So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
You could get a small plastic shed for it. But... don't you have an unpaved driveway anyway? If so, a snow blower could turn the gravel into flying ordinance. Personally... I think that the theatre should invest in one for the front sidewalk. Whatever your salary, it isn't worth hand...- ChiTownScion

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
We rarely see "real" (the kind we endured in Chicago) accumulation here in the greater Portland (OR) area, but we did get a dusting yesterday. The almost- daily rain washed it quickly away. I'd gripe.. but then, one doesn't have to shovel rain.- ChiTownScion

The Era -- Day By Day
Poor dumb b@stard. I've traveled that route, and it's neither scenic nor direct. Ma Lovewell reminds me of the mother of one of my own old flames. When I was dating her daughter, I was barely tolerated. After we had long since broken up, she had dropped out of her honors pre- med program to...- ChiTownScion

I've only read the strip since I noticed it being posted here. Does Ma have any real reason(s) to dislike Lillums, or is she just all out for Team Lana?- ChiTownScion

Looking to Relocate ... Ideas?
Lifelong and 4th generation Chicagoan who retired to the Portland Oregon area over a year ago. My wife is an Army brat who grew up in a lot of different places, and we vetted different options for retirement over the decades. She was against retiring in Illinois: I could have been happy retiring...- ChiTownScion

The Era -- Day By Day
Someone who has seen the rawest and ugliest aspects of show biz will likely not be the one to expose her kid (for whom she cares deeply) to be exposed to it by jumping on that stage mom bandwagon. But, that's only a guess on my part. Billy's innocence is almost too good to be true: let's keep it...- ChiTownScion

And this debate is as likely to be resolved as the issues raised during the Reformation. Tavern cut vs. wedge cut?- ChiTownScion

The Era -- Day By Day
I have to wonder if Harold Gray ever had any kids of his own. Little Billy seems to be a bit too "ideal" for a real little boy. He seems like the kind of a kid that a wannabe Mom would order out of a Sears & Roebuck catalogue: not a trace of brat or whiner in him. Even the best of little boys...- ChiTownScion

So the judge pulled strings to get the Very Finest Trial Attorney in the state. And they say Nick Gatt is dead. Pretty common theme with a lot of people: "Lawyers are jerks, thieves, and vermin... but MY lawyer is the finest to draw breath since the time of William Blackstone." Am I correct...- ChiTownScion

Where do you wear morning wear?
Reviving this thread after more than a decade. As to when & where to wear morning wear in this day & age: I'm a grand lodge officer in my fraternity and I'm thinking that a morning coat with striped pants and all accessories might be a nice way to dial it up a bit. Not really essential, but...- ChiTownScion

I am remind by this how, in the 1950's, Lionel decided to market an electric toy train "just for girls," I suppose in the belief that girls were envious of the O-27 trains of their brothers. Freight cars, caboose, and even the steam locomotive were all in the most infantile pink and baby blue...- ChiTownScion

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Certainly agree as to that. Finding a good car sales rep is tougher than finding a decent clergyman. We found a guy who was nearly a ninety minute drive from us who was a lot more like (in appearance and manner) a college professor than a car salesman. Honest, hard working, forthright...- ChiTownScion

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Six figures for a vehicle does seem obscene... although my pulse quickens as much as anyone's at the sight of, say, a Shelby Cobra or a '55 T- Bird convertible. Let alone a Duesenberg or Boattailed Auburn. But I do grasp the notion of long term economy, IF it actually plays out in real life. If...- ChiTownScion
