Very cute, Miss Lettybettyhettygetty.

Jespah, in Columbus, the main east-west drag is Broad Street, so the street named Broadway in the northern part of town is called North Broadway, to prevent confusion (Rolling Eyes).

Now, what you need to know is whether you want East North Broadway, or West North Broadway.

I know exactly what you mean, Raboida . . . the same thing happened to me when i thought i was at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk, but when i looked up a second time, i was horrified to find myself at the corner of Don't Walk and Don't Walk. Like you, i gave it up, 'though i just went home and stayed there.


You have a corner of Walk and Don't Walk too? Small woild.

I suspect those signs have something to do with regulating pedestrian traffic.
However, since I come from Boston, I have no way to be sure.

I was futzin' around online at supper time last night, and read this damned thing about how you could save money if you smoke your own salmon. So, i thought: "Hey, there's some salmon in the fridge, i'll smoke it!"

I ruined about half a pack of cigarette papers just to get the oily mess rolled . . . and then i couldn't keep the damned thing lit.

You know, i was taking my shower this morning (maybe not in the best of moods), and i reached for the shampoo . . . and it just honked me off.

The kind of money you spend, why the Hell settle for shampoo?

I WANT REAL POO WHEN I WASH MY HAIR.

Well I went and did it too---the title is:

Whakapapa---in Maori, the Wh sound is pronounced F

Don't ask me to do anything technical like the link, I'm far beyond the capacity to do anything that might require the simplest coordination.
