Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

What are the names of some large hospitals known for surgery in Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties.

Honestly, I can't think of any. In my family, we went into the city whenever we could to avoid the Brooklyn and Queens hospitals.

Thrive to spite them

There was also only 1 person in the the Control Tower according to the NTSB, it sounds like this was the result of huge errors on the part of the airport and the pilots.

Coding and Sleeping

Shoot, I just logged into my PVR and I'm almost out of disk space. I have to find TV shows to dump or vital PBSKids programming may not get recorded.

I don't know if they're "known" for surgery, but DH's been treated at Maimonides Medical Center.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Daddy! Daddy! Look, kittens!

DIY Standup mobile desk and cat bunk bed on wheels

"I like getting things done standing up and moving around. So, I repurposed the rolling cat house. When Fezzle saw me making changes, he jumped in to make sure I wouldn't remove his basket. He saw me eyeing that space. So, I can truely say that he helped design this desk. Now he can go to sleep knowing he'll be with me when he wakes - - where ever the desk may be."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Afraid I don't know major surgical hospitals anywhere, really, but I think New York magazine does that kind of listicle on a yearly basis. Nymag.com.

Am I crazy or does the following paragraph sound like a real slam?

The suit seeks back benefits that range from a few hundred dollars to one or two thousand dollars per family in the class. “That represents months of being able to get by,” said [NAME], a partner at [FIRM], which worked on the case for months without charge, but is now likely to be able to collect more than a million dollars in legal fees from the city.

There's a skunk that patrols our neighborhood late at night, marking his/her territory as he/she heads down towards the lake. I guess the marking spray is different from the defense spray, because it's only obnoxious for about five minutes and so not worth going outside to possibly encourage a full-out defense.

I know it's a skunk and not a particularly pungent cat, because Hubby looked out the window and said, "Oh, look, another black cat. This one has a white stripe." Me (distracted): "Well, our black cats are inside." "They wouldn't like this black cat with its bushy tail." "What cat--oh, the skunk."
