The girls who I think r cute or have a little something going for them r no problem. The ones who i talk to and think r great or who I think r really good looking r the ones who I can only sometimes hook up with. I don't act differently to them just because I think that they r more attractive so I know that it's not some signal that i'm sending out. What do u think? Has this happened to u. Maybe it's a "coincidence."

It's swing time for Village rat pack.


Former worker Marcus Bonner said some were 'this big!'


The rats took over W. Fourth St. Taco Bell/KFC early yesterday. And they didn't care who was watching.


It was enough to make you choke on your chalupa.
To the disgust of millions who watched on TV or in person, a gang of brazen rats took over a Taco Bell/KFC restaurant in Greenwich Village yesterday - scampering across tables like they owned the joint.

The vermin slid down the backs of chairs, left trails of droppings on the floor and glared at passersby through the window until health inspectors shut down the eatery on Sixth Ave. near W. Fourth St.

"I just ate there last night - I think I'm going to be sick," said Earl Heffintrayer, 29. "I'll never come back here again."

The invasion began a little after midnight, while the restaurant was closed, creating a public relations nightmare for Taco Bell just two months after an E.Coli outbreak at the chain.

Photographers and TV crews descended on the scene - and it almost seemed like the 20-odd rodents were playing to the crowd.

At one point, as a Daily News reporter pressed close to the window, a rat hopped over, stood on its hind legs, put its paws against the glass and stared back.

"He's coming for his close-up," a spectator quipped.

The stomach-churning images were soon flashed across the nation on the Internet and TV news shows, leaving Americans a little queasy over breakfast.

Those familiar with the location said the rat pack was not a surprise.

"It's the dirtiest place in the neighborhood," said Joel Cohen, whose apartment overlooks the restaurant. "It's a blight."

Marcus Bonner, 19, who had just finished his night shift at the McDonald's across the street, said he had been fired by Taco Bell because he complained about sanitary conditions at the eatery.

"There's a hole in the wall behind the grill," he said. "The rats come through the back of the building where the trash is kept."

By 10:30 a.m., a city Health Department inspector had arrived and quickly taped two yellow "Closed" notices on the windows.

The operator of the franchise, ADF Fifth Operating Corp., did not return calls, but the parent company was quick to respond.

"This is an isolated incident at a single restaurant ... and it is totally unacceptable," Taco Bell said in a statement. "The restaurant is closed and we will not allow it to be reopened until it has been sanitized and given a complete clean bill of health."

The company blamed "construction in the basement" of the two-story building.

The location was cited for a rat infestation Dec. 11 and the problem was remedied, said Mayor Bloomberg's spokesman Stu Loeser, who added that most city restaurants face health code violations at some point, correct them and reopen.

The number of rodent complaints has just about doubled since Mayor Bloomberg took office in 2002, climbing to 32,200 in the fiscal year ending June30. But a report this month showed a drop of 13% from last year.

The Village franchise is likely to be closed for days, but the fallout could linger longer.

Taco Bell has barely recovered from last year's E. Coli disaster, which was blamed on lettuce and made 70 people ill.

And it seems like investors lost their appetite a little. On a down day on the market, stock for Yum Brands Inc., which owns Taco Bell, fell 55 cents to $60.51.

I want to start building up my credit, I'm 21 and I have none. I was thinking of getting a Kohl's department store charge. They have great deals on clearance clothes there, and with the card it's usually an additional 10% off. Or would it be better for me to get a card through my bank or someone like Capital One? Any other suggestions on building my credit I would really appreciate. Thanks!

This the final religious(Sorry have loads more about every other subject) Question. Answer me this Please and take your time to read it.Reply in your OWN words.I will not read quotes from your scriptures as my understanding(all be it rather simple) is they are all without exception written by a man or womans hand in the first place (as I think we can agree, all of us humans have faults and floors,so even with the best will in the world we make mistakes) this is blind faith which I feel is wrong eg. In the extreme case when you would go and blow yourself and others to bits because you think its right to do so.The question is.If I ruled over a country and saw that my people were staving, children dieing and man was killing man because he wanted to control others for his own personal gain.If I had the power to stop this,and could make everyone respect each other,get on and help each other.But Instead just stood back and watched this all going on.Would this make me rather sick or GOD ?

I had an interview recently for a job that is perfect for me!! I currently commute about an hr (one way), and this new job would be a maximum of 15 minutes away!!
I interviewed with the department manager, and it felt that we really clicked. After we were finished, she said that she wanted me to meet her boss. She went and got her boss, and the boss proceeded to give me a 'mini-interview'. Both of them seemed impressed and interested with the interview. She said she thought I would be a good fit in her department. She closed by saying that a final decision would be made in a couple of weeks.
Is that normal???
