I can't help but refer to my signature



...but it seems TIS would rather I be whacked?

I'm here... been lurking, just too lazy to post. Been watching DVDs and watching short films on various sites to help prepare for my next one (whenever that'll be)... been doing anything but working pretty much (shhh! don't tell JRCX! )

He hasn't posted here lately. He must be busy picking up your slack.

It doesn't pay to be a rich bitch.

TROUBLE HIGH-TAILS IT AFTER DEATH THREATS
By LARRY CELONA and DAREH GREGORIAN
December 3, 2007 -- It's more money, more problems for Leona Helmsley's $12 million dog, Trouble.

The poor little rich bitch has been wintering in Florida after being targeted by death threats up North, The Post has learned.

Trouble turned tail from the 28-room Connecticut estate where she had been staying after her caretakers received approximately two dozen threats against the petite pooch, who became a celebrity earlier this year after Helmsley died and left her a $12 million trust fund.

The dog - under an assumed name - was flown by private plane with her security team to a Helmsley property in the Sarasota area about two months ago, sources said.

A spokesman for Helmsley organization, Howard Rubenstein, declined comment.

John Codey, the Helmsley executive in charge of the pooch's trust fund, said Trouble is being well taken care of.

He estimated the cost of her upkeep - including security, medical care and grooming - to be well over $300,000 a year. The Maltese chows down on meals prepared by chefs.

Most households in New York City made only a hair above $38,000 as of 1999 and more than 21 percent of families were living below the poverty line - about $13,000 - in 2006.

Helmsley's will called for Trouble to be taken in by her brother, Alvin Rosenthal. But he snubbed the dog, leaving her to be cared for by Helmsley employees at her Dunnellen Hall estate and in Florida.

Trouble's penchant for biting people has earned her many enemies over the years, but Codey said he has been astonished at the animosity toward her.

"I think the reaction was really quite bizarre," he told CBS's "The Early Show" last week.

"We received any number of threats to kidnap the dog, so that was a major problem for us after Leona passed away."

He said that the 41/2-pound pooch has a rotating security team and used an alias when she flew out of Connecticut.

"We've had problems keeping her identity confidential, and we had to change her name even to take her on the aircraft. We called her Bauble instead of Trouble," he said.

Codey doesn't expect Trouble to chomp through her entire trust fund. He said whatever remains after her death will go into Helmsley's charitable fund, which eventually could top $6 billion.

Quite nice weather here now,but it is still cold!
Was frosty this morning when i cycled home from work...
fell of the bloody thing taking a corner to fast did'nt i....

Good ol Yogi

It is snowing here right now. Just snow flurries but it is sticking a little.

Aw, I want snow

I'd rather have some snow than those stupid Lake Erie mosquitoes.

Well come on over we got a inch now and it's still coming down. Time to put the rake away and dust off the shovel. I'll be shoveling in the morning before I take my son to school.

Mig, why do YOU shovel? Why doesn't Col. Slade or your son shovel the snow?

I know I know! Who wants to hear from that "B" in California saying how nice the weather is here. (actually it got down to 36 last night and is cold here today)

I can relate though, honest. I hated shoveling. I hated when I did shovel and the next morning (if not the next couple hours) snow fell again. Honestly, I don't think my back could take shoveling anymore.
Mig, be careful. It would almost be worth it to hire someone with a bronco or whatever to clear out the driveway for you. Or, just tell the Colonel that it's a man's job and that you don't want to break a nail.

TIS

We have the best snow-protection in the world. We sprang for a fairly expensive snow-blower. Once we laid out the cash, it didn't snow for years!

Why you ask? I'll tell ya. We share the duties in and out of the house. One thing I won't do is climb the ladder to clean out the gutters. I don't do ladders.

Do they hitch you to the plow, too?

Mr. Babe would have me hitched to a plow if he could, and not in a good way.

You lie. Not Mr. Babe!!

Oh, yes! He's quite the taskmaster, that Mr. Babe. He just PRETENDS to be a nice, easy-going guy.

Mig, I should REALLY shut up, but I don't understand. You have two young men and an old man ( ) living there and YOU do the shovelling?? I don't get it.

You lie like a rug. It must be those toe medications making you do it.

Vicodin, baby!! Hooray for Vicodin!!

You gonna share some?

Next time we go to Shula's, I'll be happy to!!

You're such a steak tease!

Hey, you're the one who made me refer to you as My Big T-Bone.

That was fine until DMC yelled out, "Its so soft you don't even need a knife".

Thanks for your concern SC, you are a sweetheart. My older son lives with the Col's parents and not with me cuz his job is in the city they live in in Ohio. Like I said before we share the house duties. He helps me with the house work and I help him outside. As much as I hate doing the shoveling I still help him with it.

So, "Soft like butt-ah!" wouldn't be considered flattering?

OK, Mig, thats fair. Like I said, I should butt out anyway.
