No, they’re going to be walking around with their hands out whining about how they are on a fixed income and can’t afford to live here anymore, and the sensitive politicians will just jack up my property taxes to pay for the irresponsible to be housed on my dime. It’s like that grasshopper and the ant fairy tale.…

Would make me run towards. Chimes are supremely annoying. I cut down a neighbor’s in the middle of the night while he was away one time. My deep thoughts require stillness.

Wind chimes should be outlawed. Who the fuck wants to hear that damn tinkling all day, every day?!

I have a lot of friends who never bought, and have paid Manhattan rents for decades. Setting aside the scandalous amount they have handed to someone over the years... I just don’t understand their plan for the future. Most of them have minimal savings, because Manhattan living is expensive. And they have no big…

In a (not-so-) great irony, New York City annually raises homeowners’ property taxes, and spends billions on publicly-funded “affordable housing” for the failures who can’t afford to pay market rents. As opposed to my plan, which is “If you can’t afford the rent in NYC, go live in New Jersey”.

I bought my house in ‘97 when rates were at like 6% for a 30-year. A few years later rates plummeted and we refinanced to a 3% or so 15-year for about the same monthly payment. We then prepaid like mad and were done with the mortgage by 2009 or so. The joy of not sweating your living arrangements can’t be overstated.…

You read my mind!

Wedding is one thing, but you really need to try and synchronize child-bearing with your friends. I was among the first of my pals to get married, and had my kid a solid 5+ years before the next guy took the plunge.

In Game 162 of his last season in NY Jose Reyes lead off the utterly meaningless game with a bunt single and promptly left, more or less assuring himself the batting title. The first batting title ever for a Met, and the first positive thing that happened for us in about 5 years. The outcry from self-certified…

God no. He has to live forever.

“Every brunch joint in New York has a $13 bowl of steel-cut oats on the menu.”

It’s also great to shut down sports arguments with Philthadelphians. “Hey, gimme a call when you win a super bowl.”

I’m with you. I’ve never seen a cogent explanation about what was wrong with the Muslim one - it clearly was saying extremists are bad, not”All Muslims are terrorists!” as the media claimed. But this one was just stupid, and asking to be fired.

If you stick with Stalin and Castro/Guevara you should be OK.

What a self-righteous, moral preening load of horse shit. I’ve been to hundreds of games and have never heard anything of the sort. Go whine about the Oscars or something.

The Daily News has been largely unconcerned with the truth over the past year or so. It’s all about the agenda they’ve embraced, and this story fits it. It’s very sad, used to be a good paper.

Sometimes I could swear the checkout kid is messing with me. I lay out the stuff perfectly in sequence on the belt, with spaces to delineate different categories (and even bags), and yet they’ll still mix shit up, put like one thing in a bag so I have 400 bags, stuff boxes in the bag so it rips...

“Led Zeppelin just numbering their first four albums.”

New York has won like 23 championships in my lifetime and I don’t recall seeing any of this. I get that Philly teams rarely win anything so the locals get excited, and it’s not like there’s much besides shitty sandwiches, a cracked bell, and scrapple to occupy residents otherwise, but try and emulate your betters up…

I worked with a germaphobe who wiped down her entire workspace with rubbing alcohol 2-3 times a day, finishing off by giving her hands a good scrub. They were so red and raw it was painful to look at. She rarely got sick, though.
