Poll: Does It Make Me A Bad Perspon If I Don’t Wanna Clean Up Someone Else’s Pee On A Public Toilet Seat

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here’s the scenario:

You walk into a public bathroom to relieve myself (number 1) and the one toilet in there has the toilet seat down and someone else’s pee all over it.

I’m just not gonna be the guy who grabs toilet paper and cleans off someone else’s pee.

Would you clean off the toilet seat first?

Somebody Tell Paul! It’s an R.D. Invasion

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey,

When visiting Chatham on Sunday we spotted a familiar yet unsettling sight: an army of R.D.’s has invaded Chatham. So we felt it vitally important to alert Paul and the rest of the GoodMorningGloucester audience. The R.D. army has set up shop in a new toy store on Main Street in Chatham. There are doctor ducks, chef ducks, bride ducks, groom ducks. No way to know what their next move is but Ruby and Luke recommend keeping them under close surveillance.

"Letters, E-Mail, Texts — What’s Next?", a podcast episode of "On Point with Tom Ashbrook"

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From NPR-

Letters, E-Mail, Texts — What’s Next?

Letters are dead. E-mail outdated. Text messages so passé. What’s going on with how we communicate?

Text messages passe?  Jeeze I’m a huge fan of the simple text message to get my point across in a pinch.

Letters totally dead.  Email outdated?  I’m a dinosaur I guess.

A very special meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club April 12

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

200

The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club is delighted to have Dr. Mario Motta as our speaker for the April 12 GAAC meeting. Mario will address the serious threats to our dark skies (and our health!) here on Cape Ann and elsewhere.

Dr. Motta will discuss the human health issues caused by light pollution, and will outline important reasons for good lighting practices, which include energy savings, better seeing at night, and a variety of important environmental problems. This will be a fun and informative meeting on an issue that is critical to us all.

Mario has worked on light pollution issues since 1990, was instrumental in getting a light pollution policy adopted by Gloucester, and is working for similar legislation statewide. He is a founding member of NELPAG (new England Light Pollution advisory group), is on the IDA board, and has gotten both the Massachusetts Medical Society and the AMA to adopt light pollution measures for health reasons. He is on the AMA Council of Science and Public Health, and led a 2 year effort on a compilation of light pollution’s health issues that was adopted by the AMA as policy in 2012.

GAAC meets on the second Friday of every month at the Lanesville Community Center at 8:00pm. There is no cost. We’re on the web at http://gaac.us and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/gaacpage

PSA To All You Kids Out There- You Think The First Time This Broad Popped A Pill She Ever Imagined That She’d End Up A Mess like This?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Andrea Cortois posted this to twitter-

This girl could have been attractive.  She could have been a lot of things.  But look at her.

A mess.

Think any addict starts out taking drugs thinking they were ever going to end up blowing ugly dudes so they can afford their next fix?  Think anyone ingests balloons full of drugs only to shit them out to smuggle them or hide them because they’re normal?

Here’s a little suggestion for you-

Don’t think you’re stronger than the drug.   It doesn’t matter how strong willed you think you might be.  Imagine if the chance of you got addicted was only 10% even though it’s way higher.  Would you take a 10% chance that you’d ever end up looking like this chick?

Would you take a 10% chance that you’d end up getting screwed by ugly dudes for money to buy drugs because you were that desperate?

Do yourself a favor and find other ways to distract yourself.  Throw yourself into creating art.  Throw yourself into sports or working out.  Throw yourself into taking higher education classes.

Throw yourself into anything but taking drugs.  Not once.  Not ever.

Don’t be the chick with horrible acne screwing ugly dudes for money to buy dope.
