And then you have to heat it....cool it....and fill it up with stuff that you probably don’t need or really want....even if it is really cheap.

The last thing I want to hear from a neurosurgeon is “close enough”

I have Hillary’s look on my face every time I have to correct the customer service people at my pharmacy benefit manager.

Really — do kids (or non-baby boomers) not know what a synthesizer is?

How about the episode with the home theater centered around what I think was a 12” TV......I know it was 15 years ago.....but still.

I have an f** off price, but I will usually adjust my regular rate down for an initial period if it is a long-term client who is bringing on their own new business and passing it to me.

Somehow I can believe that..although as a kid, I probably wouldn’t have. Now if someone can tell us if the humans behind Kukla Fran and Ollie were nice or not.

I think one or more were on the island at Herald Square. But I can’t recall seeing them recently...but, like you, I try to avoid certain areas where there are too many visitors.

There are some public toilets (the kind that are a kiosk on the street) that do essentially that. I can never remember if we still have them in NYC or if the City gave up on them.

Maybe I am feeling snarky this morning, but something tells me that OP may be a Wall St type...I wouldn’t see a medical professional reacting so defensively...even a mega trauma surgeon.

Even with kids you could have done a lot better....depending on their ages. I took my then seven year old nephew to see La Cage Aux Folles...terrific production and he had a great time....lots of slapstick, fancy costumes....kids will surprise you.

At the risk of sounding 1%...Mme Paulette is an AMAZING dry cleaner...really more of a clothes/textile restorer. I wouldn’t take my regular boring clothes there...way too expensive for those. But for something really special or a stain that cannot be gotten out.....if you have the money...they are worth it.

Actually, I believe the mortgage deduction has a fair number of limits at the top end. That said, in some ways these are investments because (1) one needs to live SOMEWHERE and (2) it diversifies their investment portfolios. I mean, what if Kimye had all their monies in Enron back in the early 00’s

I think you just have to get him in the right setting. He was playing with his toddler (years ago) at Abingdon Square playground in the West Village....the kid was trying to toddle up the slide or something and it was looking pretty scary. My brother in law was there with my slightly older nephew and Stewart looked at…

A friend met Clinton in a hotel lobby years ago.....he said Clinton was 200% smooth charm and focused until an attractive young lady walked by and all of a sudden it was, “Hey, Friend, Gotta go!”

agreed...my sister met her when she and ryan were looking for someone to work as a PA at their home......Both were lovely - basic - but lovely.

And yet so many have....

I worked with someone who met Mr. Talley at Church and got a chance to go to the Paris shows with him (and have dinner with Lagerfeld)....Talley is over the top but incredibly knowledgeable about fashion and quite kind and generous.....

While I understand that some see “thug” as having racial overtones, I have to wonder if the issue is more about a woman calling them “thugs”....If it was a male mayor or other official, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the word “thug.” And it strikes me that mom who whooped her son on camera may well have used the word…

Agreed. I actually really like LGA - it’s manageable in size, user friendly and can’t beat the short trip from Manhattan...even by bus. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the giant airports, but honestly, if it has a newsstand and a Starbucks, I am pretty content. Yes, the runways seem a tad short at…
