- luchsheetut1 : Hack again?!
- Guest_1837 : hi?
- Guest_2330 : So has the Post Register stopped charging for online content? I may have missed an announcement or something, but since they redesigned their website suddenly I can read everything there without a subscription.
- Guest_4614 : Just ender your user name and password then, hit enter. If that doesn't work perhaps your forgot one of them - so you'd need to contact admin.
- Frank, Frank Rizzo : How do you get posts to show up? I havent posted here in months till search brought me here. now the posts arent showign up
- Guest_3181 : Hey, good for her! Looks like a great day for the parade and fair starting in Blackfoot!
- Michael Coats : For those wondering what ever happened to Crystal Egger (i get emails all the time) you can watch her on the weather channel «link»
- Guest_3181 : oh who cares
- Neal Larson : Ya -- sign me up too... I love it when my computer gets infected with a virus... Good call, Michael!
- Michael coats : well since it's free, and my computer has been dying to catch some malware
- Guest_3181 : Good lord the channel 6 website is so lame, they've had the same "breaking news" in red at the top of the screen since Friday. Their news stories never change, except every few days. Seems like a lot more people are going KIDK reporters wanting in depth stories. At least they update their news!
- Alice : I've always wondered about that. I wonder if paint and concrete and other wet items are dry by the time they are done.
- Guest_120 : I can't beilive they got that house on Extreme Makeover done so quick. In just a few days. Must be a cheapo. I thought houses would take longer to erect. If it's not a chepo, then I was done at an amazing fast speed.
- Guest_4331 : Michael coats, you are awesome! Thanks for the update. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the rain today, and planning on the chuckers game tonight - I was wondering if they'd have called it off. Anyway - thanks! You're the greatest!
- Guest_007 : great movie!
- sassy.sunshine : Tauphaus park is having a dance competition & car show today. I believe a free movie (the blind side) @ 10 tonight.
- Michael coats : But I think the Chuckars will take the field
- Michael coats : thunderstorms, that's whats happening, but I the Chuckars may still take the field later
- Guest_2428 : is there anything happening to day
- Guest_007 : Good Morning Idaho Falls!
- Ty Pennington : You can't believe anything I say. Except this.
- Guest_3181 : Great time at the Warrant/Cinderel la, etc. concert last night - but what is up with people who bring 4 year olds to concerts????
- Alice : Grandmothers are very wise.
- Michael coats : too good to be true as my grandmother always said
- Guest_1326 : hello?
- Ty Pennington : is this town as dead as this site?
- Guest_5309 : Next time you see Butch Otter be sure to thank him for standing up the big corporations and not Idahoans or Idaho businesses
- Guest_5309 : Otter chose not to fine Molina despite how they have screwed over hundreds of Idaho businesses and tens of thousands of Idaho residents this year in delayed Medicaid payments
- Guest_5309 : we saw Governor Buth Otter's true colors this week when he sided with California-based Molina over Idaho healthcare providers
- Ty Pennington : I just got back in town; where's my trailer,what's the status of my secret project, and where are my babe fans?
- Guest_3181 : I think the story about Bergdahl is a bunch of crap.
- Guest_4223 : Taliban, rather
- Guest_4223 : Idaho POW converted to Islam and teaching skills to Al-Queda? «link»
- Guest_3181 : Channel 8 website is doing a nice job of covering the Extreme Makeover house in Pocatello. Tons of photos and video. Kudos!
- Guest_3181 : If you guys think that was the actual Ty P. - then I have a condo to sell you in Florida.
- Guest_828 : you can see the graffiti in the cam above, on the extreme left. it's green
- Guest_4934 : Ty: Thanks for your great work on the show over the years. Can you please introduce an element of 'earning the reward' into your show. The kids especially are overly spoiled with what they get. You should give them new things as part of a reward system. They need to EARN what they get. Don't just pile it on them because they won't appreciate it unless they earn it.
- Frank : Ty get to work and quit looking at porn again we are here to help this family out not look at porn
- Guest_4934 : Ty: only a handful of people come here regularly. Wrong place to generate energy. Call the radio stations and ask them to put you on the air NOW! Call KLCE first @ 782-9797.
- Ty Pennington : I'm shooting a new series pilot in Idaho Falls today: Extreme Makeover: Pimple Edition you're all going to love it
- Ty Pennington : I seem to be missing a big bus, has anyone seen it?
- Ty Pennington : call my assistant if you need me to amp up the energy here
- Ty Pennington : I guess i'll go back to my trailer then
- Ty Pennington : is this where locals chat or what?!?!
- Ty Pennington : good afternoon Idaho Falls, come on out here!
- Guest_3181 : governor otter is blowing his top at the debate with keith allred
- Guest_1382 : is that right?
- Juggalo : Foreclosure rates in Utah, Idaho, Illinois and Colorado rose in the second quarter compared with a year earlier, and rank among the 10 highest in the country.
- Alice : I don't think it would take going to the city to have vendors out on Sunday because they are set up on private property. I would think all they would have to do is pay a small entry fee for Sunday, which they probably already pay for Saturday, and get the OK of the land owner, but I could be wrong.
- Alice : To answer the question further down on the chat, I'm not open on Sundays because I'm the only one that works there, and I need time off, and that's the only reason . Plus that leaves me a day to spend money elsewhere, so yes, there is money to be made on Sunday.
- Guest_4223 : was that a joke or did that happen?
- Guest_4223 : where is the graffitti tagging on the falls?
- Guest_5813 : which bridge?
- Guest_5813 : on the bridge?
- Guest_5813 : where at?
- Guest_3974 : someone tagged the falls! how long will it take to get that graffiti removed?
- Guest_738 : Alice try to get in some more wolf stuff. And some good Jones Soda!
- Guest_738 : Shadow Domain is the Bomb!
- Juggalo : if no1 else is using this our family of east Idaho Juggalos can move in
- Guest_0824 : if this site is declared dead, what is the cause? boredom? neglect? suicide?
- Guest_0824 : hope they don't take a week to approve my audio recording or that could be a boring conversation
- Guest_0824 : i will go back to my old discussion ways, where i speak into a tape recorder, pass it to an authority to approve, then they play what i had to say to everyone in the room
- Guest_0824 : i do suppose the fact that a comment takes a week or more to get approved could have some bearing on why people have stopped commenting and writing stories
- Guest_0824 : then again it was a comment in the discussion about if this site is dying
- Guest_0824 : is anyone moderating comments here anymore? i made a comment last week and it still shows pending approval
- Guest_0824 : i shor hope they come back next yar
- Guest_0824 : how about dem ducks?
- Guest_3069 : someone needs to plant a boot in Arthur Vailas' a$$
- Guest_3069 : what the hell good are all these communications channels ISU setup if they fail to use them on a day like today when thousands of their customers are trying to get critical information from them
- Guest_1839 : ...t know squat. Those who have religious reasons, please give up your pride for the ones who would be glad to help your business out. By the way Alice. How come you aren't open on Sunday? LOL.
- Guest_3069 : and no word from isu: nothing on their website about it, nothing on their facebook, nothing on their twitter
- Guest_1839 : Alice. I love your store. Very nice and friendly. I think we would have to put in a request to the city, and then go to the city hall meetings and bring it up for a vote. I'm not sure though, considering its not a city issue as far as I can see. It's probably just word of mouth. Please take our advice people. There are plenty of people who would be proud to patronage you business, if you were open on Sunday, mostly for the convenience. Whoever says there is no money to be made on Sunday, doesn
- Guest_3069 : a lot of people waiting and counting on that money being deposited this morning, which now means rent, groceries, school supplies all over east idaho have to be put on hold thanks to ISU
- Guest_3069 : nobody's answering at ISU, keeps telling you your call is important until you hear nothing at all anymore
- Guest_3069 : isu fail whale today if any local reporters are interested: isu was to deposit several hundreds of thousands of dollars in students' accounts today but their new system failed, and isu phone lines are jammed with people trying to get answers
- Alice : I hope I'm the same one if you like the store I'm the one that run's Shaddow Domain. I wonder who we would talk to to suggest the Sunday thing... anybody know?
- Guest_4397 : I would love to see the Farmers Market and other vendors on Sunday. I am not LDS, so maybe I'm just part of the minority. I think its a great idea though Alice. By the way...I just love your store. That is if you are the same Alice I am thinking of. Take care all, and have a great day. Peace!
- Alice : I would really like to visit the farmer's markets on Saturdays, but I work every Saturday. Do you think there would be much interest in the community if vendors that wanted to would set up on Sundays? What do you think?
- Guest_4173 : Shut up
- Guest_2111 : I for one, am sick and tired of the greenbelt craze. get over it peeps. the greenbelt has been expanded a million times. there is plenty of greenbelt. Lets get some funding for more important stuff...like paying our teachers better wages, and using the money for schools. Not frivolous stuff.
- Alice : I'm kind of excited about the greenbelt expansion, as with the other projected plans for the city. I feel we need change here, and it seems that we have to examine things to death to get it. maybe it won't work, but let's try some new things. If they don't work, we'll try other new things.
- Guest_738 : I've never been a big fan of the Greenbelt. The only time I go there is during the Art Show. My biggest concern about the park is how it will affect my commute home. I always go down Riverside Parkway and I heard they were planning putting a roundabout there; I suppose if that's the case I'll take another way home. I'm glad they aren't closing off Memorial Drive and I believe that looking into parking was a good idea. Now if they can just get rid of that eyesore right next to Smitty's I'
- Guest_5813 : cuz that's private property (but since we're being snarky, why haven't you offered to tear down your home for parking?)
- Guest_2437 : Why dont they tear down that big white building... and building next to it for parking...
- Guest_5813 : the council said the comments have been running 95% in favor of it, so we are just hearing an extremely vocal 5% minority who don't like to see any progress or changes
- Guest_5813 : within 1 year of it being finished people will wonder why we didn't do it sooner, and will start talking about eliminating that little 2-lane remainder road also
- Guest_5813 : the memorial drive proposal is one of the best ideas in Idaho Falls in the last 20 years
- Guest_738 : Not too much longer till the Memorial Drive proposal gets voted on. What's everyone's thought on this? I don't want it but I'm sure it's a done deal.
- Neal Larson : lol
