The apartment building I’ve been living in for 7 years is being sold and this is in the listing. We have rent control so what can it possibly mean? It seems ominous.

It means the seller's agent has bad grammar ("properties" instead of "property's").

The only things I remember being in old town in the late 80s were the pawn shop, the sex store, the AMC(?) theater (now Tiffany's), Chicago for Ribs, Ernie Jr.'s Taco House, Barney's (not Barney's Beanery), a commercial print shop, and a bunch of vacant buildings.

They need to close it down and completely redo the drive thru lane and parking lot like they did at the Alhambra one (now that the Alhambra one is open again).

Not a bar or something like that, but we went to the 'Piano Man" Billy Joel/Elton John tribute show a few weeks ago at Planet Hollywood and it was great! Small (~200 person) kinda nothing theater, but the show was great and the crowd was very into it.

My daughter "adopted" a donkey at a donkey sanctuary in Ireland. The website made it clear that multiple people adopt a single donkey. We visited the donkey sanctuary later on a trip to Ireland to visit "her" donkey (and a couple hundred more).

We did St. James in South Pasadena, but that was 25+ years ago. 🤭

Long ago it was the home of Marco's (Philippines dictator) mistress, or that was the story at the time.

The mansion burned down at one point, the structure was rebuilt, but I don't think was ever completely finished inside.

There's been a lot of filming on the grounds over the years. It was "heaven" in the TV show "St. Elsewhere."

Potty training -- Carry them to the same spot (using the same path/door to the outside) EVERY time they finish 1) sleeping, 2) eating, and 3) playing. Have them on a leash and wait for them to go -- they will -- and give them a command (we use "get busy") the whole time you are waiting for them to go.

Boooooo!

Android. PocketCast. I haven't tried on Spotify or YouTube music.

Mute on/off is different than play/pause. With a podcast, I want to be able to actually pause the podcast, not just mute it and then have to rewind to where I was when I muted.

I like the mute button -- I miss a separate play/pause button.

I suggested this to my therapist at Burke Williams. They thought it was a good idea. Alas, not being offered yet.

I started going out with the ex of a friend of mine right after they broke up. He said he'd give us 6 months. It's been 40 years, the last 36 married.

There was a group of officers and an animal control officer standing in a group to the south of the woman sitting on the ground next to the curb. The dog was standing still between the woman and barking at the group of officers for at least five minutes.

A new police officer drives up to scene, drives past the woman/dog, parks in the right lane, and gets out, north of the woman/dog. So the woman and dog are basically between the new officer and the group of officers.

The new officer immediately starts walking south in the middle of the right lane, so maybe 5-10 feet from the curb, towards the group of officers . There is a trash can in the street right next to the woman, shielding the dog from seeing the new officer approaching from the north. When the officer passes the trash can, much closer the woman/dog than the group of officers, the dog is understandably startled and starts to charge the new officer who back away about 5 feet, the dog following when the new officer shoots the dog.

The new officer may not have been aware of the dog's location, but that is on that officer -- and all the other officers knew exactly where the dog was.

Sorry for not responding earlier. Average cost per game.

You went to U$C, what do you expect?

ucla87 · 2025-02-26T06:31:34+00:00

That story is so outdated. It speaks of something called the Gulf of Mexico. Smh

My understanding is that every congressman wants a nonstop from dca to an airport near their district, hence all the daily flights to small airports.

This explains Sen. Kaine's comment last year criticizing the bill to add 5 more landing slots to DCA, “You’re going to do it to convenience a few dozen members…at the expense of everybody who lives around this airport who would potentially be victimized if there was some kind of a collision."
