"It's totally different," said David Koppy, who shares the 3,600-square-foot home with wife Elissa, children, Adam and Falynn, and dog, Shayna. "We feel like we're living in a brand new home." Armed with a custom set of architectural plans, Gittleman transformed the entire elevation, adding lodge-style cultured stone, preserving and redeploying existing brick, extending the porch and reconfiguring the garage roofline. Throughout the,project, the Koppys' daily routine was never disrupted — a critical point considering that David and Elissa run a home-based computer consulting company. The work went so well, in fact, David recommended the company for his sister's home renovation. So, if you're looking for a simple correction, or a dramatic home makeover, Gittleman has the answers. Just ask the Koppys. Call today, and discover how easily Gittleman can convert your house into your dream home.

The bewildered priest tries coughing to attract the man's attention, but still, the gent refuses to speak. The priest then knocks on the wall sev- eral times in a final attempt to get the man to say something. Finally, the drunk replies, "No use knockin' mate, there's no paper on this side either." OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept. ... From Bud Sherbow ... A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible!" "What do you mean? I'm fine." "What about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before." "Well," said the pirate, "we were in a battle at sea and a cannonball hit my leg, but the doc fixed me up, and I'm fine, really." "Oh yeah? Well, what about that hook? The last time I saw you, you had both hands." "Well, we were in battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off, but the doc fixed me with the hook, and I feel great, really." "Oh," said the bartender, "what about that eye patch? The last time you were in here you had both eyes." "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up and one of them took a dump in my eye." "You're kidding," said the bar- tender, "You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird doo!" "It was my first day with the hook," said the pirate. ❑ West Side Carpet... at East Side Prices 747350 20750 Hoover Road (3 miles south of 1-696) Open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and by appointment.

"After speaking to the owner of the restaurant, Gary Tringale, he promised to sub- stitute all three cheeses with soy cheese. The dish was deli- cious and I'm thrilled to be able to enjoy food at another restaurant in the area without worrying about the side effects that lactose intolerant peo- ple get from dairy products. "I know there are a lot of readers who suffer like I do from dairy products. Please call me so that we can compare notes on what products to buy at the store (some with dairy substitutes are just evil!) and what restaurants to go to. You can reach me at (248) 354-6060."
