I don't see an "Erotic Services" section in the new Directory^^^^^^^
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 9:17 AM
Look under S for "Services ;)" and it should be in italics font
Posted by: more4less at October 7, 2009 9:20 AM
DIBS, try "theraputic services" instead
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 9:21 AM
OMG, amongs the first ten... PLUSA status, here I come!
Posted by: bupe at October 7, 2009 9:24 AM
I think look under DIBS for erotic services.
Posted by: Petebklyn at October 7, 2009 9:25 AM
i can't stand people who go to work (not my job btw, im talking about other floors in my building and just in general seeing people going to their jobs) dressed like they are attending the oscars. it's like honey chile youre not impressing anyone. (it's men and woman. tho i think men are worse when they try to over dress)

Dibs - Maybe under "Contractors".
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 9:26 AM
you're not PLUSA until the welcoming committee gives you the official welcome kit and the club prez does an ID & gender verification
Posted by: more4less at October 7, 2009 9:26 AM
DIBS, we have a unionized staff here so don't think Arkady appreciates you doing her job on spelling stuff and putting her job at risk - expect her to file a grievance on you this morning
Posted by: more4less at October 7, 2009 9:28 AM
bupe, if you're an immigrant, you're exempt from spelling and grammar errors

Posted by: randolph at October 7, 2009 9:30 AM
oh embarrassing thing happened yesterday. after melrose place i was craving something sweet and decided to treat myself to frozen yogurt (and why is a tiny thing of frozen yogurt 5 bux!?!? anyway i wanted to treat myself and ive been eating so much salty stuff lately that my body was craving sugar which i dont get much of). so im in the fauxdega with my head totally inside the ice cream fridge and i get a tap on the back and it was a coworker. so i say oh hi im just getting ice cream! ugh. i said ice cream instead of frozen yogurt. but that's not the point. the point was i feel like she probably thinks im one of those losers you see in the middle of the night, alone, buying ice cream. :-/ she probably thinks i do it every night.

DIBS, why haven't you put an ad in the "plumbers" section?
Posted by: the chicken at October 7, 2009 9:31 AM
I think she wanted to go home with you and share dessert.
Posted by: Petebklyn at October 7, 2009 9:34 AM
I hava an ad on silverdaddies. Can't handle any more traffic.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 9:34 AM
i dont think so. she moved recently to the neighborhood, like a block away. she probably wonders wtf im doing in park slope considering how ghetto trash and poor i am. it's really not fun being house poor. even as a renter.

Guess you aint worry he's going to steal your job hence no need to file the grievance
Posted by: more4less at October 7, 2009 9:39 AM
Do you think it should be "add," Arkady. Yes, I am talking about "gozintas" but not addition.
Why is ad unacceptable? Does it have to be Advert or advrtisement??
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 9:42 AM
Technically I have a "profile" not an ad. I don't run a banner ad across the top of the website.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 9:45 AM
It's still pink.
Blah!
How about an "Open Thread" tab (link) next to "Home" so people can get back here quickly when they go check out other threads?
Posted by: brownjokester at October 7, 2009 9:46 AM
wait to the disemvowelers arrive. then we'll see real spelling. I don't think they are awake yet.
Posted by: Petebklyn at October 7, 2009 9:46 AM
i found this a bit off-putting... in the directory thread. i didnt want to comment in there because, well, i dont know, i dont wanna get singled out for causing trouble or anything, but i dont like this line at all..
"and for those service providers to reach the most active and affluent group of homeowners, " :-/
did he really mean to say affluent?
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 9:46 AM
No, neither of those; just have instead of hava (nagila? narghilie? ...na cigar?)

Rob - What's wrong with that? Are you thinking of 'effluent'?
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 9:48 AM
I love Arkady... Yes, I am an immigrant, which does not excuse the "amongs" brain-fart. DIBS, hava a good morning!
Posted by: bupe at October 7, 2009 9:49 AM
Dibs - Just one entry under "anonymous".
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 9:49 AM
Rob, if you own a brownstone in Brooklyn then chances are you're affluent, at least on paper. Are you confusing influential and affluent? I know how much you hate on schooling...
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 9:52 AM
no, stating that the services are for the "affluent" just sounds ridiculous. what? are you telling me there are no non-affluent people living in brownstones? their money isnt good enough? i dont know, it just sounded really off-putting to me. affluent means rich and wealthy right?
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 9:53 AM
Arkady is nitpicking on the Directory thread.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 9:53 AM
Rob - I think it was meant to be subtly complimentary - we're supposed to infer that we are an intelligent & urbane bunch, not just dumb PLUSAs.
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 9:55 AM
Rob,
if I were a service provider, I would absolutely definitely want to target all of the demographics that can't afford my products and services.
Posted by: the chicken at October 7, 2009 9:56 AM
"affluent on paper"
oh god, now ive heard everything :-/ pass the bong
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 9:56 AM
you all are completely missing my point. sometimes i wish their was a poor people version of this site.
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 9:58 AM
"affluent means rich and wealthy right"
Right, so if you're an advertiser looking to get homeowners who can afford a $250K renovation then you're looking for affluent homeowners.
As for affluent on paper, there are people who are paper millionaires but don't have the liquid cash to pay for services, erotic or not.
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 10:01 AM
Did you miss it yesterday, Rob? BONG is the new word for Brooklyn - Brownstones Overpriced Neighborhoods Ghetto (or words to that effect.)

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 10:02 AM
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA love it. i cant wait for the next person to ask me where i live so i can say i live in South BONG. and from now on im going to stop telling myself im poor. im going to tell myself that im a gazillionaire on paper.
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 10:04 AM
ditto, I've cut way back on paying for services post-Lehman.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at October 7, 2009 10:04 AM
There's a thread in the forum:
'En Suite Bathroom' - it's calling for Dave and *Rob* to battle it out.
There's also a thread and in the body is:
Park Slop Nannys
I think they meant Park Slope Ninnies
Posted by: brownjokester at October 7, 2009 10:05 AM
By that definition I live in BONG, NJ
Morning all!
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 10:06 AM
Rob, I see your point, and as probably the least affluent homeowner on this site, I get it. That said, it goes without saying that most of the vendors and services will be targeting the affluent, that's the basic demographic of the site. As a business owner, I'd be looking to target them as well, any business needs to go where the money is. Saying so is only stating the obvious.
That aside, even though I can't afford these goods and services, I enjoy looking through them for future reference, and flights of fancy. That's what magazines provide, what window shopping provides, a chance to dream, and plan, and work for. Nothing wrong with that.
Posted by: Montrose Morris at October 7, 2009 10:06 AM
Good morning, all.
Any word on how Snappy is doing?
Posted by: Biff Champion at October 7, 2009 10:08 AM
DIBS - I assume there's been a noticeable dip in total NYC service-provider income as a result?
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 10:08 AM
Snappy has to go to the doctor every morning to see how she's doing - an 8:30 appt. No report yet today.
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 10:09 AM
MM is right. He's speaking to the vendors he's hoping to snag. This is his livelihood after all.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 10:10 AM

Please don't use DIBS, dip and service provider in the same sentence.

i am not going into that ensuite bathroom thread. if someone seriously wants to live that way, fine. it's their home, not mine. i won't be the one inhaling the poo mist. in 30 years when scientific studies have proven the health hazards of en suite bathrooms, youll be saying oh that lil butterfly was right!

Butterfly - How far is the flight from your nocturnal couch to your bathroom? Maybe your distaste for the en suite comes from having grown up in a tight-fitting chrysalis.

Just remember that I wasn't the one to coin that nickname for her. But I do like saying it, yes.
Posted by: Biff Champion at October 7, 2009 10:20 AM
I think the directory is a great idea. Of course being just a renter I will have to make sure the Great EVLL gets a copy in her little hand so as to provide me with all the upscale and expensive finishes I need for me to be happy in my domicile.

Once and for all.
An 'en suite' bathroom is a bathroom (separate room) adjacent to a bedroom. The door to the SEPARATE bathroom is in the bedroom as opposed to in the hallway.
THE 'EN SUITE' BATHROOM USUALLY HAS 4 WALLS AND A DOOR!!
No different than having a bathroom next (en suite) to a living room.

well.. the bathroom is right NEXT to my bedroom. and the toilet is probably about 10-12 feet away from couch. :-/ but there's nothing i can do about that. so sadly i am a victim of poo mist as well, but at least it's not en suite, you know what i mean? the toilet is not in my bedroom. that's so alcatraz when you think about it.

Posted by: Butterfly at October 7, 2009 10:27 AM
While I prefer a bathroom that is not used by children and guests the fact that it's not en suite makes no difference to me in the slightest nor would I change the original layout of the house in order to accomplish it. Our bathroom is literally 4 feet from our bedroom door thus making the short as can be trip to it quite suite indeed.

bxgirl, i think youre right about the radiators!! they were turned on last week, they were on for a night, my throat was dry, but today it's really scratchy. personally i think the heat in NYC apartment buildings are turned on way too early in the year. people just wind up opening their windows to let the heat fly out. i like to cold, cant stand being inside if it's over 55 even. i usually have my windows open all winter. love fresh air! but it's such a waste of the landlords money, they really shouldnt keep buildings as hot as they do.

The Mother's Day before my mother died, we were at a garden center together, and I bought her a hanging plant that she admired. She was very annoyed w ith me, but I refused to let her pay me back. A few months after my mother died, I was wearing my winter coat, which happened to have been at her house on Mother's Day weekend, and I open the front pocket and there I discover 2 crumpled $5 bills. My mother had found a way to send me home with the $10 for the plant without my knowing about it - those $5 bills were the last thing she ever gave me, and they're still in my coat pocket.

Rob, screw the honey. Get to the doctor. I wouldn't wish what I have on anybody. And the consensus with my docs is that it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't gone for so long. You don't want to mess with this. I beg you to go to the doctor. Tell them you were recently near me and describe my symptoms so they can have an idea of what they are dealing with.

Bodhi,
My girlfriend used to work at a big NYC hotel that has a salad named after it and when she's have to terminate someone the line she was required to give was:
"I'm sorry but at this time we're going to have to separate you from your employment."
WTF??!

A friend of mine is a video editor. He's now editing porn videos (don't judge - times are tough, he had to take any job).
He sent me a clip of a badly dubbed video.

It's Hysterical!!!

"Do any of your cats watch TV?? Our old tabby, Maxwell, would watch when there were some animals on."
We have one that does. She actually follows everything on the screen and if you block her view she gets really pissy and yells at you.
Her favorites shows are anything with animals and my husbands pool matches. She follows the balls on the table and as they drop into pockets and disappear from the screen she does the wide eyed long neck "HUH?" expression.

I really should Snappy.
The 3 kittens (I should stop calling them that since they're 2 yrs old) used to be terrified of the TV. They'd slow down and get low to the floor before they pass it, stare for a second and then BOLT past like lightning. Now, it's like they don't even see it.

Bxgrl,
This is the video that will make my cats run in from wherever they are hiding/sleeping and freak.

Quite adorable.

It's Serena Williams, THL. The only woman alive who I think could possibly threaten my marriage.

No problem Dave. There's some eye candy in there for everyone, I think.

Damn, ENY! I somehow can't bring myself to click on any other photo. Serena is a Goddess.

Brownstoners:
Thanks for the nods in Categories 8 and 26 above.
For a relatively placeless person, Brownstoner's become something of a neighborhood for me.
And the three bloggers I've been able to meet -- Montrose, bxgrl and Amzi Hill -- are terrific people.
I do miss the What. Somehow it's just not the same visiting him on his blog.

My guys watched tv when I had it. They particularly liked soccer games & would chase around to the back if action went off the screen. Now they like the 'puter & chase the mouse as well as attacking any moving videos.
They also have shelves to look out windows & use different ones depending on time of day. I have 3 bird feeders on a long arm on the back wall which provide their afternoon soaps.

You have to watch this one too. Someone did a translation video of the talking cats. Cracks me up big time.

As usual, out of town that day, Biff. Congratulations on your multiple "wins."
Bxgrl, maybe some time in the fall. I thought October was likely, but my short time in the city will be filled. November's certainly possible, though. I'll keep Montrose posted.

Football.
No matter how many times that sport is explained to me, I will never understand it. But I do enjoy the slow creep up the field to the other side.
Posted by: brownjokester at October 7, 2009 12:35 PM
Funny huh? They think you instantly adopted two more cats. One of mine coos back at them hoping to jump into the conversation. He's not that bright and doesn't get why they ignore him.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 12:36 PM
Biff, we are planning to attend.
Posted by: denton at October 7, 2009 12:37 PM
On pc you right click the image and there is an option to set the picture as your background image. Don't know if mac has that but you may have to save the image first and then set it in your preferences.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 12:37 PM
But why watch football for cute players. Their faces are covered up. Now tennis, on the other hand...
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 12:37 PM
Thanks Bxgirl...I'll be trying that! Wonder if Kinkos or Staples would be willing to make a life-sized poster of it for me? Damned copyrights...
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 12:40 PM
Thanks for confirming, Denton. Looking forward to seeing you.

snappy, i once took a poster (that was prob copyrighted) to kinkos and made it into a placemat (place-mat? arkady!?) for my niece. They had no issues coping it and shrinking it.

"rooting for the Boston Red Sox"
Never a good thing. For any reason. But be of good cheer - Orlando (not Fernando) Cabrera is now on the Minnesota Twins, who are facing the Yankees in the playoffs beginning tonight. But you'd better tune in quick. The Twins won't be around for long.

oh! the nasty rude unfriendly lesbian couple with the foster daughter who would get F-cked by grown men when they were out disappeared from my building seemingly in the middle of the night! i peeped in the windows and everything is gone and the apt is empty and was freshly painted. it's a 3 bedroom duplex. the bottom two bedrooms look awefully small, but one has a toilet closet if that's your thing. someone FUN please move into that apartment!!! im terrified who is going to be my right next door neighbor :-/ the son of the owner of the building combined two apartments above ours and is moving in soon and im not looking forward to that because they have 3 kids under like 5 or something. im afraid the people who move in right next door is going to be a family as well due to the number of bedrooms. im really REALLY hoping fun people will move next door.

No problem. There's plenty of room for "bandwagon" fans like you. And Dave.
Posted by: East New York at October 7, 2009 2:01 PM
it's a 3 bedroom duplex dipster, thought you were looking for a 1 one bedroom. right now im in a 2 bedroom duplex and the rent is 2450, so i bet the three bedroom is a little more than 2500. but from the looks of the interiors it doesnt look any larger than ours. in fact i think it might be the same same set up except what is our den is made into another bedroom in the apartment next door. so maybe it will be about that much. no clue if it's rented or not.

Birth Control Pills Might Alter Mate Selection: Study
http://tinyurl.com/yew6zpg
"The use of the pill by women, by changing her mate preferences, might induce women to mate with otherwise less-preferred partners, which might have important consequences for mate choice and reproductive outcomes," said Alexandra Alvergne, lead author of a study appearing in the October issue of Trends in Ecology & Evolution.
Women who are ovulating tend to be attracted to so-called "manly men," those with more masculine facial features and traits of dominance and competitiveness, according to background information in the study.

Fear not. There is a cheap birth control method for men, according to the straight women I know. It's called being unnattractive and/or having a small lap taffy. Solves the problem with no need for pills and doctors :)

unfortunately small sad lap taffy can do the same damage as larger closer to the target taffy.

if girl doesn't think it's a mistake to be pregnant, no pill will be bought (guy can't force that on her). Only if she thinks it's a mistake than pill is bought. nothing to do with who pays for it. besides, guy would happily pay for it unless he stupid

From experience, not all females can be on the pill for various reasons. When a female isn't protected (via the pill) it's easier for a male to slip one on then other female contraceptives.
Plus, let's not forget protecting against STDs.

Agreed that boys and girls need to take responsibility but ultimately, girls are the ones who pay the most if they get pregnant. It's my body and I have to assume I'm the only one who will take responsibility for it. I can't depend on anyone else to do that for me. If the guy won't do the right thing, that tells me he isn't worth the trouble.

Nope - it's a male's primal instinct to spread his seed as much as possible to ensure the survival of the species.
It's religion and man made ideas of morality that tell us being with one partner and not having sex until a certian age are the right things to do.
i actually agree with u - just playing devil's advocate.

i TOTALLY agree with you on that, but a lot of girls intentionally get pregnant for 2 reasons and only 2 reasons, to have something to love and to get on public assistance. it's sad, but VERY VERY true in most cities. it's the girls who are basically f'ing their lives up, not the guys, most of them don't give a crap. the whole situation is just gross if you ask me. i mean i shouldnt talk im the spawn of a teenage mom myself (she did have three abortions before finally just giving up and having me tho lol)

Scary huh? It's like it's a game. There's no stigma anymore. Seriously, if there was a pregnant girl when I was in HS she was labeled a slut, trap you name it. She was tormented. Now, not that I'm saying that's a nice thing to do but there was backlash. You were ashamed.
Now, with some girls it's like a rite of passage. A cool accessory. The terms baby momma and baby daddy are so commonplace it's disgusting.
Also, you all need to catch an episode or two of a daytime talkshow. a lot of girls are ACTIVELY trying to get pregnant. I swear if I was a guy I'd be terrified.
Oh and BJ's are given out like french kisses. It's not really sex, it's no big deal, yu can stay a virgin and still give BJ's.
and no, they never use protection for BJ's. Why? you can't get pregnant! Would there be any other reason to wear protection?

"Many parents opt out of sex ed for their kids - this, again, according to the Fam. Ct. lawyer. They're afraid that the teachers will discuss issues they don't want their kids to know about &/or that the teachers themselves are kinky."
Incredible.

arkady- this is like all those abstinence only programs where studies have shown they re not effective. Palin's support of abstinence only programs and her daughters pregnancy are a classic example.

Blastoff!
BTW, Rob is right. My ex-wife and some of her friends are guilty of this, without question.

Bxgrl, She did the responsible thing. Didn't you read the statement released??? You're just trying to make her look bad.
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents," Sarah and Todd Palin said in the brief statement.
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family," they added.

"Oh and BJ's are given out like french kisses. It's not really sex, it's no big deal, yu can stay a virgin and still give BJ's."
Damn - i went to the wrong school.

No, you went to the right school. You just went too soon. You should have attended after the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. That changed everything.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 5:52 PM
Stigmatizing pregnant girls was awful but you're right about how different it was then. I think we send far too many conflicting signals- we'll teach abstinence but not birth control. We'll say it's not good to have a child before marriage, but then give girls no options, and talk about how precious all life is. Worse- we tie welfare money to the number of children and some girls in their immaturity see more money as a reward. Plus, when you look at all the commercials, and stories on tv shows, it practically makes motherhood equal to sainthood. All the babies are cute and well-behaved. Young girls can't separate the reality from the fiction. How can they even figure it out?

DH, did you get my email (seriously) with the link to the Park Slope rental? If not, let me know, and I'll resend it. May not be of interest, but thought I'd send it to you just in case.

East New York - is it my imagination or does the van in the back of the picture say "medicare" on the side? (I could just tear my eyes away from her for about 2 secs)
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 5:54 PM
THL- ahhh yes. My bad. :-)
I don't blame Bristol- but I think her mother is an incredible hypocrite, pushing abstinence only education programs.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 5:55 PM
Hello again folks. Cat foiled my nap (dammit!) so I'm up and about again.
Too many girls are trying to get pregnant or just don't give a rat's patootie about ending up that way. I say we bring back chastity belts for the horny little hos.

Did anyone watch that experiment I think NBC (or ABC?) did last summer? They put together teens who were dating in a small subdivision and had them take care of infants, toddlers, etc. on up to teens. Those kids were like "Hells to the no!" after it was over and every single couple broke up.

Snappy, I hate to say this.
But take a looksie at the photo linked by myself and then ENY at 5:47.

A National Institutes of Health study suggests that the region of the brain that inhibits risky behavior is not fully formed until age 25.
That sounds about right.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 6:01 PM
Some schools have that marriage program. I hear its very effective. That's one program that every school should have but I think the baby dolls are very expensive.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 6:01 PM
"Damn - i went to the wrong school."
Not me. I went to a fancy New England prep school, and while the girls weren't necessarily intent on getting pregnant, it was remarkably easy for a guy to get laid. It wasn't nearly as easy in the years following graduation.
Posted by: East New York at October 7, 2009 6:02 PM
They made us carry around an egg that the teacher signed for a week.
What was the first thing I did? Learn to forge the teachers signature. I signed so many eggs for people I could have made a fortune if I'd have charged.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 6:04 PM
Bxgirl, Pia was the offender today. She decided that once again my hair is the perfect toy. Sigh. Hari is zipping around the living room and kitchen right now and being freaked out by the noise of my nebulizer. He's still only 2.5 lbs but noticeably taller with very awkward and funny long legs :)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:04 PM
HELLO NURSE! Thank goodness I've actually got my nebulizer working right now! Damn, that's a lotta ass!

Do they get to play together yet?
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 6:07 PM
I want to see a pic of those lanky legs.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 7, 2009 6:09 PM
If that van does say medicare, and this is all part of Obama's government option - I'm all for it.
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 6:09 PM
Not fully THL. The other night though Pia came out and laid on the floor while Hari was playing. Hari tried to make nice and brought a ping pong ball to her trying to get her to play with him. She was having none of it. She hissed, growled and swiped at him and had to be sent to bed early without getting the rest of her tuna treat. Bad girl!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:10 PM
I'll take a pic tonight and update my flickr page tomorrow. It's very funny looking.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:11 PM
When I was in prep school (late 50s) a girl got pregnant & the school waited until they caught her smoking before they kicked her out so it wouldn't reflect as poorly on the school!
Posted by: Arkady at October 7, 2009 6:16 PM
Do they still have those special schools for pregnant teens/young moms that have the daycare inside? I remember when that was all the rage so the girls would stay in school.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:20 PM
If they smoke they poke

What van?
Posted by: East New York at October 7, 2009 6:22 PM
awwww, snappy. I bet it will take awhile but at least she isn't trying to ....er....rip his haunch off :-)
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 6:22 PM
Bxgirl, I think she'll learn the lesson real quick as long as tuna denial is tied to her behavior. When I told her she wasn't getting anymore tuna for the night, she howled and whined. She completely understood!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:26 PM
ENY, I see what you mean.
Posted by: dittoburg at October 7, 2009 6:27 PM
snappy- not sure about now but there was a school for young high school parents on Schermerhorn, across the street from me and it seemed to be a good one.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 6:27 PM
You're not worried she'll find some way to get you back? Mine do.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 6:28 PM
Bxgirl, she gets me back every day when she starts howling at the birds at 6am.
Did that schermerhorn school have a daycare in it?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at October 7, 2009 6:33 PM
Not sure.
Posted by: bxgrl at October 7, 2009 6:37 PM
Do you people actually have jobs during the day or just sit on here writing cutesy comments?!
There are over 600 comments. That's absurd.
If you're between jobs, as they say, then I'm sorry. But please, People, find something more creative to do with all your time instead of sitting in front of the computer if you don't have to...and if you're sitting at work commenting all day, then shame on you!
I wouldn't be surprised of some you were sitting with your Macbook plugged in at some coffee shop all day long.
Hhhh...the old admonition from my mother: "Don't sit there all day moping around the house! Go out and play!"
