vERY BUSY

TODAY, IF ONE HAD COME NTO THE STORE..AROUND 3 ISH, YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TH STORE WAS MAKING MILLIONS. A CUSTOMER CAME WITH A TRUCK AND PICKED UP A BUNCH OF STUFF...TWO SOFAS, A FEW CHAIRS, MIRRORS,,,ETC..THAT HE PURCHASED OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW WEEKS, WHILE WE WERE LOADING HIS TRUCK, THE FAMILY FROM VIRIGNA, CAME TO PICK UP THEIR ITEMS THEY PURCHESED, ALSO OVER A PERIOD OF THREE WEEKS.... THEY HAD TO WAIT, WHILE WE FINISHED THE FIRST TRUCK...THEN, A LADY WHO BOUGHT A CHINA CABINET ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO CAME IN, WITH HER RENTED TRUCK TO PICK THAT UP. AND OF COURSE, IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS, THE ELEVATOR BROKE AGAIN, AND THE BOYS HAS TO SCHLEP SOME OF THE ITEMS DOWN THE STAIRS.
tHE oPERA sINGER, WHOSE NAME i WILL NOT PRINT HERE FOR FEAR OF ANNOYING HIM, HAD PURCHASED FROM ME LAST NIGHT, AN ANTIQUE MEDICINE CABINET....lAST NIGHT WE TALKED FOR QUITE A WHILE...A VERY NICE PERSON, AND WE WERE ON THE SAME FREQUENCY....IN LIFE. wE HAD THE SAME OPINIONS ABOUT POLITICS, RELIGION, THE ARTS, ABOUT PEOPLE......IN THE MIDST OF OUR CONVERSATION HE FELL IN LOVE WITH A MARBLE STATUE.. i TOLD HIM i WOULD GIVE HIM TWO MONTHS TO PAY FOR IT...AND HE SAID HE WOULD THINK ABOUT IT....AND THINK HE DID, WHILE ALL THREE TRUCKS WERE IN THE PARKING LOT, HE CAME IN AND BOUGHT THE STATUE.....AND MIKE PACKED IT FOR HIM.. tHE PLACE WAS JUMPING.
i FOUND THE TIME TO GIVE THE LEATHER COUCH CUSTOMER, A BOWL OF THE BEANS i MADE LAST NIGHT.......AND SINCE HE IS FROM PUERTO RICO, HE APPRECIATED FRIOLES CON JAMON (BEANS WITH HAM)
tHIS MORNIGN WE FIRED UP THE POP CORN MACHINE,...THE WILD RED ONE ON TALL BICYLE WHEELS, AND PEOPLE HAD POPCORN WHILE SPENDING MONEY....AND THE AROMA OF THE CORN FILLED THE AIR....MUCH BETTER AND HOMEY THAN FLORAL CANDLES AND POTPURI.
THE FAMILY FROM MARYLAND.....STAYED UNTIL 8PM, BROWSING, WHILE THE BOYS CONTINUED TO PACK THEIR TRUCK......AND BLESS THEM, THEY CONTINUED TO BUY THINGS....EVEN AFTER THE BOYS LEFT....
tODAY..IN GERMANY SCIENTISTS FOCUSED AN ENERGY SOURCE, THAT WOULD POWER AN ENTIRUE CITY......INTO A LASER THAT IS ONLY 1/20TH OF THE WIDTH OF A HUMAN HAIR...AND AIMED IT AT A PIECE OF ALMUMINUM....AND FOR I MILLIONTH OF A SECOND THE ALUMINUM BECAME INVISIBLE. WOW! aM i IMPRESSED///// AND THE OTHER ARTICLE IS THAT NASA IS TRYING OUT UNDERWEAR IN SPACE THAT DOENST GET SMELLY IF YOU WEAR IT FOR A FEW THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS. THIS WAS TODAY NEWS..... I WONDER WHAT WAS THE COST OF THAT ENERGY BLAST.....TO MAKE ALUMINUM INVISIBLE FOR A MILI SECOND...... I BET IT THE MONEY SPEND COULD HAVE CURED A DISEASE OR TWO....OR FED ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT ARE HUNGRY FOR A DAY OR TWO.....OR MAYBE MORE... EVENTUALLY THE EXPERIMENT WILL PROVE TO BE VERY VALID...BUT WHY DONT THEY TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER BLACE NOW...FEED THE HUNGARY, CURE THE SICK, CLOTHE THE NAKED, AND HOSUE THE HOMELESS. I GUESS WHO EVER "THEY ARE" DO NOT THINK IT IS A WORTHWHILE CAUSE. THEIR RESEARCH IS MORE IMPORTANT....MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN SUFFEREING.. I GUESS I MUST JUST BE ONE OF THE SOCIALIST, WHO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE...

see our YOU TUBE VIDEO, BEANS DELICIOSO< OBAMA &BEER

http://www.grannysatticnj.com/ourvideos.html

Check out our Fabulous video of our store that RICHY made today.....thoswe of you who never saw the store will get some idea of it..although, we didnt show what the entirue floors look like from a distance...

I have to give credit for OBAMA..... he had the balls to invite both the Cop and PROFESSOR in the embroiled profiling case...to have beer and snaks on the white house lawn...SHIT, he snubbed me again...he didnt invite me and BUDDY DOG.... In the begining I took the side of the professor, because I am not that fond of policemen, although, we would really be in deep kaka if we didnt have them...But they really should spend more time catching criminals that hunting down motorists who are going a few miles over the speed limit, or have a bulb out on the license plate...or hunting down kids smoking pot, turning them into criminals, when they graduate for the UNIVERISTY of The PENAL INSTITUTION, where they meet up with real criminals who teach them the ropes. When they come out, instead of getting a job, they now know who to be professional criminals and get over on the system.....only eventually to return later on for some real nasty offense......
But now, this left over hippie, sans long hair, sans any hair......the liberal, who protested the Viet Nam war (but never the soldiers).....has taken the side of the COP. He went there to check out a break in. He met up with GATES, who happened to be both black and a professor. He was not wearing an " I AM A HIGHLY REPSECTED BLACK PROFESSOR AT CAMBRIDGE TEE SHIRT" and even if he was, since he answered a call...not just stopped by becuase he was on his porch........he got a call there was a break in....so the cop asked GATES for Identification....I think under the circumstances...it was a reasonable request...to make sure the house wasnt being robbed. IF GATES WAS WHITE...HE STILL WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR IDENTIFICATION....BECAUCE OF THE PHONE CALL....."
GATES WAS IN A PISSY MOOD. HE JUST CAME IN FROM A LONG FLIGHT, WAS TIRED AND PISSED BECAUSE HE HAD TORUBLE WITH THE DOOR...SO HE MOUTHED OFF TO THE COP. HE FIRST SAID"dO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" WELL, the cop didnt know who he was....even though he was a world reknown black scholar, cops wouldnt recognize, him, I wouldnt have recognized him, and I wonder if Obama, Jesse jackson, or Al NoT SO SHARPTON would have known him...just standing their on the porch. THE COP WAS REALLY DOING HIS JOB...THEN GATES GOT ROWDY, mouthed off to the cop (i dont know what he said....)but it seems like he did deserve to get his ass hauled into jail. Now he was lucky, that he was a professor, and they dropped charges. If he was a white guy, not a well known professor...or black, i bet he would have been given a little fine and maybe a week in jail.
Obama shouldnt have said the cop acted stupidly...(I dont think) It also depends on what information Obama was given... But i think it was very human and wide of him to try to bring both gates and Crowly to the table.... It was a learning situation...said Barrack, but I see this more symbolic....he got the WHITES and the BLACKS to sit down, face to face and work things out.....and this is what Obama wants for the country...a healing of 200 some odd years of bad blood. Hooray for Obama..he has balls.

Beans....a few different ways...all very delicioso:

In a crock pot put a bag of your favorite beans....black, pinto, red, kidney.....wash them first to get out dirt.....cover with water and plug in your slow cooker... Chop up one large onion, one large green pepper, one carrot in very small pieces, (optional: chopped celelry, dried hot chili pepper, parsely) Chopped four to 8 cloves of fresh garlic, One big option is adding half a cup of very well washed chopped cilantro) that completely changes the taste.
If you are not a veggie-tarian you can add left over ham on the bone, smoked neck bonesm or half to a pound of bacon...if your are kosher and not a veggie-tarian, you can add smoke turkey necks or legs...
You can add, tomatoe paste, catsup, tomatoe puree or even chopped tomatoes...insead of adding more water.... each addition changes the taste a bit.
experiment with all of them.
let cook for at least 4-6 hours slowly....at the end of the cooking taste for salt and pepper..and correct.
TO SERVE: PUT IN A TURREN. HAVE A LARGE BOWL OF YOUR FAVORITE RICE;;; YELLOW, WHITE OR BROWN....AT ANOTHER TIME I WILL GIVE A RECIPE FOR YELLOW AND OTHER RICES LATINO STYLE.
HAVE LITTLE BOWLS OF CHOPPED ONION, CHOPPED SCALLION, CHOPPED JALEPENOS, CHOPPED TOMATOES, CHOPPED GARLIC, A BOTTLE OF WINE VINEGAR A BOTTLE A FINE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL....ON THE TABLE.. TAKE A SOUP BOWL, PUT IN RICE, THEN ADD BEANS....THEN PUT ON YOUR TOPPINGS....I LIKE GARLIC AND ONIONS,,,OLIVE OIL AND A BIT OF VINEGAR...
yum......THE SLOW COOKING IMPARTS ALL THE FLAVORS INTO THE BEANS......THEY ARE JUST INCREDIBLE.....AND ADD SOME BAKING SODA..TO TAKE OUT THE GAS......

I wont eat Candy anymore,Hoboken Diner

I found this article online by accident....when looking up someones screen name of KINDER CHOCOLATE...they had stuff for sale....and I came across this....thought I would share with you..The photos didnt come out!!!

Kinder surprise as chocolate egg stuffed up drug dealer's bum
Thursday, July 16, 2009 A drug dealer was jailed for three years after police found a Kinder egg stuffed with heroin up his backside.
Paul Boyes kept six £10 wraps in the children's toy, a court heard. They were found after he was stopped by police outside his Middlesbrough flat in January.

The 25-year-old admitted possessing the Class A drug and was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court.

Last night I went with a few of the guys to delivery a rug and a chest in HOBOKEN...as I was filling up the car with gas, I noticed we were in front of the MALIBU DINER>..now famous...for the intrigue of the Mayors of HOBOKEN< SECAUCUS and Richfield PArk....and their dirty dealings with 5 rabbis and 30 other wonderful NJ crooks........one of the crooks commit suicide last night.....he was to chicken to see the entirue thing out, or maybe,m someone helped him take all the pills...like they helped Dorothy Kilgalan after she interviewed JACK RUBY (she knew who really was behind the Kennedy assasination) and how they help MARYLIN MONROE commit suicide....I asked the guys if they wanted to go into the diner..and have one of their new "Busted" burgers....but they said no....I bet the place was still buzzing with excitement.....
We wandered on the streets of UNIONS CITY, and went into a restaurant....CUBANO, that had wonderful food, at reasonalble prices... It was a place where people went to eat, and talk...not a place to fo and get dressed up to "GO OUT TO EAT" just to eat. Their menu was extensive.....Juan GATO (John the CAT) had a magnificent MArisco SOUP...with arms and legs, and claws and shells of all kind of creatures from the sea...and veggies.....it was so large he could only finished half of it...and took the rest home. I had one of those tamales...with ground pork in it...
and ROPA VIEJO....(old clothes) which is like potroast,,,that is all stringy...in shreds with onion and green pepper in a gravy...very nice with rice.....and beans....I dint over eat for once...!!!!!

Things I hate....I think I will start a new column..on the subject of things I dont like. I will exclude anything politicaland religous from this sunject matter...the first thing to mention...is:

I hate going into a bathroom, where the owner of the place puts wall to wall mirrors...so you are sitting on the toilet...watching your self..Ifind this annoying and disgusting.......feh!!!! I cannot figure why they do this.....canthere be any reason???? If so I would really like to know.

We are Sarah Palin free for a while....

Thank God that we have SArah Palin to talk about....I like OBAMA< but I really dont find him a comical character to poke fun at.....Now I listened to SARAH say good by...and she was so articulate.....just like a blond cheerleader. She cannot speak, or read anything that would elicite any amount of confidence that I wouuld want her to be my presdident...well, maybe she might opt for the job of cleaning lady....Her knowledge of world, history, geography, ethnic origins and culture, religions of the world, sex education,....and food other than mooseburgers......make her unsuitable to be anything at all in public office....other than a dog catcher, crossing guard...or tax collector.
Just think of her as President (GOD FORBID) Think of her trying to have a conversation with Putin of Russia, or think back in time....fantacize her talking with Woodrow Wilson, Adolph Hitler, Peter the Great, John F KEnnedy, Queen Victorian, Abe Lincoln.....this sounds like a skit for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.....now go back futher....have her discuss politics with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,...... she becomes more pathetic the more we think about it.......
I can see her however having her own COOKINH SHOW on one of those FOod Networks......giving the world recipes for Mooseburgers, moosestew, moosekabobs, moosewraps and paninis.......and she would have guest cooks that are Eskimos....

Ducks crossing the road, friends return......new stuff

The other day I mentioned that I needed some inspiration to start writing poetry again.....The political scene is far from inspirational....nor, comical enough to make fun of, although the lovely SARAH PALIN, soon will be exposed to my rath...as will a few rabbis, and mayors in JErsey, who are nothing more than seasoned criminals.
What is this sudden bit of inspiration, that might have unclogged the passacge ways of my brain, and cleared the neuro transmitters to beable to connect thoughts and images and create new poetry? DUCKS.. yes ducks...
I was driving to work two days ago, when I slammed on the brakes. Mama duck and her brook were slowly crossing the FRANKLIN TURNPIKE....from my left.....crossing to my left... 4 lanes and 2 shoulders....as traffic was going at 45 MPH.......and the lights were green.
I not only slammed on the brakes, but simultaneously, put on my flashers and hit the high beams frantically (on and off) so the truck bearing down in the other direction would pay notice...to the feathered family in the road.
I didnt know if the truck would see my lights or the ducks....and if the family of waddelers wouldmake it accross... The truck stopped, but I was afraid that a car behind it, not knowing why it stopped, would go around it and pass on the right, and crush the birds. My heart was in my mouth. AND suddenly, I was emoptional, and tears started rolling down my cheeks...in fear of the worst scenario. All this that I mention took but a few seconds,but it seemed to drag on in slow motion. The ducks did make it to the other side safely.....but somehow this devasted me for a while.
The devastation and sadness, was NOT just about a bunch of ducks...ducks, that I have in the past...enjoyed with sauce l'orange. No, it was all symbolic.
One interpretation is that we (the people, the masses) are the ducks, just waddling accross the road....living our lives...oblivious to all that is around us. The cars and trucks are the goverments and nature, who at a moments notice, can bring down our existence in one crashing blow.....We are at the mercy of Mother NAture, and politics..and we can throw in disease while we are at it...The truck can be symbolic of an unexpected stroke or heart attack, that is lurking without any warning.....
Mankind has taken away so much of the space where animals of all kinds have lived for millions of years. The deer have no where to go, not food to eat, and so many end their lives on the side of the highway. And there is no way we can correct this. It is a one way street....an animals are on a collison course with extinction.
So that my friends is what has re=sensitized me...and the above paragraphs, now, have to be turned into poetry.....My brain seems to work automatically. I am away of stimuli....but the poem, when ready..will becom me to start writing.....or typing.... Or it might come out orally while driving the car. The brain seems to keep me out of the peotry, it writes it in my subconscious...and when done it just starts flowing. So, when the poem is done...you all will be the first to know.

I got an email from two freinds, that I hadnt seen in a few years. Nor had they ever been to my store in HOHOKUS. I thought that we had fallen out, but we never had any arguments of anykind. These two live together, like two peas in a pod.....over the past few years one lost a mother and the other freind lost his DAD in a tragic accident.....he drove over a cliff, and wasnt found for a few days. I thinki both deaths most have taken an emotional toll on both of them. I got an email last week, saying that too much time had passwed since we socialized and that we should get together.....well, yestgerday, I was sitting here, typing an email, when I thought I heard one of their voices....I turned around and sure enought..there they were.....smiling...I finally was abole to give them a tour of the store.....which, they had never scene..and they were at one time, managers of a very large chain of stgores, which, went the way of a lot of businesses around here. BANKRUPT!!!!!
We laughed and reminised..They asked me about another pair of friends....Ron and ANdrea....and I told them I hadnt seen them in years either.......well, let it be called a coincidence, but RON, walked into the store today..all smiling and we cought up on the passed few years too.. Meeting both sets of freinds again, filled a void. ANd I was able to spend some time laughing, as I used to. Laughter....is vitamen L ...and I think most people do not get enough Vitamen L in their diet.... too bad you can buy a bottle of capsules of this Vitamen.....Well you can smoke some weed and if you are lucky you can start laughing for no reason at all.....but, I think to get the most our of Vitamen L, there has to be some reason for the laughter...not a chemical reation.. And besides, I can smoke that shit, I get paranoid... Reality is for people who dont do drugs...and I am hooked on reality.

A GREAT AND SIMPLE RECIPLE. kOSHER HAM SANDWHICHES....mEXICAN STYLE....OR WRAPS..

I USUALLY DO NOT BUY HAM..BUT IT WAS ON SALE AT THE A&P FOR 69 CENTS A POUND.....(ONE TO A CUSTOMER)....SO I KOSHERED IT BY CUTTING OF THE THIN END...BAKING IT WITH CLOVES STUCK INTO IT AND THEN PUTTING ON A GLAZE OF HONEY MIXED WITH GARLIC, SALT,PEPPER AND PAPRIKA. WHEN COOLED.....i THIN SLICED IT...PUT IT ON A SLICE OF BREAD AND POUR ON A LITTLE "TOSTITO" CHEESE SAUCE "MEDIUM SPICY) IT HAS JALEPINA PEPPERS AND STUFF IN IT) THEN PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE..... OR YOU CAN MAKE A WRAP OUT OF IT....SO VERY SIMPLE, AND ORGASMICALLY DELICIOUS... VERY SIMPLE, BUT YOUR TASTE BUDS WILL EXPLODE.. YOU CAN ALSO ADD, A BIT OF EXTRAS LIKE CHOPPED RAW CILANTRO, THINK SLICED PIMENTOS, OR SLICED OLIVES,ETC) YOU WOULDNT THINK ANYTHING THAT SIMPLE TO MAKE COULD BE SO VERY TASTY... A GOURMET DEIGHT.

Inspiration needed

I havent written any poetry in a long time....and I didnt even realizr this until today...Even though stress sometimes is the inspiration needed to write...but when one is very tired and stressed, the creativity level is diminished. My poetry isnt someting that I sit around and try to think of something to write about....it sort of jsut flows unexpectedly. Sometimes I just think of one line....a sentences just forms in my head....sometimes I dont even know where it comes from. I think about it all day..then at night..I might sit down, and begin the poem with the one line...not rally knowing what is coming next. YOu can look back in my blogs and see the last poem. Dont even remember how long ago I wrote my last one.
I am happy t o relate, that last week was the best week we had in at least 6 months.... ANd it isnt that we had hundreds of peple suddenly coming into the store.....no...we had a hand full of people with money, each spending a bunch of money,...Praise the LORD!!!

The Great TV Wasteland

Last night, a fell asleep early, but woke up during the night..a wonderful and rediculous program call the Verminatos...a reality program where they show Exterminators killing rats and bees and other thngs that infest homes....It showed them collecting a bunch of dead rats....and an extermnator being attacked by bees, then opening up a wall in a house to expose the largest honeycomb in captivity....
Then that program was followed by another rerality show about two doctors that perform stomach staples and intestinal bypasses. This program showed huge people before and after operations..........and other dermatological operations...which cold almsot make you puke. Reality pograms have gotten our of hand...They had the Plastic surgery program,....people living together in desserts, jungles, ALAsKA wilds and snowed in.....the reality program of teh Real housewives of NY and then the real Housewivs of NEW JERSEY...such very rich but low class peasants, and on and on...programs that make very little sense........what is next... The life and Times of a Proctologist....or maybe following a Hassidic Mohel(a mohel circumcises and what him running a clip joint.....I think the infatuation with reality shows has gotten our of hand....and the one that makes me laugh the most was ten guys who went to live in the house of a transexual.....and she elimiated one each week, until she ends up with the "man" of her dreams (or nightmare)....and one of the men, was a woman transexual...who now was a man. The program was supposed to be serious......but I think it was sick and hysterical....a great comedy.

I do not want to put things into words....but something very negative is going to happen...and if it does....I will defer back to this blog....
