When the boys get it in 2-3 years it is usually the parents pushing them through and the boys don't really enjoy the experience. They only take a MB course if it's an eagle required one. Most also no longer continue once they have the eagle. When they can continue to get more MB and get extra awards. 

You are 100% correct I lost track of the kids whose parents just pushed them through the program. My son enjoyed his time in Cub scouts and Boy scouts towards the end it was rough for some reason he was targeted by his scout master thankfully people like Gerry and Lisa Edger and Michelle Armstrong were involved and helped him make it through

Well, I know two of the ones on Grand Central are gone.  One of them for a few weeks now and the other closed as recently as last week.  They are not just fining them now, they can lock them right out.

Wonder if the 420 guy is next?

The one next to pizza pick up is moving location and offering delivery only at this time. (never used them just found that info from snooping around) There however is still 2 shops right in Hanover Square one next to Jakes and one next to the village parking lot. I've been into the one by Jakes but under the old owners not the current. 

The 420 guy is such a blight on the recreational scene. His radio commercials make me want to jab long pointy objects in my ears.

and as per usual, all those productive Citizens with great ideas themselves are trashing the Fairboard/county, as if those entities had something to do with the ride Co. going out of business.

will admit though, there are some stressing the need to bring back the agricultural element of past fairs, i would think this is the perfect opportunity

Right, put the focus back on agriculture and events based around that. Demonstrations, more exhibits, etc.

Agree but those types of events do not draw the welfare crowd which is why it is always scheduled for the first week of the month.

The film will follow, according to its synopsis, “10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe

Man I hope this turns out better than it sounds. Really hoping we get He-Man not they/them man 

They should have been charged with something for harassing the little guys. To bad momma wasn't around for that.

We haven’t been in a few years and honestly don’t feel like we’ve missed much based on what I remember of our last visit.

Im not surprised, and I think we’ll see this happen to more places as time goes on. We don’t eat out nearly as often as we used to and when we do, we try our best to go to someplace that’s locally owned and operated. 

Yeah I don't frequent to many chain restaurants when we do its mostly Texas Roadhouse. Surprisingly this time I got the red lobster to go and it was better than when we ate in person last year when we went. I also skipped getting lobster because last time it just didn't taste the greatest. This time just went with one of the pick 4 shrimp and it was great.

Just had some red lobster over the weekend and it was pretty good. Love the fact that you can just buy the biscuits by the dozen.

You don’t like maple syrup on your breakfast sausage?!?

I was obviously adopted. Or you were.

Must be you were the adopted one. Breakfast sausage is gross and even more so when dipped in syrup

As long as the carrots aren’t stringy . Chopped small is good . 

yeah they were chopped small but having carrots is better than pickles onion or celery

Generally no they do not. However I did have 1 mac salad that had carrots in it and that was pretty good

Specifically target eh?  So apparently the "victims" are not talking.

Not talking is easier than explaining your drug stash house got hit

I highly recommend the cheese steak and their mac and cheese both are delicious. I am not sure how I feel about air-fried fish

I remember this stuff from my 6th grade year at Beecher ( also my first year in public school ). It wasn't great, but for some reason we went nuts when the lady came out and yelled "EXTRAS!!!" which meant you could have more for free. 

I remember at Beecher it came in the little metal rectangle pans and you would get the cheese that would get stuck to the edges and have to scrape it off so delicious.

Citing decrease in demand, Ford is already giving up, at least when it comes to the F150:

 

Electric pickup trucks are just dumb. Not to mention those Fords are rather pricey and most normal folk cant afford them.

I have not watched the newest Ant-Man yet the rest of those I have no interest in watching . I did here the new marvels movie did suck horribly

I think the noise complaints were a bunch of bull. I picked my daughter up from practice there multiple times while music events were happening and it was not loud at all

Exactly!!  Look at me peasants I use British words and sip my tea with pinky out.

Turn the excessively large parking lots into an urban farm, or community garden. Convert most of the  shops into living spaces, some with second storeys. (British spelling). Turn one of the big stores into a convention center.

I find it hilarious she pointed out the fact that she was using British spelling

i would guess that 3.5 million( up a cool mill in a year) is ridiculous to spend on a clock that wont even chime? likely also it is symbolic of past/current administrations that dont seem to care to keep up on upkeep/maintenance issues in order to make themselves look good by "saving money", though i dont think the pool is anywhere near worth investing in at this point, it would have seen more use by the public than the clock tower will

 

Just makes you wonder whose buddy is fixing the clock tower so many better ways to spend that 3.5 million. Most people can only read digital clocks these days anyways

Yes. I am un-American. I find very little to like about this country.

If you don't like it then why are you still here? Plenty of other countries you can go to so don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you!!

How many flakes from Ithaca do you know?  And what is wrong with being "an eccentric, or unconventional person"? The dictionary definition also includes unreliable. owever, that is not applicable. If Jim says he will do something, he will.

I think - if you look at the numbers - that he has much more than a snowball's chance of winning.

Well I lived in Ithaca for 30 years so just a couple. Lets see those numbers 

 Mr.Hasselhoff just looks like a flake from Ithaca. He does not stand a snowballs chance in hell at winning.

His software malfunctioned and his handlers did a soft reboot on him. We must not watch the same news.

I do seriously believe it.  I heard a lot while campaigning, and I learned a lot during the very thorough public input period concerning police reform. The police are increasingly militarized, and they are trained to use force if they feel threatened. (The Washington post tracked 8,727 fatal police shootings since 2015). It's easy to say, well, yes, but that doesn't apply to our police. Perhaps not.  But they hunt in packs (Three officers, each a a separate car to respond to a day time call in a respectable neighborhood), and they target the poor and the POCs.

At the end of the day I wonder whether we are getting our money's worth. The police cost the City almost one-third of its budget. Are we getting a good return on investment?

I can't believe you just said that. 

If the police were in fact good shots, they would shoot to disable, not to kill.  But the torso is a much easier target than an arm or a leg.

1 hour ago, Elizabeth Whitehouse said:

I know that if I was shot in the arm, I would drop my weapon; f I were shot in the leg I would drop to the ground.

The bigger point is that police are very quick to assume that the person they are confronting is trying to kill them.

Your breath must smell horrible with all this shit you spew from it.  You and the candidate you represent need to crawl back under the rock you came from.

Are SROs armed? Silly question. There is no need for any cop interacting directly with the public to be armed (and primed to shoot first and ask questions later.) Few members of the public will want to approach an officer who might shoot them before hearing what they have to say.

If they are a good shot there will be no need for questions.
