Now this just pisses me off...(actually a pretty congenial convo about North Easterners)

It sounded like the one new he was there, and the bus driver didn't, but don't you do a check of the bus before you leave it.

Fortunately, the guy has recovered.
Leslie Rivera told News 12 she would like to put the incident behind her and is now focused on her brother's condition.
"He is doing much better," she said. "He perked up. He started singing."
Awww!


Random swing of the convo, there RA. Cornhuskers?
Actually, two friends of Matt's broke up last summer and gave us the entire contents of their house for a wedding present,
I'm serious, we got a vacuum, dishes, a couch, tables, liquor and food galore!
We were told to clean out their kitchen and take anything we wanted, neither of them was coming home for the rest of the summer. We got all these steaks and drinks and stuff. But we also got some of the weirdest, most random Nebraska foodstuffs ever.

I'm not from here. I just live here. Grew up somewhere far away. Come here thinking I'd never stay long, I'd be going back soon someday.

The only rudeness I ever encountered while in the northeast was in Brattleboro, VT. I can say, though, I think it was an isolated incident.
The person who was rude to my family and me (we were trying to find a public restroom because I was about to explode and person at the information booth IGNORED us while having a personal conversation with someone standing at the window talking to her. We waited in line for 20 minutes, not an exaggeration, to get the answer, "Not here. You'll have to drive around town." at the information booth. We had to pry an answer from her with more specific information and directions.). Everyone else in Brattleboro was very nice to us, especially at the town co-op, where we eventually stopped at my suggestion. By then, the whole family was uncomfortable like me, and I was on the verge of tears... with needing to go to the restroom.

I live not far from Albany.


Yes, Heidi, there are nice people everywhere. (Even Poughkeepsie Arkansas!) It's always dangerous to make broad statements about personalities and locations. It's really luck of the draw in who you happen to run into on any particular day.
I'll never forget the one and only Yankee game I attended (Yankee Stadium). I was about 12 or so, and not especially extraverted. I went to the hot dog stand and stood there waiting for the guy to ask me what I wanted. He never did! All these people kept coming up and shouting out what they wanted, and he'd serve them and ignore me. Finally a man said, "Hey kid! You better tell him what you want or you'll never get anything!" A good lesson for how to be a New Yorker, I've always thought.

Is there really a Poughkeepsie in Arkansas?
I thought it was just in NY..we call it Po-town.


When I lived in Lancaster County, PA, people from New York would come around asking, "Where do you keep those Amish people around here?' -- as if they were hired actors or farmyard animals we kept in pens.

When I was in Germany in the late eighties and people found I was from Chicago they had one of two reactions:
1) Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan!
2) Al Capone! Boom Boom!
When I was in Spain in the late 90s people had absolutely no reaction whatsoever when I told them I was from Colorado. None.
Mountains? nothing. Cowboys? nothing.
All they wanted to talk about was Hillary Clinton's opinion of Monica Lewinsky.

My blood is fucking boiling about this right now.
