   Watering my palms with hot water by mistake

   I had extended my garden hose from a 25' long hose to 100' long in order to wash my car over the weekend and I forgot to change it back. Because of this the long 100' hose was left exposed laying on the driveway and was in full hot Florida sun for hours. I picked up the hose this afternoon and began to water the plants (some of them palms), I didn't realize the water from the hose was very hot until very late when I touched the hose to shift it's position. It was very hot, not quite boiling hot but very hot. I immediately water everything again once the hot water in the hose was all expelled. Did I do any damage to my plants by watering them with this hot wat…

   The Gambinos -- Knätū good neighbors!

   Howdyall: Just couldn't resist this tale of the lurid, especially since our office is tangled up in another case in the same federal court in Brooklyn (US DC, Eastern District). Seems as though a neighbor accidentally ran over 12-year-old Frankie Gambino, and his dad, that Gambino, killed the neighbor and had his body dissolved in acid. Seems as though everyone knew what, just not how . . . CLICK HERE FOR LINK EDITOR'S NOTE: You CAN edit the title and description, if you do full edit and soon enouf . . . .

    TWA JFK Terminal to be turned in fancy hotel

    This was an interesting tidbit of information: TWA's famous terminal has been sold to a hotel developer after being mothballed since 2001. It always symbolized sexy air travel to me. Bet you air travel junkies will have other tales/places to share. http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/jfk’s-iconic-twa-terminal-to-open-to-public-one-last-time/ar-AAfajy6?li=BBieTUX

    Rob Zombie's Halloween

    we got Halloween from Netflix. Wow, it certainly was a lot gorier than the first Halloween, and that kid they got to play young Michael Meyers looked like Damian's twisted sister sidekick. I hafta say I kinda liked it better than the original. That may be blasphemy, but I liked the little touches of period music (Don't Fear the Reaper, etc) he threw in, and the sex was better in this one, LOL.

    Honolulu Bound

    • 612 views

    Hello all, I recently found out I will be completing my residency in Honolulu. Any advice for someone new moving there? Still trying to figure out where to live (needs to be in Honolulu, circumstances dictate I can't commute >30 min) and what car I should get (preferably good gas milage but also robust enough that if I stay in HI after residency it could handle an island like Maui, BI, or Kauai). Any other insider tricks? I have some family over there so it makes it a big easier and luckily I don't have much stuff to move. -Krishna
