StrangeSox Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Check out Sullivan's for a great steak dinner. I know there's one right in Naperville, but at the one in Omaha every single waitress was a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this? 1950? I feel like it's ridiculous not to have any warning systems. I didn't even know we were under a tornado warning today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So... I'm working on the May wallpaper and I discovered something unfortunate. It's a bad idea to do a Google image search for "old baseball glove" even in with moderate filter settings. PS don't do this at work if you decide to disregard my warning. You have been warned.

We had a ton of golfball sized hail where I live (the Fort). My car is pretty dented up, but thankfully none of my windows broke. Quite a few people in my apartment complex's parking lot did have windows smashed out, though, including my roommate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
