always amazes me when someone is able to capture something beautiful in the most simple objects, or the most seemingly "normal" landscape or element of a building...awesome! Yes...we need to crush. i wish Wes and i had time to get out to Cleve-town or Pitt before the weddings, but we have insanity coming up in the next month...   Leanne about: Two things That game must hve been so much fun for you guys to watch! I am two weeks behind on Fringe, but i plan on catching up this weekend...I am sooo excited to watch it! We can chat next week:-)   Leanne about: Kent makes Boston news That comment was from me...apparently my home computer didnt want to acknowledge that:-)   Leanne about: footballs I think Mel Kiper looks like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets. That makes him slightly more tolerable...well, for about one second longer at least.    Leanne about: chinesse Congrats Mengs!! thats so exciting!!! And Happy Birthday Daddy Thews!   Leanne about: awesomitude Love you Abby, but shut up! (tee hee) Still a little sore over here in B-lo.   Leanne about: random thought so...i finally met my high school friend's husband that owns that place. They were in town for a few days and i met up with them yesterday. Sounds like a fun place to play.   Leanne about: random Hey Biggie...are the volleyball league(s) that you and Cathryn are in through Flanagans?   Leanne about: Cool? or Fugly? I dont know if this is rant worthy...i guess it depends on how the discussion goes...There is a house that is being built on the street that you would walk on to get from our old house to Coles. I usually like to withhold judgement until a building is complete. wait for the final details and trim. I just cant hold back on this one. Persoanaly, i think this bulding wouldn't even make the cut freshman year during our house-design project.  UB Architecture Professor Leanne about: Harolds I have this for Harold: gpola49@yahoo.com And this for Bill: wtyler@harris.com I cant vouch for their accuracy.   Leanne about: movies ditto!    Leanne about: What do you call these? wes= wrong! they are both sprinkles. jimmies?! that is just silly.   Leanne about: NCARB blows, but GBCI sucks Thanks Aaron! I will pass that on to my co-worker...who apparently isnt too concerned about it right now...i think he is just looking for fate to step in and give him a reason not to have to take it:-)   Leanne about: NCARB blows, but GBCI sucks anyone have any luck with GBCI this afternoon? My coworker is trying to register and the server is down...did you guys find a phone number or email address?   Leanne about: Funny video  Dude...its not like you won Beer Pong in Abby and Bub's attic! Leanne about: Lost Abby, i cant believe that you never got into this show...it still amazes me! This season took a serious sci-fi twist...Lost is definitely frustrating at times but as long as they dont do an "it was all a dream" ending, it will probably always be known as one of the most brilliant shows. I know alot of people who are getting into it now and watching all of the old episodes, and arent nearly as frustrated as we were, b/c they can watch all of the episdoes at once...that would have made the first few seasons SO much easier!   Leanne about: How we did not see that coming, i dont know! I have SO MANY ideas swirling around in my head right now. But, we might have an answer next week regarding Faraday's "you can't change the past" theory. or we might not:-) It depends on how that last scene pans out   Leanne about: step brothers yup, we saw it...i laughed at parts. I think absurd is the best word to describe it. I think i laughed more at the ridiculous premise than anything else. DONT see The Contract even if you are tempted...dont do it. The only thing that kept us happy at the end of the movie was by saying "well, at least it wasnt as bad as "The Last Legion" (which we had to turn off 10 minutes in it was so bad!)   Leanne about: damn new yorkers that makes no sense at all!    Leanne about: zzzzz sweet! Now we can go to Canada! I hear in Canada their police dont wear bullet proof vests, and it snows all year round:-) The following link may/may not be work appropriate:-)  This came from How I met Your Mother Leanne about: Kunz's Congrats Greg and Jamey!! So happy for you guys!!   Leanne about: dog farts Dogs are cute, and its hilarious because they dont know what they are doing, and 9 times out of 10 they scare themselves or look curiously at their ass...its funny. But dog farts can smell nasty. Mante sometimes farts when he agro-barks...Hilarious!    Leanne about: Sir Greenberg Awesome Eric! Thts pretty cool...and yes, MUCH creepier this year:-) when did your head get so lopsided?!   Leanne about: crawl   Crawl pics are here Leanne about: crawl Toner...seriously...any answer as to why you were convinced that the Joker lives in Bellevue? We were all baffled by this...   Leanne about: Crawlz woohoo!!! yay poo!   Leanne about: Another good time was watching you guys attempt to ride on the springy-animals in the playground betweent he last bar and the bonus bar...there must be a weight limit on those things! seeing you guys launch through the air and flop around in the sand was priceless!   Leanne about: Crawlz yup...Bill confirmed that he vomitted. He is glad he did, although i am sure you guys are not :-)   Leanne about: Darwin Martin House One of the reasons they did it is so you can learn about the building at the start of your tour...frees up space inside the house so you can spend more time inside the house actually looking at it instead of listening to the docent talk about the history and the relationship...which is what has been heppening before now.   you can read more about it here Leanne about: Darwin Martin House The reconstruction is 75% complete...they will be holding the grand opening of the new visitors center this week...pretty cool modern building.  check it out Leanne about: patty Sweet! I cant wait to hear all of you guys complaining tomorrow that you are too old to get pickled and questioning why you keep doing this to yourselves :-)   Leanne about: patty All of the awesome people are arriving tonight!   Leanne about: patty Its a constant debate in our house Cathryn...you never know when we will be attacked by Ninja's, Orcs, or a herd of pugs, so wes always has to be at the ready to defend me...but i also have to weigh that against the likelihood of him hurting himself in a drunken fury.   Leanne about: More T-O in the B-lo Bringing his reality show to the B-lo  woo-frickin-hoo Leanne about: crawl seriously guys...after watching wes' reaction the other night, its too early for the popcorn...think of hitler's reaction and multiply it by a milliondy   Leanne about: little debbie mmmm...I'm totally going to eat a zebra cake tonight. wes wanna split a pack halfway through the last LOTR movie?   Leanne about: How I Met your Mother She looked like that on the last show she was on...October Road. It was only on for one or two seasons.   Leanne about: crawl SWEET!!!!   Leanne about: crawl I know wes had huge boners about playing beer pong since we dont get to play it much anymore, if that helps at all in your plans. I also know that we will all be demanding at least one Permanti Bros. trip :-)   Leanne about: crawl Leanne and Wes are planning on Friday night. No idea who else is coming with us. Most likely Bill, but we dont know for sure.   Leanne about: PreFab House Thts crazy...the video of the construction is pretty cool   Leanne about: Bebe Thews WOOHOO!!! Congratulations Cristen and Thews!!! So happy for you guys! can't wait to meet Caden!   Leanne about: eww!! We have actually tried that stuff...last summer at a bar that Jess's friend works at. Tony ordered it...its NASTY!!! Thankfully its in a solid container so you dont have to see the color!!    Leanne about: Bebe Thews Good luck Cristen (and Thews too). Bring us a beautiful Bebe Thews!    Leanne about: italy Beefy asked me two weeks ago if i knew about that sandwich shop in Florence "I think it was called Noe" is what he said. I almost cried just thinking about the tasty goodness of the last Noe sandwich i had...   Leanne about: italy Piaza Cesare Beccaria is that traffic circle where we did the studio project...i know Hughes' class "worked" on it...did all of the classes? Anyways, there is a park south of that along the arno...   Leanne about: italy If you're talking about the bigger park further east, near Piazza Cesare Beccaria...then no.   Leanne about: italy are you talking about the park area where the dock/launch for the crew team was located...right near the Ponte Vecchio?..you guys used to always talk about sneaking down there. If so, yes. Wes and i took wedding pics down there.   Leanne about: snow I just talked to my parents last night and they said they were closing schools and businesses last night in Greenville, NC, in anticipation of the storm...silly Southerners!    Leanne about: random thoughts After protests from FB members, they went back to their old user information policy.   Leanne about: I'm a sappy woman... Well, this week has certainly helped put things in perspective...just wanted to send out big hugs to my second family and let you know im thinking about you all. Miss You and Love you bunches! xo   Leanne about: plan crash Not to keep bringing this up...but I just got an email from Schmidt (he is having trouble posting)...his sister went to college with one of the sisters whose house was hit. I am being reminded today what a close-knit city Buffalo is...   Leanne about: plan crash Dougums went to school with the daughters of the family whose house was hit...the one girl was home and got out. we also both went to high school with many people that live on that street and in that 'hood ...seriously fucked up.    Leanne about: black pug "Rai" for short! Thank goodness dogs are never asked how to spell their names :-) our dogs would be screwed!   Leanne about: I call 4:20 on the due date!   Leanne about: Names Good point Aaron...from personal experience, that SUCKS! Now i have to spell out my first and last names...stupid parents and husband!   Leanne about: Names Paula?   Leanne about: Names Congrats!!! thats great news!!   Leanne about: Happy Day A little something to brighten everyone's day...especially everyone in Cleveland and B-lo...awesome  Miserableness... Leanne about: St. Patty Pre-game?! its hard enough to make it through the crawl! lol   Leanne about: me Thts a great article! Love the pics that they used!   Leanne about: rendering Abby, dont make me fight you!!   Leanne about: weather All we got was snow...lots of it. It didnt stop all day yesterday. the drive to work was hellish, as was the drive home. It still amazes me that there are people in Buffalo that cant drive in the snow!!   Leanne about: silly That.was.awesome. Mante and Charles need to be best friends.   Leanne about: One that i am working on right now MAY go after LEED certification...still not sure yet. I have to talk to the developer next week. Its a HUGE office park that may have some residential...tons of wetland preservation. I have been trying to work on our guys here in the office on better Stormwater management practices but engineers are uptight tools incapable of thinking outside of the box! I want to get us in on the site portion of the LEED submittal.   Leanne about: LEED help again Here Aaron..i think Josh posted this a while ago, but i will throw it on here again since it relates to what we are talking about  credentialing Leanne about: LEED help again LEgacy AP's have until 2011 to obtain active status or we are dropped off of the Active Prof. list. So, from what i understand since i am already LEED AP, i would have to "opt in" with my $50 fee and agree to the discip. policy, then i think i have 2 years to gain experience in a project and take a multiple choice assessment (for example LEED ND specialty). is that what they consider being "active"?    Leanne about: LEED help again of course m'lady!   Leanne about: LEED help again do it now...because as far as i understand it, in order to qualify for the LEED exam in the future, you will have to prove that you have participated in a LEED project.   Leanne about: stupid ARE Wes, the answer to that would be "Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches"   Leanne about: sportsguy wes, you suck!   Leanne about: karma Those poor kids   Leanne about: Bourdain in B-lo don't know if you guys watch Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the travel channel. Well, he was in B-lo this weekend filming a segment for his "Rust belt" episode. He ended up at Ulrich's for dinner on sat. night. we tried to go for dinner (not knowing that he was there) and couldn't get near the place...  Bourdain at Ulrich's Leanne about: Another Old Man Abby, were you singing that out loud to Derek at work through your wall while you were typing it?!   Leanne about: Happy Birthday D-rok!!   Leanne about: the one i can remember Happy Birthday Hubbie! Yes, 10 years ago everyone arrived in Florence to celebrate Wes' 21st. He had the flu! WE managed to force a few beers into him at the one pub we knew about near the Duomo (name?)...I think guys from Andy's year had told us about it.    Leanne about: LEED Thanks Josh! wow...i think thats a HUGE improvement to the LEED process. Asking people to specialize in an area of LEED is important. It provides alot of focus in a growing field.   Leanne about: LEED wow! Josh, we have been having a hard time finding info about LEED 2009...where do you get these updates? esp. regarding the tiered levels?   Leanne about: LEED To be honest though, as much as i hated studying for it, and loathed the entire process and have no respect for LEED, i am glad they are doing this. I also appreciate everything that i learned...opened my eyes to alot of things. The fact that they had no standards like this is the reason that i had no respect for the program...any schmuck out of high school, or business school, or someone like me with no experience could pass the exam and essentially pretend they know how to do the work. Now its becoming more stringent.    Leanne about: LEED They are working on a LEED Neighborhood Development program Abby. If you become LEED accredited now, you are covered under all LEED programs (which i personally think is assinine). Take it now before it becomes a pain in the ass, and then when they release LEED ND and your clients are demanding it, you are a LEED AP. and yes, i do have a severe dislike of LEED.    Leanne about: speaking of skiing... anyone have work ski trips planned in Ellicottville again this year?    Leanne about: work oh great Cristen! Now our hubbies can be 12 year old boys together!!!    Leanne about: work I often fall asleep to the sounds of gunfire (Grand Theft Auto) or football echoing down our hallway.   Leanne about: work welcome to married life!   Leanne about: kent state I would just say that you graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Science (if you want to mention the first degree) and a Bachelor of Architecture. Keep it simple.   Leanne about: kent state It might have been the School of Arch and Envir. Design instead of College. and it was part of the College of Fine and Professional Arts...does that make sense?    Leanne about: kent state I think technically its the College of Architecture and Environmetal Design   Leanne about: Happy New Year Fun article. Curious though, they dont mention anything about drawing pcitures of your BM's. Would that be too much info?! Apparently most of us spending hours together in the studio/dorms has caused us to cross many boundaries that couples wont cross!   leanne about: Happy New Year Happy New Year!! Miss you guys...hugs and Kisses to everyone! Here's to more fun and exciting events in '09!!   leanne about:    Leanne about: GPD OMG! Tht was ridiculous Aaron! wow...   Leanne about: Bored 1. My couch, in pj's, cuddling the pug and watching a movie. 2. in bed. 3.skiing 4.at a cafe people watching 5. taking the pug for a nice wintery walk (assuming its not raining)   Leanne about: Bored SO jealous Aaron! I know we wont be getting that email b/c our Branch Manager already left for the day and he would be the one to send out that email...oh well.   Leanne about: Bored It definitely COULD be worse: I just got a call from my parents. they are at the grocery store right now! Its a mob scene...worst place to be on Christmas Eve, next to the mall would def be the grocery store!   Leanne about: Bored OMG...this day is moving sooooo slowly! I dont think i will be able to stay past noon. I might have to use some of my '09 vaca and leave early...arrgh!   Leanne about: Bored So...who is left out there today? i know The Englishs are making their way to Geneseo today, Lloyds to Rochester, Wes is probably still in bed (i am resisting the temptation to call him to wake him up, lol)...whats the word?   Leanne about: leaving early LOL...i just want everyone to share in my angst towards Wes:-) The hole is patched, and the insulation has been rescheduled for Jan. There is no way a ladder/scaffolding can be placed anywhere within 10' of our house. Im not even sure a truck could get down our street.    Leanne about: stupid people speaking of stupid people...wes just got an early xmas surprise...his boss unexpectedly closed the office at lunchtime, for the rest of the week!    Leanne about: Old man Happy bday Dickey! Way to get old!   Leanne about: hockey Wow, Andy...seriously, you are asking for it arent you?! poop in the pillow, poop in your winter hat, winter boots, maybe some pee in your beer. wow!   Leanne about: SNOW Josh, I hear mixed things. But, its not going to be as bad as what it has been. Should be fine by tomorrow. I think there is a storm sweeping across from Michigan that should be gone by tonight. Here is a link to the local station that usually has the best weather reporting.  weather Leanne about: SNOW Us too...we are both at work. Although, our street is hellish! A plow hasnt come through in days! Since its a narrow one way street with parking on both sides on the weekends, a plow cant fit!! HOpefully enough cars can dig out so that a plow can get through there today. I almost didnt make it out. There are a few cars that are completely buried!    Leanne about: SNOW   for once, Wes does NOT exagerate! Leanne about: SNOW Happy Winter everyone!!! blah...   Leanne about: SNOW He may be, but when i talked to him he was at Lowes, so i assume he is now at home patching the giant hole in our entry stairwell wall so that our blown-in insulation contractors can work on Monday...   Leanne about: SNOW Yeah...just got in from getting lunch...it SUCKS out there...terrible conditions. visibility sucks, roads suck, plows are MIA since they are probably on the major routes...wes' office closed down, mine has not...uggggh   Leanne about: SNOW Yeah, our local meteorologists are so terrible at predicting the extended forecast, they might as well go on tv and say "purple" or "peanuts"...Or that may be more of a sign as to how unpredictable the weather is around here.   Leanne about: SNOW Snowed a bit overnight. All of the schools closed down around here in anticipation of what we are about to get. they figure 1-2" every hour which will make it hard for plows to keep up. and its not lake effect bands, so its hitting everywhere. It started around 8am and will total 6-8" in some areas, and up to 12" in others. More to come on Sunday.   Leanne about: Name change Another NFL player changes his name to...  an 80s reference! Leanne about: footballs I am going to burn my JP Losman jersey. I hope he never finds a job in the NFL...NEVER. FUCK!!! I have so much hatred right now...and if that extension rumor is true...WTF??!! I quit too!   Leanne about: Happy! Happy Birthday Mr Engrish!   Leanne about: crazy weather The book club i joined here was boring...Book Club FAIL. So, my girlfriends and i just decided that we are going to get together once a month and NOT read a book and just drink wine and hangout. I think the idea of Book Club is good b/c it forces everyone to set a date in their busy schedules to get together...like dart night, or poker night, etc.   Leanne about: crazy weather wow! I saw the reports about the weather out your way Cathryn, and was wondering about you guys. glad everything is still ok. Nothing too crazy out here...just lots of accidents on every major road. You figure BUffalonians would know how to drive in icy conditions by now.   Leanne about: Ha! Awesome! "Work on the folding Donny! Bye Bye!"   Leanne about: music not ripped off by Coldplay PS...did anyone come across Wes' green windbreaker/jacket after the Bills/Browns tailgate debacle? it has gone missing since that weekend.   Leanne about: DSM Did not watch DSM...was at a Planning Board meeting and didnt get home until after it started. And yes, Andy's hunting store is pretty kick-ass...he even has a fridge magnet of it!  Bragging for Andy Leanne about: sharing I wrote some kick-ass letters to a board trying to convince them to choose certain intersections for a Traffic Study...exciting stuff...   Leanne about: sharing personally, i dont do any cool projects:-)   Leanne about: random House I watched last week's House episode last night...worst episode ever. Maybe the music was cool, but i think i was too annoyed to notice:-) will have to check out the site though, cus i generally like the music.   Leanne about: St John Pictures Yeah...im not jealous AT ALL! Looks like it was an awesome trip!   Leanne about: footballs And safe travels to you guys Andy...hopefully you dont get hit with lake effect...stay safe:-) and wes, thanks for not screaming and swearing about that game last night while i was trying to sleep :-)   Leanne about: footballs The Voit/Johnston clan is heading down to North Carolina to visit the 'rents. Uncle D leaves tonight and wes and i leave tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed that we dont get screwed by Tksgiving airline travel...    Leanne about: Happy Belated Brad! You dudes are old!    Leanne about: snow They already opened up a few slopes at Holiday Valley!! SOme of my co-workers are talking about skiing this weekend. We have had a few flurries in the city and northern 'burbs, but nothing that has stuck.   Leanne about: friday HAPPY BDAY BERG!! You're officially "In your 30's" now!!   Leanne about: MNF Pics...  Monday Night! Leanne about: MNF everyone make it back to Cleveland/Akron in one piece?   Leanne about: MNF We got him safely to the hotel, undamaged. And i think everyone was starting to sober up too. I just talked to wes and he, Nolde and Cyn just woke up...i hate!! 4.5 hours of sleep does not make for a very productive day at work, lol!   Leanne about: MNF according to Harold when he was in the concourse someone spilled some beer on him, so he paid them back by spilling his beer on them...right in front of a security guard. Bye bye! so he spent the last 1.5 quarters in the bed of wes' truck.   Leanne about: That should say "b/c of the way lots of fans acted"   Leanne about: i hope so! I know we got our caravan of people safely to the hotel, and into my house. beyond that, who knows! we didnt get home until 2:30....sooooooo tired. today, i am embarassed to be a Bills fan. Not so much because they lost the game in the fashion that they did, but b/c of the way lots of fans in the parking lot before and after the game. in teh stadium, i think they were pretty cool to our Borwns crew, but outside we ran into alot of a-holes. Seriously, i was embarrassed. But, despite that, the game and tailgating was alot of fun! And Harold was the only one to get kicked out!   Leanne about: MNF In the nose bleed section of the nose bleed section. there is no way you will see us. Although i think i heard the Cleveland guys say something about making a sign calling for the firing of the Browns Coach.   Leanne about: MNF Keep your fingers crossed that we have NO arrests and NO fights tonight...if yesterday was any indication of how drunk these boys are going to get, it could be an interesting event tonight!   Leanne about: Browns and stuff Thews, are YOU nesting?!   Leanne about: KoL Nope...tickets sold out too fast for us losers, and then they were $150 online. I ended up going to Portsmouth for the weekend for funtimes anyways so i couldnt have gone. My co-worker went and i have yet to ask him about it cus im afraid it was awesome.   Leanne about: Madden 09 YOu also have to pay for a special Xbox online membership...they screw you at every turn Berg. Wes is desperate for online buddies cus the douchbags (im sorry, i mean other 12 year old boys) he plays online keep having to go to bed early and ditch half way through the game.   Leanne about: Hockey masks Some of these are amazing!  Hockey masks throughout the league Leanne about: Weekend Pictures snow fell in areas of Buffalo...driving into work today i saw snow on cars coming up from the southtowns, and even some of my coworkers from the 'burbs had snow on their cars   Leanne about: HOLY TOLEDO! Those are some funny pics...good times. Wes, is that your nipple (bandaid, blue-checked shirt, recognizable nipple)?! And considering i tore someone's camera away from you at the reception as you had it stuck down your pants, i figure its highly likely...   Leanne about: hockey Sabres are 5-0-1. Bills are 5-1. Buffalo sports boner=HUGE!!!!   Leanne about: Funny Video OMG! This is terrible, but hilarious at the same time!  Worst Best Man Ever Leanne about: House Didnt watch it at all...wes was watching the game, and i was studying, so no spoilers please! thanks for the heads up though cus im sure my DVR cut it off too!   Leanne about: What I did for 5 months... (or maybe not) :-)   Leanne about: What I did for 5 months... I've heard of eating for two, but drinking for two?! mmmmmawesome!!   Leanne about: Musings anyone... Yes...one thought...GO BILLs!!! 4-0 bitches, 4-0!! Last time they were 4-0 Uncle Dougums and I barely knew that they existed and were rebelling against all things American and all things Buffalo as our parents were moving us from the Great White North to the Deep South known as Buffalo.   Leanne about: Oh Dear God! Ed McMahon desperate for money, becomes a "rapper"  MC McMahon Leanne about: umm... after my listen of Kings last week, i am def going to attempt a few more listens before i give my final judgement, but my initial feelings are...meh. Enjoyable, but kind of ballad-y. meh.   Leanne about: Hate me! I am currently listening to the new Kings album!!!!! My coworker somehow found it (maybe somone in the UK posted it online?) and its on his ipod.    Leanne about: Last house Did you guys see this?!  Lone survivor Leanne about: Hey Voit, "He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll"...oh my dear god...this is painful! "...but jesus came and found me and TOUCHED ME DOWN INSIDE" thts just wrong...   Leanne about: Happy, happy! Happy Days to everyone!   Leanne about: Footballs Berg, to throw those names around, directed at a female, whether she is a rival fan or not, and then claim that you had rights to her daughter "if it werent for being engaged" makes you a pathetic excuse for a man.   Leanne about: If you fancy a chuckle, maybe a LOL, try this... Ah Thews, Thank You for making my MOnday a little lighter with that chuckle...   Leanne about: this is good Holy Crap! did you see the Scouts picture?! Thts just plain wrong!   Leanne about: Gonna Take My Job, Bitch... Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off   Leanne about: music I saw Santogold open for Coldplay...awesome!!! I had never heard her before, except for maybe one song, and she put on a good show.   Leanne about: roofing You know what they call carrying shingles? "humping" shingles...wes used to hump shingles all summer. tee hee. Did you not enjoy humping shingles yesterday Andy?   Leanne about: good weekends? Happy Belated 30th Abby!! Did you think you were going to get away with us not metnioning it?!   Leanne about: Ahhh...memories of a semester in Florence...  African vendors, gypsy girls... Leanne about: OBX pics If you used SHutterfly, You can create an awesome website like we did (super easy), and then when Baby Thews comes along, you can keep us updated on all of his/her cuteness!! And i think if you are a member you can download photos from the site.   Leanne about: LEED NC 2.2 Did any of you guys buy the flashcards?   Leanne about: OBX pics Whatever you end up doing Thews, i would like to share in the picture love...   Leanne about: obx pics yeah, i "plan" on doing that too...but i also "planned" on doing that with our Mexico pics and all of the things we did in '07. I call them my "FAIL Albums" lol!   Leanne about: Lany LEED WOw, that link failed...lemme try something else...  B-lo hotels Leanne about: Lany LEED Thews, here is a google map link. OUr house is right near the "c" hotel. Thats just a B&B at the end of our street. Hotels E & H are right near Allentown, and i think one of those was one of the hotels for our wedding...cant remember which. one of those is probably your best bet. "G" is the Hampton, and thats a Suite hotel which was the other hotel for the wedding, and the girls stayed there after the Stag & Doe.   View Larger Map style='text-decoration:none'>B-lo hotels Leanne about: Browns in Buffalo So, i know its a few months from now, but i am trying to schedule my LEED exam...is anyone planning on coming into town that weekend as early as Friday night (Nov.14)?   Leanne about: A couple of favorite pics Abby, those are awesome! I love the one of the horse! If anyone is interested, i posted our OBX pics on our site, including action shots of Piranha Ball! This is the official introduction of this new sport to the rest of the world.  Awesometown Leanne about: vacation Luv you hun:-)   Leanne about: vacation i hate you wes...i really really hate you...i will take your half day and raise it the extra hours i have to work tonight...   Leanne about: Pics Here is a link to a site where you can find Competition Weekend pics. If you're interested, there is also a folder of all of our garden projects that have been keeping us busy  Awesome Town USA Leanne about: Hump-day Shocker HOLY WOW!!!! Congrats Cristen and Thews!!! Yay!!   Leanne about: Weekend Hi-Lite Hey, Old Man Voit, lighten up!   Leanne about: paris hilton how did i know you were going to post this today?   Leanne about: stupid head hunters Oh, come on Wes...Charlotte would be just LOVELY!! we just adore steamy hot weather, AND we would be that much closer to mom and dad...it would be mmmmawesome. I think you should seriously reconsider.   Leanne about: Competition Weekend I should be more specific..i have to lift my leg with my hand to place my foot on the clutch...so sad.    Leanne about: Competition Weekend Thanks for awesomeness this weekend! What a great time! Mante loved his veggie tales sticker from Kaelynn...i have a good pic of him sporting it! I hear you about sore legs...I literally have to lift my left leg everytime i want to move my foot onto the clutch to switch gears...its so sad to be this old and out of shape. But kickball sure was fun!   Leanne about: See you biatches tomorrow night! I'm out!!   Leanne about: Competition I must really have competition weekend on the brain! Instead of labeling a pond on a drawing "Proposed Pond" I just labeled it "Proposed Pong"!!!   Leanne about: Dublin i just talked to DOugums...he has about 1.5 days in Dublin on his own, so he is free to do whatever he wants. Being a history nerd, i am sure he will seek out the Book of Kells. Hopefully he jumps online again before he leaves! He also has a few hours in Belfast before he catches the ferry to Edinburgh, then he is off to stay with our family for a few days where my dad grew up...yes, i hate him right now!   Leanne about: such a wuss Dont feel bad. Mante LOVES camp. Seriously...he gets super pumped when we take him and completely ignores us when we drop him off and goes sprinting into the back to play. Then he sleeps for about a week when he comes home...proof that he has fun.   Leanne about: Competition Weekend wes and I are going to try to leave mid afternoon so expect us around 8-9...can you confirm Wes?   Leanne about: Competition Weekend I like the Summer Throwdown format... random teams. But i will go with whatever the organizers decide to do. And feel free to sh*t talk about the remainder of Team Buffalo for being pussies and not stepping up. Wes and i will be doing the same for the whole trip to C-bus on Friday!   Leanne about: Fun! When can i start?!  Adult gym class Leanne about: let me tell you what I recommend seeing it in IMAX though...go for complete sensory overload!   Leanne about: Student- 5, Master- 2 HA! Brad...i had forgotten about that...   Leanne about: Student- 5, Master- 2 Brother, in the interest of full-disclosure and looking at all of the evidence...you were at Hoffbrauhaus for 7 hours. We were there for 2. Wes had just turned 21...you are 27. I should hope your tolerance is higher than a 21 year-old's! If not, then we haven't taught you anything!   Leanne about: Bush Stinks! I think i would definitely vote for this!  Brilliant! Leanne about: Wanted berg...thanks for that text to Wes at midnight...you know, some people DO sleep. I almost sent you a text when i got up at 6:30 this morning.   Leanne about: Wanted Wes and I saw "Wanted" last night. Some big plot holes, but it is what it is...fun, eye candy movie. Shoot em up eye candy, car chase eye candy, visual effects eye candy. Angelina eye candy, Angelina eye candy...Fun movie overall.   Leanne about: movies Yes, yes it was...and as a female i could not help but notice her upper legs were suprisingly dimply! i got MUCH satsifaction out of that! She has dimply parts, and she is still hot. and she was not afraid to show said dimply parts...she is pretty cool.   Leanne about: Happy 30th Happy Birthday! Big Hugs!   Leanne about: No standing! Chiefs create rules for home games...this is ridiculous. actually, the funniest part of the article is some of the comments below...  Soon to come...no yelling! Leanne about: Competition Weekend I think that is the way to go Brad....Team B-lo beacame super lame over the weekend and decided they had better things to do...i hate! You never know who may show up though, so i think its best to keep it as flexible as possible.   Leanne about: Football ban Canadian Official banning NFL in Canada?  Silly Canuck! Leanne about: What is happening in this world... brother...you're alive! The Tube didnt blow up on you yet?!   Leanne about: Competition Just a thought if we do Throwdown style instead of City vs City...it would be difficult to do different-colored tshirts without knowing the teams ahead of time because we always order specific tshirt sizes. What if we did one tshirt color and then bought two different colors of sweatbands (head and/or wrist) that we can all sport to differentiate between teams. How many Pitt and Ohio participants are there?   Leanne about: Shape-shifter A proposed shape-shifting sky-scraper...seriously?!  I'm a skeptic Leanne about: If yer bored   One of my faves Leanne about: If yer bored another good time waster  Indexed Leanne about: Competition Weekend I will leave it up to Wes to speak for the level of Team that B-lo can provide. But, i definitely agree with a Two-team set-up. I am voting against flag football. I used to be one of the few female participants when we played football, but I am too old and too unwilling to die. yes, i know its flag football, but the inevitable tackle, and Leanne getting folded in half always happens. I vote kickball...that was a TON of fun when we played it at Summer Throwdown in B-lo.    Leanne about: BONERTIME!!! FEMALE BONER IS POPPED!   Leanne about: I hate London Uncle Dougums leaves for London on Friday for two months...boo...please wish him well and be sure to offer him all sorts of fun advice.   Leanne about: The News Berg...ive got news for you...the stress NEVER stops. Just ask Wes.   Leanne about: The News Yay! Congrats to the Considines!    Leanne about: hot Nice! We should probably get our A/C unit out too. We left Mante at home with two fans pointing directly at him...he looked miserable, and that was at 8am!   Leanne about: karma When we finally build our bubdotcompound in a still-to-be-determined city, we should hire Mitch just to work in our cafeteria and serve us breakfast all day and carve us kick-ass ice sculptures!!   Leanne about: Brainiacs Why am i asking? We're just sitting around being nerds and wanting to know about stuff...thts all.   Leanne about: Brainiacs Thanks boys! I think we are struggling with the science behind it. The wiki description is actually pretty good. its just the science behind the whole Geothermal heat pump that is kind of wacky.   Leanne about: Brainiacs Ok all of you LEED certified brainiacs...how does Geothermal heating work? And dont tell me "Its Magic"   Leanne about: awesome! Yes, often Don Cherry deserves a punch in the face, but i get a kick out of his clothes!  Ugggh! Leanne about: Lostophiles I think Season 4 has been the best season, and last night's episode might have ranked as one of the best...so far...lost of answers and lots of blanks filled in. But one GINORMOUS question left to answer, which will no doubt lead to tons of questions to answer in the two remaining seasons. I love the sci-fi twist that Lost has taken this Season.   Leanne about: Lostophiles We watched Lost...does anyone want/need to discuss WTF happened last night?!   Leanne about: Lostophiles Another favor from the Voits...because of a family Bridal shower that i have to go to tonight, we may not be able to watch tonight's season finale (BOO!) so please refrain from discussions. We are basically going to have to ignore ALL media until tomorrow night!   Leanne about: zzzzz Nah, nothing that exciting...he just ate something (kibble/rawhide) that was too big for his innards and plugged him up REAL good. He was in rough shape...he's still not right.   Leanne about: zzzzz The Voits and Amy Whitacre had an equally productive weekend...ummmm...maybe not! We went to THREE BBQ's and dranks copious amounts of alcohol. We were hung over alot. Oh...and Mante got a $430 trip to the emergency vet, an enema, muscle relaxers, pain killers and an opportunity to shit allover Wes' chest...good times!   Leanne about: because I Dont even attempt to convince wes to watch soccer...i have tried. Even his little brothers playing the sport for years couldnt bring him to do it. Its a lost cause. he will NEVER be a soccer fan.   Leanne about: Wes... And the third point...the TERRIBLE spelling and grammatical errors! Whole F*ck Wes, why didnt you tell us about your new blog?!   Leanne about: Wes... Did you start a blog without sharing it?! I point first to the name...I point second to the outright "oldman bitterness" that spews forth in the first three paragraphs of Part 1 of the blog i am linking to. (if you go to the main page you will find part 2)  The Dukes of Awesome?! Leanne about: because I I've thought about this a little bit, and i think its a totally acceptable way to end a soccer game. I agree with what wes is saying about it being strange to completely change the momentum/style of the game with a shootout. But, the way i look at it, is this...its so rare to score a goal in soccer, making it VERY exciting when they do score. So I think thats why its acceptable to end a championship game with a shootout...people get to watch their favorite palyers do what they love to watch them do...attempt to score goals...its VERY exciting. In a way its upping the momentum and intensity of the game. In hockey its not as rare to score a goal...hockey is typically a higher-scoring game, which i think is why its less acceptable to end a championship game in a shootout...   Leanne about: other people That would have been cool to see! My parents missed the celebration by a few days...they were in Florence until the end of last week!    Leanne about: Silly Thats pretty cool! There are 24,326 people named Leanne, 1,551 with the last name Voit, and noone with the name Leanne Voit! cool.   Leanne about: welcome to sexytown... It will be a decision that we make the month before...is it ok if we wait that long to let you guys know? My parents arent going to be in town, so it will just be a trip down to OBX...no stop at their place.   Leanne about: Fellow Lostophiles... yeah...he is known as "Gypsy Dave" and his band is known as "The Stump Jumpers". One of the chicks in the band plays an electric fiddle.   Leanne about: Fellow Lostophiles... Wes and I wont be watching Lost tonight b/c we are going to be groupies with Uncle Dougums, so please don't bring it up tomorrow on bdc! Thanks!   Leanne about: hockey You know who's a REAL Indians icon?! Charlie Sheen!   Leanne about: into the wild old news to the B-lo clan...the soundtrack as a whole is really good. There are a few songs on it that stand out for me, but as a whole composition, i think the soundtrack is great.   Leanne about: ugh playoff not platoff   Leanne about: ugh platoff hockey is one of the best sports experiences...handsdown!! Thats why its such a bummer to not have our team in it this year. Its just so sad to miss out on all of the fun!    Leanne about: Man Cave Now this is funny! A story that came out of that Man Cave contest that CNN held...  Cross-dressing friend! Leanne about: Said, Saeed, Sayid For once, wes is correct with his spelling. that is how they spell it on the nerd sites.   Leanne about: I want to meet Jacob i definitely think that "present" island time is around xmas 2004...remember that Desmond promised Penny that he would call her xmas 04? and he called her from the freighter xmas 04. When Desmond and Saeed are on the freighter they keep looking at a calender, and it is a 2004 calendar. I definitely think that ben knows the proper coordinates that you have to travel on in order to leave the island and travel to different times...my other theory is that he might have at one time or another been like Desmond and been able to time travel. And if i am correct, I have a funny feeling that Whitmore is his constant, since last night he told Whitmore "you know i cant kill you". Ok...my theories are done.   Leanne about: where is everyone pickles are NOT a condiment. i cant go along with that. I agree with Derek that pickles are a garnish.   Leanne about: where is everyone Poutine is the one good thing that Canadian Francophones have given us...it is mawesome!   I am drooling! Leanne about: where is everyone mmmm...poutine and fries   Leanne about: where is everyone Wes, you dissapoint...what about your all-time fave...Weber's horseradish mustard?! I personally cant live without Ketchup, and it MUST be heinz, and preferably Heinz from Canada. Yes, there IS a difference.   Leanne about: Florence My parents are going back next month (jerks!). I will have to remind them off that place   Leanne about: Florence Trattoria Anita maybe?   Leanne about: Burritos, Chimichangas, Taco Salad . . . oh my Brother...that would be a GREAT story to share with Mother...esp the part about you wearing a bulletproof vest! Im sure she would be super excited about it!   Leanne about: b-lo Yeah, Buffalonians tend to do that...leave to go to other cities to find a job.   Leanne about: awesome I would have pulled over and given him $5!   Leanne about: 4th of july Senor Hoffman found us the perfect Big Wheels. Im ALLOVER the Princess Big Wheels!  YES! Leanne about: tribe v. sox If you are referring to me...im not an Ottawa fan. yes...they are babies.   Leanne about: 4th of july Here is a question...where do we get the Big Wheels from? are they still made? Do toy stores still sell them? FOund this fun video on you tube!  Big wheels race Leanne about: 4th of july I have to agree with everything wes said, but we have alot going on this summer already, and tons of plans for work around the house, so im not sure what our schedule will look like.   Leanne about: Bored Lifestyle=Awesome?   Leanne about: Debauchery Wes met some drunk chicks at Coles last year (or was it a few years ago...years are running together!) that went to Kent and they knew Eby...in fact i think one of them "dated" him once. I think Wes even borrowed one of their phones to call him and leave him a message.   Leanne about: Debauchery I think the pic with the English's, Ebby and the Goat is one of my all-time fave Kent pics. Its a classic!!   Leanne about: Yankee Stadium Did you guys hear about this yet?!  Cursed? Leanne about: Bourdain i have eaten there once...amazing steak sandos that they cook behind the bar...yummy, but its kind of sketchy.   Leanne about: Bourdain Ted's is awesome, but its out in the 'burbs. can plan a stop next time you guys are in town. Dogs are awesome! You've never been to The Old Pink in Allentown?! Its Derek's favorite bar if i recall...its super dirty and dark...there's a velvet Elvis on the wall. I'm personally not a big fan, but its a B-lo classic   Leanne about: Bourdain And yes, i realize i spelled half of that wrong...i was just typing too fast...i'm an idiot.   Leanne about: Bourdain Id ont know if you guys watch Anthony Borudain: No Reservations, but wes and i are addicts. Turns out Buffalo is a finalist for a show where a fan gets to give him a tour.  Bourdain at Ulrich's?! Leanne about: hockeys That was funny Bub, but now i cant help but be sad whenever i see Paul Mc Cartney & Dr.McDreamy. And Ovechkin was AWESOME! What a goon!   Leanne about: hockeys I agree...Don Cherry is a horse's ass...but he still cracks me up! I heart him b/c he doesnt give a shite. He's a crazy Canadian icon.   Leanne about: hockeys I heart DOn Cherry, despite his obnoxiousness! that article is mmmawesome! get this...i actually had someone on the phone the other day ask me if i was Canadian! I guess this guy is a master at reckognizing accents and could tell what part of Canada i was from, even though i had thought my accent was loooong gone.   Leanne about: Hockey I dont even know if i will be able to watch the game tonight! Its just too much to handle...why do they do this to me?!   Leanne about: birdseye views I use that site A LOT! (see brother...a space!) the resolution on the brid's eye views is far better than google and the images are more current. i had fun looking at our house from all angles. I actually first learned about it from a group of angry residents at a Planning Board meeting that were yelling at me, showing me pictures of the lovely trees on a site...that was fun.   Leanne about: funnies Brother, did you just make that up?!   Leanne about: Oh Dear God! Can you hear the millions of shrieking 30 year old women now?!  I miss my full-sized door poster...NOT!! Leanne about: Mantacular Mancaves Some inspiration for you boys that are in the midst of dreaming of your plans for future Man Caves  Wes...start planning! Leanne about: Hindsight... Dont get too excited hun...i only did because it was a headline on the bottom of cnn, and it was kind of gossipy. Im not crossing over to the dark side by any means!   Leanne about: Hindsight... Did you guys see this? After whipping down his glove like Tanner Boyle in "Bad News Bears'' and claiming he had an "almost 100 percent'' shot to catch the most notorious foul ball in baseball history, Moises Alou is coming clean. Four and a half bitter years have passed. Steve Bartman's life is in shambles. Mark Prior is pitching in San Diego, Dusty Baker is managing in Cincinnati, Alex Gonzalez is enjoying retirement and Kerry Wood is an unpopular closer trying to avoid his 12th disabled-list trip. And suddenly, perhaps stricken by Bartman-related guilt, Alou has decided to alter his view on what really happened that surreal October night in 2003. "Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad for the kid," he told Associated Press columnist Jim Litke, who ran into Alou at a Macy's department store in New York. "You know what the funny thing is?" he continued, perhaps as he passed the leather glove department. "I wouldn't have caught it, anyway.''   Leanne about: April Fool Happy Birthday Brother!!   Leanne about: Baseballs One of my co-workers referred to me last week as a "Baseball Widow". It made me laugh alot. I only like baseball season because it means its getting warmer out.   Leanne about: Netflix Ha! Netflix just recommended a bunch of Angelina Jolie movies for me...I think Netflix can read my mind!   Leanne about: Netflix yup...i concur...terrible, terrible movie.   Leanne about: Netflix click on this link that netflix gave me...this should take you to our site...i think  Try this link Leanne about: Netflix Who uses Netflix? I was on the site today and noticed for the first time that you can link to other friends' sites and see their queues, ratings of movies and reviews...anyone interested in doing this? This way we can share awesome movies we have watched and warn eachother which ones not to see. Yet another way to use the internet to spread our awesomeness.   Leanne about: Spears on TV At least i think it was that show's preview that had that...who knows...all of these damned sitcoms look the same now!   Leanne about: Spears on TV Unhitched. the show was terrible! We were pulled in by the preview for the show b/c it had a guy licking blue cheese/wing sauce off of a baby's head...classic! But the show sucked.   Leanne about: Spears on TV I think she is just there to create this exact discussion and hopefully get more people to watch. If the show gets picked up, maybe she goes away. And if the show gets cancelled she is a convenient answer to the whole story.   Leanne about: Spears on TV Cathryn, thts exactly what i said to Wes last night about the party, and about Scrubs ending. I also heard that "Mother" is on the network bubble so they may be introducing a love interest that could possibly be "the one" in order to keep interest up. And just in case the show gets cut, they can end it quickly...(which would suck cus that show cracks me up most of the time)   Leanne about: baseballs Last night he talked about getting up at 6 this morning, but wasnt up until about 6:40. Which was impressive considering he doesnt get up until almost 8:00!    Leanne about: 401 K or Yankee Game Congrats Aaron and Lindsay!! So excited for you both! Lindsay, cant wait to see you in person so we can get the story and see the bling!   Leanne about: Good Friday Wes, Can you ask John or Sandy to call in for me and dismiss me?   Leanne about: games Imagine the subject matter if wes had his own website! I think if wes did have one he would be more clever with the name though. SOmething like. Iamonmysoapbox.com or iamawesomeyouarenot.com or iamrightyouarewrong.com or laneristhegreatest.com or jerkfaceawesomehead.com    Leanne about: Ben Thats great news!!! So happy for you guys! Can't wait to see pictures of Benjamin at home with you!!!!   Leanne about: New Skybus flights through Sept 2 I just went to book our flights for competition, and Skybus just dropped their Niagara Falls flights! BALLS!!!!  Stoopid fuel prices!!! Leanne about: Thanks Cleveland I remember running screaming out of Panini's after some couple bagan a duet to one of the Grease songs, and I didnt know which way the next bar was. WEll,I saw a girl who wasnt on the crawl pick up a green object off of the ground, saying "wow, look what someone dropped!" and once i realized it was the deflated green shamrock i knew which way to go. I think i shouted "follow that shamrock" and ran right past her with Amy right behind me!    Leanne about: holy shit Thank You bub! I will give you a high five tomorrow!   Leanne about: holy shit seriously....bub, please delete wes' comic post from Married to the sea...i cant read anything cus its too big and cutting off all of the posts...i dont know whats wrong and i have tried everything to fix the properties of my screen.   Leanne about: Lost Please...all you Lostophiles out there, as a reult of collecting the T-shirts from Kris, and working late and getting ready to crush with friends this weekend, Wes and i could not watch the pivotal episode of Lost last night. We hate ourselves for it, and ask everyone to keep Lost discussions that involve last nights episode away from our ears...Thanks!    Leanne about: holy shit Wes...your links are completely f*ing up my bubdotcom experience today, and cutting off half of my screen...not a happy camper right now! PLEASE delete at least your comic and find another way to post a link to it. then i can find out if your video is screwing up my reading pleasure too.   Leanne about: Cristen On second thought, we should get to Casa Thews between 9-10. Bill is driving to our place from Crapchester, so it all depends on his arrival at Casa Voit and when I can get out of work.    Leanne about: Cristen Wes, Bill and I will be arriving at Casa Thews Friday night! No idea what time though. TOny and Jess will also be in Cleve-Town at some point Friday as well, but i think they are staying at a HO-tel   Leanne about: oh boy And berg, you are wrong. Someone DID get "fired" for having an affair. Remember that NJ Governer a few years ago who "resigned" because he had a gay affair? You really honestly think he resigned because he chose to and that he wasnt pushed out of office? THAT was an affair, and he was essentially fired  Fired for an affair Leanne about: oh boy Here is the cnbc article. I dont know if it says in this article, but our local paper reported that the highest rated prostitute through this service goes for $5,500/hour!  This is where we live! Leanne about: Speaking of the punching the horse story! We finally got the full story from wes' cousin. Supposedly he went to pet the police horse, but the police officer told him not to. Then these two hot chicks walked up and the cop let them pet the horse. So he was pissed and decided to slap the horse! As he turned around there were three other police horses staring him in the face. Thats when he was arrested for assault of a police officer!   Leanne about: crawl Its because of the "choch" factor from downstate (aka NYC and Lawng Ayland) that go to UB. They tend to clash with eachother as well as the locals!   Leanne about: crawl Wes once saw a cop pull up in the driveway next to Coles and order a drink from the bouncer! He brought something out for him in a pint glass...i think he heard him say "Rum and Coke." Do i have that right wes?   Leanne about: weekend storm Absolutely Josh! I think you have every right to complain about them not being able to handle the snow. I was watching some of the coverage and figured i would be quite irritated if i had to live somewhere that didnt know how to handle the snow!   Leanne about: weekend storm Brother...you and your 60 degree weather suck! And your car sucks in the snow!    Leanne about: Weekend Storm OMG!! I cant beleive she called to tell you not to go to the hospital!! 1. Thats your wife and new baby, nothing should keep you away. 2. You are a born and raised WNY'er. 20" of snow shouldn't faze you!   Leanne about: weekend storm I Dont! Im not coming if i cant stomp snow, slush and mud throughout your house| Yeah, the roads sucked, but nothing would keep us from a fish fry and beers! We actually drove around more this weekend than we did last weekend when it was nice and sunny...I heart snow tires!   Leanne about: Friday Ha-ha OMG...we are all sooooo white! see #34, #37, #72 and definitly #53 and i know there are many others that i havent gotten to yet!   Leanne about: snow Buffalo is telling all employers to call Clevelanders pussies!   Leanne about: Baby Boy Lloyd (5 weeks early) Awwww...he's beautiful!! What a precious little boy! And Kaelynn looks absolutely thrilled! So happy for you guys!    Leanne about: Bathroom Renovation mishap Huh, huh...man hole...   Leanne about: Baby Boy Lloyd (5 weeks early) Congratulations Amy, Josh and Kaelynn! So happy for you guys. You are all in our thoughts! Big hugs!!!!    Leanne about: Crawl hey Thews/Berg...do we have a list of bars that goes along with our start time for people that might want to join us along the way?   Leanne about: fixer upper It would be like the mystery of the Dharma logo showing up allover the place!   Leanne about: prank That was cool! I checked out the website that they reference, and check out this one.  Mobile Desktop Leanne about: lost From what i understand, we will get some answers this season, but of course, its Lost and they may not be to the questions we want answered. And, the answers will inevitably lead to more questions. WE have gotten alot of answers...Yes, some people do get off the island. We will, by mid season know who they all are. We know what happens to alot of these survivors once they get off the island. But, of course, we have tons of questions about all of that stuff. I Heart Lost!   Leanne about: hockey - psyche!! - crawl Shana organizes a crawl every October in Allentown, and we have no problems with going into a few of the gay bars. I am sure they have problems with us though. ALthough, come to think of it...there are a few people that do the Allentown crawl with us who are gay, so maybe we are going to those bars for them...i dont know.    Leanne about: hockey - psyche!! - crawl it will all depend on how busy Kris is with work, as well as his side jobs. The guy who used to help him out with screen printing just moved out of town, so he may need more lead time than usual. wes will check with him to see.   Leanne about: hockey - psyche!! - crawl I think the sizes are more urgent than the design, cus he will need to order the shirts.   Leanne about: hockey The guys here at work, who are equally as frustrated are already calling out Miller to Detroit...that would be funny|   Leanne about: hockey Yeah, campbell and a 7th round pick for forward Steve Bernier and a first round pick. Stoopid sabres...not surprised at all...this is the way they do business.   Leanne about: baseball OH SNAP!!!   Leanne about: I agree Aaron...and it was STILL better than No Country, and it had all of the violence. We watched Shoot 'em Up last night. It was "LOL Cheesy Violent". I loved it! It got mixed reviews, but if you go into it expecting complete and utter campiness, its good! TONS of violence. In fact, thats about all the movie has. Paul Giamatti and Clive Owen are great in my opinion.   Leanne about: The Voit family watched ALOT of movies over the past week, and i will say that EVERY SINGLE one of them was better than No Country for Old Men. Even the crappy romantic comedy i watched when i was sick...No Reservations!   Leanne about: No Country for Old Men was TERRIBLE! I know the Coen brothers were trying to be ironic with the script, but they totally missed the boat with entertainment value. the first 1.5 hours of the movie was ok, and i love a movie with lots of killing, but they sure did let me down with the last half hour.   Leanne about: that is SUCK IT a phrase in the English language?! i'm all hopped-up on cold-meds...gimme a break mon frere!   Leanne about: Lost Honey, you do get pretty violent when people do stupid shit on "Flip that house"...and that happens ALOT.   Leanne about: Lost Good! Glad you read those. I agree that real people would definitely not act that way. I would pretty much flip out if put in that situation! Love your parachute analogy! Its perfect. I find it so surreal that they are all just ok with moving into The Others 'hood. I mean, real people would probably be freaking out "you mean to tell me, that the entire time i have been pissing in a hole and sleeping on the ground under leaves, there were houses and beds on this island?!" I think that would drive me to insanity...Im talking rocking back and forth in the fetal position and pulling out my hair insanity.    Leanne about: Lost no, i am pretty sure they already know where they are going with the storylines. they just need to come up with the details and the timeline of how to get there. They supposedly know exactly how its going to end.   Leanne about: Lost Brad, you should read Doc Jensen on Ew.com. he does weekly summaries of each episode, offering his twisted theories, which usually delve deep into literary nerd-dom and then each week before the next episode he gives us a "cheet-sheet" of hints or a cool interview to wet our appetite before the show. This week he interviewed the Executive Producers who offered a bit of insight into their thought process. Its Lost-crack at its best/worst! Some of his theories from last season are mind-blowing...   Leanne about: Lost Its Lost, not Law & Order...you just have to go with it.    Leanne about: rental berg, i hope you have a clause in your lease that covers the stuff you leave behind in case it gets wrecked.   Leanne about: I heart my crackberry pearl! but for "fun" stuff, i think the iphone is way-cool. Tony has one, so maybe he can give us his take.   Leanne about: today Dont know if this answers any questions  Rebate Leanne about: wedding dates A charger plate is just a decorative plate that goes underneath your dinner plate. Its a bit bigger than your dinner plate so that you can see the color of it. You dont eat off of it.   Leanne about: wedding dates yeah, wedding planning was a pain in the arse...i was so happy to be done with it!! I think the stress of it took at least 10 years off of my life.   Leanne about: birthday Thanks for the bday wishes. Being old sucks!   Leanne about: Engaged too late for that...once you are engaged, you pick up the maiden name...sorry Berg. You are now the "Posner's"   Leanne about: Engaged YOur couple name until you get married is "The Posner's"! thems the rules! The female of the engaged party gets to enjoy the over-usage of her name for as long as possible before she gives up her title.    Leanne about: Engaged COngrats Robyn and Berg! So excited for you both! Wes...i love you for asking that question, because i was just about to ask the same thing!   Leanne about: Competition Weekend lets pick a weekend so that we can all make travel arrangements, and then we can get into the rest of the more fun logistics.   Leanne about: Competition Weekend i say we combine pitt and b-lo cus neither team will be able to travel well enough.   Leanne about: Competition Weekend Wes and i will make whatever weekend work. As long as its not those two middle weekends in June when we have weddings, then we cant go.   Leanne about: Competition Weekend I saw something during the superbowl that i thought would be potentially awesome, yet potentially dangerous for Comp. weekend...A Big Wheels race! How awesome would that be! If i had my old Cabbage Patch Kids Big Wheels i would totally ride circles around you fools! I think there was a commercial showing a Big Wheels race where everyone was wearing helmets and pads, and racing down a hill...looked fun...i think some of us would kill ourselves though!   Leanne about: Competition Weekend We are also out June 14th and June 21st for weddings. I might be into Memorial Day weekend.   Leanne about: hah hah! oh yeah...and to confirm the debate, we did NOT watch Lost on vacation. We DVR'd it, and are watching it tonight!   Leanne about: hah hah! The last day was sooo muggy, and we had figured out that we could ask for double shots in our frozen drinks, so we had to drag wes and andy from the pool kicking and screaming after dark...i dont think the people eating dinner overlooking the pool appreciated their bare-assed hand stands as much as the four of us drunk idiots did!   Leanne about: hah hah! Alot of the pics are the same, but i thought i would share too!  We were soooo bored! Leanne about: Work Yes and no...I am out all next week on vaca (Cancun, here we come!!!), and then i am on a serious time crunch with the project. I have to have my draft done when i leave today, but dont need images until the week i get back. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!   Leanne about: Work Question for you Urban Designers...do you have any Cool electronic images/sketches of mixed-use buildings (Village/Main st setting) that could be used in codes that label the different elements of a facade? Cornice...transom...glazing, etc. I need to do some hand-holding in some architectural guidelines and i just dont want to re-invent the wheel. if so lvoit@gpinet.com THanks! kisses!   Leanne about: musics Brother, he actually bitches about it all the time! In fact, i think he once forbade me from talking to you because of it.   Leanne about: Kohler If my poop came out looking like that, i would be worried.   Leanne about: high as fuck oh no! WEs' dad had shingles, and it took him MONTHS to recover. It got into Dan's eye, and he was ready to cut his eye out with a knife! How bad is it? Hope Bub feels better soon! And yes, i am definitely dreaming about Margaritas and swim-up bars! Thsi week is taking forever!   Leanne about: high as fuck has the rest of the world outside of Buffalo ended? Seriously...where is everyone?   Leanne about: high as fuck OMG...i want Ketchup chips!   Leanne about: test Congrats Biggie!   Leanne about: vacation Wes and I may be interested in a long weekend portion...not sure...keep us in the loop for now. If it could be on the lower end in cost, that might make it more definite for us...with gas to drive down there, plus food and boozes that gets pretty pricey for a whole week. also, are there usually limits on the number of dogs?   Leanne about: docs No! But now i am going to look for a tiny poncho for him when we are in Mexico! Wes, i was looking for a pic of him in his sweathirt, and didnt refresh the screen for 6 minutes...   Leanne about: docs OK, so maybe wes and i should have waited for the other one to post!   Leanne about: docs Yeah, he just got that hoodie from wes' brother and his fiance for xmas...its hysterical. The hoodie is black, and the "Puglife" font is the exact same font as Tupac's thuglife tat. Its supa Ghetto. West Side Mother F*cker!   Leanne about: docs wes' sidekick is, of course, Mante, riding in a sidecar wearing goggles, a leather pilots helmet and a cape, or a white scarf...depending on his mood. If he has to go undercover he will wear his black hoodie that says "Pug Life". There is no other sidekick possible for wes...   Leanne about: docs Its annoying and insulting though that docs feel that they can walk allover an Architect who goes through anywhere from 5-forever years of schooling,plus 3-forever years of internship, plus years of exams in order to become licensed to practice as a PROFESSIONAL (which you would assume puts them on equal footing as a doc who is a professional) that gets paid a fractional ammount as compared to what an MD does. Its disgusting and pathetic. MD's and sometimes maybe lawyers (sorry brother) need to be knocked down a few notches during their schooling and their careers. Sure, Architects can be egotistical, and be put up against the worst of MDs and lawyers but the numbers of egotistical Archies hardly compare to docs or lawyers! Everytime wes comes home with stories about the way he and his boss are treated by these docs, and the way these men and women act, it pisses me off...Rant over (for now.)   Leanne about: In other news. wow! the trip looks like it was amazing! And congratulations Brad!   Leanne about: Rock God I sent him a text last night to tell him about you unlocking Sweet Child o mine. Thews, i cant beleive you have not played Guitar hero yet. When wes was rocking out allover the living room last night i couldnt help but think how much you would love the game. then i find out today that you own it and havent played it yet?! what is wrong with you?! Its the rockingest game ever! Even though i suck at it, its still way cool!   Leanne about: good laugh AWESOME Donna! Reminds me of our recent Voit/Johnston family trip to Sears Photo for mother dearest's bday gift of a family photo...good times were had by all! Right wes and Uncle Dougums?!    Leanne about: vacation lol...i guess we noticed that at the same time!    Leanne about: vacation have you noticed that all of the homes you have looked at can only be accessed by 4x4 vehicles?    Leanne about: vacation that vaca idea sounds like fun! Not sure if the Voits are in though...kind of blowing our vacation load early this year.   Leanne about: Another Birthday! Happy 30th Derek! Another Old Man to add to the list!   Leanne about: Ahhh!!! Cathryn, what an awesome idea! Margarita's at a swim-up bar, followed by a Foam Party at the Dance Club sound awfully tempting right now! Happy Birthday Hubbie!! I can't believe I am married to such an old man! Ready for your fancy dinner tonight?!   Leanne about: Skybus Just to further reiterate what Josh said, here is a short article  skybus Leanne about: still hungover. Happy New Years everyone! Congrats on the Happy Baby Boy news Amy and Josh. Thanks Pitt for a fun-filled visit. SEriously, it was so awesome to have you guys in town...when i finally woke up yesterday it was like you were never there...kind of surreal! Here are some pics from Bridget from New Years and the Ice Bowl.  New Years/Ice Bowl Leanne about: The Ice Bowl Cometh Just an update from The Buffalo News. PS...to add to the general excitement, we got Guitar Hero for xmas, so be ready to "rock out with your Cocks out" as my husband has been chanting all week!  I AM SOOOOOO PUMPED! Leanne about: Christmas Eve?! Seriously?! Whose idea was working on Christmas Eve?!...this sucks! And its only 9am!   Leanne about: hehe I'm here. Wes is home sick, otherwise he would be here too. I am here for the morning on monday. and then off until the 3rd! Boo-yah! Wes will be here the 26th-28th.   Leanne about: Venerdi Yeah, there is a section on "duties regarding children" and "duties regarding the family address'. real romantic-like when translated into English!  I though Italians were romantic! Leanne about: A Little Garvey Mike and Lisa had their second baby girl last night!  Adelaide Garvey Leanne about: weekend Im out too! See ya! Go Bills!    Leanne about: weekend Voits and Harold will leave whenever we are ready to go, which will be no later than 6:00. Tony and Jess may be driving right behind us too. Estimated arrival around 9:00   Leanne about: american gladiators Hellga is sooooooo hot|   Leanne about: buffalo bills are neat Its going to be so frickin cold too! its going to be awesomely awesome!   Leanne about: snowjob I just had to leave the office for lunch. had to sweep about 4" off of my car. Genesee was NOT fun to drive on, but side streets were ok. general Buffalo snowstorm driving. Cant wait for the drive home! I heard 6-10" in the City today.   Leanne about: Touch footballs Thanks Berg, but Mante and Uncle Dougums already have a pretty hardcore Hooker/Cocaine Party scheduled at our house for this weekend. Translation: they are studying and playing video games at our house.   Leanne about: Im out...i will watch...last time i played i almost had my back broken in half with the "crack heard round the world"   Leanne about: Hunting as one who was rasied without guns, i have always been terrified of guns, and thought that noone should have a gun in their home, under any circumstance, i just didnt see the purpose. and then i met wes and his family, and had to walk through the room in his dads house that had a case of guns. I was naively terified to do that! the guns are unloaded and the bullets are locked away. But still, i didnt know any better. i have now gotten to the point where i want to learn to handle a gun, because i cant live in fear of them anymore...its stupid. If wes and I ever have a gun in the house, i will be properly trained. I have now come around to believe in what Wes is saying. I honestly never thought i would see the day...Brother, you can disown me now.   Leanne about: For the guys "I'd make Jerky out of Wes" that might be one of the funniest things i have heard on this board in a while. Coffee almost came of out my nose!   Leanne about: I heart winter It is snowing sideways.   Leanne about: icebowl Its gonna be tons of fun at the Voit household for New Years this year! I cant wait!!!! Driving home after the game...mega OUCH!!! Ricky Williams being out for the rest of the year makes me laugh alot...at least he now has alot of spare time to get high.   Leanne about: icebowl Is it overstepping the landlord/tenant relationship if we ask our tenant if we can use his apartment, or at least his shower, knowing full well that he will be gone for New Years? I figure Yes, it is...but how can we resist when we have an entire useable bathroom downstairs and 8 stinky people upstairs?!   Leanne about: icebowl I am not sure if they are, but there is some sort of waiting list that Wes has going.   Leanne about: Dressed in Drag I found this story kinda funny  Stupid Terrorist! Leanne about: Black Friday My coworker found a way around the system. he knows of a website that releases the Black friday sales flyers early. He purchases the big ticket items the weekend before (Flat screen tv, stereo, etc) that are going to go on sale on Black Friday. He buys them the weekend before from a store that he knows will give you a refund if the items go on sale within 30 days. he then shows up at the store on Black friday, once the crowds chill out, with his receipt in hand, points out that the item is now on sale, and he gets a refund for the difference. On another note, since the Canadian dollar has been on par with, or better than the US dollar, the malls have been INSANE for the past month. The closer it gets to christmas, the worse its going to get. None of the locals will go near the malls anymore. I am only going to do my Christmas shopping online or on Elmwood Ave, right near our house...malls will be avoided at all costs...damn Canadians!   Leanne about: happy birthday Eric Happy 30th Eric!!!! And Happy early 30th to you too A-ron!!   Leanne about: Real life... Abby, the towns around here are attempting to cluster zone the shit out of the area...but i honestly dont know if their codes are worthwhile. There is a pretty big learning curve around here when it coems to that type of zoning. One thing to look into when speaking about "clusters"...there may be language restrictions written into your state law when it coems to using the term CLuster...towns have run into that around here. Email me at work and we can talk.   Leanne about: Happy Birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!! 30th to Bub, and 29th to Cathryn!!!   Leanne about: Halloweener Here are my pics! Enjoy!  PG-13 Leanne about: NFL Schedule Change   SChedule change reasons in writing Leanne about: Yeah...hail was pouring from the skies five minutes ago...now its snow...i love Buffalo!   Leanne about: tonight Oh, and i forgot my camera today, so i will try to post a link to pics tonight or tomorrow. Bub, i have a few videos too. If i send those to you, can you post those directly on the site?   Leanne about: tonight Thanks for being awemsome hosts Mountains. Everyone who didnt make it...you missed a great and super gay party! And by gay, i mean both gay and happy!   Leanne about: hehe Kirk Cameron married a girl from Clarence (where Uncle Dougums and i went to HS) and they lived in the area for a while. The girls is HS always used to stalk his house. yes, he was uber christian and crazy, but he was still Kirk Cameron and uber hot!   Leanne about: re: Pitt visits Pryber, you may have just killed my husband! he has either had a fatal heart attack, or he has run out into traffic.   Leanne about: Buffalo Why does Buffalo smell like Meat Pies? Is there any reason for this? When buffalo smells like Cheerios, or Lucky CHarms its b/c General Mills is baking a batch that day...i dont recall a Meat Pie factory moving into the B-lo!   Leanne about: Andrew Lee English . . . Mr. Opposite could be a good Halloween costume!   Leanne about: Andrew Lee English . . . Dear Brother, with your recent questions you have just proven that you are three things: 1. your Father's Son 2. training to be a lawyer and 3. A Douche Nozzle (i only call you that because its my new favourite name, and i have yet to call anyone that yet!)   Leanne about: MUSIC The Soundtrack that Eddie Veder just did...its bonerific!   Leanne about: Andrew Lee English . . . And brother, dont forget about your allegiance to the Red Sox now through your brother in law...Does the fear of being pummeled to death if you cheer for another baseball team trump all other reasons? Hey...here is one for you brother; remember when we watched our first Super Bowl? that was fun!   Leanne about: Andrew Lee English... Ditto for me and the Bills and the Sabres. I technically should have grown up both a Leafs and a Jays fan, but i wasnt into sports when i was a kid. Once i moved to Buffalo, i started to care about sports a little bit more and became a Sabres fan. Then i met Wes, and all hell broke lose in my sports world!   Leanne about: TV survey we have a 42" LCD 1080p something or other that is awesome. we just went to Circuit City and stared at the TV's, looked at the prices, narrowed it down to a few that we liked, then stared at them some more until our eyes and our brains hurt, scratched our chins, stared some more, then just picked one cus we were tired of standing there. Realistically, when standing in a store and comparing how each one looks next to the others, when it comes down to it, they will all look better once you get them home and compare them to your current tv.   Leanne about: This weekend Friday night. we will probably leave right after work, unless i can figure out how to leave earlier.   Leanne about: world series I really enjoy Dirty Sexy Money. no Berg, the show does not make Paris Hilton look normal. Because it is just pretend. its a TV show that takes all elements of super-stardom and mashes it together into one big mess. She really exists, she is a real person. She really does stupid shit like that. so no created Tv fantasy land could ever make her look normal...she is a freak.   Leanne about: home record Hey dear brother, sometimes you take risks in life. This is one of the risks you take.    Leanne about: home record YOu were also masterbating long before you met me, will be doing so long after im gone, and if you and berg decide to carry on about baseball allnight tonight, looks like you will be doing that for the rest of the time I am around too!   Leanne about: home record Dear Berg and Wes, (i hope i speak for Robyn when i write this) Please, for the sake of your your relationships, PLEASE refrain from discussing Red Sox vs Indians tonight. PLEASE do not argue about the chances of one winning and the other losing. PLEASE refrain from baseball talk PERIOD!!!! I beg of you. Love, Mrs. Voit   Leanne about: i dont get the T My guess is 2? But you know how bad my memory is! Berg, you constantly find new ways to disturb me!   Leanne about: i dont get the T As am i...   Leanne about: sports Wow...check this out...a co-worker's family friend was at home watching the game last night, flipping out when the cowboys scored the winning field goal. Dropped dead from a heart attack! The paramedics said he was dead before he hit the floor. no history of heart attacks! Wow...what a way to go!   Leanne about: Right back at ya Brother...Happy Turkey Day!   Leanne about: bills. Seriously?! WTF!! I am SOOOOOO happy hockey season starts tonight!    Leanne about: sports n stuff n music Thanks for the bench thews.    Leanne about: sports n stuff n music The reporter called him out about that too, and he denied it! What an idiot. If i were a Cleveland fan i would hate him.   Leanne about: CAD stuff anyone have a cool park bench in cad? It doesnt need to be 3d...just a 2d plan. Our Desktop has crap for blocks. if you do, can you email it to me at work? It makes conceptual site planning for a park impossible! lvoit@gpinet.com   Leanne about: I was totally going to point that out to you morons this am, but i figured your musical knowledge was superior to mine, so I must have been incorrect. I will NEVER doubt myself again!!! Brother, you have GOT to be kidding me...how does mother even KNOW that term?! Ciao suckers...i am out of here! Have good weekends!   Leanne about: Or at least somebody (greenberg!) on Wikipedia did!   Leanne about: check this shit out... YOu made that up!   Leanne about: Is that in addition to his other charges?   Leanne about: with the first overall pick of the 2008 NFL entry draft... Supposedly he needs surgery to repair it, so he will probably be out for a long time.   Leanne about: Friday Laugh-time better yet...how does one "Pretend Ice-Skating-Rink"?!   Leanne about: Friday Laugh-time Monsieur Garvey does it again! Another stellar blog entry!  I'm booooooored... Leanne about: And i agree...I think Uncle Dougums gets full credit for that, cus i know full well that he used his brain for that cus he is the hugest nerd.   Leanne about: Founding Fathers I say that if Father isnt too trashed from treating us to din-din tonight we take him on a family excursion to FOunding Fathers and feed him full of Scotch and trivia after we put Mother to bed. (Do they have scotch that is up to Father's Scottish standards?)   Leanne about: Ice Bowl So Berg, to answer your earlier question about new years, do what you want with your party at your place, but Buffalo and Pitt will NOT be in attendance. Kisses and Happy New years screams will be sent your way.   Leanne about: Ice Bowl I just tried, and i couldnt even buy 1 ticket!   Leanne about: 10 second movie review I second that. I laughed alot and i didnt fall asleep!    Leanne about: Ice Bowl If you can get the blue $60 ones towards center ice, below the green ones, those would be good too.   Leanne about: Ice Bowl No more leaks...its official. Pitt, i assume your final numbers remain at 7. Wes and i will discuss what we plan on spending on tickets and get back to you. we will probaably aim higher than the $29 tickets...Maybe the middle bowl somewhere? $60?  The Ice Bowl Cometh Leanne about: TV So, if the tickets are over $100, noone from Pitt is coming?   Leanne about: TV and, an article in the paper today pretty much said that pre-sale tickets for seasons ticket holders, and single game tickets that go on sale this saturday will NOT include the outdoor game since it has not been officially announced yet. So, we assume that once the game is announced, tickets will go onsale for some ungodly ammount   Leanne about: kent state I'm busy   Leanne about: New Year OK, i just talked to my boss who shares sabres seasons tickets with a few others in the office. They already got a mailing about their tickets for this year. His schedule lists the game at 1pm on New years day. I will talk to the guy in charge of the tickets tomorrow to see if there is a way that we can order a bunch of tickets through them. I will let you know more tomorrow. Bub, if you can figure out the numbers on your end, cus i may need to order the tickets right away. And they have to be 100% sure that they want to go.   Leanne about: rate your gayness I l;ike this one better! By the way Wes, your pug is 53% gay!  How gay is your pet? Leanne about: dumb yeah, its been allover the news. I cant even handle listening to it! Rome has been carrying on about it the last few days too.   Leanne about: Work help Question from a co-worker who is working on a preference survey for a village public workshop: "Any websites you know of that may have stock building and signage pics?" I pointed him to google image search, but i think he is looking for something more specific. Thanks   Leanne about: wow so what you're saying is...babies=diamonds?!...hmmm....   Leanne about: wow Yeah...its called jewelery...buy me some, and maybe i will be quiet more often!   Leanne about: other canadian questions No, but it should be! I actually didnt even see Strange Brew until i moved to Buffalo. I personally like the 1995 movie Canadian Bacon starring John Candy and Rhea Perlman...thts a classic!    Leanne about: other canadian questions And before any of you ask, yes, poutine tastes good and you should all try it on your fries! it is best consumed in Montreal, or in the best fast food restaurant in the world...Harveys. Any other Canadian questions?   Leanne about: other canadian questions And Tabernac pretty much means Shit, or any other swear word. My cousin, who is fluent in french says it all the time too...it cracks me up  Urban dictionary is cool Leanne about: From what i understand "Les Habitants" is in reference to farmers in "New France" this should help you guys out in reference to Hockey as well as Les Habitants.   Habs Leanne about: hockey "Habs" refer to the Montreal Canadiens. Wikipedia it and you will get an explanation for the nickname based on "Les Habitants"...whether or not its true, who knows...wikipedia says it is...   Leanne about: football Wes, I hope our kids play soccer and run track, just so you have to learn to watch/enjoy your children participating in sports that you did not participate in during high school. YOu will have no choice in the matter! And if you dont enjoy it, at least it will be fun to watch you squirm!! Im out...see some of you kids this weekend   Leanne about: this weekend sorry...THERE.   Leanne about: this weekend Havent thought that far ahead yet...how far is the wedding from Berg's? Is it close enough for a cab? Does someone need to stay sober to be the DD? is their a shuttle to a hotel at all?   Leanne about: running What leg(s) of the relay are we missing? Worst case scenario, I know of some running types around here who may be interested...one in particular who might want to visit a significant other in ohio...   Leanne about: running I will not protest too loudly if you aren't able to put together a team biggie, lol!   Leanne about: $86 per ticket to see Kent get the crap beat out of them by OSU? i think i might pass...   Leanne about: Harry Potter I have not finished yet, so i request that any further discussion of likes and dislikes end here. thanks   Leanne about: gay sex Wes, you were part of the conversation with Berg where we claimed his spare bedroom for the weekend of the Nolde nuptials   Leanne about: dilemma i back Berg up on the poop in the luggage comment. seriously...no spoilers please. I will kill!!!!   Leanne about: Garvey cracks me up   Royaltoybox Leanne about: please comment so I don Oh...dont forget about the "two girls that husband wanted to sleep with that wife refused to rent to after husband talked about them all afternoon" OR "hot chicks calling from France"   Leanne about: Rock Star Oh man!!! Poor Sweeney! Any address where we can send him stuff?    Leanne about: All out of fags and I just can If Kings of Leon ever come within 2 hours of any of you...GO SEE THEM!!!! If you dont you are a jerk!! Even if you are just a casual fan, they put on an AMAZING show! We rocked out HARD in Toronto last night!!   Leanne about: this weekend Here is a site showing the various materials that it can be made out of  materials Leanne about: this weekend Here is the wiki site...dims are in cm...sorry  Kubb Leanne about: this weekend WOuldn't it be relatively easy to make? I found most of the dimensions on wikipedia   Leanne about: Friday Will this day EVER end?!   Leanne about: hockey From what i hear he is also considering the Kitchener/Waterloo area that is a little further away from both the Toronto and Buffalo teams. Most of my family lives in the K/W area, and i know they would LOVE a team! But, i think it could cause problems for the Toronto fan base. I dont want a hamilton team, cus tht could really have an affect on hockey in this region, esp. if they force people to carry passports to cross the border. All of the toronto fans may just go see their team in Hamilton, and not come to B-lo like they do now. I am interested to see how it all pans out. That outdoor game sounds awesome!   Leanne about: Stoopid celebs I know noone other than Berg cars about Paris Hilton, but i have to point this out...this really irritates me...  She should do her time Leanne about: Brunt Good call sweeney...and a little research showed me that you can have alcohol in the parks with a permit.   Leanne about: Brunt Becky stated that "shorts and flip-flops are fine" I heard that there are sand volleyball courts, horseshoes and I think a baseball diamond...so there is a chance for some outdoor activity.    Leanne about: Stoopid cats!! His meow sure sounds like he smokes about a pack a day! I wish we could imitate it for you...its hilarious! I have never heard a cat sound like that before!   Leanne about: Stoopid cats!! Any of you cat owners out there know of a way to keep cats away from an area? We have a local cat that is using our nice garden as a litter box. Short of killing the stupid thing, i am not sure what to do. I found a few remedies online, but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.   Leanne about: Loooong weekend! Yeah, yeah...so i got a little ahead of myself...   Leanne about: Loooong weekend! Biggie...do you need a map?   Leanne about: Loooong weekend! So, does anybody NOT have the day or 1/2 the day off today? Wes is probably still asleep after going out all night with Tony...i hate!!!   Leanne about: silly pugs OMG...i think half of my lunch just came out of my nose! Love this line. "Oh, who am I kidding? They're just so cute!" she added. "I love their adorable snorting and their funny little waddle. We're going to call our next one Lopez." And did you check out the slideshow?! "Some veterinary scientists and animal physiologists do not consider Osvaldo Pugliese a pug, but a large goiter."    Leanne about: New Digs CONGRATS!!! The house looks great!! That Theater room is amazing!!   Leanne about: what summer album are you most excited about? Hey, at least you dont have to drive to Toronto to see them! Thts going to be our only chance...on a weeknight!!! I cant wait!!   Leanne about: the coolest thing eva that Tony didn No kidding about crazy info! One of Tool's songs that is in German and sounds super weird and super psycho is just a German recipe for hash brownies repeated...gotta love useless info!   Leanne about: the coolest thing eva that Tony didn omg omg omg!!!! I just found two segments on Tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BONERIFIC!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: the coolest thing eva that Tony didn Yet another reason why "All things are better in Canada". Seriously...this is awesome! I am listening to "Alt-Rocks Top 10 Female Fronted Bands"....good stuff!   Leanne about: Sabres Our injuries havent exactly affected us in the post season like they did last year. All of our scratches are healthy scratches. This series it looks like the sabres just gave up. There were some moments where they looked like a bunch of high school kids playing against grown-ups...nauseating. But, you are right...we should just enjoy it while it lasts!   Leanne about: Sabres I am soooo nervous for tonights game i might vomit. Ugggh..PLEASE HOCKEY GODS, smile down on us tonight!!!   Leanne about: LETS DO IT!! As Mike Garvey so eloquently put it "Desperate times call for Cliche movie references"  Thank You sir may i have another Leanne about: suicidal I HATE!!!!! B-lo needs more Hip dates!   Leanne about: suicidal Hip concert?! Where?!   Leanne about: Sabres fans are awesome (or is that crazy?)   Pic of baby in cup Leanne about: Sabres fans are awesome (or is that crazy?) A letter on Espn.com Hi John, I started watching hockey when I was 19 and used to visit my future husband at Clarkson. I got hooked sitting behind the net in the first row, seeing Craig Conroy and having his whole family cheer him on. I progressed into a die-hard Sabres fan during the 1999 cup run. I have had my share of heartbreak. This year is different though. We had our first child on Feb. 2. She was due on Jan. 27. We called her Teppo, not knowing the sex, but having her due on Jan. 27, which was also my birthday, and it being Teppo's number, it just felt right. Teppo scored on Feb. 3, we say in honor of Natalie, since it is not a frequent occurrence. On Friday, April 20, we had the privilege of a semiprivate meeting with the Stanley Cup. They let us place Natalie in the Cup, again a rare occurrence. That night, the Sabres beat the Islanders at home for the first home series clincher in many years. It's all falling into place and we like to think it's in part for Natalie. The year she was born has to be the year the Sabres win the Cup. Here is a picture of Natalie in the Cup. It's a memory we will keep forever and can't wait to share it with her. Jennifer Grand Island, N.Y. http://espn.go.com/photo/2007/0508/nhl_natcup_195.jpg    Leanne about: xenophopic morons This weekend i am totally going to collect all of the poppy canadian quarters that i can and start "slipping" them to unsuspecting 'Mericans.   Leanne about: xenophopic morons I heard that...it makes me laugh! As i reach for my Canadian passport i can honestly say "Dumb Americans!"   Leanne about: good news / bad news I was kind of hoping this show would let me out of its grip next year...three more seasons?! ouch.   Leanne about: hockey We can sit here and complain about the "no Goal" all we want to, but the fact is, if the Sabres showed up for the first two periods, then we wouldnt have to stress over one call. I REALLY hope they decide to play on Friday night...   Leanne about: KSU   Command to Shoot heard on tape Leanne about: Lists Wes, have you gotten all of your soap-boxing out of the way for the weekend!? Cus that sure would be nice!   Leanne about: Lists The distrust comes in because i know that people can skew numbers to say what they want. I am not saying that i distrust this study in particular, I am just saying that i dont put much weight on what these type of studies are trying to say. You can question EVERY study done based on their sample size, the questions that were asked, the factors that are analyzed. YOur post just proves that. In no way i am saying that i dont think pitt should be up with DC as places to move to. I think its a great list showing that a city like Pitt can be compared to DC. My point is that this study is good because of what it means to the city of Pitt. (On a side note...I have the exact same questions and distrust no matter what city is at the top of any list. Even if its buffalo.) I dont think we are disagreeing about the results of the study...tht discussion is over. Pitt is at the top of the study...GREAT! Pitt is a great City! Wes and i are questioning the methods...tht is all.    Leanne about: Lists Statistics are ridiculous. If there is one thing that i took from my several statistics classes in grad school...you can make any survey, and poll, any numbers say anything you want them to say. I look at all of these "lists" with a high level of distrust. What i think is great about these lists is that they are taking a city like Pitt, where most people may not consider moving to, and putting it in the same category with DC and other cities that are the first cities people want to move to. Its a great marketing tool for Pitt, and will start to open people's eyes.   Leanne about: GO SABRES Video of our County Exec. partaking in the spoils from his bet with the Nassau County Exec. on the Sabres/Islanders series. Nice!  Bloomberg is scared!! Leanne about: hey wes Thews actually shortened it to "C's, D's" a few weekends ago.   Leanne about: hey wes Its from that Urban Dictionary website. It means "whatever". You know, whether they are C cups or D cups, they are big boobs, so it doesnt really matter..."whatever"   C cups D cups Leanne about: sports Correct me if i am wrong baseball fans, but was it the first time 4 hr's in a row were hit off of the same pitcher? The explanation(s) during the game were rather confusing   Leanne about: Wishes IS IT TIME TO GO HOME YET AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER?! I cant take staring at this computer screen anymore today!   Leanne about: Music Thanks Mr. English!   Leanne about: Music Does anyone have the latest Modest Mouse on hand? I forgot to download it last time it was posted.   Leanne about: 420 Happy Bday Thewsy!! Hope you celebrate in style!   Leanne about: Official Big wet kisses for Thews!! Congrats!   Leanne about: lost is eating at my brain Josh, you have no idea how in depth wes has gotten with this show! there are several "secret" websites one of which involves a corporation that they have discussed briefly on the show, and there are sometimes commercials for this made-up corporation during the commercial breaks!    Leanne about: Power drill the yippee bog - with the dude piston and during a few scenes of the gilmore girls last night they kept saying "squeezing my lemons" and "his salty nuts"!    Leanne about: Power drill the yippee bog - with the dude piston They actually used the term "Squish Mitten" on House last night!! I had to rewind it three times to be sure!   Leanne about: Andy, saw this on SLate under the title "When Geezers Become Gamers" - Older people are turning to video games. One company's data show nearly half its players are over 50; another company says people in this age group account for over 40 percent of the time on its gaming site. Retirement communities and cruise lines are installing gaming systems. Theories: 1) Old folks are getting over their fear of video games. 2) They're trying to sharpen their wits and stave off dementia. 3) They're using online games to socialize, like old-fashioned cards or dominoes. 4) They're becoming addicted, like kids. 5) They have too much free time on their hands, like kids. Supportive view: As your body deteriorates, it's easier to play video tennis than the real thing. Cynical view: As you play video tennis instead of the real thing, your body deteriorates.    Leanne about: Playoffs I may be wrong, but very few of the big networks (espn) wanted to take a chance on the NHL, esp. after their one year "break" and rule changes. So, local networks had to pick up the regular season games. As far as I know, NBC has been showing some of the playoff games this year.   Leanne about: Reatrd Part Duex Ha!  My Paloozahead Leanne about: question Have you tried Lowes or Home Depot?  Brick Leanne about: WEather Good news!!! i swear we are turning around if it starts to snow on the way like it usually does!! you kids have a good weekend! See some of you in a few!!   Leanne about: WEather Cleveland, PLEASE tell me it is NOT snowing there!   Leanne about: Lollapalooza Pearl jam, TV on the Radio, G. Love, LCD Soundsystem...Wes, your boner hit the screen yet?!   Leanne about: Sabres Rock So, the brilliant minds behind the Sabres decided that they wanted to put together a video for the opening of the playoffs. They have been pimping this video for days. It was done to a Goo Goo Dolls song whose words suit this year perfectly. Last night we were gathered around the tv in anticpation of a great pump-you-up video; Loud guitars, fights, RIck Genneret screaming, sabres fist-pumping, drunk fans..and the attached link is what we got. Needless to say, slightly disappointed even though the video is well done. It did NOT pump us up...it kind of depressed us a bit.  Is this a GM commercial? Leanne about: Buf/Stillers BY Stillers fans, not BE Stillers fans!!   Leanne about: Buf/Stillers maybe our best bet will be to just invite ourselves to Casa Mountain that weekend and hit a bar. That way we can still be harassed be STillers fans and drink beer without paying $100+ a seat.   Leanne about: football schedule Seriously, did they make the schedule with all of us in mind?! Thts ridunkulous!   Leanne about: site update I dont understand why you need a gmail account. wes and i have a Google calendar, and all you have to do is tell it which people/email addresses you want to share it with, and make sure you set it up to allow them to make changes. Is the gmail just because you have it linked to the site?   Leanne about: An additional idea: I just found really cheap flights from B-lo to Boston thru Jet Blue. $200 Total, for two people, round trip. Peops could drive to B-lo and we could fly to Boston.   Leanne about: Should we just start an email chain of those interested in going? it might be easier.   Leanne about: FYI; It takes us about 7-8 hours to get from B-lo to Boston/Casa English. and i think its another 4+/- hours from Casa English to the house in ME...Andy can you confirm that?    Leanne about: I had originally thought that we could meet in Buffalo on Friday night, leave for Boston/English house on sat. morning and then use Sunday to drive up to the house in ME. It would be a great way to break up the drive. If we choose to stay in Boston for a few days, we could arrive Sat. afternoon, go to the game (if possible) and then hang out until we leave for the House on Monday. Just some thoughts!   Leanne about: Not sure yet...found super cheap flights from B-lo to Boston. We are flexible, cus we wont be bringing Mr. P.   Leanne about: Thanks Thews! Brody is adorable, and those St. Pats pics are great! I love how the bluriness increases as the night goes on!   Leanne about: Work I have a request; Has anybody ever worked on Overlay districts and/or creating Architectural Guidelines for a Village or a city neighborhood? We are making our first venture into that type of work, and are looking for as many resources/examples as we can find. If anyone can help me out, can you email me at lvoit@gpinet.com? Thanks bunches!   Leanne about: Any pics of your new addition yet?? I am dying to see pics (even though i will meet yer dag next weekend). Does yer dag have a name?   Leanne about: Husband...I dont like you today.   Leanne about: Time waster   Cubidor Leanne about: Obviously they control your mind...   Leanne about: I wore my old Pearl Jam T-shirt to bed last night! I love putting that thing on (actually, i own multiple Pearl Jam shirts!), its so comfy and allows me to reminisce of the days of my flannel shirt(S), big jeans and pink hair!!!   Leanne about: Sweet! The place looks awesome! Is it fully furnished? I am so excited for Blueberry pancakes and shopping for guns, booze and wedding dresses at the general store!!   Leanne about: Once we settle on a date, we can start discussions about a possible jaunt in Boston for a few days, and then a caravan up to ME. THis is going to be fun!!    Leanne about: I am pretty sure we dont have anything going on any of those weeks...will double check with hubbie. I think the 4th of July weekend is my fave option b/c of having to take one less vaca day. But, I am flexible, and will go with the majority here. Would we get the entire week?    Leanne about: Woah Result of an all-nighter gone wrong? This is terrible, but seriously, how many times have any of us felt like snapping like this...OE anyone?!  I said we should do the model in Museum board, NOT basswood!!!! Leanne about: I am sure Brody could make quick work (once he is bigger!) of herding the Three Musketeers...Duncan, Coop, and Mr. Ugly. Tela though, he might have a hard time with!   Leanne about: New Dag?! sweet!! Tell us more! You may have done this already, but if you have windows, try using the scanner and camera wizard in Accessories. That should recognize your camera...at least thats how i get mine to work.    Leanne about: Speaking of ego Article about LeBron's new house...a Limestone bas-relief sculpture of his own head?!  Over the top Leanne about: Buh Bye McGahee An opinion article in The Buffalo News.  Good riddance! Leanne about: I Heart Buffalo!   Go Sabres! Leanne about: St. Pats Anymore pics from St. Pats? I know i wasnt the only one with a camera!   Leanne about: I read that yesterday! I feel bad for the mother trying to figure out what to do, but i think its hilarious that little kids sometimes just hump anything in sight...kind of like my husband!   Leanne about: Beer - is - Awesome!   32 uses for beer Leanne about: Manu Chao is playing in Toronto on a thurs. in June!   Leanne about: We would be allover that! But, its on a Tuesday...so is the Toronto show!! I hate!!!   Leanne about: Blouse Bunnies is def. my fave! It doesnt hint at small, or large mammaries...it works for ALL types!   Leanne about: Or "Blouse Bunnies". Obviously, it is completely random since when i entered my name a second time it had new results. But, regardless, it has some REALLY funny names for boobs!   Leanne about: Mine are "Silk and Satin"!!!   Leanne about: I think one of my fave memories from Sat. night was at Boneyard (i think!) when Thews decided to dance on the table. Everyone else was dancing, having a good time, when suddenly everything just ground to a halt as Thews started to pull on the electric conduit attached to the ceiling (see pics), and all of the architects screamed, in unison, "Thews...Nooooooooo!"   Leanne about: Pics OK, i posted a zip file of pictures. Its in the pictures folder. Let me know if you have problems with the file   Leanne about: I have pics from this weekend to upload...what music can come off?   Leanne about: St. Pat's hey, I seem to have left my voice lying dead on the streets of Cleveland. If anyone comes across it, please let me know!! Thanks Thews' for your hospitality, and kudos to Cleve-town for hosting a great St.Pats!!   Leanne about: hey kids, im outta here shortly for the drive to cleveland!! See most of you suckers tonight or tomorrow!!    Leanne about: Cool! If need me to bring it, let me know by 4:30. By the way, is it time to go home and start the weekend yet?!   Leanne about: Lol! Good point Cristen...we can just re-name your house this weekend from Casa Thews to Casa Smelly Ass! Definitely have to have Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patty's!! If you guys need an extra crock pot, let me know and i can bring mine.   Leanne about: Cristen, and all those staying at the Thews residence; I dont think i have to remind you of Wes' amazing (in a bad way) gassiness, and feeding him cabbage will only add to that! He does love his cabbage though, and of course, i try to promote my hubbies happiness!!   Leanne about: Anyone else look at the forecast for Saturday?! ouch!   Leanne about: Yeah, a map would be super helpful, esp. since the bars arent all on the same street.    Leanne about: IS IT FRIDAY YET??!!    Leanne about: headlines Seriously...two headlines right next to eachother on cnn.com • Cops: Dad stabs baby, throws him from car • Girl finds missing dog's head on doorstep Two questions; What is this world coming to? and doesnt the media have better things to focus on? (of course they dont!)   Leanne about: Crazy Girl I STILL cant stop laughing at that story! Seriously, I am glad i wasnt there, cus i might have punched her and freaked out a bit, but the whole occurence is hilarious! I cant wait for you to talk to the tenants about this one!   Leanne about: Nothing like getting a phone call from your husband that starts with, "so there was this drunk chick in the apartment this morning". Good times! I am soooo happy that i made a TON of noise this am as i was getting ready, esp since this chick was party to me being woken up at 2am and 4am! I am glad that she woke up and got totally freaked out by being in our apartment and seeing hubbie in his under-roos...serves her right!! Gotta love having tenants!   Leanne about: Congrats Donna!!! and Thews too!   Leanne about: Thts ridiculous! Seriously?! So Americans only drive in the daylight, therefore with more daylight, more gas will get used...that makes so much sense!!! Morons!   Leanne about: Awesomeness Drop everything you are doing, and go see 300 on IMAX!!   Leanne about: We are seeing 300 tomorrow afternoon on IMAX...its going to be intense!! HOpefully our brains dont explode from the awesomeness!   Leanne about: 6th graders?! Seriously, this is scary!  sex ed anyone? Leanne about: Why we love dags Cute and cheesy article for all of us cute and cheesy dag owners (or wannabe owners!)  woof! Leanne about: Good Riddance McGahee!   Leanne about: Nice! Granny needs to write a cook book; "The Joy of Cooking...with Cannabis"  Stoner! Leanne about: Voits are there both nights...wes and i are assuming that Bill and Harold will also stay at Chez Thewsie. I think the rest of B-lo are getting Ho-tels   Leanne about: VERY turgid...i cant wait to see it! I hope we can get tickets to IMAX...tht would be AWESOME!!!!! Wes, you know you are married to an anti-Seinfeld person, right? Maybe the fact that i like movies like 300 and shows like Family Guy and The Office make up for that?   Leanne about: This is going to be chick comment...but...I honestly wasnt that into the show until they expanded the relationship story lines. The mini-political statements that they were always trying to make just didnt have much resonance since they were trying to deal with so much in one show. The relationships and the back-and-forth between certain characters has made it more interesting lately.   Leanne about: From what i read today, BD is getting pretty bad ratings. Their premiere show did really well, as most premieres do, but i think the ratings plumeted after that. The ratings are supposedly a few points lower than Studio 60, so who knows what will happen.   Leanne about: Give it 20 minutes, and when the song is still in your head, THEN tell me you are still laughing!   Leanne about: Wes and i are addicted to that show! My co-worker has burned all of the episodes for us...we are almost done with season 2. There are rumors that Season 3 may not happen. The show is unlike anything i have ever seen!   Leanne about: I can have Uncle Dougums, Law Student Extraordinaire look into the whole thing to get some more details. I am really curious now how this whole thing works. And i agree...Abby and Bub, do whatever you guys feel comfortable with...    Leanne about: zzzz Is it Friday yet?   Leanne about: Crawl Weekend Voits will definitely arrive Friday night. Not sure who will be with us though.   Leanne about: ARe you freaking kidding me!?! SOme quick calculations, and gas in Ontario, within one hour of Buffalo is going for around $3.17/gallon.   Leanne about: ARe you freaking kidding me!?! Thts insane!! On a similar note... My dad has been up in the Toronto area for the past week doing some consulting. He told me that most gas staions are shutting down b/c of gas shortages! My cousin's were also telling me that gas prices up there change, depending on the time of day...varying by as much as $0.15/gallon (conversion to gallons and USD already done) overnight! Gas is super expensive first thing in the morning, and super cheap at 10:00 at night...thts ridiculous! It makes our expensive gas, and smaller increases seem minor!  No gas for Canadians! Leanne about: Oscars Did you guys see the Will Farrell/Jack Black performance last night?!  COmedian's at the Oscars Leanne about: new music your dick, or the music?   Leanne about: best hockey game ever. Whts pathetic on the part of the Sens, is that as Peters, is punching the crap out of the Sens goalie, NOONE comes to his defense! You better beleive that if a goon from another team was punching Biron or Miller the entire Sabres bench would clear! Awesome...I LOVE HOCKEY!!! Not only because of teh fight tht occured, but because of the passion that the players showed and the amazing game that surrounded the fight.   Leanne about: best hockey game ever. I will back up Wes...unbelieveable! we were in the middle of dinner with my mom, all of us dropped our forks and ran to the TV. My brother and i started jumping up and down clapping and screaming "goalie fight! goalie fight!" It was AMAAAAAZING!! i am going to watch that clip now to relive it!   Leanne about: fullfilling promises... Hot Chip is good...just download it and enjoy!   Leanne about: lost Did you notice that one of David Hume's contemporaries, as listed in the first few paragraphs of the wiki article is JOHN LOCKE? this show is too much!   Leanne about: Are you kidding me?! Honestly, i really didnt listen to the whole thing...i will go back and do that. I jsut saw what a crackpot the first guy seemed, and didnt move beyond that...i suck.   Leanne about: Are you kidding me?! THis idea absolutely disgusts me!  No kids=no marriage Leanne about: weather Well hun, i dont think i am leaving early, and i am without a cell phone today, so if i am not home by 6:00, send out the Rescue Pug.   Leanne about: weather I was just on weather.com, checking out the winter storm warnings in Pitt and B-lo. THis describes the differences. Under Pits's snow storm warning it ended with "TRAVEL THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING IS DISCOURAGED" under Buffalo's where its expected we will get up to 2' it just says "TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS". Anyways, as you guys head home at some point today, drive safe!!   Leanne about: weather yeah, i have my fingers crossed that the storm hits us AFTER i get home. They figure it will start here around 5:00.   Leanne about: Wow! Not sure if that link works.  try this Leanne about: Wow! Happy V-day, honey, now sign these divorce papers!  Anti-Cupid Leanne about: weather So, pretty standard stuff around here.   Leanne about: weather WE are getting nowhere near the amount of snow that they are getting North of Syracuse. In the city we have about 1' on the ground. In Ski Country, south of us, I think they average 6"-12" of snow every few days. The storm that is heading this way should dump around 1' of snow in the City between this evening and tomorrow night.   Leanne about: excuse me whilst i vent Unless you're an Architect...then your professionalism and expertise are constantly questioned, and noone is willing to pay that kind of money for an Architect to design a building that won't fall down and kill people.   Leanne about: beer And that can be taken as either a vote, or a decision   Leanne about: beer Cleveland   Leanne about: tough ass pen WOW!!! Thts ridiculous! what a fight! So, to save me from searching espn...was he ok? Did any additional punishment occur after the game?   Leanne about: Bitchin I look at it as a money-saving option! Think of how expensive stadium/arena beers are now! And, its the perfect way to do yard work/house work without having to worry about where you should put your beer.   Leanne about: crazy   The Death of a "Star"! Leanne about: Wes Wow honey, you suck!!!! Your talents are fading...i thought you felt "disturbances in the force" when fave bands released cd's?! We can always go back for the sale, cus i came up with one more that i may need to get!   Leanne about: Danger Mouse I know hun...just out of curiosity, is he on any of the SIX albums you just bought at lunch?! Seriously...you have a problem, lol!   Leanne about: Danger Mouse THought some of you might like this article/interview with Danger Mouse  Crazy Leanne about: diehard Thts riduculous! One of our friends wives is expecting, and we were watching the game with him. he was joking during the game that he was going to try to convince her to let him name their baby after the MVP of the Super Bowl. Now, he is neither a Bears of a Colts fan...he is just goofy. We had a great time all game coming up with possible names for his baby...it got a little ridiculous! Anyways, when Peyton was announced the MVP he shouted "DAMNIT I HATE PEYTON!!"   Leanne about: Smokers So, our office is a one story building. There is a front door, and a back door which leads out to the back parking lot...makes sense! Anyways, there are quite a few men in our office who smoke. They are too lazy to put their coats on to smoke in the back lot, where they are required to smoke, so they smoke in the back entry lock/lobby, which wouldn't even be considered a small room. The smoke emanates into the office, making it stink! THis really pisses me off! If its too cold out to smoke outside, then maybe you dont smoke, or maybe you bundle up in tons of layers and go outside. or better yet, go smoke in your car! And yes, i have talked to them about this...   Leanne about: Happy Laner Day! THanks! Getting old SUCKS!!!   Leanne about: Benefits Firm: Engineering, Construction Inspection 800+ employees nationally, 42 in local office. Reimbursement for Professional Exam fees: Yes . Access to studyguides: Not sure. Paid time off to take exam: Yes. Bonus after passing: Not sure. Reimbursement for LEED exam fees: N/A. Professional licensing/Professional organization dues: paid. Personal time: 5, to be paid for unused hours at end of year . Vacation: 15, with carry-over. Life Insurance - 100% company supplemented. Short-term disability: Yes, with small employee constribution based on salary. Long-term disability: Yes. Maternity leave: Not sure...still trying to figure that out. But, i dont think NYS has extra laws beyond FMLA, and my office does not have 50 people, so it will be a reduced company policy i am sure. Percentage of health insurance paid by employer: approx. 90%. Family coverage: Yes. Do you have a deductible: have co-pays, and there may be deducitbles on some items/procedures...Independent Health FlexFit, which includes a $250 debit card for a gym membership!. Dental: Yes. Vision: Yes, as part of health Insurance. Flex Spending account: Yes. Employee Stock Options, Yes. Does your company offer part-time opportunities, job-share or the ability to work from home on a frequent basis? Not that i have seen. Hard to say. But, there has been only one woman here who was of child bearing age, and she ended up leaving after i was here for 6 months, because the part-time thing wasnt working.   Leanne about: Superbowl Ok, so this was a rather uncomfortable (yet funny!) ad...but does it really need to be pulled?!  no more snickers?! Leanne about: Full on MOTO!! The Infiniti is going to the land of over-used, much-loved cars. The Dealer gave me a good price for the infiniti, despite the 150,000 miles!   Leanne about: Full on MOTO!! No doubt there Sweeney! If i get anywhere near "off-roading", chances are its only because i have ditched my car!   Leanne about: Harry Potter? This totally creeps me out! Seriously? A play about a stableboy erotically fixated on horses?!  Harry Potter no more! Leanne about: Full on MOTO!! Me and my new ride will Zoom Zoom allover you and your awesome new bike!   Leanne about: Full on MOTO!! Never mind the link...just go to the ftp site and open up the Voitmobile file!   Leanne about: Full on MOTO!! Congrats Sweeney! Nice ride!! On the same subject, check out my new ride! If all goes well, i should have my new Maxda3 Hatchback today!  New ride Leanne about: This is cool! Check out the pics in this article!!  Storm rolls in Leanne about: St. P Speaking of which, my Infiniti has finally made it to just over 150,000 miles...in 8 years!!!    Leanne about: St. P No proposals yet.   Leanne about: Bad Video Tuesday This made me laugh. Maybe it will make you laugh, maybe not.   Shakira's Ass Leanne about: Sketch UP Help me with this wes...look at Berg's renderings. I understand your problem with most of them, HOwever, the one file "Entry2-50mm" are you ok with that one? Thts the standard dwg. that the program creates?   Leanne about: Sketch UP I agree with you Wes...fake sucks. However, being part of the engineering industry, i find sketchup very useful. Rather then pay an expensive Architect or artist to make pretty renderings for me, i can quickly do a "sketch" in Sketchup that clients would not expect from an engineering firm. I am at an eng. firm partly because i CANT sketch and cant draw what i see in my mind. I can only sketch whats in front of me. Tehrefore, SketchUP is very useful in my job. However, i would never try to pass it off as a hand sketch. Its a computer rendering, plain and simple, and should be represented as such.   Leanne about: No guns! Bart finally finds his dream job!  Job for Bart Leanne about: Sketch UP berg, how's the printing on 6.0? I just upgraded to it, but havent created anything yet. Is there inprovement over the last one, or is it still worth getting the one seat for printing purposes?   Leanne about: All-Star Festivities They said on the radio this am that around 20 first-timers were on the All-star teams...thts ridiculous. hres a question for you stat nerds out there..I wonder what the highest number of first-timers being on the allstar team is? Obviously the first allstar game doesnt count.   Leanne about: stoned slackers... Bite me...i was not of right mind this am...still a little goofy. Besides, its easiest to assume that you misspell things.   Leanne about: State of the union While flipping to the SOTU during commercials last night, i noticed something. Has anyone noticed that ALL of the women in politics, esp in DC have the SAME f'in haircut?! Maybe each has a slight variation, or different color but its the same stupid haircut! Condy, Pelosi, Clinton, randoms in the audience...all of them! If i was involved in politics, after getting elected to my term, i would die my hair purple and spike it, and maybe get many more ear piercings. I think that should be the political goal of the Bublican party...flip the political world on its head, and screw with everyone, just for fun. I hate stupid conservative mom hair-cut ladies in politics. (sorry migraine drugs just kicked in!)   Leanne about: stoned slackers... I assume you guys are talking about OPRAH. However, using OPERA in those discussions is just as funny. ESp "Fuck Opera. stupid Fat ladies" See. It still works! Oh,. and speaking of fucking things...FUCK MIGRAINES!!! Stupid headaches. Stupid doctors for not knowing how or why they happen! I hate!!!   Leanne about: stoned slackers... Speaking of...i need to bring up two shows that WEs and i came across last night. I cant even describe them. All i can say is we couldnt figure out which was more of a trainwreck; VH1's "White Rapper" or Comedy Central's "Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show". If you happen to find these shows, i highly recommend watching them for one minute (this will be difficult!) and then move on with your life, and feel better about how you live. Wow!   Leanne about: Beer! Mante is pretty pumped about this!!!  Beer for Dags! Leanne about: stupid sexy Thats my understanding too...the clock stops until the ball is sanpped. In the specific incident that Wes is talking about, the thing was, the ball was snapped after the clock had continued to run. The clock was running while they were in their stance...doesnt seem right   Leanne about: friday funny time "My end zone is where i want you to be" Priceless...hah!   Leanne about: friday funny time OMG...i think i just peed my pants!!! "I hope someday to be your wide receiver" "how i hope for yout o hit me in the slot" this Brady song is awesome!   Leanne about: do something good with your life... Wes, once again, you prove why i love you so much! Thank You for introducing me to Sports Gal...she rocks! Donut talk in a sports column?! Nice. when you finally get your "Soap Box Guy" column, can i be "Soap Box Gal"? I am already planning columns on the hotness of Angelina, my love for all things Canadian, my insane addiction to the crack-and-laxative filled Tim Horton's coffee, and an occasional sports comment!   Leanne about: do something good with your life... I personally laughed at this line: "I can't believe San Diego didn't give LDT 35-40 touches when he was running for six yards a carry and threatening to break every screen pass for a TD. Seriously, which slow white guy was beating him to the corner last Sunday -- Bruschi, Vrabel or Izzo? Every time they pitched it to him or swung a screen pass his way, my dad and I were more terrified than Willis McGahee getting the results of another paternity test." Well said Sports Guy!   Leanne about: The Hip Thews. We just got word today that there are two Tragically hip concerts planned at small venues here in Buffalo in March. they usually play arena-sized shows here. Anyways, we called right away, thinking we could get a stack of tix. Nope! They went on sale today and sold out in less than 45 minutes...nice...not happy.   Leanne about: baseball rumors Wes, shall we have a T-shirt burning party tonight? Our Nixon t's will look pretty silly at Fenway this year. Besides...i dont want you to be depressed everytime you wear your Nixon T!   Leanne about: Wet Kisses Yet another "great" Canadian invention!   Leanne about: Big Hugs to you, Brad and Alicia (i will hand out more next weekend!). SO good to hear that Alicia is doing well. My thoughts are with you guys! Love ya!   Leanne about: vacation feeler... I vote Maine!!! We Fly to Boston from our cities, arrange a meeting place, and rent a few vans to drive up north. Its a mini road-trip and summer fun vacation all wrapped up in one!!! Andy/Cathryn...how far is the site of STD 2007 from Boston?   Leanne about: traumatized Donna, that sucks!!!! GO get a beer!!   Leanne about: crawl Well, since Tony doesnt have internet, i will bring up what he was tentatively thinking. Logistics still need to be worked out (which bars & sleeping arrangements), so its just an idea to start with. B-lo has a HUGE and tons-o-fun parade on Sunday. TOny suggested tht people take off Monday, we do the crawl (maybe a more toned-down version in Allentown), get up in the morning, and continue our drunken celebration at the parade all day sunday. Its supposed to be absolutely nuts at the parade! So, its just an idea. If noone is interested in that, we will scratch it and move on to other plans.    Leanne about: crawl Wait...i didnt know we had settled on Cleveland for the crawl this year. Is this a new occurence? I know TOny was trying to plan it for B-lo.   Leanne about: name Glad you are ok Biggie!!! For a minute i was actually wondering why Biggie had Duncan in his car...then my brain started to work again, lol. Cathryn, i was deprived too!

I hate!!!   Leanne about: Bday Happy Bday Derek!!!   Leanne about: Will power! I did not personally see Derek smoke. Despite exhibiting some weak, drunken moments, i think he held strong! Happy B-day Hubbie!!! yer old!!!   Leanne about: Or This is another reason that has been mentioned  Family name Leanne about: Mr. "sensitive" Berg... He added Baker, which was his mother's last name. His mother suddenly passed away one week before his wedding. Its to honor his mother whom he was very close with, and credits with his success.    Leanne about: New years Ok, now that almost all of us are back at our desks, i want to hear New years stories! i recall drunken descriptions of a minor "fight", but what else did we miss? We had a good time here in B-lo...bottles of champagne (mostly drunken by me) and indoor attic cornhole! Hope everyone had a good holiday. Tonight wes and I are celebrating the departure of my parents with SEVERAL margaritas!!! yay holidays!   Leanne about: Ciao kiddies, see you in Cyberspace!!   Leanne about: I'm here...but only for 45 more minutes! So, Happy Holidays to everyone!! We wont be in Cleveland for New Years, so we expect LOTs of drunk dials! Have a great time, and kisses to everyone!   Leanne about: Vacation Is it Friday yet?!

A suburban Buffalo family hopes that the recent return of the baby jesus to his family will inspire the thief that stole their most prized paper mache bunny head over 10 years ago, to return it to their tree house. The family has been devastated by this loss, and are concerned about the misuse of their bunny head after seeing clips from the movie Nissassa where their bunny head stars as a mass murderer....they hope this misuse stops, and their bunny head is returned. They offer the reward of a stuffed toy bunny that was left in place of the bunny head 10 years ago.   Leanne about: Music Anyone have Snow Patrol accessible for upload?   Leanne about: That was hysterical! That will soon be one of my Saturday morning faves!!!   Leanne about: Old! Happy 20-10 you old man!!!   Leanne about: Correction That would be Brangelina my dear. Get your American cultural references correct (esp when talking about Angelina!!!)   Leanne about: movies V for Vendetta is a great movie! I will not promote it too much for fear that there will be dissapointment. Two thumbs up!   Leanne about: Beerfest Harold played a few of his fave scenes for Wes and I this weekend. We HAVE to put it on our queue now!   Leanne about: Jim's YESSSSS!!! I am in for a fattening, gooey Chicken finger sub!! Oh, I want their greasy fries too!   Leanne about: Wish List Gift idea number 1: someone please steal my car so insurance helps me with gift idea #2: A New car!!!   Leanne about: i hate people You know whats funny, i hear the exact same complaints in my office (Civil Eng firm!) about Architects not understanding grading, blah, blah blah. It takes alot to keep from screaming at them, and reminding them what my training is in, lol!    Leanne about: HAPPY FRIDAY!! Anyone else excited that it is Friday?!   Leanne about: Mornin! Since he moved out of the Death Trap that was 15 West, instead of being sick all the time he is now good for a few colds a season.He is VERY sick this time around...never seen him like this.    Leanne about: Mornin! Abby, that can be interpreted as; 1-800-282-368-266-47-275337. Wow, that took WAY too much time.   Leanne about: Mornin! How was everyone's T-day and extra long weekend (for those of us who didnt work on Friday!).   Leanne about: zzzzzzz UGGGHH...I WISH!!!   Leanne about: Musak New music is up. I had to remove TV on the Radio to make room.   Leanne about: Musak is everyone done with tv on the radio?   Leanne about: Musak someone email me with the login info please...lvoit@gpinet.com   Leanne about: Musak If anyone wants it, i can put it up...i just found the instructions.   Leanne about: Musak I am listening to Tragically Hip's new album called World Container...it's awesome! They have a song called "The lonely end of the rink"...love it! Canadian band singing about hockey rinks...perfect! If i knew how to upload, i would...maybe wes has it at work.    Leanne about: Mornin THts so great that you guys dont have to travel this week!!! We didnt go anywhere...wes has the sickness thats been going around. He feels like ga-bage. He probably wishes he were hungover. DOnt worry about not meeting up with us. Your fam is in town!   Leanne about: Mornin I am here until 2:00! I have a bad feeling that wes is at home sick. He was in ROUGH shape! Hopefully he is not too sick, and we can still make the trip to Mass. today...   Leanne about: Mornin Lucky girl! When does the fam arrive for the Thanksgiving Festivus? I remember her saying she was picking up her sister yesterday   Leanne about: Mornin Anyone out there today?    Leanne about: Bday Speaking of Bdays, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BERG!!!   Leanne about: photos Looks awesome!!!! You guys are really hauling arse on that!   Leanne about: photos people shouldnt have to sign in to view the pics through kodak...   Leanne about: photos Easier just to do it through shutterfly or the Kodak site...at least thats what i have found.   Leanne about: Thews' hey, Cristen or Thews...whats your new address? I forgot to write it down somewhere where i can find it!   Leanne about: stillers-browns D-Rok...this is crazy talk...were you in B-lo this weekend?! I dont understand!

Great movie!   Leanne about: Becareful watching at work OMG...grossest thing ever!!!! Thank God i had just finished eating my breakfast...   Leanne about: let the games begin Ciao Chicas!! See you all this evening!!   Leanne about: Music Anybody have the new Snow Patrol album?   Leanne about: OMG!!! Wes just heard from the insurance company...they are covering everything from the storm (minus our deductible) WAHOO!!!!!   Leanne about: mother of the year its kinda like all of us treating our dogs like children...if we didnt have the "kids", we would wander around this world aimlessly, in a deep depression wondering what to do with ourselves!   Leanne about: mother of the year wow...thts too cute!   Leanne about: bloody-loads I think Adam Sandler has it figured out...now if only we can get him to market it to the rest of the world! yes, I am insanely busy today and tomorrow...i think i may wear sneakers to work cus i have been running from meeting to meeting, and one end of the office to another...this is fun!!!   Leanne about: bloody-loads Seriously...i want to press the fast-forward button so I can skip past the next 1.5 days, yet all of my work will still be done.    Leanne about: the end is nigh Hell Hath frozen over!!!   Leanne about: OC I missed the first show of this season, Tony told me about it, and honestly, I think i have given up on it. Why add another TV show to my already filled repertoire this season, knowing its going to be crap.. Summer as a hippie?! seriously?   Leanne about: Kent UB It blew...thts what happened! The interceptions/fumbles on Kents part were ridiculous! They were up 14-0 at the end of the second half!! We were looking forward to watching Kent's QB, since everyone is saying good things about it...he was laughable! Pathetic, just plain pathetic...   Leanne about: game...bring it Abby, i think Wes and i, whoever is riding with us, and maybe one other car will be leaving around 3:00. There will be a car of late arrivals that wont be able to leave B-lo until 6:00+/-   Leanne about: sleeping arrangements Ditto for the Voit's.   Leanne about: political ads OMG...that guy CANT be serious...wow!   Leanne about: Kent wow, that came across in a really bitchy tone...sorry about that! It sounded more sarcastic in my head!! berg, you should come for a visit this weekend!!   Leanne about: Kent hey Prick, I realize its not technically past tense, but it was the easiest way to explain it in a few short words.   Leanne about: Kent Berg, "Loose" would be the way you are with your morals. "Lose" is what both Team Sucksburgh and Team O-H-Suck will be doing next weekend. "Loss" would be the past tense of what you will be doing next weekend. "Chalk up a LOSS for Team Ohio".   Leanne about: Kent K-S-U AWESOME!!! UB can lick wes' grundle!   Leanne about: Kent Wasnt there someone that wanted to go with us to the game? I'm in as long as im not stuck hanging out with JUST you! (JK)    Leanne about: Hockey, hey... GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: Protect your banana Thts just filthy! Gmail sure does know you well Abby!   Leanne about: Crazy McCrazy   Crazy Austrian Leanne about: Comp Weekend. berg, watch and be amazed! We just added another person this weekend! Bills are awesome! What a relief to not have to watch them this weekend (bye week). It is so nice to NOT be depressed this morning! Yesterday was one of the best football Sundays ever!!   Leanne about: website Good idea Andy! I am off to Photoshop!   Leanne about: Comp Weekend. Correction, B-lo is at a max. of 9    Leanne about: Comp Weekend. B-lo=10 participants. That is assuming noone backs out.   Leanne about: Comp Weekend. Last i checked Team Awesome will be bringing 10 players   Leanne about: Comp Weekend. ummm...so, i guess that means we should bring the belt (even though we will be taking it home with us!)...were changes going to be made to incorporate Team Sucksburgh into the belt?   Leanne about: site update YES!!!! I am cool with the login   Leanne about: Cool site Your best bet is to click on the "Surf the Big Map" link.   Leanne about: Cool site One of my co-workers came across this site. Its a World Wide Panoramic pictures site. SOme shots suck, but there are some cool ones of the Pantheon, and Piazza Signoria (Best of 2005 link).   Coolness Leanne about: musac Thanks Berg...but is there anyway you can do the whole album, and not each song?   Leanne about: One to watch for... As far as i know, it was the first Jim Henson movie that did not use real actors   Leanne about: One to watch for... PS...Wes, you're a Dooty Head!!!   Leanne about: One to watch for... Dancing puppets?! Hun...as Eric just mentioned, what about your love for the Dark Crystal? I put money on the fact that those are NOT real people in that movie. A'ron...wes and I call decorating one of your rooms entirely with legos!!    Leanne about: One to watch for... See what I deal with Abby?   Leanne about: One to watch for... Sweet! I am super pumped about this movie!  Doozers making a comeback?! Leanne about: Awesomeness WE HAVE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: sappy sappy Honey, did you take my last two "Blue & Yellow Magic pills" this am?? Cus if you did, i may need to beat you. Seriously, that was waaaaaayyyy too sappy coming from you, lol. Sweet, but it wierds me out!    Leanne about: homo-nership just got the good news from Wes...we should have power back at our house by tomorrow night! It will be so nice to be at home!   Leanne about: homo-nership I am not 100% sure as to how home warranties work, but i would assume that since you bought the house knowing what electrical system you had, that they would not cover it. But, i could be wrong. Its certainly worth looking into though.   Leanne about: homo-nership You should wait for a huge fall snow storm to rip the main line out of your wall, then find out that you have to upgrade to circuit breakers before the electric company will give you back power, and then keep your fingers crossed that insurance will pay for it. THATS the fun way to do it! HOnestly, thts not a bad price...we were originally told it would be around $1500 per panel and we have two panels. The guys we have at the house today arent charging us that much (thank goodness)!!   Leanne about: Stupid parents... Are you kidding me? Has it really come to this?! Parents need to chill out.  No more tag! Leanne about: sabres The sabres are a wonderful glimmer of hope in this otherwise painful week (including the storm, lack of power and the stupid Bills). The arena was insane last night! Would have been a fun game to go to. Go Sabres! 6-0 record!!!!   Leanne about: wedding So, anyone have pics to share of the Meng festivities?   Leanne about: Snowy fun Pics taken a few days after the storm. Clean-up had started, and much of the snow had melted. These pics show the absolute destruction of the Olmsted/Ellicott designed parkways. There are also some pics of the 'burbs towards the end  10.15.06 more fun Leanne about: Snowy fun Here are pics of our neighborhood from the day after the storm.  10.13.06 leanne about: morning! alive and well here in East Aurora! this whole situation sucks. There are no words to describe the absolute devastation in this area. I took a ton ofpics yesterday when i was in the city, and will post them shortly. we missed everyone this weekend, and were so sad to miss the wedding. Your text messages certainly allowed us to laugh, even in this crappy situation and made us miss you guys even more!   Leanne about: I live in buffalo We should really make a better effort to plan a skiing trip/weekend this year. With fewer weddings, and vacation time re-starting in January, we should be able to figure something out, right?!   Leanne about: I live in buffalo Seriously, i just had to use my snow brush to clean off my car. To quote a local radio guy, "this snow fall is stupid early!"   Leanne about: I live in buffalo On a positive note...Ski season is approaching!!!   Leanne about: I live in buffalo I confirm...no he is NOT kidding you! We often get our first substantial snow fall around Hallowe'en.   Leanne about: WAX berg will definitely be crying into his pillows tonight with ice packs allover his back! Cant wait to hear how this goes! Hope he has a few drinks beforehand.   Leanne about: meng weekend If anyone cares, or is keeping track, the Voits and the Mountains have decided to cancel their hotel reservation, and make new ones at Hotel Berg and/or Hotel Thews.   Leanne about: advice Will you let him post one of the discs, for the rest of the day only, just for those of us (me) who would like to check it out?   Leanne about: websites Congrats Bub! If i hear of anyone needing a website, i will send them your way   Leanne about: friday happy music As of right now the Voits and Mountains are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn at the airport. There is a small faction of boys who are taking the shuttle back to the hotel, then taking a cab back to berg's. If there are several groups of fun people staying at the Hilton, i Imagine the voits and mountains will keep our reservation.    Leanne about: friday happy music And by the way, when are you guys going to move out here so that i have motivated peeps to get in shape and race with?!   Leanne about: friday happy music I heart hot sweaty dudes running! Nice racing guys!   Leanne about: Meng Party Is everyone staying at the Hilton Garden Inn??    Leanne about: Meng Party Hey, i am a slacker...what hotel is everyone staying at for the Meng wedding? I know one of them offers a shuttle...   Leanne about: H-moon It definitely made it back to our room, but i was nowhere near being able to make a decision about it the next morning. In fact, i remember being on the shuttle for two days, right next to Abby, but i have no idea how we got into our room...Abby?    Leanne about: I return... Seriously?! i dont even remember talking to your dad...oh boy. I am not allowed to drink anymore, lol! I like that Abby..."our own inner Thews"! We DEFINITELY celebrated well!   Leanne about: I return... Welcome back!!! Hope the honeymoon was awesome!!! I am pretty sure i had a good time...at least thats what everyone tells me! Great Party!   Leanne about: wallet Last Christmas my brother and i spent a looong time at the store looking for a new wallet for wes. Luckily, he had told me EXACTLY what he wanted, but it was next to impossible to find!    Leanne about: ummm Good point wes...i didnt catch the source of the statistic.   Leanne about: ummm yes, Danny Wegman has a GINORMOUS house on Canandaigua Lake outside of Rochester. but, he hasnt sold it. I assume that IF he sold it, it would go for well over 1 mill. The article isnt discussing value...its discussing sales.    Leanne about: ummm That should say "Yes, thts pretty much correct"   Leanne about: ummm Nope, thts pretty much correct. There are several subdivisions that could approach the 1 million dollar mark, but not much that goes over. And yes, real estate in Western New York is affordable, compared to the vast majority of the rest of the country. too bad the taxes make housing expenses out of control.   Leanne about: ummm Here's the link to the local article. Highest price paid for a house in Buffalo history!  Nice house! Leanne about: I love the suburbs Thts been floating around our office for the last week...great blog! here are a couple of gems that we have going on right now in the B-lo burbs...Creekwood Meadows;surprisingly enough, it has a creek, meadows and woods...much of it will remain after development. Another one: I used to live in Meadowlakes Subdivision...it had a detention pond, but no meadows...interesting. Collingwood Estates; no real, saveable woods to speak of, and these Estates will be patio homes...I love this business!   Leanne about: football Nice catch...typing fast is no fun! Lets try this...OBSCENE   Leanne about: football Infrastructure costs would be ONSCENE!!! on the little projects (little compared to an entire design for a city)that we design, the infrastructure (sewers, waterlines, roads, etc) engineering and the construction are the most expensive part of teh project. Not to mention all of the potential delays and the related costs once you get to the regulatory agenices...there is no way it could happen!   Leanne about: tv shows Wasnt a big fan of the flash-back style...it slowed things down alot. It was below average for a season opener. My Expectations were high, but they were not met. ER on the other hand...that was intense!!   Leanne about: Cad question My version of CAD hates PDF's. i have to save them as jpg's to insert them.   Leanne about: terrace hall no more! Probably a good thing...bad, bad things happened in that building! Its kind of sad though! Derek, you should have requested the window that you pressed your junk up against that one night..those poor unsuspecting people!   Leanne about: I need to vent Office was awesome last night! I didnt watch it much last season, cus I couldnt deal with the awkwardness, but last night's hilarity has completely sold me on that show. "Its good to be Gay"   Leanne about: Terrible sports logos The Purple Spermies!! Wait, i mean the Vikings...   Leanne about: Terrible sports logos I like that shirt! Now if only they would make cool shirts in womens sizes. The ones that they have on their site are crap...all pink, or ugly!!! I need to call someone to bitch!!   Leanne about: Terrible sports logos Merch is tight?! Maybe, but i find this merch insulting! I can deal with the whole pink hat trend for every sports team everywhere, but THIS?! Seriously?!  Gone too far! Leanne about: Terrible sports logos wes, Why didnt you point that out to me before?! has this been talked about on WGR, cus i have never heard the abstract B and sword discussed before. I still dont like it, but the abstractness (is that a word?!) makes it a BIT cooler.   Leanne about: wedding bliss and was anyone with me when i hurt my finger? I woke up Sunday morning with one of my fingers swollen, bruised and unusable...no idea how that happened! I should never be allowed to drink wine ever again!   Leanne about: wedding bliss Wait, there was a wedding this weekend?? All i remember is wine, followed by a real foggy evening, the worlds longest shuttle ride and a TERRIBLE sunday morning...Abby, do you remember a wedding?!   Leanne about: music The little bit I have listened to Cut-Chemist as i have been up and down from my desk...I love it!! And you know what Wes, I love you, and thats why i married you!! Otherwise, i would be stuck listening to only Ani, Tool and the Goo Goo Dolls...thanks for bringing fun music to my life!   Leanne about: 'Thewsfest '06 Is it time to leave yet?! I cant believe i am clock-watching already!!    Leanne about: so gay Our Doggie Camp needs a webcam!!!   Leanne about: this weekend Hopefully leave around 4:00 and arrive at your place 3+ hours after that.   Leanne about: ipod Yeah Abby, you totally suck!    Leanne about: Shuttle Hey Brad, Let us know what you find out!   Leanne about: Events Hey Mr. and (the future) Mrs. Thews...is there a set time that the shuttle will be leaving the hotel? We dont want to miss all of the fun!   Leanne about: hello? I do have to say that Wes' "paintball" hickey is rather impressive! He should have fun explaining that one when people are staring at it! Its very rare to see an adult male with a hickey...nice guys, well done!   Leanne about: weekend drinking Wes just left the house   Leanne about: weekend drinking as far as i know, Wes is leaving as soon as he can get on the road. He is on his way home now to pack and get ready to go. He is going to Dickey's. I would expect him early evening   Leanne about: Practice makes perfect Just thought i would remind yins about this site so that you can start practicing for competition weekend  Pittsburghers are jaggy! Leanne about: bitching Ha! I like it...Tela has a Male harem! I dont know about the dogs being able to fight with Tela...they would probably be distracted by her VERY large Labia...ewww!!!!!   Leanne about: bitching I think Tela could easily win a "sleeps the most" contest...that dog can sleep!!! I would rather stab out my eyeballs than play a strategy board game...sorry   Leanne about: bitching New Event: Dog fights!! Mante for Team Buffalo, Cooper for Team Pitt, and Duncan for Team Ohio! See who wins. Or, knowing these three dogs, maybe it could just be a cuddle fight, or a "see who can stay awake the longest" fight. Unfortunately, Tela would not be permitted to play, just for the sake of sheer size, cus she would dominate! Either that, or she would try to eat our dags, thinking they are rabbits!   Leanne about: thanks Bub OMG Freeze Tag would be hysterical! I can just picture us morons running around a park, some frozen in place, others being chased. What fun! We should all get made fun of by everyone! Adults playing freeze tag...nice!   Leanne about: bitching Volleyball was a pretty successful drinking game at one our our B-lo Competitions...thts easy to practice too!   Leanne about: Coach hits boy on other team Supposedly after the guy did it, parents rushed the field, and started a brawl. The guy ended up running away and jumping the park fence before he turned himself in later. he needs to spend some time in jail AND be banned from coaching/watching youth sports once he gets out...what an ass!!   Leanne about: bitching Assuming everyone we expect shows up for Team B-lo, we should have exactly 8 people. (Schmidt are you going to be at Comp weekend?)    Leanne about: bitching The 22 points would be for Ohio...sorry, left that out   Leanne about: bitching Its fairly simple bub...add up the place of the top three finishers of each team. For ex:4+5+8=17 points for Pitt, 1+2+3=6 for Buffalo and 6+7+9=22, therefore Buffalo had the best finishers (the lowest points),so they would receive 3 points for being the "winner" of the event. Pitt would receive 2, and Ohio would receive 1. If, for wahtever reason, the point totals add up for two teams, you default to their 4th placing team, and whichever is better, wins (you can do a different type of tie breaker if you want). Of course, this is assuming both teams have enough players for 4 teams for each event. To be honest, It seems as if people are making suggestions, and they are not even being considered. You guys seem to already have this figured out, so why continue the discussion?   Leanne about: whoreness Dont worry guys, when i get home, i will beat him to a pulp with a bat while shouting the name of his client over and over again. Jerk...why does he get to go home?!   Leanne about: weekend of competition You will definitely have Wes, Leanne and Cathryn. Toner, Jay and Harold are most likely. Bill and Skevs, big maybe, and Metal no way...its probably the busiest car wash weekend of the year.   Leanne about: weekend of competition wait Wes...you have a calendar at work?! I didnt think you knew what one was!! I think the Team Bub vs Team Cathryn idea is great!   Leanne about: weekend of competition Ha! Nice Matt. although, you cant count on me as far as accents go. That pesky Canadian up-bringing makes it really difficult for me to spell, let alone speak!   Leanne about: weekend of competition The English clan is separated amongst two different teams, so why cant the Mountains be disbanded?   Leanne about: weekend of competition Thts what wes calls his Birkenstocks...   Leanne about: weekend of competition Thts a good point Abby! I switch my vote to bowling (if its too cold for kickball). Can Ultimate B even happen in cold weather? wes wouldnt be able to wear his lesbian slippers!   Leanne about: weekend of competition Volleyball (the quarters game) would be a fun event!   Leanne about: weekend of competition Flip Cup and Kick Ball (hopefully in the snow)!   Leanne about: weekend of competition Three teams brings up a question...what about potential Pittsburgh people that were drafted onto other teams?   Leanne about: Caution: High cuteness factor!  Mama Peaches Leanne about: PSA I forgot to warn you all...dont, under any circumstances watch the movie Freedomland...Its garbage. Samuel L. cant even redeem it. It is nothing like the commercials or previews. Those were just a ploy to get you to watch a movie written by some writer who cant figure out which of two causes to take up in life...   Leanne about: thews wedding extravaganza Hawthorn Suites Akron/Seville   Leanne about: Um...wow   just, wow Leanne about: indie-rock Jamiroquai Nice! thts fun! I would love to see the outtakes on this one!   Leanne about: wow... Honey, i think i may enter you in a Spelling Bee, or just send you back to middle school to take some spelling tests!   Leanne about: wow... I think its interesting...initially i think the idea sucks, but eventually it could cause competition amongst Doctors, who would have to lower their prices to attract patients. A few weeks ago i read that doctors are starting to charge a price for certain services, as opposed to going through insurance companies, they charge the patient directly. Some people are seeing a reduction in their personal medical costs, esp if they dont have to pay for insurance. SInce i am one of those people that goes to my doctor(s) ALOT, i could see a yearly fee being an ok thing. But, you still have to pay when you have to go see a specialist...a primary doctor can only do so much.   Leanne about: Cool program You can even measure the buildings...height, area, width, etc. its pretty useful. its mostly being used in southern counties where they have to deal with alot of emergency management. Basically its a supped-up Google earth with better imagery, and better tools.   Leanne about: Cool program Its a program that towns/counties/companies have to pay for. The subject area is flown and photographed, and then the purchaser has rights to do with the images whatever they want. The Multivisions people will set up the program with teh images, and whatever info is needed. Its great for emergency planning, but i can envision alot of uses in design as well. We are trying to convince some of the towns around here to buy it, but they are all too broke!   Leanne about: Cool program Check out this cool program my company has the rights to, and is going around the company marketing it. Its GIS based, but the imagery is awesome! YOu can look at an aerial, pick a parcel, and four Ortho views will appear! You can also create 3-d models of the bldgs in a matter of seconds. This could have some great uses.  Multivision Leanne about: images Does anybody know if there are online galleries of images (jpg, bmp, etc) that can be used in Photoshop. Like people, or cars, or trees that can be placed into a rendering? I keep getting calls from corporate asking me if i have a backlog of images, and i dont. They can be free sites, or not.   Leanne about: Silly NFL Names you cant use on the back of an NFL jersey  Ass Bagger Leanne about: cooper Cheese and baby carrots are mante's fave! Or, even just pieces of his food could work.   Leanne about: Death to some!! Ha, i see no RSVP's from the boys...isnt it fun thews?! you wont get a hold of toner via email, so give him a call, and if i have sweet j's email i will send it to you.   Leanne about: weekend Does this now mean that we can have dag weekends at the same time as having human fun weekends in P'burgh?! Cant wait to meet little Cooper!   Leanne about: In other news Nice Maurice...5 Mill...well done. This pic says it all!  criminals 'r' us Leanne about: Effing Berg Lets change the subject...Puppies. Puppies are cute, esp. soft fluffy ones. They kiss, they bark, and they love you unconditionally, regardless of race, religion, or political leanings...Puppies rock!   Leanne about: MIA So NOW i see where everyone has been lately...the rant board. nice!   Leanne about: go buckeyes If you have to wear a bullet proof vest while driving through C-bus, you have some serious issues!   Leanne about: No, No, NO!! Now this is just getting ridiculous. I love Mr. P and all, and we treat him like a child, but COME ON!!!  anthropomorphizing at its worst! Leanne about: everyone alive and well? Glad to hear all of you boys survived, and none of you were arrested, or badly injured...   Leanne about: Help! Nice Sweeney...you are good at this game!   Leanne about: Help! Groan Lots or Groan Alot...still pretty lame though!   Leanne about: Help! here is my first lame attempt...Cool Nuts Christina and Jason   Leanne about: What??II Wow hun, thts pretty reassuring!    Leanne about: WHAT??!! Crazy Ohioan!!! Seriously??   SICKO!!!!! Leanne about: human again Bub, Welcome back to the world of the not-so-angst ridden! Team B-lo leaves for the border at lunchtime today...wish them luck getting harold into Canada, lol!   Leanne about: annoyed Thews, if your team is so awesome, how does one of their pitchers lose 2 games, on the last pitch, to the same team 2 nights IN A ROW!!?? Ben, ben, ben...if i have to hear anymore about him, i may vomit. I am already bracing myself for the continous coverage during the season of ben's Miracle Recovery and Amazing Comeback...blah!!   Leanne about: Drive Detroit Wow, that sucks!   Leanne about: Drive Detroit SUpposedly to get into Canada they only count your DUI convictions that happened over the last 10 years...i may be wrong though. Harold, wes and Tony are making the attempt tomorrow, since its faster to get to Detroit thru Canada. Hopefully they dont get turned away!   Leanne about: Drive Detroit its only difficult if they run your id, which has been pretty rare in the past.    Leanne about: Drive Detroit If you guys DO go up to Canada, have a back-up plan, b/c those who may have a DWI or DUI in the last 10 years wont be allowed into Canada. You will be fine as long as they dont run your id.   Leanne about: Dancin Tht evolution of dance thing is great! This reminds me, Thews, have you seen the show called Pants off Dance off? Wes and i stumbled across it one night...  Sign up Thews! Leanne about: Idlewild wes, do you realize its a musical? I was just checking out the site, and it looks like a cool movie!   Leanne about: Funtimes! Oh my goodness! I think i found an event for competition weekend!!!  Pug Bowling Leanne about: hot, Its so hot that when i stepped out of my car, my glasses fogged up, and stayed fogged up until i got into our air conditioned building...   Leanne about: Blade Derek, i think your reasoning is incredibly flawed...I can personally account for (I am sure Abby can too) MANY times over the last 10 years that i have witnessed you guys drink ALOT of alcohol vs. having a few drinks. I would have to say that those of you that get hangovers, experience greater hangovers when you drink large amounts of alcohol...   Leanne about: Blade I swear by Blue Powerade...its yummy, and works well! The easiest solution for a hangover = DONT DRINK SO MUCH!! There, i said it.   Leanne about: Not sure what to say about this...   Yummy gumballs! Leanne about: new muzak Wes, new muzak ROCKED!   Leanne about: Prediction It super easy to be a Bills fan. See, since we are pessimisstic about our team to begin with, then we dont get too depressed when they suck...we bregrudgingly accept it. If they do well, its even cooler, cus its a surprise!    Leanne about: Prediction Of course not Wes, that would be "being realistic", and they ARE Browns fans...   Leanne about: race day Just some input, from my former running self. If the race is going to be in hot weather get yourself used to running in hot weather. No matter how much you condition indoors, once you get outside, its a completely different world. If you are serious about it, i would even recommend for the last few weeks trying to run at the same time of day the race would be at, unless its during the daytime when you are at work. In that case, i would be sure to run at that time for your weekend runs...just my two cents, for whatever its worth.   Leanne about: Grade 2 You guys crack me up. I gotta love the beginning of the season optimism you guys all exude, cus Bills fans are just being realistic, and not fantasizing (ala Browns fans). Plain and simple...We dont have a QB, our team will suck, we will be lucky if we win half of our games...there you go...realism at its best!   Leanne about: If yer bored The top 10 worst tech ideas  Dumb Leanne about: One of those days where... I need a constant IV drip of Tim Horton's Coffee...why dont they deliver?   Leanne about: lallapalooza And Wes, dont forget about your grumpy old-man attitude when you are in a crowd of stinky, sweaty "younguns".   Leanne about: lallapalooza Wow! I checked out the website...that line-up is incredible!   Leanne about: my new toy Wes, how many of those 11 games were decided by the mercy rule?   Leanne about: my new toy Nice ride Sweeney...Congrats! Did you get it in red, or a different color?   Leanne about: Look! OMG Becky...you may be right!   Leanne about: Look! 11th pic   Leanne about: Look! Try this  stoopid Leanne about: Look! This is bs...you have to be a member...poop. Sorry   Leanne about: Look! Look at us arseholes! This was on the buffalobarfly.com website...we are at Thursday at the Square a few weeks ago  sober or drunk? Leanne about: Bye bye!! Wes did the last load last night, and my last visit to the house was on Tuesday...i will tell you this...no tears were shed when we left! We were so ready to be out of that place!    Leanne about: Bye bye!! Wes and i are officially 100% out of the RIchmond house!! Good riddance!   Leanne about: bored Wishing it was Friday!   Leanne about: bitch-be-gone oh, sorry hun! Ihave one question...how does one "stumple" down the stairs?    Leanne about: bitch-be-gone I agree...work is not fun. Especially when i have my annual review looming over me! I get my review this afternoon...could this day go by anymore slowly?   Leanne about: is this awesome or lame? I dont know wes...it wont load for me...   Leanne about: GAMES PS...kickball in the cold could be alot of fun!!   Leanne about: GAMES Wes, what are the possibilities of B-lo fielding a travel Team? I think that should also weigh in the decision.   Leanne about: GAMES ultimate 'bee might be the best way to say it...   Leanne about: GAMES Abby, dont worry...it took me a few posts before i figured it out!   Leanne about: GAMES I like all of the options except for ultimate b...not everyone can play ultimate b. It would be a matter of people having to draft people that suck, and then those people basically sitting on the sidelines while the few who can play ultimate b are on the field. Thts why i like Kickball...its all inclusive. You guys may disagree with my reasoning, but i vote No on ultimate b. Flip cup - yes, corn hole - yes, beer pong - yes, euchre/darts - yes. You have to have at least one team game where everyone can participate...   Leanne about: slow news day Nice Bub!!   Leanne about: slow news day Hmmmm...i think i may have to dispute that one!   Leanne about: competition Hi Biggie! Is Dad ok?   Leanne about: competition Kickball!!!!   Leanne about: subject I think their gayness is obvious from the many pictures of weddings and stag parties that we have seen over the last few months!! I would honestly have a tough time picking the "Drunken Asshole" of the group!   Leanne about: PETA yeah, someone might have to be on call to present bail for either Wes or myself this weekend. I envision us getting real rowdy at the induction ceremony! Maybe to protest we will wrap ourselves in red, white and green cellophane...tht seems to be an effective method of protest. Or maybe we will jsut go with a more enjoyable form of protest...burning her in Effigy!!! ARRGGGHHHH!!!   Leanne about: PSA Nice ad campaign! I like the signs that you can download for your car or house   Leanne about: weather Here in B-lo we can handle 7 feet of snow or even torrential rains and hail...but throw in a tornado warning or small tornado and all hell breaks lose! I can think of maybe 3 times in my entire life when i have been near an area that has had a "tornado warning".    Leanne about: carlton jams Is the clock moving backwards for anyone else?!   Leanne about: undies Cristen, you rock!!! I LOVE wearing boxer briefs to bed! they dont ride up like boxers do. super comfy!    Leanne about: undies Definitely a fan of the combo meal...boxer briefs are hot!    Leanne about: undies I was just about to post this article, cus it sounds like a discussion you guys would have late at night. He makes some really good points!   Leanne about: "Kissed him like a kitten" Read this, and be disturbed  Crazy Russian! Leanne about: Seriously? I dont know if you have heard of this, but some company in the UK has invented a new type of escape-route for skyscrapers. It consists of a series of padded, spring supported chambers through which people can "bounce" their way to the bottom of the building, landing on a big cushion! There is a PDF document at the end of the link with some images...does this sound crazy to anyone else?!  Bouncy Bouncy Leanne about: Photos Great pics! It looks like yet another sober wedding! Who am i kidding?! Boy were we all trashed!   Leanne about: Interesting job So, there is a strip club down the street from work. We have been hired to design and build a wall that will run along the main road so that there is "privay" for the customers. Currently, two guys from our office are at a "job meeting" with the client to discuss the different ideas they have...riiiiiight! oh yeah, the job meeting is being held on-site, indoors!   Leanne about: pics Sweet...thanks! I dont remember much of the night, and am curious as to how it went, lol.   Leanne about: pics IS IT TIME TO GO HOME YET???!!!!!!!   Leanne about: pics Hey, did anyone gets pics at our reception?    Leanne about: sales call Andy, my coffee almost came out of my noise! Thank YOu! And if someone called to sell me Toner, i would laugh, and tell them I already have the Super-sized version down the street from me, and all he costs is an occasional beer or 12.   Leanne about: sux I predict that this will be the longest friday ever! (Except for wes who, in addition to getting a 4-day weekend gets a half day today too!) Anyone have exciting plans for this weekend? Anyone wanna help paint?!   Leanne about: ego feeding spam The spam today is the best! I like this one: I found this site and became happy!   Leanne about: Genius Thewsy Q, check your email!   Leanne about: Address Assistance Thews, send me your email address, and i will send you my wedding spreadsheet that will answer your questions.   Leanne about: crazy weird comics Shitty spoons, and I hate voting are funny.    Leanne about: crazy weird comics Nice find Abby!   Leanne about: hot girls I like that our subject is still "hot girls"   Leanne about: hot girls I can do fun photoshop pics for your site...i have a fun time with layouts and flyers...hire me! We can drink Sparks during the work day, and harass everybody on bdc   Leanne about: music Dougums, that would be cool. I cant remember the passwords, otherwise I would tell you how...anyone???    Leanne about: voited out Hello out there!!! Is everyone ok?   Leanne about: voitfest Cant wait to party!   Leanne about: voitfest 6:00, cocktails are served...dinner at 7:00!   Leanne about: voitfest Im calling it "cocktail attire". meaning guys dont have to wear a suit (unless you really want to!). Girls are smart, and can usually use their best judgement on a cute/sexy outfit for themselves   Leanne about: voitfest I'm outta here soon. You kids drive safe! See some of you tomorrow night, and the rest at the party on sat!!   Leanne about: voitfest Dickey, marcie is coming to the reception, right? I have her down as a yes...   Leanne about: A Request for Music Oh...i guess we forgot to tell you Berg...the beer bottles were sold with the house   Leanne about: A Request for Music Wait, we're moving?! Honey, i find it entertaining that your beloved CD collection, that you cant live without, is the first thing that you pack and SEAL in a box!   Leanne about: old news Cathryn, thts hilarious! What a putz!   Leanne about: crazy Abby, you are soooo right! I am so embarassed that i mixed that up. I deserve to be banned from being a Sci Fi fan forever...i totally suck...its been a loooong day!   Leanne about: crazy Biggie, what about your Chewbaca costume? you would get the both the attendees at this convention AND the Trekkies!   Leanne about: crazy Found online: 2. Furries/Plushies Public Humiliation: 99.95% Furries are people who dress like animals to have sex with each other, usually without regard for gender of their mate or the species of their costume. If that?s tough to wrap your head around, picture McGruff the Crime Dog coming to your school and humping your mascot?s leg. Plushies have a similar hobby, but instead of having sex with nerds dressed as animals, they consummate their relationships with their stuffed animals. I?m sure you?ve heard of these people; they?re the main reason the Care Bears declared war against us.  disturbing!!! Leanne about: 10 opinions If you WANT to wear a suit, go for it. However, i will not hold it against you if you do not wear one. I may talk about you behind your back, but to your face i will treat you as i normally do. No seriously, i think the invite says "cocktail attire"...AKA, nice clothes, but no suit or uber-fancy dresses necessary!   Leanne about: movie nonsense That does not surprise me at all!!! Garvey is a movie guru!   Leanne about: movie nonsense No problemo Thews...I am a moron when it comes to these things anyway, lol!   Leanne about: movie nonsense What the F are you all talking about?? Did i miss something?   Leanne about: My Space I'm not, but i think many of the local kids here in B-lo are. I dont need something else to help me procrastinate more than i already do! bdc and email work just fine!   Leanne about: Voit Party Hey, just for my curiosity, when is everyone arriving in B-Lo?   Leanne about: I Love Coffee!! Coffee may have a more positive effect than just waking me up in the morning!!  Coffee rules Leanne about: 7 wonders Biggie, no worries. The pong board has not been destroyed (yet!). We still have it on the third floor at Richmond. the new house is definitely not pong ready.   Leanne about: chiwawa I read that last week, and it almost made me sick! People are seriously f**ed up!!!   Leanne about: damn, i Nice Berg!! Congrats Brad and Alicia!!   Leanne about: Hampton Suite That should say "YOU kids"   Leanne about: Hampton Suite Hey...Wes' family has an extra suite at the Hampton for the reception. They are going to have the hotel release it to the public unless any of kids are interested. It sleeps five (as long as you request the cot) and it has alot of floor space for others. Let us know ASAP   leanne about: queer weddings I agree with you wes...I should clarify...it wasnt so much Bergs comment that made me want to vomit, it was how it reminded me of what has been going on lately in the political world. The whole thing just sucks a big fat one (no pun intended!)...I think it is a complete abuse of the American public to be throwing around this issue, just to gain some political ground, while so many other things are happening in the world. And hey, just so you guys know, I have the power to erase comments ala Bub, muhaha!!! (tht would be a strange spelling on an evil laugh!)   leanne about: blind people berg, comments like that, whether sarcastic or not, make me wanna vomit in my mouth.    leanne about: blind people wow...thts all i can say...   leanne about: A just a heads up...if anyone has not reserved rooms for our reception, they were released to the general public as of May 24th. I assume you can still get the special rate, however, there are several weddings and a few conferences going on downtown that same weekend. So, book NOW, if you havent already.   leanne about: gnarles Found this article on cnn  gnarles Leanne about: munvoit Not fair Dickey! Will I at least get a separate no Dog poo gift since i have, as of yet, done nothing to insult you?! i dont like Dog poo so much, lol. And yes, pillage the bar as much as you like!   Leanne about: voit kids nope, not at all...i just wouldnt consider you a "Big beefy lineman". Beefy, maybe, but not in a lineman kind of way.   Leanne about: NHL The NHL does not have a good TV contract, because the major networks dropped their support for hockey after the strike (by the way, did the major networks drop baseball after their strike?!). Dont blame the NHL for the networks not seeing what they have created. The big guns will come crawling back to the NHL after this season.    Leanne about: voit kids berg, you have met both of our families...do you honestly think, looking at the gene's that we carry that Wes and i will produce a "Big Beefy Lineman"?! Tht would be something to see!   Leanne about: my nephew can outspell your nephew yup, they are going to play track and/or soccer. I would say Hockey, but there is no way that we will ever be able to afford the equipment! You just called my bro a scrawny turd...thts funny!    Leanne about: killer speeling bee last night... OK, i openly admit im a complete dork for the Spelling Bee being my commercial channel while wes was out of the room, and I am sure MANY of those kids are getting wedgies...i probably deserve one just for watching it. Anyways, the girl who ended up winning, it was something like her 7th, and final trip to the Bee. THey interviewed her at school, and her classmates. It was like she was a celebrity...they all respected her, and thought she was really cool. However, if my kid ever wants to join the National Spelling Bee tour, i will be supportive, and then send them to their father to be made fun of and harassed, and possibly given a wedgie.    Leanne about: buffalo The fact that we made it this far is pretty amazing. Noone gave us a chance. Barry Melrose has been bad mouthing the Sabres all year, and we were proving him wrong until last night...stupid Barry Melrose. He and his mullet need to go away! Its a bummer, but it was pretty cool to see everybody in this region getting excited about their sports team! I LOVE the new NHL! Go Sabres '07!   Leanne about: FLorence So, i was at the doctors office and opened up an issue of Travel & Leisure Magazine (March '06). There is an article about Florence so naturally I turn to it. And who's face do i see staring back at me? Charles Cecil!! It was an article about his world-renowned art studio and school! it was so strange, seeing pics of his scary dark studio. The writer of the article actually took his nude drawing class. I just found it online...  Cecil Leanne about: buffalo Ok, overkill here on the "things to do in B-lo this weekend" subject. If they are here saturday morning, there is a tour of some of the old mansions on Delaware avenue...really beautiful buildings!  Mansion tour Leanne about: buffalo Oh yeah, and the Hellenic Festival is on this weekend in Buffalo. that may be a fun excursion.  Crazy Greeks Leanne about: buffalo Here is the link for the martin house. It should tell you what is open. If they are out in East Aurora at the Roycroft, there are tons of things to do out there that have to do with the Arts and Crafts movement. I imagine the people at the Inn can help them out. The head office of Fisher Price is in east aurora, so that may be a fun visit for them since they are expecting. Even just driving around the city to see the other frank lloyd wright houses is cool.  martin house Leanne about: House So, wes and i were at the house last night, picking paint colors and hanging out on the front porch. OUr neighborhood is awesome! Everyone who passed the house said hello, and all of the neighbors were out on their upstairs porches with their dags!Mante has tons of potential new freinds! Kids were running around the streets, and everyone was BBQ'ing. One of the women stopped, introduced herself, and told us she knows someone who wants to rent on our street. She gave the woman our number, and we have a mtg with her on sat.! All because of our overly friendly neighbors...man are they going to hate us, lol!!   Leanne about: MORE PICS Berg, as witness to that photograph, yes, you WERE staring at her butt, AND pulling on the tie for her shirt...Andy was just too slow with the camera...I think those vodka on the rocks got to your memory!   Leanne about: MORE PICS Wow, i dont think ANYONE at that wedding was sober! As Matt requested, here is the link again  FunTimes USA Leanne about: shots Those shots were assanine! I can usually handle a shot, but at the end of the night Sweeney bought some of us shots (great idea Sweeney!) that were Green...no idea what they were..but after i took down the whole thing, I had to stand there for 5 minutes while my back teeth were "floating" and i was trying not to throw up...not a typical shot reaction on my part! Those were evile!! By the way, if we were to give out awards for saturday night, i would have to say that Cathryn wins the award for the cutest drunk!!   Leanne about: shots Steph, i knew you were in rough shape when i glanced down the hallway When schmidt was at our door, and saw you just standing there, quiet, waving goodbye. We all felt that way...movement and speech hurt so much yesterday!   Leanne about: WOW! Yes, WOW!! What a great time! REcovery is occuring VERY slowly. Andy and Cathryn...you guys get back ok? I guess wes and I were a little trigger happy with the camera this weekend. There are Plenty of blackmail pics in this batch. It still amazes me how much the man love you guys have for eachother shows up when we are all together!  Man Love at the Mountain wedding Leanne about: mountain address? I am a moron...i meant to say see you saturday...of course we are coming out for drinks on saturday night!!    Leanne about: mountain address? steph, its 709 Klemont Ave. See you sunday!   Leanne about: Friday Is it time to go home yet?! Why wont my office let us leave early?!   Leanne about: lost Alicia, have you noticed the "Hanso Foundation" commercials? Wes pointed them out to me. they have a few every episode during the commercial breaks. THats the foundation wes is talking about. There is a web address at the end of the commercial, and its a real web site! I havent been to it, cus wes says it's a bit of a spoiler since it explains what the "company" is all about.   Leanne about: lost Honey, you need help...   Leanne about: O Canada Canadian Hockey fans are awesome! Especially in my former hometown of Edmonton!  Drunk Canucks Leanne about: O Canada Cathryn, you are right. Dad is DEFINITELY a cute, sappy, happy drunk!! I remember WEs' cousin Parker referring to him as "That old fat drunk guy"!!! Too cute. Hey, here is a link to our Florence pics if anyone is interested. Sorry, no wedding pics! If you guys want to see any of our Athens or Santorini pics, just let me know. There are alot, but i figure that its friday, and many of us are bored!  Firenze Leanne about: O Canada Sure, I am not saying that Canadians are not obnoxious...they really can be! But, to be perfectly honest, the amount of times I saw an American (with a very obvious "american" accent...be it from the south, or new york) FAR outweigh the Canadians i saw doing the same. Canadians are getting worse lately about their nationalism...very loud and boisterous as opposed to in the past where they were more reserved and quiet about it. And yes, my dad, who is Canadian and American, AND Scottish can be very obnoxious, lol. Not sure which side is the obnoxious side though, lol!!   Leanne about: O Canada I will say that one of my fave things about hockey is that they sing both the Canadian and US anthems, regardless of the teams playing (of course, I am a bit biased). I think it is great that they pay respect to the history of the game like that. Most hockey fans respect that, and thts one of the things that makes hockey fans so great.   Leanne about: O Canada Bub, If you find it, Please post it...i would love to hear it. I was proud when i received my US citizenship one month ago, but I will tell you...after our trip to Europe, and coming across several Americans, including the guy from Milan...it makes me sad! The guy from Milan also started singing "99 bottles of beer on the wall" with a very thick NY accent during hour 4 of an 8.5 hour flight! Then his wife started bitching about the old guy with the big head who was sitting in front of her, preventing her from seeing the movie. The guy was German, so i guess she assumed he couldnt understand her...i almost smacked the two of them...they made me embarassed to be a US citizen...Jerk-offs!!!   Leanne about: Mountain absence Hey Bub, who is going to hold our hands on bdc and erase the spam while you are gone for two weeks?? Please help us!!   Leanne about: morning fools :o)   59 St. James Leanne about: morning fools :o) Link doesnt seem to work...give me a few minutes.   Leanne about: morning fools :o) Here are some old pics of the house. They are pics of our apartment, and the attic. The backyard is MUCH nicer now that the garden is blooming.  59 St. James Leanne about: morning fools :o) I wish! this whole jet lag/working thing SUCKS!!!! Big news...The Voits will be closing on our house this Thursday morning!!!   Leanne about: OMG Wes, did your dad have Mante on this diet while we were gone?   FatDog Leanne about: vellum I dont know if this is the same thing, but i accidentally bought Laser Printer address labels, and printed some at home on my Ink jet...they looked like crap! So, wes had to print them at work. I would test a small sheet if you can. I think printing laser jet on ink jet paper isnt as much of a problem as the reverse.   Leanne about: Voit Wedding Pictures Thanks Brad! Those are great! We hardly have any pics of people at Old Stove (aside from the Limbo contest!). This reminds me...Wes and I were wondering if we could bother everyone who took pics over there, and ask you for a cd of all of your pics, or just a selection of pics. We didnt get to see people much during the days, so we would love to see what everyone did! And that pic of my dad with those girls...apparently he was hitting on every girl who walked into that bar, and once he reeled them in he would introduce them to my brother, his friend dave, and apparently wes' 15 year old cousin! My dad the pimp!   Leanne about: this weekend the Englishes and the Voits (teehee) will arrive sometime saturday late afternoon, early evening. I assume Jay and Toners will follow us.   Leanne about: Alitalia Dont worry about it Bub...go and get your tickets changed tonight, and things will all fall into place when you leave. Everything will work out!   Leanne about: Alitalia and they will give you all of the boarding passes you will need for your trip over there, assuming you dont change airlines.   Leanne about: Alitalia cant you just get the right tickets at the counter when you check in the day you leave? Thats what we did...showed our passports, told them where our destination was, and they printed our boarding passes as we checked in our bags.    Leanne about: 90 degrees?!?!?!? Alitalia employees are asses...esp their flight attendants. Our flight home was the worst ever!!! The best bet is to ask at the airport when you check in for your flight out of Pittsburgh...they should tell you wahts up.   Leanne about: Farewell First off, abby did you guys happen to find a brown t-shirt with a pink print on it...probably says INFKTION somewhere on it. If you do, can you hold onto it for me? Second, Wes and I are heading out in a few hours. I am sooo excited to get in that plane and leave all of our worries behind! Thews' good luck with the move...Mountains, enjoy all of the final wedding planning! The rest of you, I will see you crazy kids in a few weeks! Love ya!   Leanne about: Anxious IS IT TIME TO LEAVE YET???!!!!!    Leanne about: Review Ok, so these aren't Wes-level reviews, but i thought i would put in my 2 cents. "Pearl Jam" by Pearl Jam...Album Art: Cool colors, plain outside, rather gruesome inside. Music: Good. Not as rockin as I had heard it was. But good jams throughout, nonetheless. "10,000 days" by Tool...Album Art: Oh my frickin goodness! Way to bring album art/album experience to a whole new level! goggles with 3-d pictures?! Seriously?! Wow. Music: not there yet, but i assume it will be the standard Tool sound. So far i like the single they released for radio.   Leanne about: Mountain weddin The English's and the Voit's (Voit's...weird!) will be arriving in P'burgh sometime Saturday. We will plan on sharing funtimes with you Thewsy, and anyone else who is willing.   Leanne about: stuff No! But i saw the previews for it! That would have been hysterical! The one with the blonde chick constantly whining "Daddy" was great too. And in the one last night, the girl had a FIT because her mother chose the centerpieces that she hated, and because it saved her parents $3000, she freaked and demanded that money for herself! Funtimes   Leanne about: stuff Steph, wes was laughing at me, and almost cancelled the wedding when he saw me watching Super Sweet Sixteen last night...I love that crap! It makes me laugh.   Leanne about: stuff IS IT FRIDAY YET???!!! I cant take the anticipation anymore!!!    Leanne about: Voit/Johnston reception The doubles at both hotels are the standard two double beds, sleeping 4. The suites sleep 2 on a king sized bed (separate room), 2 on a pull out couch, and one on a roll-away bed, if requested.    Leanne about: Voit/Johnston reception Cathryn, i think all of the suites at the Hampton are reserved. There MAY be one or two left. Our family snapped those up right away. But, there are alot of double rooms still left at that hotel.    Leanne about: SHHHHHH!! yesterday went by quickly, but today is SOOOOOO SLOW!!!!! I just hope that it picks up soon! I want it to be Friday!!!   Leanne about: Sox tickets I think Berg is on his way to London right now!   Leanne about: Sox tickets Abso-fricken-lutely!!! Esp now that Jet Blue has cheap flights to Boston!! Mr. P and Duncan might hate us though! We will have to look at our calendars...   Leanne about: pa weddingzzzz bub, how about turning the page in my WEEKLY planner and seeing "Last day of work" and "Leave for FLORENCE"...weird!!   Leanne about: pa weddingzzzz Buffalo is a drinking town, plain and simple. Although, the last few months you may call us a Hockey Town.   Leanne about: Europa Berg, did you ever have any success in convincing Kevin Adams to take us on a tour of the Vasari Corridor?   Leanne about: music I agree Abby...Great CD D-Rok! I am listening to Guevara right now...review to come later!   Leanne about: Solider Field Chicago Debates on theory aside, I had a huge boner when we first walked through the new Soldier Field. I think the juxtaposition of new and old is incredible! To see those doric columns next to the very modern supports of the new structure is cool. You have to go into this building with an open mind. You have to be willing to see this building for what it is: A modernization of an antiquated football stadium. You cant get stuck on the quesiton of what WAS. This is a cool building, and I cant wait to visit it again to see the Bills cream the Bears!   Leanne about: See ya Im outta hear biatches!! I am off to enjoy the beautiful outside as a reward for working WAY too many hours this week! See you suckers around 9!!   Leanne about: Spammers Try again  SPammers blow Leanne about: Spammers Heres the link. You can register your cell phone through the same site people use for their home phones  Spammers suck!! Leanne about: Spammers there's a Do Not Call list for cell phones. I dont know the link though...anyone else know it?   Leanne about: Pittsburgh is Fun! yes, i am here, at home, about to meet wes for lunch. Gotta love client meetings 5 minutes away from home! I will be back in the office around one (blah!)   Leanne about: Pittsburgh is Fun! Team B-lo's ETA tomorrow night is around 8:30/9:00. we plan on leaving here at 5.   Leanne about: Thewsy Yes, Happy Bday Thews! In honor of this glorious date, yesterday our County Executive Joel Giambra made an announcement that he thinks politicians should begin discussions about the possibility of legalizing drugs!! This in response to three drug related murders in the area. Go Joel!!   Leanne about: sore back = I cant wait to kill the BEAUTIFUL garden we are inheriting at the new place. I give us one season of Mr. P eating all the flowers, and us being lazy, before half of it is dead. We are awesome!   Leanne about: this weekend Yup, Team B-lo will be in town Friday night!   Leanne about: Computer program A few of us in the office are trying to research different rendering programs for creating rendered site plans. We are familiar with Sketchup, but didnt know if anyone knew of other programs. They need to be user friendly, and not require much AutoCAD experience.   Leanne about: FYI You are correct that Dyngus day is HUGE in Buffalo, but I cant speak for Buffalo being the DYngus Day capital of the world. Its a crazy Polish tradition taht involves pussy willows, water guns and "claiming" your mate. Seriously, i dont make this up...maybe wes can offer a more indepth explanation.   Leanne about: music That cd may be the only thing getting me through the last part of today. This is the SLOWEST Friday ever!!   Leanne about: hello? I STILL call Shenanigans. I think the boys should only buy you shots, just because you are demanding no shots!    Leanne about: hello? I am here...all day! Wes is still in bed, as is the Pug. the only consolation I have is wes' dad and Uncle are doing work on the hosue, so wes gets to deal with that mess all day. I hate the world today.   Leanne about: zzzzzzz.... Bub, I call Shenanigans!!! From what i was told, wes was doing nasty shots all the way until 3:55 in the morning. Wes certainly does not do shots either. Anyone who has ever lived with him knows what happens to him when he does! Not fair...you cant call "no shots"   Leanne about: Stag Pics That picture of Thews is "precious". was your body/face being taken over by an evil demon?   Leanne about: does wes still live? Oh! I forgot about the Ballads. LEts go for the ballads first, and i will bring Exercise in Unfamiliarity to work tomorrow. Thanks!   Leanne about: does wes still live? Does anybody have Biggie's latest CD with them today? Can you post it?   Leanne about: does wes still live? PICTURES!!! I want pictures of this weekend!!    Leanne about: does wes still live? Amazingly enough Wes is among the living. He was able to hold full conversations within an hour of waking up! Thank goodness for Chasers!!! The one who is NOT doing well is Mante...what did you guys do to him?! He is a giant lump of sleeepy stinky pug. Its hilarious! I dont think he has moved in the last 24 hours!   Leanne about: woohoooo Me is outtie...see you crazies this weekend!   Leanne about: woohoooo Ha! Thts funny...I think i may just say screw it and leave...   Leanne about: BEDS Berg, after all of the alcohol, and possible Garbage Plate(s) that you guys will feed him, I DARE you to sleep in the same room as him, let alone the same bed.   Leanne about: woohoooo Can someone call my office posing as someone important so that i can leave?! lol   Leanne about: woohoooo Me too...i have a looooong drive ahead of me! A whole 20 minutes to get home, and 5 minutes to get settled down to take a nap...   Leanne about: fryday Just a reminder...bring air mattresses if you have them! Especially the ladies...we will need them in the suite on saturday!   Leanne about: fryday Dickey, we really dont know the specifics of whom is coming. Expect everybody you have met while visiting Buffalo, plus some new additions. There will also be family and parents' friends as well. Team C-Bus...will you eat on your way up, or should we wait for you?   Leanne about: fryday HOLY CRAP ITS FRICKIN FRIDAY!!!! You guys leave yet??? I expect Team C-bus aroun 7/8, The Shire around 2am, two parts of team Pitt on saturday (D-rok you coming up separately)...what about everyone else??? Are you on my front porch yet???   Leanne about: music Is it time to go home yet?! Is it Friday yet?!   Leanne about: Venting Seriously, wes and i may have to designate someone as the "Official Bail Holder". To this person we will give two blank checks...one written out to the Erie COunty Holding Center, and the other to the City of Buffalo Police Dept, depending on which one gets called to the scene when either one of us starts dancing around a certain burning building. SEriously...lets get drunk this weekend! Abby, you are my official body guard this weekend, do NOT let me out of your site!   Leanne about: Venting I HATE THE DUMB BIATCH IN THE ITALIAN VICE CONSULATE IN BUFFALO. SHE HAS A SERIOUS DEATH WISH. and i do not worry about posting this on the internet, because i will personally tell her to her face!!! IF wes and I are unable to get married in Florence because of this woman, she had better go into hiding! There is no scarier person than a Bride on a mission!!!!   Leanne about: Weird Stuff Ok, so the guy at work that always gives wes and i DVD's of these crazy politically driven (and often bad)cartoons/tv shows just handed me two seasons of a show called "Wonder Showzen". Anyone heard of this? Dickey? Supposedly they are out of some Art Collective in New York City...   Leanne about: wallpaper Thts was a crazy story!! Everytime i see yellow wallpaper i think of it!   Leanne about: sports I feel your pain Stallkamp's...wallpaper blows! Especially when its old, and the glue is old and it fights you right down to the last possible ounce of your sanity. Trust me, in the end it will be worth it!   Leanne about: sports I couldn't agree more Dickey!   Leanne about: sports Raise your hand if you hate baseball season!!!!   Leanne about: rock Gee, thanks Wes...it means yer dumb too!   Leanne about: rock I CANT WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fun units will be off the charts!!! hey, anybody looking for an apartment in Buffalo? Great landlords, cute puppy with human characteristics, and lots of fun, noisy times in store!   Leanne about: 10 opinions in a row #7 The best part about the whole fight/clubbing was the fact that my mom, who is afraid of the City, was in the house looking out the window. Luckily my remark to her of it being "just a fist fight" was enough to calm her down. She would have FLIPPED had she seen what really happened. Welcome to the neighbourhood Mom!! wow, i cant wait to move!    Leanne about: Music whores Anyone have some good Friday music for our listening pleasure?   Leanne about: the OC wow, i totally missed that line! I saw most of the OC at the laundromat last night, but couldnt hear it very well. I will have to watch it again! Great line! GUESS WHAT??!!! IT"S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: In other news I meant '07   Leanne about: In other news FOr the next three days Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Laura Linney are in Buffalo filming a movie called "The Savages", to be released in '06. As we speak, they are one street over from our house, towards Elmwood.   Leanne about: funtimes... Usually, i bitch about work...but not today. There are two reasons: 1. ITS THURSDAY!!! Which means tomorrow is Friday! Thursday is my fave day of the week. 2. For the first time in months I get to sketch, with my headphones on rocking out to SOAD while drawing with Sharpies and breathing in their glorious fumes. Glorious because it means I am sketching! No client to deal with, no invoices to write/approve, no contract negotiations, no mess to clean up (until my phone rings). Nothing! I like this morning.   Leanne about: time All you can eat and drink, and all sorts of fun, games and prizes...that will be your reward!!   Leanne about: time I agree Bub...it feels like it is Friday today! I need it to be this weekend, and then next weekend, and then Abby/Bub weekend and then leave for Italy weekend!! Things are moving waaaaay too slow this week!   Leanne about: drugs Here is a link to something i found  No sleep for you! Leanne about: drugs As far as i understood it, this is a new drug...not GHB or anything that has already been used.    Leanne about: drugs I saw something on tv the other day about a drug that the military is developing, or has already developed that would keep soliders awake and alert for several days at a time. Cant remember where i saw this, or what the drug was...but its out there somewhere!   Leanne about: random stuff We have all heard about Brad pitt being "Mr. Architect", and getting to help design buildings...well, here is another one for you fans of Brad...  Archidork? Leanne about: Texas Nice conversation killer wes...   Leanne about: Sweet firm Yes, lots of sex was had on OC last night!! Way to end a show and reel people in for the next one...half naked teens. I wont officially pronounce the show as recovered, but it may be on its way.   Leanne about: Texas Living Biggest reason why we should NOT move to Texas, like we were talking about yesterday...  No Drunks allowed! Leanne about: Trips Sorry Thews, I completely forgot about sending you the awesome trips link. It seems outrageous at first, but go to the auction section of the website, and if you are lucky you can land on a sweet deal!  Trips for you! Leanne about: houses A-Ron, thts so funny, cus i thought the exact same thing when I read the headline. Someday, when we all live on that cul-de-sac named Babbling Brook Circle in the "woods, with our perfect lawns, tht will be you shooting Berg's hairy child.   Leanne about: Pictures Biggie, I know you tried to lay down on your neighbors lawn when you got out of the cab, but i basically had to carry you into the house, so i dont think you fell then. But, you were completely unsupervised while you puked outside for an hour, so maybe it happened then   Leanne about: i left my___ in c-bus so dirty.....   Leanne about: i left my___ in c-bus I have some rather interesting videos/sound clips from the end of the night that I will have to pull off my camera. Lets just say that if it wasnt for us, Wes would have gotten beat up by the cabbie for screaming so much, and we would have never seen our dear Biggie ever again if he had of been permitted to vacate the cab at a stoplight about a mile away from his house. Biggie and wes also attempted to pass out on the lawn of the house across from Biggie's place...good times!   Leanne about: COngrats Thews and Cristen...big hugs are coming your way! I just checked out the house online...BEAUTIFUL!!!!!   Leanne about: bag a bones I am here until noon, then I am off to pick up a drifter all hopped up on Green bagels, and the promise of Green beer and Thewsy kisses!    Leanne about: Items to Discuss Good luck Thews and Cristen!!!!   Leanne about: Items to discuss On the topic of things to discuss...we are planning on going to a bar to watch the Kent game tomorrow, right? Where will we find a bar that wont be PACKED on St. patrick's day so we can actually watch the game?   Leanne about: Items to discuss This just in...Sweet J is lame and has also backed out. We already told him to expect drunk harassing phone calls!   Leanne about: Drunky McDrunks Hey, just curious...who is in attendance at the C-Bus festivities this weekend?   Leanne about: Anchorman Thanks Thews! Yeah, it cracks my shit up   Leanne about: Music request Someone burned us a copy of the Anchorman soundtrack, but the last three songs are messed up...can we get another copy this weekend? Pleeeeeease   Leanne about: st patty Nick and Laura, I stick my tongue out at you!!! Now that they arent coming, someone better prepare themselves to make us tasty Bloody Mary's / Mimosa's!!!   Leanne about: st patty At least one faction of Team Buffalo will leave here around 1 on Friday, so expect us in time to watch the Kent game. K-S-U...   Leanne about: music I agree with Wes...Sleeping Kings was GREAT, and they did not play long enough. Prefuse was terrible, and they played way too long (and we only stayed for what I would assume was their second "song")   Leanne about: Slogans were, not was...nice grammar!   Leanne about: Slogans The first two was dumb, but check out this one: "Because so much is riding on your Leanne"    Leanne about: Car Nice Thews! What did you get?   Leanne about: SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!! DId i miss something? are there stories about an ankle and a microwave?   Leanne about: Music Request Thanks kids...love ya, and my migraine loves ya too!   Leanne about: Music Request PLEASE HELP!!! Does anyone have any mellow, chill music today? I am in desperate need...   Leanne about: Worst Father of the Year Award This man deserves to be beat.  "Father" Leanne about: Italy I should clarify...by full-blood italians i mean someone who grew up there, and is still stuck in the "we move as slow as molasses" way of life.   Leanne about: Italy In the last few days I have been reminded of how slow things move when full-blood Italians are involved, AND that some of the Italian officials are absolute retards! The Italian Vice Consul here ( who was the reason wes almost didnt go to Italy the first time, and didnt have a visa) is TOTALLY trying to f up ANY chance we have of being legally married in Italy...I hate this woman, and want to punch her in the cooch!   Leanne about: rain cloud rumblin Sorry things Suck right now. I am sending you Loooooong distance hugs! Feel better!! Hope your dad is ok...   Leanne about: license For our engineering sets, we just have to sign and ink stamp the original docs, and then make prints...its super convenient! But, ALL of our surveys, which we do alot of, need to be embossed.   Leanne about: car I have never had a car payment, which is awesome. That wont last for long though...we will probably have to get a new car in the summer, cus the Maroon Bitch is on her way out the door, cus she is getting too expensive to fix. I hate cars! I have the extra short-term disability. Its not much out of your pay-check, and if you ever have to use it, it will be well worth it! Or at least thts how I talked myself into it!   Leanne about: house DIF is worth the cost!!! especially on old wallpaper! Buy one or two handheld scoring thingies, and if you do that first, it will help the DIF penetrate the paper. It rocks! AND its not toxic, and doesnt really have much of a smell. It turns the wall paper into goo that you can scrape off. Then you just wash off the walls.   Leanne about: house I have to admit Cathryn...wes and I didnt paint the entire wall behind the fridge. If i recall, we only did halfway down the wall. Pretty terrible if you ask me. But its not our house, so we weren't too worried! At least its better than Wes' uncle who decided not to move the appliances when he tiled the kitchen! He used tile cutters to create a rough, uneven cut around the appliances. its atrocious! And he wanted us to finish it for him...ummm, no, moron, you will NEVER match the uneven line that you cut through the middle of all of the tiles. I have no patience for stupid homeowners!   Leanne about: house Ouch, I do NOT envy you having to do that Bub. AFter dealing with the Richmond house, we are sooo happy that the owner of our new house wasnt a wallpaper freak, and has stripped and patched and repainted most of the old walls. We will just have to strip off the wallpaper in the dining room and a border in the kitchen. WHich raises a question...who in their right mind ever thought wallpaper borders were a good idea?! seriously...one of the dumbest decor ideas ever.   Leanne about: My fun tonight Lucky me, I get to go to a Planning Board meeting tonight in a Town 30 minutes away. Not only that, but the board is a bunch of farmers who have NO CLUE what they are doing, and their engineers have never even thought about civil engineering (and this is coming from someone with no civil engineering background). this is a controversial project (not with the public, but the morons on the board) and I have to spend 30 mins or more arguing with them, while praying my head doesnt explode from my migraine...anyone want to go?? ARRRGGHHH this is one of those "i hate my job nights!". Sorry...had to vent! PS...I LOVE CHIPOTLE, and I wish it was in Buffalo. we finally got Panera bread, but no chipotle!   Leanne about: crawling Ha! Thanks Bub   Leanne about: crawling I dont   Leanne about: guiness See ya TUESDAY!!! Happy President's Day! WOOHOO!!!!   Leanne about: Rome Article on CNN about the poor, unsafe condition of Palatine Hill  Rome Leanne about: yessssssssssssss Ha! I can just see it, Andy being asked by his client, or a Town official..."Mr. English, how are you doing today?" and Andy replies "Gay"   Leanne about: yessssssssssssss Speaking of gay...the quote on my pug calendar has a great quote, which could definitely fit all you chodes (by the way, chode is my new fave word) on this board! "The greatest dog in the world...is a companion who does all but speak. He will be GAY or serious; he will console you in your lowest moods"   Leanne about: Mante Berg, are you stoned?   Leanne about: girl advice Dont even get me started on Planning Boards! I attend Planning Board/Town Board meetings weekly, and they are ALL morons! MORONS who have no background in anything relative to planning, economics, or architecture. They are all chodes. I hate Planning Boards, and they should all disband, and let Wes and I be in charge...things would be so much better! I am all for public involvement, and public comment regarding projects, but I am NOT for uneducated dipshites who actually think that they know what they are talking about...Shut up, Sit down, and let me tell you how it works, moron!!!   Leanne about: Curious George Clean Uncle Eric...WHERE DID YOU PUT OUR FRIEND KNOWN AS D.U.E.???!!!!!   Leanne about: House Well, i hope I am not jumping the gun too much...but, wes and I are a few signatures away from being homeowners (and landlords!). the owner has said she will accept our offer, now we just have to make it official!! I feel sick!   Leanne about: high school reunion See, the way I did it is the way to go...i lost touch with my close freinds from high school, so I wont feel any pressure to go! WOOHOO!!   Leanne about: B-day Woah, that is crazy Thews! Happy belated bday Cristen!!!   Leanne about: happy birthday leanne! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!! Cristen, my fellow aquarius, when is your bday?   Leanne about: its your birthday Thanks Berg, yes it is...I feel old!   Leanne about: 101 worst business moves I'll give you this one Berg... 5. So that's why they call it a CrackBerry. A study by the University of London's Institute of Psychiatry, commissioned by Hewlett-Packard, finds that "an average worker's functioning IQ falls 10 points when distracted by ringing telephones and incoming e-mails ... more than double the four-point drop seen following studies on the impact of smoking marijuana."   Leanne about: Weekend I'm bored...is it time to start the weekend yet?!   Leanne about: hotmail works for me too   Leanne about: hood The other day I saw an old guy out in front of his shop (maybe it was his, or maybe he was just a random). He was standing, bent over just sweeping pebbles/dirt off of the sidewalk with the side of a toilet brush!! It was ridiculous! ...weird hood people   Leanne about: Homeschooling Interesting article that fits our discussion  homeschool Leanne about: Woops That didnt work...try this  crazy mama Leanne about: Go Stillers! Ok, this woman is a bigger fan than ALL of you!!!  Crazy mama! Leanne about: Home Schooling They arent always guaranteed to learn more either. I know of two girls that were home schooled, and then placed back in the public school system. The 18 year old is in 10th grade! I totally disagree with homeschooling...socially, and in terms of providing them witha good education. Its certainly a parents choice, but they better make sure they are teaching them everything they need to know, and providing them with a social outlet, like clubs or sports.   Leanne about: catchup I just snotted coffee allover my keyboard after reading that. PRICELESS!!!!   Leanne about: Seattle As a comparison, there is a Tim Hortons on every corner in this region, and I still brew my own coffee. Timmy Ho's coffee is the best in the world, but I cant justify spending the extra $1 every morning   Leanne about: weaver Dan and Jill Sprenger just had a baby too! (i am a jerk, and cant remember if its a boy or a girl!!)    Leanne about: stupid mondays I DO have pics...i will have to share them...a few are worth a laugh! One thing about the house that Wes forgot to mention: we were in the finished basement and Wes was wandering around with the owner. Suddenly I hear him shriek, and start giggling..."Leanne you HAVE to see this". he was standing in front of a blank, wood paneled wall. he pushes on the wall, and it moves to reveal a secret room! Our eyes lit up and we screeched "Jungle Room!!". I think we scared the poor owner. The house definitely went up in value when we saw that...too bad the sheer ugliness of it won out!   Leanne about: Funny in a mean way Check out this video. I think she makes the strangest noise ever to come out of a human being! When you play the initial sound over and over again it almost has a beat to it, and sounds even funnier!   When Grapes Attack Leanne about: Poll I would say I have bad dreams that actually wake me up about once a month. But, if I drink regular coffee within four hours of going to bed, i usually have an entire night of sleeplessness and crazy bad dreams. I know, its weird...wes can vouch for it though...my coffee dreams are f'ed up!   Leanne about: A A-ron, I would love to give you all sorts of high fives for your musical and artistic talents on your cd, but I have only been able to look at the cd...WES! I WANT MY TURN TO LISTEN!!!!   Leanne about: Pics Initial comments...WOW!!! Looks like we were all sober!! Highlights of the pics: Thews' tongue and nipples made an appearance, as did Kantz' monkey, Becky wbeing in rare, yet glorious form, Abby's champagne-bottle-shaped penis, and of course, how can it be a party at berg's house with out the Beer Bong! Good times!   Leanne about: Skiing Yes, we will definitely plan to come out skiing one day that weekend!    Leanne about: Skiing So, which weekends are you crazy ohioans coming skiing this way? A-ron, Becky and Schmidt...i know your offices had some stuff scheduled...   Leanne about: Musak It is on the FTP site with the album name: "Logic willBreak Your heart"   Leanne about: Musak A Canadian band called "The Stills" Good stuff, in my opinion.   Leanne about: Beer Thirty Biggie, did these guys call you?  Drinking on the job Leanne about: House of Thews Thewsy, Congrats and big wet kisses! Mante sends some kisses your way too!   Leanne about: Music It might be there...it is called "Logic WIll Break Your Heart" Can someone try it and tell me if it loads ok?   Leanne about: Music Ok, so after asking everyone to post music the other day, i decided to post some. its a Canadian band called "The Stills". They get limited play on the Toronto stations, and my co-worker just introduced me to the album. I have no idea if anyone will be into this, so just check it out. I will post again when it is loaded!   Leanne about: Muppets Thts funny...problem is, now i cant get it out of my head!   Leanne about: Woo-hoo!!! Abby, Bub...CONGRATS!!! Thats awesome!!   Leanne about: Stupid Snow! 2" of snow somehow means that our electrical is going out every 5 minutes. I have spent an entire afternoon recovering files, or starting over again, even with my automatic save set to 1 minute!! THIS BLOWS!!!   Leanne about: snake food? Where is that Turtle and hippo video...i want to watch it again!   Leanne about: hair removal Which reminds me of a WIll and Grace episode...She told Will that she had gotten a "Belgian wax" done that day, and being Will, he understood taht there is no such thing, so asked her what the hell she was talking about. her response: "I went to get waxed, and it hurt so bad afterwards I treated myself to a Belgian waffle" lol funny.   Leanne about: hair removal "Back side Brazilian"...what a great name, lol!   Leanne about: hair removal It might be best to warn them upfront over the phone...that way they can get someone who can stomach all that hair.    Leanne about: Music Any cool music out there that we can share?   Leanne about: St. Patty's So, are the official plans to head to C-bus?    Leanne about: SHHHH!!!! WALK IN CLOSET?! Sweet!!! Can i just live in that? I want a walk in closet!!   Leanne about: silly Thts Hilarious!   Leanne about: football Wes, Chill out, its Hockey season...no need to worry about the Stupid buffalo Bills...We have the Sabres to cheer for now, and as of today, they aren't doing anything TOO stupid!   Leanne about: BErg Berg - Send a copy my way too Please!!!   Leanne about: OMG!!! This is horrifying...Happy lunch!  wow Leanne about: Manny Traded! berg, please tell me you realize that article was afake?   Leanne about: Manny Traded! best part of the article...“When I first heard I was being moved, I was like ‘Yes!’ Then they told me it was the Red Sox and I was like ‘Yes! What a great place to play!’ Then after a while it dawned on me that the Red Sox were the same team I was on last year. They can’t fool me like that." DUMBARSE!!!!   Leanne about: NCARB HIGH FIVE TO WES!!!!!   Leanne about: Drunk/Asleep? "I swear Officer...I am not drunk. I just woke up from a nap!"  Check out this article Leanne about: poop I want to be a Ninja!! much cooler than a Knight! But, alas, i must get theee to my steed and gallop off into the sunset.   Leanne about: Voit Thews....Remind me...did you want to be on the Voit wedding mailing list for Florence?   Leanne about: skiing Its ok Becky, I am still struggling along. I cant wait to ski...wes got me skiing/boarding pants for xmas, so I am lookin like a hot little ski bunny now!    Leanne about: skiing Matt, I am sure Wes and I can make it out there one day! will you be out there all weekend? Maybe we could even set that as the skiing weekend we have all been talking about...make it a GREAT time!   Leanne about: Adaptive Reuse That should be GothiC   Leanne about: Adaptive Reuse Ani DiFranco is currently rehabilitating a Gothis revival church in Downtown Buffalo. Its going to be a concert hall, a recording studio for Righteous Babe records, a place for Hallwall's art gallery, and more. Pretty cool. Should open this spring.  Ani's Church Leanne about: Weirdness More proof that we are more "normal" than others in this world.  Mummified Leanne about: C-Bus Hey Biggie, there is a bar in/around C-bus that has lots of Volleyball pits/courts (wuts the right term) and has leagues there in the Spring/summer. I know, not much to go on. DO you know it? Are you near that? One of my good friends from high school, her husband is the owner.   Leanne about: this weekend Would we be doing Booby prints???   Leanne about: skiing We will have to talk about it, but funds are really tight right now. SO, if we can find something affordable, and find a weekend when we are free, its a possibility. I cant take any days off of work, so it will be tough. There is a small chance i could get a half day on a Friday.   Leanne about: site update Get your priorites straight Bub!! You think that planning a wedding, and looking to buy a house are good excuses to slack off on your BDC duties?! COME ON!!! (Just kidding :-) )   Leanne about: music I'm downloading it now!   Leanne about: Busted Nice Thews, nice!   Leanne about: NEws?? Ok, i realize that Harry Potter is a hit, and I will admit I am a HUGE fan, but seriously, this is considered NEWS???!!!  stupid press! Leanne about: bills Best comment from Marv's press conference.."people kept asking me ' Aren't you Re-TIRED?' and I said, yes, and now that i have new tires, I am ready to go again" Har har. I want to cry. I love dear old Marv, but not as GM   Leanne about: bills yeah, when I heard that I started banging my head up against the steering wheel...luckily i wasnt driving    Leanne about: Music And Disease Free-Male starting with "Sex bomb"...makes me laugh everytime! I dont know about you, but I picture an old black man on stage, wearing sequins head to toe singing this song!   Leanne about: Music Good Point Aaron...that Tri Fecta is un-frickin-believable!!   Leanne about: Music Thews, I must applaud you. I am listening to Disease Free-Female. To go from Danzig, Mother to Walking on Sunshine...remarkable! Frickin Ballsy! Biggie...I have yet to listen to yours, but I am sure Wes and I will be making out to it at some point!   Leanne about: bills Come on Wes, give the "Golden Boys" a chance!! Arrggghhh...this is weird! I agree, Go Sabres!   Leanne about: My rant today... I dont get it...why cant people use headphones?! we do in our office, as long as you can still hear your phone its all good.   Leanne about: bills CRAP! sorry to get you so worked up...I should learn how to read   Leanne about: bills And they might bring in Marv Levy as GM! Thts gonnaa be weird for Mularkey... As one guy on the radio put it "its like if I was to go home and tell my wife that my ex was moving in. Now, I still love my wife and she's number 1, but my ex makes a mean meatloaf, so she's going to move in. I am not so sure that would go over real well".   Leanne about: Loneliness... See previews for the movie "Brokeback Mountain" Or as the B-lo boys call it, "Gayback Mountain" Yes, its terrible...i am just repeating what they say, lol   Leanne about: Loneliness... I think the line was "I wish I knew how to quit you"   Leanne about: Mante is tough! I thought I would share a little story with you all...So, I am upstairs workign away, listening for my brother's freind to come to the door (he had to drop something off). Mante is in the kitchen, sleeping. I havent heard a peep out of him all morning. Suddenly I hear him crying and whimpering like a little girl. I wonder why...so, i go downstairs to see our freind at the door...guess i didnt hear him knock. So, not only is Mante a TERRIBLE guard dog, but he CRIES when someone comes to the door. he doesnt bark like a normal dog would, but he cries like a little bitch, excited for that person to come inside so he can give them kisses! I love my dog, lol!   Leanne about: tonight sounds like a fun-filled plan   Leanne about: Seriously? So, what did you do on your xma vacation? Kid takes school assignment too far  Dumbarse Leanne about: stupid what kind of scale is 1/278" = 1' SERIOUSLY!!!! wow, to say it again, these students are dumb. here is another one... 1:810 ARGGGHHHH!! I am not aware of a Butcher's around here. If we had one, I would go!   Leanne about: music wes = dumbarse! I KNEW this would happen!! HAA!!!   Leanne about: Duncan Portsmouth is, as Bostonians would say, "Wicked Awwwesome". The only part that sucks is the 1am bar closing!   Leanne about: Duncan Thanks for the pics! He is a cutie! To clarify regarding our plans for the next few months...we cant schedule any major events here, aside from apotential bachelor/bachelorette party, because we may be moving anytime in the next 4 months, AND the owner of this house needs to show it on the weekends, so no drunk people sprawled on the floors, lol! While i will miss having all of you crazy kids here in this house one last time, it is off limits for a while!   Leanne about: march madness Abby, email me from work, to my hotmail account, that way we can start the conversation. I only have your work email at the office :-)   Leanne about: wes Wes. is your phone turned off???   Leanne about: march madness We could always do a competition weekend similar to Summer throwdown where its a free-for all with teams. you know, take a hiatus from trying to field a Buffalo away team, since it is impossible. Once we get settled this summer, maybe wes and I can have a Team Ohio vs. Team Buffalo comp weekend to make up for it   Leanne about: dumb students Ok, I need to make a disclaimer now...the months of March, April, and May will be INCREDIBLY busy for several of us (in particular, two couples planning weddings, AND possibly moving). So, lets not jump at making any plans until said couples plan all of their wedding crap that they need to invite people to (stags, showers, bachelor/bachelorette weekends)...that way, we will have no conflict. Dont mean to be a downer about get togethers in the spring, but its gonna get crazy soon! So, Biggie, lets stay in touch about March, that way noone will be fighting over weekends! Cant wait to see your new place! WOO!!!   Leanne about: dumb students So, after a painful semester of teaching, I am sitting here grading final projects and have come to realize something...we were AWESOME students!! despite coming to class drunk/pied, or not coming to class at all someitmes, we were WONDERFUL compared to these morons! At times i am sure our professors thought some of us were slackers, but I have now learned otherwise! we would NEVER have turned in the garbage that I am now grading...what morons! Good luck with life kiddies...you will need it!   Leanne about: Friday night activities Abby, I have no idea what that is, but I'm in!   Leanne about: the Dag I dotn know Andy...that might be funny to watch! The pug has never been humped before!! Woah, thats sounds really eprverse..."it would be fun to watch our dogs hump...ewwww" I reallydont mean it that way, lol   Leanne about: music Its a mix of languages. As far as I figure, it has some french in it. I think Abby and bub did some research on that   Leanne about: the Dag You guys got your dog?!! Awesome!! I need some pics! Mante will be super pumped when i tell him. And good planning on the housebroken nine month old...THAT will save some stress!   leanne about: only in cleveland sounds interesting...   Leanne about: only in cleveland That footage was great!! What a dumbarse!   Leanne about: hairy bergs new years bonanza I am super pumped for this weekend! WOOHOO!!! I, too dreamed about you guys this am, as iw as sleeping all cuddly warm i bed. I dreamed of all of you suckers working!! BLAHHH!!!!!!! LOl, sorry, I couldnt resist rubbing in the fact that its 10:40, and i just got up! Cant wait to see all of you suckers this weekend...Abby, you can be assured that I will make it up to you (wink wink) Hope everyone had an awesome Cristmukah!   Leanne about: sorry to dwell on it Thts hilarious!!! The only thing missing is pissing on the grave...THAT would be perfect!   Leanne about: Way to go a-holes In a related article...  Surveillance Leanne about: stupid me Sorry, that last post was from me!   Leanne about: chores I'm in! Sounds like a great excuse to get together, drink some drinks, and watch the boys do some manual labor!! WOOHOO!!    Leanne about: Holiday Season I am sure they will pay for it. If not right away, then Wes and I will be enjoying several months of rent-free living!   Leanne about: Worst EVER!! Well, Wes and I wake up this morning to a FRIGID house...about 50 degrees!! SO, after calling the repair guy to our house, it looks like Wes and I are buying his Aunt and uncle a new furnace for Christmas!!! MERRY F'IN CHRISTMAS!!! The best part of it is that it is a 30 year old furnace that this guys says has rarely (if ever) been serviced. So, take that as a lesson...have your furnace serviced!    Leanne about: casa de berg Berg, Since when do you have a roomate?   Leanne about: casa de berg ah yes, reservations at berg's...as of right now, you can count wes and I in for Friday and saturday. WE CALL THE GUEST BEDROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: stocking stuffers... Wait...we are doing stockings this year??!!! Oh crap! I give up on xmas already! Anyone want to rent my family for a week??!!!   Leanne about: Music Sorry to get back onto music...has anyone heard of the group Imperative Reaction? My coworker introduced me to them today. They kind of grew out of the whole Industrial rock/techno movement, and made it a little more techno and dancy. Pretty good...   Leanne about: New Topic I wanted to reach through the screen and punch Randal! I have liked him all along, up until that point. However, I do give him credit, because Trump was concerned that Randal was not "tough enough" for NYC. I think Randal did that to prove otherwise, and to throw Trump for a loop.   Leanne about: New Topic Ok, so this is for the few Apprentice watchers out there...what did you think of last nights results?!   Leanne about: back to baseball for a minute YES!!! Wes, I need a Cookie Crunch jersey!   Leanne about: Address I know, I know!!! And its NOT because of his name being Kelly!   Leanne about: Im back WOw, after three days in DC it is GOOD to be home! Those damned "southerners" are crazy! One inch of snow falls from the sky, melting within an hour, and everythig shuts down! None of the cab services would drive us to the airport because of "the weather"...PUSSIES!!!! Missed all of you crazy kids, and have been getting bdc updates from Wes. By the way Mr. Unlovable, AKA Mr. P (thanks Andy and Cathryn!) was dancing to "Its not Unusual" last night...he's got "The Carlton" down perfectly!   Leanne about: question... What was our first degree from Kent? Was it a Bachelor of Science? Fine and Professional arts?   Leanne about: College debts and broken dreams Good article, interesting timing. Our Mortgage pre-approval process begins tonight...BLAH!   Leanne about: new rant Thanks Bub...it looks like I am going to have to walk him through the steps this weekend! He is so cute when he's clueless, lol!   Leanne about: class I AM DONE!!! I'm DONE, DONE, DONE!! no more having to go to UB and teach stupid undergrads!! WOOHOO!!!! Now I just get to enjoy their stupidity and grade their work!! YAYA!!!!   Leanne about: 2 pac Yes! Cus its not as if they would get any less swearing at home! And honestly, thts the only way I will survive watching Barney!   Leanne about: Florence Thanks Mrs. English! That place looks perfect!   Leanne about: Florence I need a few Florence recommendations from you guys. 1. I need an affordable pensionne/hotel for my aunt and cousin to stay in for a few nights. 2. I need a NICE wedding-night-worthy hotel (for only one night), preferably not over-the-top expensive. Anyone have any suggestions? send me an email ...lanysturtle@hotmail.com. Thanks kids!!    Leanne about: Slacker-tude Congrats on the closing Biggie! Wes' aunt and uncle are getting anxious to sell the house. I cant blame them really...they live in London, and Buffalo isnt exactly a lucrative place to own property, esp. when you are renting it to family for super cheap! They alsways told us they would sell it when we were done with it...i guess we have been taking too long.   Leanne about: zzz "fermenting" is a funny word...esp when used to describe something as tasty as beer. I use fermenting alot when i describe to Wes how gross it is when he lays in our room at night, watching tv, and farting freely. By the time I get in the room after watching my cheesy tv shows, his farts have been "fermenting" for hours! Fermenting...funny word.   Leanne about: Slacker-tude Where is everyone? seriously, this has been a very weak representation of our slacker-ness. Where have the days gone where we used to debate, or argue, or even make fun of eachother all day? Anything fun happening out there? anything not fun? Oh yeah..Wes and I might get kicked out of our house in the next few months...sounds fun, doesnt it?!   Leanne about: Cubicle land By "critiquing" it, i mean he proclains how awesome said Bass line, or said drum solo is...even if it obvioulsy sucks!   Leanne about: Cubicle land I guess thts the big problem...this guy plays CRAP!!! if it was any of you crazy kids, i wouldnt mind so much, cus we all listen to fairly awesome music. Now, if one of you were to play a Mariah Carey Xmas song (sorry Gill) out loud, THEN critique it, then we would have a serious problem!   Leanne about: Cubicle land Seriously?! Does anyone else have morons in their office who feel the need to play their music outloud, despite working in Cubicle land?! Not only does this guy play it out loud, but he sits there and discusses the musical contents/merits of each instrument in the song with anyone who walks by!!!   Leanne about: Music Rox Wes...Kisses for the United Future Organization! Its bonerific!!   Leanne about: ski trip anyone? Doubtful!!!!    Leanne about: ski trip anyone? Yeah, $300/night sounds about right. It might have been $250. But, it will only be affordable if we have enough people. Holiday Valley has a ticket for $81 that allows you to ski from Saturday 8:30 am to Sunday 4:30pm   Leanne about: ski trip anyone? I wont be able to take a day off during the week to ski...have to save all of my sick/vaca for the wedding.   Leanne about: ski trip anyone? Wes' dad rented a GREAT place right in the Village. It was a whole house, so there are no "quiet hours", as there are at the Snowpine Lodge. it is walking distance to all of the bars and restaurants. IT can prob sleep Minimum of 10 people! We would have our own kitchen. Its not too far from skiing. We would have to drive to the ski resort, but its only a few minutes. I would rather be walking distance to a variety of bars, etc than walking distance to the slopes.   Leanne about: ski trip anyone? I am into it...i just wont have the sick/vaca time to take a day off. I might be able to pull off a half day. Financially, only if its super cheap.    Leanne about: sweeney Wes, i dont like you anymore...   Leanne about: music Electro jazz/funk stuff!!!!! Or some good ol' rock!   Leanne about: holidays I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen such quick movement in an animal than when Mr. p wants his dinner!   Leanne about: holidays Stupid computer....that last post was from me   Leanne about: The Voit Wedding Well, you guys are awesome! To think that this many people will travel that far...you guys rock. But wes and I need to throw out a disclaimer...don't break the bank to come! I think we should have these discussions over email, since not everyone on this site is going. But I am sooo glad that Brad started this discussion! I will start up an email list of those that have expressed interest so far. Our theory is this...its our goal in the next two weeks to get an apartment. We figure the flights will follow shortly after that, maybe in January. Its so easy to travel internationally nowadays, we arent getting too stressed about our flight (yet). Ok, i will start up an email list today   Leanne about: relocating NOT driver!   Leanne about: Music High Fives to those who have posted music over the last few weeks! Awesome selection...now give me more!!!!   Leanne about: Why i hate Mondays 1. Its the Monday after a three day work week...Blah! 2. I walk out to my car this am to leave for work, and I have a flat tire. 3. I have to drive Wes to work so i can use his truck all day. 4. I get to work (after a TON of traffic on the Thruway) 1h 45 mins late. 5. in that short time, 2 of my projects blew up in my face. 6. I have to teach a class today. I HATE MONDAYS!!!...PS...hope everyone had a tasty Thanksgiving!   Leanne about: Anyone out there?? Hey! Just thought I would drop in and say Hello to all of you suckers stuck at work (Just kidding)! Hope you guys all had a great Thanksgiving!   Leanne about: hello Happy 28th A-ron!!!! Abby, I wont be here on Friday, but maybe I will check in, just to keep you company!! and I am thankful that we have all survived this long, considering what we do to our bodies when we are together!!   Leanne about: Hello - anyone out there? Hey D! I am here! Anyone doing anything fun for Thanksgiving?   Leanne about: Berg Woops...those incredible levels that derek reached...Friday night, not Saturday. And i forgot the BEST highlight... Being completely paranoid and retarded while walking in to see Harry Potter! AWESEOME MOVIE!!!   Leanne about: Berg Happy Birthday Berg! And thanks to our awesome hosts this weekend! It was great fun, reliving highlights of the Crawl, for Dickey's sake! The highlights of the weekend...Sando's with fries (of course!), Derek reaching incredible levels on Saturday night, the full beer can tossing at 5am and Dickey taking shots from a midget dressed as Elvis and standing on a bar! GOOD TIMES!!   Leanne about: Ok Kiddlywinks..Im outta here. See some of you around 10!    Leanne about: Fireworks Dickey, I am just reiterating what Wes might say...We have fun times for you if you come through...trust us on this!!! LOVE YA!!   Leanne about: Is it time to drive to Pittsburgh yet??????   Leanne about: I Love Buffalo! First snow of the year!  Snow storm Leanne about: If I worked with Berg... I would wear multiple layers of shirts (tank top under the work shirt)or thick sweaters to prevent the nipplies from showing, and long pants EVERY DAY! ALthough, I am sure he would STILL find something to talk about and be perverted about, lol.   Leanne about: heat anyone? He's laying on top of the heating vent...not the actual heater. Although, that would be something to see to get home, not know where Mante is, and find him curled up on top of the heater in the basement!   Leanne about: heat anyone? Dont even get Wes and i started on the heating bills for our place! There are no storm windows on half of the windows, and any heat gets sucked right out! Each day when we come home in the winter, we find poor Mante laying on top of the heater cus its so cold! This morning he would only come out of his crate to eat, and then he went right back in, and started shivering! We are terrible parents!!   Leanne about: heat anyone? At work, I am always cold. I think the vent above my desk is constantly blowing cold air...its terrible! I have a think wool sweater, and a space heater! At home last night, wes and i felt a little cold, and when he checked the thermostat it was at 58!   Leanne about: FRIDAY!! Its Friday!! Its Harry Potter Day!! Its casual day at work!! Its "lets drive 4 hours to drink with friends" day!! WEEEEEE!!!!   Leanne about: HP I'm with ya on the DILF's. Although extremely rare, I have seen a few!   Leanne about: Cubicle land I hate working in Cubicle land! I want an office where I can close my door and not deal with loud-talkers, and talk-too-much talkers! I am going to go deaf, with my headphones turned up loud enough to drown out the noise!!! ARRGGHHH!!!    Leanne about: TV Character Wes, so sad...Sandy Cohen is the dad on the OC. I blame myself for you not knowing...   Leanne about: favor / I Nope...Sweetness is back in!   Leanne about: Snow um 8"...whatever!! Hamburg, NY has 2 feet!!   Leanne about: lost And, to call you out...are you seriously hanging out on Lost nerd websites?! WOW!!! Even I am not that bad...   Leanne about: lost Thank you Wes!!! That has seriously been bugging me since last night's "2 hour" episode   Leanne about: HP awesomeness! Awesome! I am soooo pumped. That popocorn will go SO WELL with the yumminess we will hopefully be consuming before we leave for the show, as well as the liquid magic in our pop!    Leanne about: 32!!! Nice Wes! LOL   Leanne about: Good story On a serious note...One of my friends from High School was on NBC nightly news last night, talking about an organization that he started to help children in Iraq. Please check it out ...its one of those "feel good" stories.  Click here Leanne about: 32!!! Wow Wes, 32"!!?? Where have you been hiding that for all of these years?!   Leanne about: this weekend Team Awesome consists of Me, Wes, Tony, Sweet J. We should get into town on Friday night, hopefully no later than 10.   Leanne about: Honeymoon/Trip PSA Seriously, you all should check out this site. its a Luxury travel site, covering destinations around the world. They have auctions on trip packages, and if you are lucky, you can find GREAT deals!!!   Coolest trips! Leanne about: monday...ugh So, on my way to teach this AM, i get a call from wes..."um, you know that Greece hotel package you emailed me about...well, um...I put in a bid, and noone has outbid us..." I am freaking out! WOAH!!!!! Man I hope this doesnt turn out like Nat'l Lampoons European Vacation! Sweeney...CONGRATS!! Thats awesome! Enjoy hightailing it out of there, and taking a few days off.   Leanne about: monday...ugh I agree Wes! I love Philly! SO much to do, esp. for crazy history buffs. I spent quite a bit of time there in High school, and would love to go back.   Leanne about: the blackalicious Wes just taped off the lines on the plywood and painted it with regular paint. Hoffman and Laura stained theirs with a dark stain...looks pretty cool.   Leanne about: Birthday Fun Happy Bday Cathryn and Bub!!    Leanne about: Nerds Hey history nerds! I found this fairly cool article about the Top 10 most underrated inventions.  Inventions Leanne about: job interview Good Luck Sweeney!   Leanne about: kid-fuckers Andy, I saw that one too! Unbelievable! What I couldnt get over was the fact that these morons were willing to be interviewed!   Leanne about: Karma Ok, fine. I have never said that those women were in the right...I thik most of the stuff the women on the video do does as much harm to the objectification of women/people as the men who buy the videos. That said, do you really honestly believe that the drunk chicks on those videos knew what they were signing? DO you think they were sober when they signed? Maybe some were, and I take issue with them. BUT someone had to put the camera in their face, and the pen and paper in their hand.   Leanne about: Karma No, he did not deserve to be raped...noone does. Fact is, he objectifies women, and makes money off of it. He is a pig, and a pervert in my book. I think the point of videotaping it, was to show him what it feels like to be objectified and treated like a non-person who is just there for someone elses entertainment/sexual gratification...I am ok with that part of this discussion. Pervs like him(and the people who give him money) make me sick. No woman deserves to be showcased like that...EVER.    Leanne about: Karma Berg, there is one statement that you made (Roge) that I really dont want to hear discussed again. Besides, Those two stories are entirely different, and there is absolutely no reason why those need to be compared.   Leanne about: BONER!!! I'm excited about this, but not enough to be worthy of two posts! stupid computer!   Leanne about: BONER!!! Oh my goodness...Abby, did you see this?!  Hottie McHottie Leanne about: BONER!!! Oh my goodness...Abby, did you see this?!  Hottie McHottie Leanne about: HP awesomeness! Abby, you and HP rock my world!!!!   Leanne about: structural engineer Or, whatever letters you crazy architects have after your name...i forget, lol   Leanne about: structural engineer Thts pisses me off too!!!! I hate when they refer to someone being the "architect of a play". IF YOU DONT HAVE AIA AFTER YOUR NAME YOU ARE NOT AN ARCHITECT!!! Why cant people get this straight! Laura, I would seriously report that arsehole. (i was in a slightly similar situation recently with a client and I didnt report it...i regret it now)   Leanne about: HP awesomeness! 11 might allow us to meet up with bar people (how long is the movie?). We should be in town by 10, so that should work.    Leanne about: new place yay Biggie! Can't wait to visit!   Leanne about: TOSCA I likey Tosca!!!   Leanne about: A/C Seriously??!!! It feels like the f'in AC is on in my office! Its november, give me some heat!!!!   Leanne about: HP Ok, so if the plan is to go to Pittsburgh the weekend of Nov. 19th, Abby and I want to go see Harry Potter on Saturday. Who is in?? We will buy tickets in advance (yes, we are dorks!), since it is opening weekend. Boys, if you dont want to admit it here on BDC, email me or Abby. I am guessing this will NOT be a completely sober excursion, if that peeks anyones interest!   Leanne about: Weekend ONE MORE HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: t-shirts We go through a local store. but one of our "new" local friends does screen printing on the side.   Leanne about: Fun Times So, were any decisions made about a Big-Time Fun weekend in November???   Leanne about: RadioShuffle Were you doing the dance? I would DEF have started the legs kicking out to the side dance...AWESOME!!!!   Leanne about: question Not a problem Dickey! I was just worried I didnt have your current address! Get back to me whenever you can...love ya!   Leanne about: Question Dickey, do you still use your porchkralr address? or does anyone else know?   Leanne about: Xmas party Wow, so maybe I shouldnt bitch, LOL!!! Donna, Gill how bout you guys come to my Xmas party as a guest! Noone will notice...they will all be drunk!   Leanne about: Xmas Party That sux!!! Ours is No kids, AND all of the employees and their "significant others" get cool gifts!   Leanne about: Xmas party So, i just received an invitation for our office Christmas Party. Open Bar, Buffet dinner...pretty cool! Problem is this...ITS ON A THURSDAY NIGHT!!!!! Who the F plans that?!   Leanne about: Strange news Wait...sorry, the LadyBug costume   Leanne about: Strange news Oh yeah, sorry wes...I would also include a pic of you...the one where you are wearing the Butterfly costume at Halloween a few years ago.   Leanne about: Video Aaron, Thank you for that! I Laughed alot!    Leanne about: Strange news Hmmm...interesting. A "collage of yourself". Sounds like an elementary school project! My collage would have a bottle of Bailey's, a US flag, a Canadian flag and a BBQ chicken finger sub! Oh yeah, and a pic of Mante (I am a dork!)   Leanne about: What is it with glue?!  Glue seat Leanne about: BIG weekend I just heard about that this am! Crazy Biatch! I guess the guy is in court, trying to get about $30,000 in damages. The Woman's lawyer is claiming that the Super Glue was part of their sex life. SEriously?! Super Glue...Sex?! Are there really people out there with a Super Glue fetish??!! If so, they should be introduced to the pain of Zappa gap and Quick tite!   Leanne about: big weekend I think that Saturday afternoon team "Potter" will head to the theatre and take in some magic!!!!   Leanne about: Work Sucks AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Sorry, just one of those days...I needed to vent a bit, and I dont have time to run outside and scream!!! I hate responsibility. I love ya Wes, but I need to find me a Sugar Daddy so I dont have to deal with this crap anymore!!!!   Leanne about: NASCAR Wes, we aren't speaking anymore   Leanne about: NASCAR Hillbilly, while i dont like NASCAR, i totally agree with your point about whether or not a "sport" is a sport. Yes, knitting takes skill, as all endeavors do. But, NASCAR, figure skating (yes I said it) and track are, in my book, all sports, because of the amount of physical and mental skill/talent that is involved. we can all learn how to knit, and we can all learn to skate, drive a car, or run around in circles. However, it takes a special individual with particular talents to compete in these sports.   Leanne about: at least i have hockey? Wes, we should pick a new "sport". maybe one that is not as exciting, that way we wont get into it as much. how bout Curling? or Archery? or NASCAR? or Figure Skating? Anything!!!!!   Leanne about: Browns are a joke! Football???!!! Whats that?! It's Hockey season!! GO SABRES!   Leanne about: Party Yes! I want to see pics!   Leanne about: Speed Racer In honor of Bubs costume...  game Leanne about: SERIOUSLY????!!!! I am thinking that the best use would be when I am out with Wes and he hits "liability levels". Or, when any of us go out...its almost like having a DD...one person does not get completely blatto so taht they can remote control everybody to their houses.   Leanne about: SERIOUSLY????!!!!   What's next?! Leanne about: Addresses Hey all...i need your help!! I need the following addresses if you are either that person, or know their address, please email me or Wes. THANKS!!! Jay Bullie, Meng and Pam, Nolde, Amy and Josh. A-ron and Dickey...what are your new addresses?   Leanne about: news Congrats Andy and Cathryn!!!! Can't wait to come visit!   Leanne about: fish Well then Wes, you should learn to stop talking with your mouth full of cock (esp. when you are sitting home all day!)   Leanne about: fish you know what Derek, i think you are right...Wes was mumbling when I called him, so I prob didnt hear him!!   Leanne about: A new law has been proposed in Rome Italy after word of the demise of Bill the Fish, who froze to death in a wall-hung fishbowl, finally reached the rest of the world.   Stragest Law ever Leanne about: Berg??? Berg...thats exactly why i said it was you. As soon as I read it, all I could think of was seeng that damned horse BJ video, and you laughing your ass off.   Leanne about: Berg??? Berg, are you still with us, and when did you move to Seattle???  WOAH!!!! Leanne about: Ruthless Inc. Ahhh, Sweeney. Do you really think that the three of them would actually accomplish anything if they had their own firm? Instead of drafting tables you would find Beer pong and Pool tables, as well as Bubble Hockey. Instead of a fridge, you would find a kegerator. and instead of a "waiting area" at the front of the office, you would find a darkly lit lounge. And when the three of them disappear for hours on end...be wary of a secret room somewhere in the walls of the office!   Leanne about: cheap fares Abby, Wes is handling that for us...he has been looking every week. Drop him an emakil if he doesnt respond on bdc.   Leanne about: Friday t-minus 7 hours until I leave Wes at the bar to find his own way home AND to find another 'gina to hang out with, esp. if he plans on puking on mine!   Leanne about: Friday YAY FRIDAY!!! Now Hurry up and be 5:00 already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone up to anything fun this weekend?   Leanne about: Hell no!!!! Woman has 16th child!!!! GOOD LORD!!!  Ouch Leanne about: Halloween Costume Does your Speed Racer costume at least involve a disgustingly obvious camel toe similar to your Space Ghost ?!   Leanne about: halloween party at beckys Wes and I have been slackers...no costumes yet this year...usually I have it all figured out by now :-(   Leanne about: Responsibility L is Laura, not Leanne! LOL Leanne has yet to post on the responsibilty issue.    Leanne about: Not Gay Ok...Glad I got that off my chest! Sorry bout that...the whole wedding industry sucks!   Leanne about: Not Gay This is how I feel about bridal Expo's...BLAH!!! As if the whole process isnt stressful enough, brides feel obligated to drag themselves to these things, only to be shuffled about from vendor to vendor, and end up more stressed out in the end! I left two Bridal shows in complete shock! I had to take a wedding break after each one. The only bonus...free cake! The worst part...all of those "free trips" you submit your name for. Little does everyone know that ALL of the brides will have their name drawn. Who wins it just depends on who shows up at the "luncheon" to hear the sales pitch about cookware or timeshares! Double BLAH!!!   Leanne about: berg See below for my eric names. Wes, I like Jerk Kirk...lol. Mante Spumante..a sparkly, bubbly pug.    Leanne about: hello Hairy Larry   Leanne about: hello Stevey McSceevy, Pervy Percy, Icky Eric   Leanne about: Grocery storgasm. "vibrating bullet in the panties"...AWESOME!   Leanne about: Pick up girls! Hey boys here is an article about a book some guy wrote about picking up girls. Note to Berg: I am sure being a perve is not an option! Although, amazingly enough, that often seems to work for you!  chicks Leanne about: I say we just give in, and accept that there are witches and wizards in this world, and ask them if they would be willing to supply us with their "Flue Powder" or "Appartion" technology. Maybe we could pay a toll to them each time we use their technology to zip around the world and get drunk together.   Leanne about: I NEED THIS!!! Tony Little is HOT (umm..ok...who is putting words into my mouth!)   My new Boyfriend Leanne about: back to the grind Welcome back English family! Glad you had a wonderful trip! Can't wait to hear your fun stories (PG-rated, R-Rated, whatever!) We all had so much fun at your wedding...all of the weddings next year have alot to live up to! Way to set the bar!!!   Leanne about: Assistance needed!! Hey kids! I need some help...I am looking for a GOOD QUALITY digital pic of the Florence skyline. It should include Palazzo Vecchio as well as the Duomo. I am searching my resources through UB, but I thought I would try you guys too. IF you do have something, please just email it to me...lanysturtle@hotmail.com. THANKS!!   Leanne about: baseballs I know how you feel Abby. Although, I will say that I start to get into the race at the end of the season. So, i might be able to find some enjoyment in the last few innings of the games this weekend!   Leanne about: WOAH!!!! Kantz, i couldnt agree more! If that kid chooses to play football, I am sure he is prepared for the consequences if he were to get hit by the overweight 250 lb high schooler. He wants to be treated the same as everyone else, so treat him the same. If he can keep up, then great. if he sucks, and he is only on the team cus people feel sorry for him, then he should not be on the team. but if he has proven himself over and over again, then he has the right to be treated like every other player, regardless of how that player would "feel" if they hurt a legless dude. And yes, you should have let the girl win...think of all of the tail you might have gotten from all of the girls who thought you were being sweet and sensitive. Although, I might have been one of those people laughing at you.    Leanne about: WOAH!!!!   All I can say is WOW Leanne about: Donna, i think you and I are single-handedly supporting bdc today!   Leanne about: ENglish wedding! LOL! My water almost came out of my nose when i saw that pic yesterday!!! I think Sweeney offers an "explanation" in a post from yesterday.   Leanne about: hotmail Donna...the hotmail server has been driving me crazy all morning...how am i supposed to get thru my day without hotmail???!!!!!   Leanne about: ENglish wedding! LOL, the photographers reaction was priceless! I can just imagine how confusing things must have been for that photographer...I am sure, with the way we all act towards eachother, that he wasnt sure who the couples were, and if everyone was straight, gay or just somewhere in between!    Leanne about: Where is everyone? are we that sick of eachother that we can't even post on bdc?!! Hey, when's the next drunk fest?   Leanne about: Abby, try going through the home page of the site. I just did it that way, and it worked.  try this Leanne about: ENglish wedding! CRAP! cant get on either   Leanne about: ENglish wedding! Curious...no, i didnt yesterday or last night. I will try it again.   Leanne about: ENglish wedding! NUMBER 555!!! WTF!!!!   Leanne about: ENglish wedding! Ok, so I am bored! I found a link to Andy and Cathryn's wedding pics on their photographers website  Wedding of the Century Leanne about: OC rocks I hope you guys have been keepin up on the OC! So far, its off to a slow start :-( Check out this new OC videogame...  Bonerific! Leanne about: Reality TV Rocks! Ok, so maybe not in the US...but check out this new show in the Netherlands!  Inject & Swallow Leanne about: Now that WOah! Abby, thats crazy...where did you find that?! Its fun to toss her around the screen, and take out my angst on her!   Leanne about: Football Season How I feel: Baseball season...Blah! Basketball season...One million Blah's! Hockey season...Yay! College Football season...couldn't care less! Pro-Football Season...ROCKIN!!!   Leanne about: KOL, domani I just talked to Whitacre. She saw The Features and KOL last year, and said they are an awesome combo! The Features are suppoesd to be as energetic as KOL. I hate you all for getting to go!!! Ok, maybe not hate...I am just so jealous it hurts!   Leanne about: Music Trivia part duex Abby, you rock my world!   Leanne about: the week grinds to an end just to warn ya berg...just spoke to Biggie...he hasnt left yet! But, he is reeeal close! I leave in 45 mins, so I will see you suckers tonight/tomorrow!   Leanne about: Funtimes Are we really going to do this allover again this weekend?!!

It said it will be drunk & waiting for you to catch up!   Leanne about: iPod Saw this commercial for the newest iPod product. (video and sound)  Music Leanne about: FLW Hey, Here is an article about one of the Frank Lloyd WRight houses here in B-Lo...the Martin House. It is under restoration right now. Its something to check out when its done next year. Think Robie house x alot!  Martin House Leanne about: football/wedding Wes and I are planning on leaving in time to get home and watch the Bills game. Maybe everyone could converge on a BW3 (or other sports bar) in B-lo. That way, noone is getting up super early. Checkout is at noon. If we leave at 11:30, that should give us enough time to get to B-lo...just an option.   Leanne about: hurricane weirdness So, last night my dad sent me a link showing the National Weather Service Radar imaging of hurricane Ophelia. I cant stop looking at it...its surreal, watching this giant storm sit on top of my mom and dads house! I dont know how I feel about that! I dont know about you, but I would take 7' of snow over a Hurricane anyday!!   Leanne about: lady with no arms!!! What a thought! the pants up and down thing has me boggled!   Leanne about: lady with no arms!!! I am sure she can manage...did you see her at the drive through window??? If she can do that, I am sure she can find a way to reach around.   Leanne about: Abby, can we cuddle????   Leanne about: Bars in Geneseo Here is a link to bars. I think the InBetween was the one we have been to before.  Funtimes Leanne about: uh There are a few bars in the "downtown" part of Geneseo, along their main street (not sure of name) Its a college town, so there are def. bars. I seem to recall one with pool tables and foosball.    Leanne about: uh Geneseo is one hour+ past B-lo, so 3/3.5 hours, plus 1 hour = 4-4.5 hours. Since we are talking comp. programs...Does anyone have a copy of Microsoft publisher???   Leanne about: wedding HA! Good Luck with that one!   Leanne about: Wing T Yes, that "whale tale" was hilarious. DO you think she noticed me pulling you guys over there and pointing it out to you??? Nah!!! We weren't drunk at all! LOL.   Leanne about: love All of this love can be summed up by a quote from Andy. After proclaiming to me what a great guy Wes was, and how I should never break up with him, he said "If Wes ever wanted a kiss on the lips...i would give him one" It was great to get/be drunk with all of you guys...its been a while! Sweeney...its great to finally put a face to the name! Can't wait to do this allover again in 5 days!   Leanne about: Fun TImes Have fun this weekend boys...I may see some of you tonight, or on sunday. The rest of you...see you next weeekend!!! PS...if anyone needs to find me, just listen for someone screaming Abby and Steph's names in ecstacy!   Leanne about: OC Speaking of the OC...what did you guys think? Did the premiere suck you in for another high intensity team drama? I know that as I watched the OC, i felt my life outside of work crumble, upon the realization that sooo many other shows are about to premiere!!!   Leanne about: Golf Etiquette...nice try though Wes. Now go back to cuddling the pug!!!   Leanne about: Berg Hey Berg, whats your address?   Leanne about: A I forgot about OC!!! Awesome! can't wait to start wasting away in front of the TV once all my shows start.   Leanne about: Weekend IS IT FRIDAY YET??????? I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE! THIS IS THE LONGEST 4-DAY WORK WEEK EVER!!!!!   Leanne about: Laundry is awesome! So, I am sitting here in the "coolest laundromat in the world". And no, I have not been to many laundromats in my life. But I will bet money that this would be the coolest. THe ONLY fallback is it does not have a bar. I am in the "library" area...a wall of books (including one called "I am a Pencil",and a "Guide to Home Repair") a wall of 12 tvs, modern furniture, fireplace, and free internet! Out in the machine area youi will find flat screens tvs mounted everywhere! Not to mention arcade games, a coffee shop with deserts and sandwiches...need i go on?! Everyone should come here and do their laundry! and the best part...its in Buffalo, and its called the "Lake Effect Laundromat". Coolest place ever!!!   Leanne about: Team Richmond Nice wes...maybe we should coordinate before we post anything, lol   Leanne about: Team Richmond's Plan Friday night I will drop off the old ball and chain, and our larger, less hairy son at Berg's.

In N. TOnawanda (just outside of downtown B-lo) the cost of gas at one station was $4.40!!!!   Leanne about: What the gas price near your office? Ok, so i had to run an errand for work. The station taht wes noticed is still 3.85...a mile down the road its 3.49. Hmmm...can we say price gouging?!   Leanne about: What the gas price near your office? Wes just called me to tell me that the gas station near my offic is up to 3.85 for regular!! WTF...I think I might walk home. Do ya think pedestrians are allowed on the highway??    Leanne about: Mullet sighting THERE'S A MULLET IN MY OFFICE!!!! That just made my friday!   Leanne about: and before anyone calls me on it, YES, I am a nerd for posting as my dog...   Leanne about: Concerns Bub: my screename is lanysturtle. Looks like we will be doing B-lo's drafting from our place. Berg: yes, we ARE the coolest nerds ever!!!!   Leanne about: Concerns Nerds...you're ALL nerds!!!   Leanne about: Labor Day Wes, You're giving out BJ's?!! SWEET, I'll be there...save one for me!   Leanne about: Labor Day I only bring this up because Biggie mentioned it...Is anyone coming to the Labor Day party? We dont expect anyone from out of town to come, (since you were all here for STD) but the question is worth asking. It will be fun times for all!   Leanne about: Fun Times! Read this article  Should I move to Amsterdam? Leanne about: Hey Abby Abby, can you ask Bub to post the Labor Day flyer when he gets a chance?    Leanne about: haircut Thats awesome! Whenever I see someone with a mullet I ask myself what hairstylist in their right mind would give somone that cut?! And are there really people out there who will give someone a mullet?! When I get my haircut i often rely on the stylist for advice, knowing that they wont steer me wrong! Wow, a fresh mullet!!! nice! Wes and I saw a guy this weekend with a LOOOOONG mullet that went all the way past the middle of his back! It was glorious!   Leanne about: Drinking Abby!! you are quoting KOL...does this mean you have spent some time listening?? Whats the verdict?   Leanne about: we need conversations!!! ummm, yeah...BITE ME!   Leanne about: H YES!!!

I know, but cant remember...brain fart!   Leanne about: WEEKEND Oh yeah,And thanks for the hospitality Andy and Cathryn. We had a blast!!! got home last night at midnight as a result of traffic (stupid New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut vacationers) and end of the world type rain storms!   Leanne about: WEEKEND I should add to this story that as Andy entered the house to do away with the bat he was screaming "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!! GET OUT!!! YOU CANT BE IN HERE!!!" cus, you know, the bat should then say "Oh gee, sorry i entered into your home, strange angry creature that is screaming like a woman". I will admit though, that I was not "brave". I was just too drunk to have any depth perception to realize the thing was flying right for us. Besides, I was laughing too hard at Wes.   Leanne about: 5:00 IS THIS DAY OVER YET??!!! NO??!! WELL IT NEEDS TO BE!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!! Wow, cant wait to get in the car and drive 4 hours to Albany! yippee!!!   Leanne about: podcasts anyone? To ask a dumb questions...what are podcasts? I assume it has something to do with ipods? but since I dont own one, i dont get the jargon.   Leanne about: Lost and found? Yes, Berg we have those too...I was just not going to mention them and hope noone claimed them! LOL.    Leanne about: Lost and found? Yes Thews, its at our house. Along with a pair of dark green sunglasses. All in all, not bad everyone! Usually we have a whole pile of "lost & found" items after a party weekend.   Leanne about: Work Sucks I like when his right eye is still atttached, but bouncing allover the place!   Leanne about: Work Sucks How often do we all feel like doing this?!  Love Your Job! Leanne about: Blah...weekend hangovers suck! mornin! I cant believe that I actually feel worse today than I did yesterday. Someone hit me in the face with a sleepy bat on the way to work! I just cant stay awake...no amount of coffee will help! i am ready for the weekend...NOW!!!   Leanne about: Why I hate people...my vent for the day! Ha! well, at least that might make you feel a BIT better about the scratch if the culprit bit it and got some road rash...or maybe even a handle bar to the crotch! (sorry, i am mean...weekend hangovers make me mean!)   Leanne about: Why I hate people...my vent for the day! Wow! Obviously people in Pittsburgh suck too!!!!    Leanne about: Why I hate people...my vent for the day! To add to it, my driver side mirror was torn off by a plow this winter!!! I cant wait to have a driveway!!!   Leanne about: Lets get ready to rumble!!!!! Thanks! Bub, you can remove kings of leon from the ftp site.   Leanne about: Lets get ready to rumble!!!!! Bub...where?   Leanne about: Why I hate people...my vent for the day! ARRGGHHH!!! People suck! I innocently parked my car in the street all weekend, without a second thought. Wouldn't you know it that I find out today that same assmunch backed into the front of my car!!! They bent my front grill enough that the hood is now bent. I can fit my fingers under the hood in a few spots!! The middle of the front bumber is not lightly scratched, but scratched to hell! Now, if i were in the assmunches shoes, i would hope that I would be man/woman enough to balls up and leave a note, or try to find out who owns the car. Maybe I wouldnt, who knows. Regardless, I am pissed and will be on the lookout for a rear bumper with burgundy paint on it! PEOPLE SUCK!!! I WANT TO PUNCH!!!   Leanne about: Anybody alive out there? Bub,sorry to bug you about this so early. But pleeeeeeease (if you can!) post the dance off videos soon...i must relive that moment!   Leanne about: Anybody alive out there? I am alive...but barely! Wow, is today rough! Abby I have to concur...Dance off and KickBall were the highlights. My sides still hurt from laughing so hard Sat. night. Thanks everyody for making it "easy" to have 20+ people in my house for a few days! People look at me funny when I say I had that many people come into town, but if they knew you guys, they wouldnt have to question my sanity! (or would they?!)   Leanne about: zzzz CIAO Kiddies! I am off to a meeting and will not return. Safe drive to everyone, and if i dont see you tonight, see you tomorrow! WEEEEEEEEE PS...Turdlets are no good...just plain no good. Now, is it worse to see leftover turdlets from a stranger, or someone you know? Would you rather know who the culprit was?   Leanne about: I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Leanne about: Kisses! Thanks Cathryn! Looks like I might be giving out lots of kisses to my friends!!   Leanne about: CAD Thanks! more kisses!   Leanne about: CAD Hey Berg, would you happen to still have an old syllabus from when you taught CAD? I have to put together a syllabus and I have no idea where to start! If you do, can you bring it this weekend?   Leanne about: Boobs Well Dr. Berg, I will say this...I think this is the first time in all of the time that I have known you where I have actually been flattered and not offended by one of your boob dissertations! I will give you kisses tonight!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! They each slept in different rooms! I think they were weirded out by the animal magnetism that they were giving off, so they had to put barriers in place! But, when i came downstairs this am, it was to find Mante sleeping on the couch with Thews, so maybe they made a night of it!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! Yeah, I would totally quit too! After an evening spent at my parents "club" this weekend, i decided I need to be a trophy wife! Wes should win the lottery so I can get a boob job, a personal trainer, a "pool boy", a huge ass house, a nice car and TONS of sparklies! Trophy wives have it made! All they have to do is look pretty and put out!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! Dont do too much baking, cus we have to have at least 2 people sober for the drive back to colden Although, I am sure leftovers will be shared throughout the weekend! Midnight is fine...i will pass the word onto Wes. By the way. Just to make all of us feel sooo much better about our workday, Wes, Thews, A-Ron and D-Rok slept until 11:30! JERKS!!!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! I am glad I dont have to deal with work tomorrow! HA! the only thing I will have to deal with is surviving the heat and whatever "surprise" Dickey has cooked up for us!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! No, and its not 5:00 today either!!! I need this day to be over so i can either go to The Square and drink meself silly, or go home and sleep meself silly! 4 hrs of sleep+ 9 hrs of work= WORST EVER!!!    Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! If we cant get it to work, I will make sure we play it for you this weekend! Here's their website...they have a few videos  kol Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! yeah, they do have a security feature. Wes found that this has been the most difficult cd to burn. YOu can only get the burned copies to work on certian computers...its f'ed up. I was hoping it didnt carry over when I uploaded it...bummer   Leanne about: STD Hey all, for those of you who will be joining us in COlden, and want to grill. We will get dogs and burgers and some sides. if you want something else, bring it along.   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! KOL's latest album, "Aha Shake Heartbreak" is on ftp site. This is my first attempt at doing this, so let me know if it doesnt work. Word to the wise: Dont even TRY to understand the lyrics, unless you have time to find them online and read along!   Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! If i knew how to load it, I would...lemme try to figure that out!    Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Frickin' awesome concert! We didnt get back from Toronto until 1:30, but it was worth it! I cant hear, I cant speak...YES!!!!    Leanne about: TIME TO ROCK!! Hey kiddies, im outta here! Time to rock out! Hopefully i will be coherent enough when I get to work tomorrow to tell you all about it!   Leanne about: Today I wish I was one of those people...somehow I have to make it to work on time tomorrow!   Leanne about: Today I have officially labeled today as "the longest day in human history". WHEN WILL IT BE TIME TO ROCK?!   Leanne about: time 823 richmond ave...do you need directions from crapchester?   Leanne about: time We are going out to Colden area around lunch. We will be at sculpture park all afternoon, and then will be at Wes' dads house after that. So you should come straight to his dads house. Will you be posting the directions?   Leanne about: time We'll be around. Maybe not at the house, but in the neighborhood. So give us a call when you get through the B-lo tolls.   Leanne about: rants OH WOW! I would have punched him! I was flipping through a JCPenney flyer, and it had women models with their collars popped!!!!!!! ARRGGHH!!! stupid people.   Leanne about: rants "popping" the collar would be the new trend of flipping up the collar of your golf shirt so it stands straight up. Its uber chic!    Leanne about: rants oh! i have a subject...Guys who "pop" their collars...DISCUSS!!   Leanne about: time, me? Wes had one today at lunch. its not two words in one, but its still pretty terrible. Supposevly..trying to say Supposedly. Now where is there a V in that word?! Sorry wes, it just cracks me up. Start on my Canadian/Scottish heritage if you must!   Leanne about: fur thong I imagine Wes and the boys will be leaving for the Square around 5/5:30. If you miss their departure, i will be home after 6, and will head Downtown to meet them.   Leanne about: fur thong Ah yes, right you are Dickey!    Leanne about: come on! How many times in a row do I have to listen to KOL before I am considered crazy? will the words start making sense at that point???   Leanne about: a large thong Hell no! Biggie is all about the Chewbacca thong..his mom keeps making them for him out of his old hallowe'en costume   Leanne about: KOL I am only silent because I am preparing for the KOL concert! I am in DEEP concentration! Rockin out to KOL while drafting is wicked cool!!!   Leanne about: std How bout you guys bring SUITS instead of SUITES!   Leanne about: STD Alicia, I didnt think you guys would fit it, what with Large and Tela in your car. If you can fit it, great. If not, dont worry. Besides, We only have room in our backyard for one game at a time...I think that event was scheduled for B-Lo and not Colden.   Leanne about: STD Who is bringing cornhole? Bub? brad/biggie, did you guys make cornhole? who can fit it?   Leanne about: Fun Slide YES Sue!!!!! That would be awesome!   Leanne about: NIN DOesn't work for me either   Leanne about: directions to colden Do you guys want maps for the directions?   Leanne about: directions to colden If you guys want maps to match the directions, I am bored at work and could throw something together, so just let me know.   Leanne about: not so sunny toronto No, I dont think she can make it. I would love it if she could! Maybe I will bug her about it again, LOL.   Leanne about: not so sunny toronto KOL attendees: A-ron, Thews, D-Rok, Wes, Leanne, Sean (wes' bro) and his friend, Elizabteh (my friind from toronto) and her friend...is there anyone else? We will have 7 people leaving from B-lo.    Leanne about: sunny colden NY Sweet...Mante will be pumped! Thews and Tela in the same place as him...he's gonna "explode"!!!   Leanne about: suuny colden NY Alicia, Are you guys bringin Tela? she is definitely a welcome member of the C-Bus contingent!!! Camping stuff, beer and snacks is a great start. Wes and I will let everyone know if there is anything else!   Leanne about: Monday HARVEY'S BOO FRICKIN YAH!!!!! Yes, yes , Yes. Wes, you know the way to a girls heart.   Leanne about: Monday that should say "delayed"   Leanne about: Monday Worst Monday ever! I think this is the most painful monday I have ever experienced! My plane from North Carolina was delated and I did not get in until after 1am...so by the time I got home, and into bed it was almost 3. I want to kill myself! yEs, I did sleep in to catch up...but it wasnt enough...i feel like HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!! argggh. I would feel so much better about this if this was a result of doing something fun last night! Thats my monday morning vent for you all. I WANT IT TO BE WEDNESDAY!!! PS...People in the south are WEIRD...the south scares me!   Leanne about: aaaaaaaah I would go over & slap him, duct tape his mouth shut, then steal his snack and sit in front of him, munching on the snack in the most obnoxious way. Make sure you right in front of his face when chewing.   Leanne about: directions to colden Wes will be providing directions shortly I am so excited for next weekend!!! Oh, and I thought i would rub this in..HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I am outta here for the weekend at 5...boo yah! North Carolina, here I come!   Leanne about: STD Tentative schedule is as follows: Wed night: KOL in Toronto Thursday: Leanne works, and boys clean house. GO to "The square" for free concert (no idea who is playing...does not matter!) Friday: Sculpture park early afternoon. Arrive in Colden at Danny V's house to cook out, bonfire, and play some games. Horseshoes, Volleyball, etc. Sat: Leave Colden around lunch, play kickball in B-Lo. The rest of the day will be filled with Skittles for money (maybe), Cornhole, Beer pong, maybe darts. We will finish the night at Coles (go figure!) Sunday: RECOVER/Drive home   Leanne about: name Yeah, if there is one traditional element to our wedding its the whole name-cahnge thing. Wes will officially take my last name the second we land back in the US...just kidding. Cathryn, wes is also adamant about me changing my name...it sounds like such a hassle! I had to go to the SS office last week to get my new card, cus of my citizenship. I had to take time off of work, and all that crap. Knowing the whole time i was doing it taht I would have to come back next year and do the same thing. Silly traditions!   Leanne about: name Woah! Thats too weird! Esp. before the wedding! THe nerve! LOL...i might have slapped her...only because it would have freaked me out so much! A guy at work asked me today if i was one of those " crazy liberal women" who refuse to take my husbands (giggle, giggle...so strange to even type that word!)last name. I almost told him yes, cus of the way he asked me! But thts the first time outside of my freinds that I have talked about my new name...so weird!   Leanne about: Shatner So, i was driving back to the office after lunch, and switch the radio to my fave Toronto station (also called "The Edge"). And what do I hear but Shatner's "Common People" It was hilarious! I cant say it was great music, but it made my drive back to work much easier. It is not something you expect to hear on the radio! Toronto stations rock!   Leanne about: funtimes KOL! KOL! KOL! One week!!!!!! The next week is gonna be sooooo slow! By the way...Wes and I decided last night that he wins the Dorkiest Friend award! You will all learn why at STD    Leanne about: If I had a nickle for every time... Not to burst any shit-talking bubbles, but we will prob have different teams for each event. The shit talking can still happen of course, but on an event-by-event basis. If anyone thinks that should be different...discuss!   Leanne about: site update yeah, come up everyone! where are you? no funny stories from this weekend? nothin too fun or exciting here, except we are already prepping the house for KOL/STD...cant wait! is it next wednesday yet?!   Leanne about: back to dorkiness for a minute Ha! Thats hilarious...I think Andy might win the "Dorkiest friend" award!   Leanne about: hockey Well, congrats Bub...you suck!   Leanne about: nickle pretty cool design. I read all that mumbo jumbo about the history behind the new design. Frankly, I dont think its a coincidence that this Buffalo image appears on a coin the same year that Team B-Lo declared victory over Team suck!   Leanne about: harry potter I did! I did! I was all Depeche last night...just ask Wes. Abby, you can take my copy home when you come up for STD. From the research I did, the paperback doesnt usually come out until a year after! at least thats the way it was with the other books.   Leanne about: Tomato Residue you know, sometimes the residue left on the bread after you remove the disgusting tomato really ruins the sandwich! Especially when you ask them for NO TOMATOES!!!! Way to ruin my day Tim horton's!!   Leanne about: Dorky habits Thews, I seem to remember the first time I saw you at the "Honors College" scheduling thingie before freshman year. I recall you being clad in a purple? letterman's jacket that had Track and maybe X-Country scrolled across the back. Now, being a former Track and X-C dork myself, would that not qualify you in the dork category?!   Leanne about: harry potter Berg, you're too funny!   Leanne about: harry potter and yes, I AM a Dork!   Leanne about: harry potter I am soooo close to being done...only 150 more pages to go! I almost want to go home early and finish it so I can get this "shocking" ending over with!   Leanne about: KOL and wedding Heres the dirt: for KOL we will be leaving BY 6. That gives us enough time to deal with border and traffic, and finding the place. opening band goes on at 8. Wedding: Wes and I will be leaving midday on Friday, cus Wes has to be there for rehearsal. we have a hotel room with the Stallkamp's. Anyone flying in...B-LO is a great option, and it is right off I-90 so someone can pick you up along the way. Or, Wes and I can fit up to three people in our car if you want to leave friday afternoon. I dont know where the Crapchester airport is in relation to Geneseo. Chips: Best show ever! I would go see that movie! T-shirts: They will only be $10 and are super sweet!!! They are definitely wear-again shirts! Thats my sales pitch...now email wes!   Leanne about: Hey Voit Thewsy, Wes and I just discussed this idea, and I LOVE IT! I will just have to crawl to work on Thursday morning, or go in late...no problems there! And dont worry, Wes looks for reasons to take off work! KOL! KOL! You and your lovely ladies (cristen AND aaron) are certainly more than welcome to crash at Von Pugsley Arena as long as you need to!   Leanne about: friday IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW!!!! I AM A MORON!    Leanne about: friday Damn! I did that wrong!  Proof Leanne about: friday   http://www.freedict.com/onldict/onldict.php Leanne about: friday Yes Bub, you would be right, Berg would be wrong (unless of course the italian english dictionary I found online is wrong). "sans" means "without"   Leanne about: Get Well Feel better Cathryn!!!! Andy, make sure you take care of your sweet Bride-to-be!!!    Leanne about: site update Bub, I personally like the reorganization. You are right...it is less jumbled, and, I think, more user friendly. Abby, i think the fave pic is a great idea! What if we tried a new color combo...like a navy blue background...or all text/backgrounds in one color, but different shades... or do completely contrasting colors. I like the simple black white and red...there is a reason that many teams/companies use those colors...but lets try something new...who has thoughts on that?   Leanne about: site update I like the changes! What about a different color scheme? something obnoxious, yet pleasing to the eye. No ideas yet...but I will let you know! I like the logo, but what if you had a contest for those of us who are bored at work to design/update the logo, or the website background.   Leanne about: musac Lemon Jelly...two thumbs up!   Leanne about: zzzz Yeah, crazy day! I dont think we really have any set times for STD events. They will just happen as we get to them. While Danny V.'s backyard has lights on the volleyball court, i am not sure the lights hit the horseshoe pit. After drinking all day, I dont think horseshoes in the dark is a good idea! We will prob just play the whole night by ear. glad you decided to show!!!!   Leanne about: HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for a half day today!   Leanne about: Thews adn Cristen Bling GOOD GOD!!! that is such a beautiful ring!!!!! Great job Thewsy!   Leanne about: stupid fuckin terrorists Thanks Andy...I have been thinking about them all morning...Man, this is f'in scary!    Leanne about: musac Wes and I just rented that..."Wow" is about the only word that comes to mind. The political satire made me giggle! And it certainly helped that we were 150% pied at the time!!! I will have to say it has the best soundtrack ever! LOL. "montage..." "America, F**k Yeah!" Great July 4th movie!   Leanne about: Hump Day Wednesdays suck, even when the week is short! ARRGGHHH!! someone entertain me...ring pics, silly pics, fun articles, witty banter!! LETS GO!!!   Leanne about: This week in Thews history YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! COngrats!! When did this happen??? Details, I need details!!!!!!   Leanne about: H and friggin M!! I am soooo jealous! I know what we are doing the next time I am in Pittsburgh! WOOHOO!    Leanne about: Good eats Thanks D-Rok! OUr friends Mike and Lisa (that would be Mike of the infamous "Best-Dart team ever" formed on Comp weekend) are goin to FLorence for a few days during their honeymoon, and are looking for good places to eat.   Leanne about: Potter I am all for the paperback, cus I have all the other books in paperback, so now I am going to have a random HP book in hardcover. I just couldnt wait!! Oh well, such is the addiction that is Harry Potter   Leanne about: Potter I will be one of those crazies at the book store! I reserved it two months ago, at a discounted price...I am so pumped!   Leanne about: Develope this......update Hey guys, below is a link from the NY times about the project we are proposing. The design isnt the greatest, and it is still a work in progress. If you actually have the ny times at your office, there is a rendering of the proposal in the paper.  Renaissance Village Leanne about: wedding date? Funny you should ask about our wedding dates. They are finally set in stone! No turning back now! Our Happy Fun-Times Celebration/Reception (still working on the name!) will be in B-lo on June 24, at Pearl Street Grill. So bring your drinkin hats, and Thews, bring your dancin shoes! The ceremony will be in FLorence (yes, we really are pulling this off) on Thurs. May 11. Now for our disclaimer: you are all to feel NO OBLIGATION to come to our ceremony. In fact, we would actually discourage it. The cost is high for a 20 minute ceremony! We went into this knowing that by mking this decision, we would have to be willing to accept that many people would not be able to come. And we are ok with that. WHile we would love be surrounded by everyone we love, we would much rather have you all spend/save the money on yourselves, and then show up at our party, and drink all the boozes you can stomach!    Leanne about: Loooong Weekend just cus Bub brought it up...what is everyone doin this weekend? Can i live vicariously through you? We have no definite plans :-(   Leanne about: traffic circles HA! nice andy! My water almost ended up allover my comp screen!   Leanne about: what you all fail to realize... not to say that you dont work with developers, or understand what this is like. but, what an Urban Designer/architect (and you know i speak from experience) sees of the development world can be entirely different from seeing it from the civil/site design and layout side   Leanne about: what you all fail to realize... Derek, the developers/planners you know of must be rich, cus it is grossly expensive, and a huge risk to do an entire project without phases. TO generalize and say that planners/developers are lazy and uncreative is easy to say when you arent in that world day to day. We have many developers we work with who are willing to try new things, and it is our job as planners to be creative and help them do this in a smart way. yes, sprawl sucks, and yes, what I do promotes sprawl, but we are trying to make changes, and influence developers to stop maintaining the "status quo" and approach suburbs from a different direction. I am not, in any way promoting sprawl. The fact of the matter is, its what the American public wants, and we provide that service. Yes, at times it is an uncreative and disdainful process, but we make the best of it.    Leanne about: what you all fail to realize... Derek, there are so many houses taht this will have to be phased. the idea would be to find a temproary residense for those who will buy back into the developemnt. Once taht phase would be done, we can move them into the houses, then those that are being moved by the second phase will move into first phase (if they want) and so on. The housing stock in the surrounding area is not that bad, and there are always tons of houses for sale/rent that people could move into. Most of the subdivisions we do are in phases.   Leanne about: Teaching hey guys, I was offered, and have accepted an Adjunct professor position at UB. I would be teaching AutoCAD to planning students. Basically, the Planning school offers no course like this, and these kids need AutoCAD, even in the planning world. I would be teaching them all the basics, starting from "this is how you open Autocad"! ANy of you who have taught classes have any advice? I bought a great book that has some exercises, and good info, but I am not sure how to approach any of this. Email me if you guys have any thoughts! THanks!   Leanne about: what you all fail to realize... Very true Bub, thats what scares me so much about this, the coruption potential. We have a project in this area that could ptentially be incredible for the area. Unfortunately, it can only happen if several hundred houses are torn down. It would generate an incredible amount of tax money, in an area already murdered with high tax rates. Some of this area is "blighted" (by the way, who determies Blight...where is that dividing line) but the citizens dont think so. Its going to be a battle, and I am torn. I know this would be an awesome opportunity for a New Urbanist development in this area, but I dont think it has to be done at the sake of hundreds of lives. Problem is, there is NO WAY these people would be able to afford to move back into the new neighborhood, even with all of the "help" the developer will provide. This ruling now makes it easier for this development to happen, but what I cant decide is whether or not this is a good thing...I guess the next few years will tell us.   Leanne about: Planning Board thats late nights, not months   Leanne about: what you all fail to realize... Traffic circles rock, and the reason so many people are against them is because they are middle aged housewives who are terrified of driving their beautiful SUV through such a confusing place. They are awesome...they keep traffic calm, and they keep it moving...yay for traffic circles and roundabouts (yes, i said that with a canadian accent!) On this whole issue of the Supremem court ruling...I am torn. every one is making good points, and its great to hear all of this. I certainly cant have this debate in my office, since we work for those same developers. I think if this law is interpreted and used properly at a local level, then it is good. I am scared about the potential for abuse, but isnt that risk there for everything politicians are involved in?    Leanne about: Planning Board Cathryn, i think its great. having been involved with alot of local planning boards in this area, i know that smart, educated, and thoughful people are needed on every board, and I imagine Portsmouth is no different. Its alot ofpolitical wrangling, and tension, but it would be an awesome experience! From what I gather its a few late months a couple times a month. Although, there is also the bad side where peole try to influence the board...there have been some terrible storesi about that around here. However, I keep going bak to the awesome experinece it might be. I say go for it, stick it our for a while, and if it becomes too much, what harm is there in stepping down?   Leanne about: scary I wish i could...unfortunately one is my boss :-(   Leanne about: scary How bout this for scary...people in my office are ECSTATIC about this ruling!! They are so excited they have been floating around all day on cloud nine!! Man I hate my job!!   Leanne about: flash Hey Strom! Welcome to our obsession! Its great to hear from you. I got busted for internet usage at work, so i am not on as much as I used to be :-( I will check in when I can! And Bub, YOur nerdiness is pretty special!   Leanne about: site update WOW! and I thought I was drunk when i saw that! Nice touch Bub   Leanne about: restaurant names I hear their specialty dessert is called the "Dirty Sanchez"   Leanne about: musac Bub, I would definitely be into some Sinatra. no rush, just whenever there is an opening in the weirdo music onslaught. Wes is currently working on cataloguing all of his music, so someday when you are up to it, I am sure you can experience the weirdness that is Wes' collection! I love it...any type of music at my fingertips!!!   Leanne about: musac bub, you must pardon Wes...I will teach him how to zip stuff tonight. WES...I have downloaded Gorillaz...no need to worry, just get me a cd tonight.   Leanne about: nerd alert Bub, you have it wrong...I am American, NOT Greenberg!   Leanne about: Bored WHERE IS EVERYONE!!!! all of this b*tchin about work yesterday, which gave me tons of posts to catch up on today, but now what!!! Hellooooooooo   Leanne about: citizenship Thanks for all your Congratulations!!! Its cool to finally have this over with, and to not have to worry about getting deported...sorry Kev:-( Dougums and I took the test a few months ago. SOOOOO easy, esp for him, considering he is a US History major, LOL. Ceremony was cool...over 70 people "taking the oath", from 30+ countries. Great excuse to take a day off of work!   Leanne about: Jacko In case anyone cares, and wants to hear whether or not he will fry, or go free, the Jacko jury will read its verdict at 4:30   Leanne about: musac (That last message was for Wes)   Leanne about: musac Yes, Yes (i need two blank cds), and Thanks :-)   Leanne about: 4:2X man! The street sign that wes has..."Morningwood Drive" is in my parents old neighborhood. It would get stolen all the time! last time I was out taht way, they had changed the sign to read "Morningwd. Dr." Do they really think people are going to stop stealing it?!   Leanne about: google Its frank Lloyd Wright's Bday today   Leanne about: Characters For your info Wes, I hear that Jesus' stage name is "Jebus", and I would talk to Homer   Leanne about: Characters Thews = Johnny Depp  Thews Leanne about: copyright infringement AHA!!! Wes = Robert Scott Speedman. Otherwise known as Ben on Felicity and "Hot Werewolf dude" on Underworld. Shorten, and straighten his har, and I think we might have a winner.  Wes Leanne about: copyright infringement I dont buy the Wes/Cann look alike. maybe its just the pic, but Cann looks like his face was smashed in with a frying pan!    Leanne about: copyright infringement Abby, I like you as Mariah...old Mariah, not new, skanked to the hilt Bling bling Mariah. But the hot, sweet, talented version!   Leanne about: copyright infringement Younger, I got Tiffany Amber Thiessan.. both in Saved by the Bell days, and 90210. I swear, and I am not just saying this, that several people at a Town meeting a few weeks ago were commenting I look like Angelina...I swear I am NOT making that up. Basically, any actress taht has brown hair, brown eyes, and big lips...that would be me. People are NOT very creative, thts for sure   Leanne about: copyright infringement Kiefer is Hot...go with him!   Leanne about: copyright infringement we also discussed an alternate actor for Biggie...the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond.    Leanne about: Dean Cain ummmm....NO!   Leanne about: new digs Im with ya Andy. We have energy saver toilets, and they are TERRIBLE! You cant even flush a simple old piece of wadded up TP! And I am the only one of the women in the office who double-checks everytime I flush. Thewsy and Cristen have a fun vaca!! Turd...that made me lauch out loud...coffee was almost spit allover my keyboard!    Leanne about: THis sux Yes Abby, while prodding him with our swords! YYarrrghhhh!!!!   Leanne about: THis sux I hate you honey!!! WHy dont you do something productive!!!   Leanne about: THis sux I WANT THIS DAY TO BE OVER!!!!!!!! Where is everyone?   Leanne about: Ewww NOLDE!!! What the F was that...I am going to have nightmares now!   Leanne about: STD STD = Summer Throw Down. No berg, There is no fear here. Why stress ourselves out on yet another weekend by competing as hard core as we do for COmp. weekend. If we were calling this "Summer Competition weekend", then you might have an argument Berg. This is a new event, totally on its own. Our proposal relies completely on having no strict teams. Take it or Leave it :-)   Leanne about: STD '05 The belt should not be on the line. We won it, we get to keep it until the next Competition weekend! SO there!! We would prefer to not do Team B-lo vs. Team Ohio. Just have a fun weekend, picking teams as we go, for each event. But, this can be put up for discussion.   Leanne about: new beer Berg, it was just as good as I remember. I thought that the reason that beer tasted so good was directly related to the fact that I was just turning 21, and had no real beer drinking experience. Nope! it still does, and we introduced 5 other people to the beer! yuuuum...cant wait for an Erdinger with my dinner tonight!!!   Leanne about: Awesome idea being cornholing in c-bus   Leanne about: Awesome idea! We cant come weekend of June 25.   Leanne about: KOL Berg...whitacre/colon throwback...huh?   Leanne about: Badre If you speak to Badre, tell him COngrats!!!! Holy shiznit Badre is a dad!!! I still cant get over that. PS...i like her name :-)   Leanne about: morning! Where is everyone this lovely am? ITS FRIDAY!!! Come on, lets make this day go by quickly. funny anecdotes, gross poop stories, making fun of eachother, etc. LETS GO PEOPLE!!!   Leanne about: bundles of joy Woah!!! Thts craziness!   Leanne about: clones Can i alter the genetic structure of my clone to look like Angelina? That would be sweet...then it wouldnt be gay...just HOT!   Leanne about: gifts from the gods Magical...thats just magical!   Leanne about: summer throw down 2005 Aaron, that may be the best argument to have it in B-Lo. Wes and I are doing ALOT of long distance traveling that month, so we want to be selfish, and push Buffalo on everyone! (T-shirt ideas are already in the works!) Should each city put forth a proposal?   Leanne about: beer Congrats Dickey! What, not moving back to Kent?!    Leanne about: Wes funny? I think its funny to come home and see Wes watching a looney tunes movie! http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/cmp/jamcentral/prodnotes.html   Leanne about: Wes Sorry, should have been more specific...its odd to imagine a masters degree for people supposedly already in the workforce, with established careers requiring a thesis...I think there would be a riot   Leanne about: Wes Thesis?! In Business school?? HA!    Leanne about: Wes' boss took him out for lunch So, at 2:30 today i get a call from Wes. (read this with a slurring voice)"I wanted to call you to rub this in... I have two things to tell you...1. I AM TOTALLY TRASHED!!! 2. I get to go home early!" So, I come home to find Wes piss ass drunk, giggling on the couch, watching the movie "Sports Jam". What a day!!    Leanne about: Good Luck on your LAST exam Wes!!!! NO MORE SCHOOL (finally!!)   Leanne about: family guy We have a wedding to attend on July 9   Leanne about: 2 things ...and Mr. P   Leanne about: 2 things That settles it...Everyone should move to B-Lo!!!! wow, talk about the best wet dream ever...Brad Pitt AND Angelina...so hot   Leanne about: Congrats sarcasm and laughter are the only ways to get thru wedding planning!   Leanne about: Congrats moms are nothin! After a mere 6 months of crying, yelling, and ignoring, I think my mom is FINALLY on board with the whole italy thing. Come on Bub, toughen up...its no sweat. (this could be the biggest understatemnt of the century!!!)   Leanne about: congrats (its fun to dream!)   Leanne about: congrats I too am hearing the same advice from newlyweds, as well as not-so-newlyweds. Lets just make it easy on everyone...why dont we plan all three weddings as a giant party in aruba!...each couple gets their own day, with a HUGE party at the end of it all!!!    Leanne about: Congrats Abby, I sent you an email through your hotmail (abigailstallkamp@hotmail.com) do you still check that?   Leanne about: Congrats But Derek, then that ruins the fun of making our friends choose!!! Meng/Pam, Abby/Bub, as you get beyond the excitement, and start narrowing in on dates, lets all stay in touch!!   Leanne about: congrats WOW!!! Congrats Abby & Bub, AND Meng & Pam...this is craziness!!!   Leanne about: WHOA Gross!!!! whatever happend to using a Honey Bear!? Or even an alien-shaped water bottle!   Leanne about: gettin pied later Happy 4/20!!!!!! hope everyone is celebrating in some fashion today. Happy Bday Thewsy. Mante sends kisses.   Leanne about: WEather in dominican Ok, so i was bored, and feeling sorry for myself cus Abby, Bub et al are in the Dominican, probably on a beach. So, at the risk of making myself feel worse, i checked out the weather there... http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/78479.html Makes me feel a LITTLE better, cus todays forecast is the same as it is here in B-lo! (unfortunately there are no unlimited drinks, palm trees, clear blue water or a beach here in my office!)   Leanne about: mail-it-in-friday Wes, you suck! I hope Mante pees on you.   Leanne about: PICS AND STUFF Hey berg, you gonna get that music site up in a timely manner?   Leanne about: Tonys hair So i dont count? :-(   Leanne about: worst. name. ever I just read the article, and I like this statement..."Cox admitted to not really bringing out the best in Mandic."   Leanne about: memories Wes, note for future discussions...the only HOT Canadian chick you know is me!!! Remembering that my dear, will keep you out of trouble! ;-)   Leanne about: boring poop seemed to be a good topic the other day   Leanne about: dickey Sprenger and Jill...should be a great time.   Leanne about: Dickey Wes and I wont make it. We actually have a wedding in Cleveland on Saturday, and now none of you jerks will be around on the friday night to party?! HOW RUDE (just kidding)! Cant blame ya...im gonna miss not seeing Dickey's ghetto.   Leanne about: leanne Not a problem Bub. Thts strange...i made them 5" wide, and set them at 100 res.   Leanne about: Eye Patches I think Thews should definitely go for the monocle look...esp. with the 'stache! personally, I would go for one contact with an eye patch decorated ala "Bedazzler"   Leanne about: Now theres only two left Hello? hello? anybody out there? I assume that, unlike myself, everyone must have something better going on at the office! Anywho...to start a new discussion, Has anyone seen the new show The Office? If not, you should. even if you think it sucks, its fun to check out, cus you work with these people everyday! Diversity Day rocks!   Leanne about: a new high (or low) ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...   Leanne about: team buffalo AND team ohio wins! And an additional note...we had to take BOTH our cars to the grocery store in order to take care of all the bottles in one trip!   leanne about: nose digging I cant WAIT to get home to your stinky, sniffly ass. Wes is at his best (worst?) when he cant smell his own farts. Fun times are ahead for me. I will say this much...Wes, if you even think about picking your nose and flicking, after the day I have had, I will punch!   Leanne about: nose digging Thats another thing! We all know that I am not shy about burping whenever need be, no holds barred! But, I dont in the office. I guess thats what i get from being the first female to work here full time for years. Is it too much to ask that they excuse themselves in front of me? We even have one guy who cant hear very well (at all!) and he farts, not knowing we can hear him all the way across the office. He can usually get a giggle out of me on that one. But the nose picking has just got to stop! If i did it, I am sure everyone would be freaked out. Maybe that is the solution. I need to bring forth the "bodily function" weapon, and even start picking my nose when i am talking to people...that will show them!   Leanne about: Gross Out Ok, I have a question...keep reading before you laugh. When is it acceptable to pick ones nose in public? Is it ever?? Today, i just happen to look towards our office kitchen. There stands an individual with his finger up his nose, digging away. Now, to his credit, he had a tissue over the digging finger. But he was doing it where people eat, and where people can see him! I have also seen people in the office pick their nose with a bare finger, and place it in a tissue. i understand that sometimes its got to be done. Thats why I make my way towards the bathroom, esp. considering we are in cubicle land. to be honest, if i had an office with a door on it, I might take care of it with the door closed. But COME ON!!! is it really ok for someone to stand in the middle of a public area in the office with their finger up their nose?!!!   Leanne about: site Bub, pics are on the way...should get to you Monday   Leanne about: pictures Yeah, i would like to know the "secret" too. Between comp. weekend and st. patty's, i have a ton of pics to resize   Leanne about: Normalcy When will I be back to normal??? My body hates me as of right now. Anyone else still draggin?   Leanne about: sandos w/fries Harold, sandos w/ fries will be saturday, pre crawl. So we must all wait in anticipation...mmmmmmmm...sandos!!!   Leanne about: i Andy, glad to hear about the apartment!! Keep your phone by you this weekend, cus I am sure there will be plenty of drunk-dialing coming from your boyfriends!   Leanne about: tomorrow Team Buffalo's Travel Team will be arriving around 7pm tomorrow, possibly already drunk, pied, or even hopped up on Sparks!! (Note to Wes: we need to buy some Sparks) Bub, are the shirts long sleeved or short sleeved?    Leanne about: blink I like the blink. It promotes complete laziness! Anything that can save me a few clicks on the mouse is fine with me!   Leanne about: more stuff did someone leave behind a pair of mens black lace-up boots?   Leanne about: Leftovers Several items were left at the house. Most have been claimed (DEREK!!) but others havent. We have a navy wool hood (maybe from Pam's jacket), a green sleeping bag, Team Ohio's pride, grey winter hat & a pair of gloves, a small soccer ball that Mante keeps trying to hump (Tela's, or is it Thews'???). We can bring everything to p-burgh...except for Team ohio's pride...we OWN that!!    Leanne about: website High Five Bub! I will endure the pain of the bright colors just to hear the screams of Team LOOOOOOSER!!!   Leanne about: Boredom HA! Thanks Aaron...check out the look on her face. She is enamoured, thinking about Nicks purple jelly dildo!   Leanne about: Boredom I am so bored, I am so bored...someone PLLEEEEASE entertain me!!!   Leanne about: good pictures...dude (sorry, I am a little fiesty today)   Leanne about: good pictures...dude Hey Czar, why dont you stop being scared of technology and learn how to use our camera!!! Then you wouldnt have to "pretend" that you actually have the ability to whip me...SNAP!
