More dress-code quackery on Southwest Airlines {Gadling}
Mar 15th 2008 9:11PM Does it not occur to anyone that the individuals who have violated acceptable attire are all under 25. Grow up! Air travel is not a Frat party. Funny how a few years, a couple of kids and being productive members of society can change your opinion of acceptability.
Llenroc Estate, Estate of the Day {Luxist}
Oct 6th 2007 11:59PM As an interior designer that is involved with the property owners and architects from conception to completion of projects, I must dispute the 32.5 million construction cost. Although some (and I stress some) quality materials were used for impact purposes, the overall impression is cheap and of poor quality. The interior environment is lacking a harmonious composition. Generally a house on the market shows better furnished, this is the exception. The cheap and poor quality furnishings exemplify that money does not buy taste.
Hate thy neighbor? You're not alone {BloggingStocks}
Mar 24th 2007 4:47AM We lived beside the ex-chief-of-Police (conveniently retired in the 70s due to "health reasons" when he was being investigated for kick-back and bribery charges). He hated dogs and children, which we had both (we lived there first). When we were not home he would open the gate and let the dogs out of the back yard. Each time he let the dogs out - he called Animal Control. One afternoon I arrived home from work to discover Animal Control, the Police, the Sheriff and a representative from SPCA. It came to a head one day when the "Chief" thought no one was home because all cars were gone. What he didn't know was that my son was home recouperating from surgery. When my son heard the dogs barking in the back yard, he looked out the window only to discover that the "Chief" was letting them out. He immediately grabbed the video camera and caught the action on tape. When I returned home, I called the Police and they came to the house and viewed the tape. I told them that if it happened again, I would turn the tape over to the local news. They paid a visit to him and that solved that problem but his harrassment continued in other ways throughout the years we lived there. He was a very evil man. He died a couple a years ago. It took 20 years for the "health issues" that "forced" him into early retirement to catch up with him! I have no doubts as to his current address.
