Anyone wanna go hang out in prospect park today and torture the parents by offering their kids a ton of sweets? :)

Why did Mr B pull the affordable housing in ENY thread?
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 9:18 AM
oh...I didn't mean that in the pervy sense...see the article on ice cream trucks and parents from the NYT.

Good Morning Asshats!
Hope you took a booze break for the weekend and are resting up for Williamsburg drinkfest tomorrow. Some of you (including myself) will need to drink a lot so that the skinny hipsters start looking like charming Asians and/or Latinos.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:19 AM
DH, I wondered too...I think they messed up in the posting...when it appeared it should have gone up above the 'Wednesday Links' but for some reason posted below it. Maybe they are fixing a bug?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:20 AM
Snappy, I would also walk around humming the Mr. Softy tune.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:20 AM
Ah. I'll have to miss this week's drinkfest. My podiatry appt. got pushed back to Friday and there's no way I can make it out with my foot and leg like this :( Someone drink a few for me!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:21 AM
DH, weird. I saw it before. Maybe because it was meant to go after the Wednesday Blogwrap thing and he'll repost it later on in the day?
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:21 AM
DH,
It published early by mistake--will be up a little later...

Mr. B, I hope you're not suffering from premature ePublication.

ooh - sneak preview! gotcha, thx mr b!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 9:26 AM
Biffy! You aren't supposed to ask him about that! That's private :)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:26 AM
Snappy come, I can pick you up and drop you off. No need for buses and/or trains.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:26 AM
lol @ conversation i overheard getting coffee just before. some guy was like "did you see that beautiful girl with that goofy guy?" i had to laugh cuz i saw it too. it was possibly the ugliest guy ever with this total model chick. she was giving him a backrub while they were on line and kissing his neck. she was also about 2 feet taller then him. totally strange site. also what is up with the M train? sometimes ill take the M train instead of the R cuz it's right there and it stops not too far from my job anyway but there is never ANYONE on the train! most of the time im literally the only one in the entire car for many stops between downtown brooklyn and downtown manhattan.

haha Rob - it's amazing what you'll see in that starbucks!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 9:28 AM
hahahah biff.
im still pondering about tomorrow night. williamsburg scares me almost as much as peacocks.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at August 19, 2009 9:28 AM
By the way, if anyone in Kensington wants me to pick them up on the way, let me know.
CGar and Biff, I can actually grab you on the way as well since both of you are RIGHT off the highway so it's totally on my way to the burg so let me know as well.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:28 AM
Kens, thanks but I really can't do it this time. My whole leg is a mess. I need to stay off of it until I find out what's wrong.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:29 AM
I'm putting my order in now for a pick up at the corner of 55th & park Ave at around 5:45. Is that doable, Kens?
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 9:31 AM
Rob, he prolly got money. That's what my explanation to these situations is.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:31 AM
Before you guys go to the bar - make sure you walk 1.5 blocks north and admire the stunning architecture on Bayard St/Karl Fischer Row. lol
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 9:32 AM
Don't get gready Dave. you can take the train to Brooklyn Heights and I can pick you up from the A stop around 6:20-6:30ish.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:33 AM
"CGar and Biff, I can actually grab you on the way as well since both of you are RIGHT off the highway so it's totally on my way to the burg so let me know as well."
Thanks Kens, but I'm likely going directly from work. In an incredibly rare and unexpected display of some semblance of interpersonal skills, my boss (Darth, or Mr. Vader to you) invited all the Jedis out for afternoon food and drinks tomorrow, so I'll likely go there directly from the restaurant. But thanks so much for the offer!

Brilliant Snappy, I'm in! I loved the woman whose kid had a melt down and she's blaming it on the ice cream vendor! How 'bout you try to be a parent to your kid and explain to them that they can't have everything they see/want! That might be a good idea. Good lord!!

Biff, maybe he has a feeling that you're considering abandoning the ship AKA Death Star?
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:36 AM
DH, I think Biff will still manage to change because no way he is going to wear the monkey suit to Willyburg.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 9:37 AM
Cobble, let's gather up some pixie sticks, pop rocks, now and laters, lemon heads, mike & ikes, cans of mountain dew and for good measure, candy cigarettes and head to the park with a bull horn shouting "FREE SUGAR TO ALL THOSE UNDER 4 FEET TALL!" hahahaha!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:41 AM
Snappy - I'll get a wheel chair for you & a little bell & you can hold an ice chest in your lap & we'll hit all the playgrounds. When the kids ask for an ice pop we'll tell them they're sold out & the moms will have melt-downs & complain to the Times that vendors aren't selling enough!
Posted by: Arkady at August 19, 2009 9:42 AM
hahahah snappy. im game. we can dress up and be the candy homos of prospect park. that sounds so wrong.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at August 19, 2009 9:43 AM
LOL!! Snappy, the more sugar the better! I say we just toss little bags out as we go! Leave trails of them! Like some demented pied pipers!
What do these women do when they take the kid to the supermarket with them? Put blinders on them? Where is the sense of personal responsibility for teaching your child? What happens when they walk by the ice cream store? Or the candy store on every corner? Should they all have PLAIN BROWN WRAPPERS ON THE WINDOWS??!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 9:45 AM
You shouldn't be asking what a Bjork is DIBS. You should be asking what the "Cremaster Cycle" is.

Hmm, oh so devious Arkady...I like it!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 9:47 AM
Arkady...yes! I love it :)
Rob, that does sound wrong!
Cobble, perhaps they do use blinders! Some f*cknut in that thread just told me I have no right to talk about dealing with kids since I don't have any. Here we go again!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:49 AM
i think part of the problem is that a lot of kids in park slope are deprived of the great things in life, treats that one should NOT have all the time, but occassionally. you know, things that make a kid happy like a happy meal at mcdonalds or an ice cream cone from mr. softee. part of me thinks the parents NEVER give them any of that stuff as a treat thinking it's terrible for them blah blah blah, so of course these poor deprived children are going to have a tempter tantrum when they cant have a happy meal and are forced to eat a dry tasteless tofu burger or something. so i dont really blame the kids for having tantrums, hells i would.. the parents are to blame for depriving the crotchfruit of today the pleasures in life. but that's okay, im sure they will all be addicted to oxycontin by their 16th birthdays.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at August 19, 2009 9:51 AM
hey all. is anyone a member of the park slope food co-op? once i can ride my bike again, i'm thinking of joining. love the cute little farmer's market near me but it is redonk expensive. had a couple of questions about the co-op. i know it's a madhouse on the weekends but is it reasonably easy to get in and out during the evenings? like 7-8pm? is there a good place to lock up a bike outside? how hard is it to get a weekend work shift? general thoughts? thanks!!!
Posted by: CG_ups at August 19, 2009 9:53 AM
Arkady...the forum post on separating lots is prime for your article on tiny houses overseas that we talked about via email.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:54 AM
CG...I have seen places to lock up a bike outside. The rest, unfortunately, I can't answer for you :(
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 9:55 AM
"Biff, maybe he has a feeling that you're considering abandoning the ship AKA Death Star?"
I don't think he knows about my potential offer, but we had a couple of Jedis fly away recently and I think senior management is starting to realize they need to keep the remaining Jedis happy. Quite a change from a year ago when we were all worried about job security.
"DH, I think Biff will still manage to change because no way he is going to wear the monkey suit to Willyburg."
In the words of the immortal What, "DING DING DING"! I think I might have to go home and change. I cannot go to Williamsburg in a suit. Even if I wanted to, by that time I would be sweating like Paris Hilton on Jeopardy.
*throws a pair of cufflinks to Kens*
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 9:56 AM
Thanks, Snaps. I'll look. Got carried away on the i.c. thread.
Sorry you're still ailing & that the appt was pushed back - that sucks. Did you tell them you're in agony?
How's the baby today?
Since you're stuck for 3 more days, do you need any errands?

If you have a change of clothes with you - you can change at my crib, which is 50 paces from the bar. When the bathroom lines get long at this bar, I actually go home to pee. It's great.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 10:04 AM
i was on a nice long bike ride last night, what is the road that has the center separated bike lane that takes you south from Flushing towards the manhattan bridge, and to the Dumbo waterfront? - the center bike lane was really cool.
and fyi - kent is torn up from division to flushing, I guess they are working fastidiously making it one way.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 10:04 AM
I begged them to not move the appt. but no good. The really bad thing is I'm out of vicodin now and will have to bear the pain. I don't have any errands at the moment. (thank heavens I did some serious food shopping not long ago) The wee one is really taxing me. Now he's hurling :(
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:04 AM
Yippee! CG_ups brought up the Park Slope Food Coop in the same thread as Park Slope Moms! This is awesome! Anyone want to work strollers into this, too, for a trifecta?!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:04 AM
I've never been to a place where the men's bathroom linbe gets long. What's that all abouit????
The Chinese bf might show up. Can we have sex in the bathroom???
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 10:05 AM
Ignore that f*cknut Snappy. We were children, we know children, we're related to children. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know when to say NO to a child, and how to teach them that they CANNOT HAVE EVERYTHING. ooooh, I feel a rant coming on!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:06 AM
"I've never been to a place where the men's bathroom linbe gets long. What's that all abouit????"
There are two unisex bathrooms. Dave - it's Williamsburg, there are lines outside the bathroom because of the lines inside the bathroom. ;)
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 10:10 AM
DH, sounds like a good way to pick up girls right at the bathroom line and take them to your place.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 10:11 AM
Snappy - Since they moved the appt, can't they phone in a scrip to your pharmacy? (Take a look at your email)
Posted by: Arkady at August 19, 2009 10:11 AM
Cobble, I'll be ranting right along with you! When my mom comes to visit and we take a stroll, her eyes always bug out when she sees parents trying to convince their kids to do one thing or another. I always look at her and say, "see...I could have been like that and then grown up to be a snot who thought I could/should always have what I want...the gay thing isn't so bad now, is it?" Ha!

Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 10:12 AM
Hey, thanks so much, DH, but I think I'll go home first. I'm just worried I might have 6 drinks during the course of the afternoon and I'm sure the last thing you want is a tipsy, curious, disheveled investment banker at your doorstep. Kens, I might take you up on the ride after all. I'll shoot you an email.
By the way, the dentist appt I had scheduled that conflicted with the last drink up was moved to tomorrow night. I have to move it again. At the rate these gatherings are now taking place, I might not have my choppers checked until 2010!
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 10:13 AM
Hi Cobblehiller, Hi Biff long time no talk.
" I think I might have to go home and change. I cannot go to Williamsburg in a suit."
Just roll on the ground Biff and you will fit right in Williamsburg.
"If you have a change of clothes with you - you can change at my crib, which is 50 paces from the bar."

Don't do it Biff! That sounds like Dave!

Hahah biff - do you still have your PBR necklace? I think you'll fit right in if you wear it!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 10:15 AM
Unfortunately they won't call in scrips for things like vicodin :( waaaaah!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:15 AM
Hurling kitty doesn't sound good - can you phone the vet? What about the other end - maybe a blockage?
Posted by: Arkady at August 19, 2009 10:18 AM
Biff, you should just schedule your appointments on another evening other than Thursdays. Email me tomorrow whenever if you want me to get you.
My building garage ramp was repaved yesterday evening so hopefully it dries and I can get access to my car by tomorrow evening. How long does cement take to dry usually?
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 10:18 AM
That's beautiful Snappy, so perfect!
My short friends, one of whom was here yesterday, ask for things all the time. If it's too much, I say, "No, I'm sorry sweetie, you had X earlier and you're going to have the little treat we got earlier after dinner tonight. That's enough for today." And junior usually thinks about it for a minute and then moves on to the next thing we're doing. Done. No crying, no fits. They know there are limits. Is that so hard?
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:20 AM
Hiya What, glad to see you back and full of "zip & zing"! Did you have a good break?
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:20 AM
I think he started hurling from eating too fast. I was going to steam him some rice and boil a piece of chicken for him, but my leg was killing me so standing was not an option. Instead I took some of the dry food and soaked it in warm water to make it mushy. He loved it and was chomping like it was his last meal. I think I'm going to have to introduce him to the idea of portion control!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:21 AM

Hi What. How was the vacation? I thought you were away until September?
"Don't do it Biff! That sounds like Dave!"
LOL. Funny, but DH and I have been drunk around each other now a few times and both passed the curiosity test with flying colours. DH only has eyes for the ladies.
DH, no, I retired that necklace at the last shindig (actually, it fell off as I was dancing like a fool to jester's version of 2Pac's Changes). I'll have to bring string along tomorrow night to make a new one.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 10:23 AM
Also, there were no 'discussions' with my parents. You got two or three stock answers: No, We'll see, and yes. That was it.
Any fits or tantrums were met with "We can go home right now, if you don't stop" or "Go stand in the corner until you calm down". Yes, I had to stand in the corner. Facing the wall!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:24 AM
CHiller - Maybe that's what piqued your interest in architecture & decorating & moldings! We'd never have met you if you hadn't faced the wall!
Posted by: Arkady at August 19, 2009 10:27 AM
"Also, there were no 'discussions' with my parents. You got two or three stock answers: No, We'll see, and yes. That was it. "
Exactly! We also got the "We'll see, but if you start bugging me then the answer is NO!"
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:28 AM
Arkady LOL! All those years of standing in the corner pays off! Ha
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:29 AM
It sounds to me like Park Slope parents need to slap their snot nosed crotch fruit around a little bit.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 10:31 AM
Arkady, You know...you may have something there! I was particularly familiar with the baseboard molding...and to this day, I scrub them clean regularly!! AHA! You have spared me years of therapy!!
"We'll see, but if you start bugging me then the answer is NO!"
I see you have met my father!!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:35 AM
Snappy - Nobody is looking at the tinyurl - they're all dealing w/ building codes. Sigh.
Posted by: Arkady at August 19, 2009 10:36 AM
LOL Cobble! Perhaps our parents traded tips!
Arkady...I saw that. That stinks. It's a really great article too. Post it in here.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:40 AM
Kens, thanks very much, as always, but I'll probably go to W'burg directly from work. But, if you're picking DIBS up at 55th & Park, I'll walk over a block and you can pick me up at 47th & Park.

[Cobble, although I'd prefer you not refer to me as one of your "short friends", I appreciate your not telling everyone about the tantrum I threw yesterday when you wouldn't let me have ice cream, or about sending me out to my tent to "think about my behavior"]

Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 19, 2009 10:46 AM
ROFL Cargar!!! And did you think about your behavior while sulking in your tent? :)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:47 AM
Speaking of tomorrow's gathering, NPR had a feature this morning on the adult spelling bee at Pete's Candy Store. Have you seen that, DH?
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 19, 2009 10:49 AM
Six, the only thing left is for Jscheff to post a thread asking if cats are better than dogs :) He seems to like brewing up a bit of controversy!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:49 AM
I did, Snapppy, and don't tell Cobble I told you, but she eventually gave me ice cream too!

I thought you responded quite well to your 'time out' in the tent. You were a happy camper for the rest of the evening, and a delight to have around. Now if you're good, tomorrow we can go to the toy store!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:51 AM
Shhhh, CGar, I'm trying to promote active responsible parenting here!!

LOL
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:53 AM
LOL!! I'm actually considering not going now that CGar outed me for caving on the ice cream!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 10:55 AM
See what you've done now, Cargar? No toys for you! Think about *that* in your tent. Hmph!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 19, 2009 10:58 AM
I am moving next weekend (from one spot in the slope to another). Can anyone recommend a moving company? I just need a couple of guys with a truck. White glove service not required. Just need reliable and trustworthy people. I'm much more focused on trustworthiness than cost.

Movers Not Shakers. They offer options where you don't have to use cardboard boxes, which is nice.

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at August 19, 2009 11:02 AM
lechacal, I have used Movers, Not Shakers, and I like them a lot. They were super capable, reasonable, very tidy and helpful. They even fixed a table with loose legs for me, unasked.
I think there was a forum thread at one point about them. Many of my friends have used them, too, and liked them a lot. But the forum thread had a few 'dings' against them.

Re: Arkady's 11:11, I wonder if, in large and highly populated cities like NY, we will ever come to accept that type of housing. Does anyone think the 'bigger is always better' movement is just a phase or a permanent fixture?

lechacal, I had a very good experience with the folks at Flatrate. Prior to that, I had a debacle with another company when moving just a couple blocks on the Upper East Side. It cost me thousands of dollars and I had a lot less crap than I have now (I was single at the time). STAY AWAY from Russian movers, with all due respect to Kens. They basically charged way in excess of the estimate and won't release your stuff from the trucks (if you have to keep anything in storage) unless you pay them everything.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 11:20 AM
"Now if you're good, tomorrow we can go to the toy store!"
My mother used to "drag" me into the City from CT as a child, and she would bribe me to behave. If I was good ALL DAY, our last stop would be FAO Schwarz, where I was allowed to pick out one toy, and I would invariably go for a Steiff animal, the most expensive stuffed animal I could lay my hands on.
[Cobble, are we going to FAO Schwarz later?]
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 11:22 AM
I also highly recommend OZ Moving.

lechacal, I have a few friends who have had great experiences with Flatrate. I recently used Gentle Giant, which is fantastic, but they may be more "white glove" than it sounds like you want. I would recommend you avoid Moishe's and Schleppers!

Lech
Whatever you do, please please tip the movers well. I worked for a moving company for years and it astounded me that people wouldn't tip these guys anything or tip them $10 for moving all their precious crap without a scratch
morning all - I too finalllllly have a closing date and I a moving into a condo turned rental in the slope - haha this should be interesting

Gem - in your opinion what is an acceptable amount to tip a crew of movers? Last time I was really torn as I know a tip was necessary, but had no frame of reference
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 19, 2009 11:48 AM
Chinese people burp all the time. It's a cultural thing.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 11:49 AM
DIBS - yesterday moreforless mentioned burping in the faces of smokers at bars as retaliation for second hand smoke. i was making a joke about that warranting an asskicking, since the thought of some stranger coming up to me in a bar and burping in my face for whatever reason has haunted me for the past day. seriously, that kinda thing is just uncalled for.
Posted by: CG_ups at August 19, 2009 11:51 AM
I saw the comment yesterday, CG. I think burping in the face of someone blowing smoke in your face is an appropriate, even a measured, response.
The burb is not a hazard to someone else's health, while the smoke, beyond the mental grasp and the belief of most smokers, is a serious health hazard. But we discussed all this yesterday.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 11:54 AM
DH: the rule when I worked for a moving company about 7 years ago was $5-$10/man per hour
basically this:
if you have a standard move with 3 guys that has 30 boxes and 4 rooms of furniture I would give them $50 a man
if they have a 4 floor walk up to another 4 floor walk up and it's 90 degrees and they are there helping you out and being super great $100 a man maybe even $150/man depending.
and ALWAYS offer the movers something to drink and please allow them to use your glassware
sorry, this is a sore subject as I grew up with movers as both my uncles owned moving companys and I just would hear all these horrible stories of how bad they were treated
and of course on the flip side, yes movers WILL hold your stuff if you refuse to pay and guess what, they actually are allowed to - it's wrong, but they provided a service that now you aren't willing to pay for...
Arkday - THANKS so much! next thursday, moving on Friday. I will them give you all a play by play of how livng in a condo turned rental is like....

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 12:09 PM
i have had some very good experiences with Moving Your Way, I think they are based in park slope. They are maybe Russian but I'm not sure, definitely from somewhere within the former Soviet Republic. I have used them around 4 or 5 times and relatives of mine have used them about 4 times as well. They didn't do anything shady, they were totally professional, careful with my items, and actually personable too! The guy who I normally dealt with was Igor, he coordinated or something. Anyway, I highly recommend them.
gemini - as for tipping movers, i one time gave the guys from moving your way a couple of bottles of booze, in addition to a tip, since i didn't have a lot of cash at the time. i also had a friend that once gave movers a laptop as a tip. what are you thoughts on things like that as tips?
Posted by: bodhi_brooklyn at August 19, 2009 12:13 PM
i'm not a smoker, but i think there's better ways to confront people who are doing something you don't like than to burp in their face. seriously. it's gross. back in the day, it was legal to smoke in bars. it's like any other annoying shit people do. the appropriate response isn't to burp in their face or sit on their lap and fart or whatever it is. that's all i'm saying. i knew you would have to make a big deal about it though. one thing i will say to the lurkers is that the PLUSAs can be bullies. whatevs though. logging off now so i won't have to see your inevitable response.
Posted by: CG_ups at August 19, 2009 12:14 PM
Bodhi - I think that's ok giving the guys items instead of cash especially if they want it, but and this is only if they do a good job, you should try to give them some cash as well, at least buy them lunch or dinner home.
Movers make anywhere from the company $8-$12 an hour - not a lot. The driver might make $12-$20 an hour
Posted by: gemini10 at August 19, 2009 12:18 PM

G10, I realize this may be premature to ask since you haven't even closed yet, but are you going to be looking to buy again? (I'm in a similar situation as you - I sold my house, and I've been renting for almost 3 years, but I'm looking to buy again.)
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 1:11 PM
Snaps, thanks for the update.
Hope you're feeling better.
I just scoured my medicine cabinet to see if I had any leftover Vicodin I could messenger over to you. Sadly, all I've got in my med stash now is some outdated Valium with the name of my sister's dog on the label (her dog was having anxiety attacks, and his psychiatrist turned out to be one of those lazy shrinks that won't bother with talk therapy --they just throw meds).

ah you are? how is that experience been? We are sorta weirded out to be renters again after owning and landlording for 6 years. Our plan is to rent for a few months and probably buy a condo. Am afraid we are now priced out of houses in PS and the surrounding nabes and what we can afford are those "shanty shacks" that would require a lot of cash to buy and then to fix up.
There is a 2 bR condo we are already eyeing that is unique and is in a 3 story bldg up in Windsor Terrace/Park Slope
Posted by: gemini10 at August 19, 2009 1:30 PM
Snappy- Hari is a competitive eater- he would actually stand in the bowl and eat while everyone else had to work around him. Kittens like him seem to have a fear that they won;t get enough. one of my cats- Moose- gobbles good down and of course inevitably hurls. Every once in awhile so do others. But I remember Montrose saying every morning Hari stood in the bowl while he ate and woe to the cat who tried to take his food :-)
In any case if you are having a problem coping with him because of your foot I can take him until you're better. I promise not to keep him- as much as I would love to- but I promised my guys no more permabuddies.

Bxgirl...he hasn't stood in his food yet...though that would be funny to see :) Maybe over time he'll realize he doesn't have to share it and will slow down on his chomping. Thanks for the offer of taking him in for a while, but one of the few things I can manage to do through this pain is keep feeding him and rubbing on his belly :) Thankfully he always pounces on my right leg and foot instead of the left one. Pia knows that leg and foot is hurt (somehow?) and she avoids it as well. She's been balancing herself on just my right leg when she sleeps on me at night.

wow. just wow...
anyway, at work we get tons of textbooks that just got published... and i came across this little doozey in an american history book
the book is titled:
United States History - Heritage of Freedom
then in small tiny letters says "in christian perspective"
im thumbing thru the book and near the end there is a section titled Cultural Decay.
has a bunch of topics discussed under Cultural Decay. the first is homosexuality. it says "the family is the basic building block of civilization. When it comes under attack, all of society suffers. Trad-itional (they spell it like that for some reason with a hyphen. wtf?) American family values have dramatically declined in recent decades. One results has been the increased acceptance of homosexuality. In 2008, the American culture stressed tolerance for people who choose to live an alternative lifestyle, a "lifestyle" the bible calls sin ("thou shalt not lie with man-kind, as with womankind: it is an abomination" Leviticus 18:22
the next topic is abortion :-/
this is a high school text btw. where the hell is crap being taught? and to whom!?

Posted by: bxgrl at August 19, 2009 2:24 PM
For a deconstruction of American history textbooks, read James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Taught Me" which is about why in the US textbooks all have a weird nationalist pride to them, and why they're all so freakin' thick.
There is some kind of Texas-based religious stranglehold on the textbook industry, partial at least, that for a long time kept this type of thing going.

"We are sorta weirded out to be renters again after owning and landlording for 6 years."
G10, I know just how you feel on all counts. I don't miss being a landlord, even though one couple I rented to have become very close friends. I miss aspects of the house, notably my garden and the Parlor Floor, but not the relentless maintenance and repairs. I'm torn between buying another house or buying a condo. I was recently outbid on a condo the size of my old owner's duplex, but buying another house is tempting. If I had a spare $7 million, I'd buy yesterday's HOTD.

Texas. They're the largest textbook market by far and publishers lean over backwards, make that right-wards, for them. Having said that, this seems too far right even for that market. Maybe for an organization of Christian schools or something...

bxgrl, I'm renting deck space from cobble and Chet/Chad. cobble pitched a very nice tent for me (just like the guy's "living quarters" on "hung"). No need to resort to violence.
cobble, yes, a Star Wars lego set and a bowl of ice cream would be the perfect end to my day, thank you.
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 3:21 PM
Just realized that nobody brought up the topic of please & thank you on the ice cream brouhaha.

Hey, Biff, did you go to the Cubby Hole last night?
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 3:26 PM
CGar is a great deckmate, I think the squirrels my annoy the Gar-dog, but I've only found two dead bodies so far....
CGar, No jelly beans if you have ice cream. And you have to clean up the Legos before lights out! LOL!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 19, 2009 3:26 PM
justlurkin, How do you feel about ice cream trucks and camping out on a deck?

"Hey, Biff, did you go to the Cubby Hole last night?"
CGar, no, I didn't make it after all, but had a great night, thanks for asking. Here's the summary:
- drinks at Spice Market in Meatpacking District
- dinner at Sushi Samba on 7th Avenue
- more drinks at Arthur's Tavern while listening to the Yuichi Hirakawa House Band
I usually prefer Arthur's Tavern when Sweet Georgia Brown is performing. She's a blast.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 3:31 PM
In favor of both. And personally I think the more you load up on sugar, the better. Esp if it is someone else's kid, and then you send home to parents.
Posted by: justlurkin at August 19, 2009 3:33 PM
bxgrl, humor is just one way to deal with tragedy. I don't mean to offend. I did say (sincerely) that I am sorry she was killed. Still, she definitely had some physical assets worth mentioning, and as something of a public figure, she's certainly a subject worthy of discussion.
Posted by: East New York at August 19, 2009 3:33 PM
Justlurkin- I see you are new here otherwise you would know that CGar and I are e-newlyweds.
(Dear Precious virtual hubby- they wrote a book about me once..."She" (Who must be Obeyed)
Just sayin' :-)
Posted by: bxgrl at August 19, 2009 3:36 PM
CG_ups,
stop taking my post so literally. you've met me last time. I was younger and more muscular back then but certainly wasn't big enough or stupid enough to stick my face into someone's face and let rip a burp directly into someone's face. Hello, this is NYC. someone can get stabbed or shot for pulling a stunt like that. as I say often - "I aint the smartest guy out there but I certainly aint no idiot" cause only an idiot would do that and be dump enough to expect no repercussion.
the times I pulled that stunt was after suggesting to guys to blow their 2nd hand smoke the other way (vs. so close to my face). They didn't oblige so when after a few beers as some beer gas wanted to come out, I burped it into their direction. I didn't go stick my face in front of their face to burp. courtesy is 2-way street. they didn't extend it to me and I didn't extend it (ie burping other direction) to them.
It's fine if you dont agree with me but dont make me out to be some stupid lunatic or something like that
Posted by: more4less at August 19, 2009 3:37 PM
Also didn't mean to offend re: the murdered woman.
I was just struck by her picture. It didn't seem real.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 3:37 PM
bxgrl, loosen the leash!

"CGar is a great deckmate, I think the squirrels my annoy the Gar-dog, but I've only found two dead bodies so far...."
Thanks, cobble. OMG, the only things that make her bark are squirrels (and chipmunks in the country). Sorry about that, but at least you and Chet get a great guard dog in exchange. When I'm walking her and she sees a squirrel, she practically pulls my arm out of the socket.
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 3:38 PM
ENY- actually I was referring to Kens' comment. Yours wasn't a problem and it was nice of you to add a little sympathy.

Posted by: bodhi_brooklyn at August 19, 2009 3:50 PM
CGar and jester, yes, it was lots of fun. Perhaps one too many drinks at Arthur's Tavern, but the JD was going down very smoothly at that point (re-write?).
We should do an outing to Arthur's Tavern when Sweet Georgia Brown is there or else to Cafe Wha, one of my favourite places in New York to hear live music.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 3:52 PM
bodhi, OUCH, those are hideous but I'm not surprised that Bob Guiccione had them. I suspect Al Goldstein's are equally as ridiculous.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 3:53 PM
Bxgrl, congrats on your e-nuptials.
Don't be jealous, but CarGar once got into a fistfight on the street over me. I'm just sayin'.
Posted by: justlurkin at August 19, 2009 3:54 PM
DIBS, the HOTD battle is pretty funny.
cobble, thank you for your promptness.
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 3:54 PM
cobble- we will have to commiserate over drinks :-)
You're right CGar- you did warn me. Just remember when we virtually divorce, I want the dog!
Posted by: bxgrl at August 19, 2009 3:56 PM
Biff, did the said Juris Doctor perform the duties after you had 6 beers and was curious or before?
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 19, 2009 3:56 PM
"the JD was going down very smoothly at that point".
No re-write necessary, Biff. I assume you had your customary 6 drinks and then let your curiosity get the best of you!
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 3:58 PM
justlurkin- do tell!!! Cgar and I have a sort of Charles Laughton/Elsa Lancaster thing (except I'm straight. But some people have remarked on my resemblance to the Bride of Frankenstein).

Thanks, CH. I LUV a tiara (and feathers) . . . see my earlier posts on my new neighbor Bjork. Not so good w/a rule book though. I like to live off the grid.
Posted by: justlurkin at August 19, 2009 4:08 PM
Hey folks, just got back. Yes, Texas has a stranglehold on the textbook market, but California runs a close second, and they're the two largest states. Try writing a textbook to please both of those populations and you'll wind up with the most boooooooring description of American history ever, which is what most textbooks are. It's instructive to look at older books, which actually had TEXT in them, and weren't filled with sidebars, pictures, graphs, charts, and lots of color. Those books actually told a good story! Rob, your book is certainly for some type of Christian school.
Textbooks are already being replaced by flash drives in some schools - in a few decades they'll go the way of the slide rule.
There are other odd stories about textbooks. There is a large population of Armenian-Americans in California, and one of their organizations started to complain that Armenians were absent from American history books. A suitable Armenian-American (not sure who it was, but it should have been Cher) was found for a sidebar bio, and suddenly every kid in the entire state had info on this group.
I found an old world history book that had one picture of black people, with the caption "Stone Age people today" - and another called "Men and Nations" which started something like: History is a story of men and their accomplishments. Wherever men have gone, they have altered the environment around them...etc. When I get home I'll find the whole thing.
DH - I'll be there tomorrow. JB won't be, unless she surprises us!
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 19, 2009 4:12 PM
"CGar, are you moving out, so soon??"
Not a chance cobble. No e-divorce, bxgrl. Street brawling for my women was in a former life. DIBS is my Team captain. I think. There's been some confusion today, given Barbi's "intelligence" (may she rest in peace).
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 4:12 PM
Kens, can you provide subtitles to your last post? I have no idea what you said.
CGar, what can I say? I've always been an exceptionally curious guy, which is very dangerous when combined with my love of beer and bourbon.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 19, 2009 4:13 PM
justlurkin, Fab, you'll fit right in! [bxgrl, we need two new tiaras by the end of the week - get crackin'!] and you're in the neighborhood—you can meet CGar and Gar-dog at Cobble Hill Park!
"Off the grid"...oooh, so intriguing. But it worries me that you aren't willing to invest 6,547 hours of your time to read our incredibly over-worked and infinitely tedious manual of rules of conduct. I'm not sure you are taking this seriously enough.

I've done many, many obscene things in my life and an awful lot of tastelessness in my younger years but stainless steel appliances??? I just don't get it.
What should they be to be period appropriate, enamel???
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 19, 2009 4:26 PM

justlurkin- so sorry. C Gar and I have decided not to divorce but hope you will remain friends and join the PLUSA family.
I think we should add an addenda page with jester's prep ritual to the manual. It seems a necessary inclusion for the PLUSA lifestyle section. What say you, cobble?
Posted by: bxgrl at August 19, 2009 5:06 PM

bxgrl, You know, I, too, am seriously impressed with infinite's prep ritual!
It's in. I'll add it to the PLUSA lifestyle section in the September edition — have to run it by upper management, but I think Biff, DIBS and Snappy will certainly approve.

DIBS, Germany has refused to supply any more paper for the notes so I'm afraid it's not going to be a contender for the world's new reserve currency.

Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 19, 2009 5:43 PM
bxgrl, Likewise, please re-read chapter 147, specifically the section where we talk about what language should be used to promote PLUSA gatherings.
Words like "Fun", "Meet friends", "Have a cocktail" - note this is singular!, "Karaoke", "Gifts" should be used as much as possible.
Verboten words: Crack pipe, smoke [in all senses of the word], light up, joint, barf, vomit, power drinking, dope, smack, talking to the porcelain god, etc.
