Sadly, the body of Leiby Kletzy was found murdered and dismembered. RIP Leiby. Prayers for his family and the community who worked so hard to get him back. I’m angry that this little boy went to someone for help and was hurt by him. There are some seriously sick people in the world. The murderer […]
Monday, June 27th, 2011Same Sex Marriage Means Money for NY
At 11:55 pm, the NY senate voted 33 to 29 to legalize same-sex marriage. Many people have been waiting for this law to pass as they want to be legally married to their partners. In 2009, they tried to pass a similar bill, but they weren’t able to do it. What’s changed? Our economy has changed and […]
Thursday, June 9th, 2011Jumper on 95th Street Brooklyn 11209
I rewrote parts of this entry as more information became known. It was Brooklyn Queens Days and I came home to chaos today around 3:40 pm.

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011Aileen Chen – Aileen’s Unfinished Story
She was ambitious and hard working ALL THE TIME. I was blessed to have known Aileen Chen as she was in my class for two years. Hearing the news of her death was shocking. The news slowly leaked out that a teen was hit by a car in Bensonhurst; I kept hoping it wasn’t “our […]
Monday, February 21st, 2011Chicken Ridiculous – the Famous Brooklyn Sandwich!
In this part of Brooklyn (Bay Ridge, Dyker, Bensonhurst) everyone about the famous Chicken Ridiculous. It’s a legacy sandwich around this part of Brooklyn. If you ask in other parts of Brooklyn or in NYC, they won’t know what it is. Yet most people who go out out at night and get the munchies […]
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010Blizzards Bring Us Together
We did a lot of shoveling to get our driveway clear. Bay Ridge, Brooklyn is a friendly area so as we are outside working, I get a chance to see a lot more of my neighbors who are home because of the blizzard. Everyone takes a break from shoveling and comes over to chat. […]
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010Best Sheets
A friend gave me a great set of sheets that I just got around to using now. She bought them from Neiman Marcus and they are embroided. On my mattress I have two fiberbed covers with the allergen barrier fabric so that makes the mattress comfortable, but also very high. I need to use deep […]

Monday, August 2nd, 2010Pottery Barn Coupon
Woohooo finally a Pottery Barn coupon – they are rare! I noticed that both the new Pottery Barn catalog and the West Elm catalog both contained a coupon inside for 10% off the total purchase. Be on the lookout for the 10% coupons because they easily fall out of the catalog. A 10% off coupon […]
