Rob, there is a super cheap clinic on 13th street between 4th and 5th aves. You can do walk in but you need to get there at 8:30am.
Is that you, chicken? And if it is, why would you call yourself “the chicken” if you’re actual name is so much more impressive?
are there any doctors offices in park slope? like a clinic type thing? where i can just go in a a walk-in? my regular doctor is in chelsea and i dont wanna go there anymore.

“No postings today?”
Why, are there usually other threads in addition to the Open Thread??
NSR, it’s a royal pain. I tried doing that when the fares increased to $2.25 and everytime I would add an amount that I thought would make it work, I got some bonus amount that screwed it all up again. I let it run down to a dollar or so and then just added enough to make it good for one ride. I was ready to toss it as I couldn’t be bothered figuring it out, but then it became like a spy vs. spy game – me against the MTA to see if I could possibly win the exact fare battle. I know…PATHETIC!
Rob, I had a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE cough last week. I coughed for 2 nights and couldn’t fall asleep. Snappy had the same thing. I still have a little bit of cough almost 3 weeks later. There is some crap going around for sure. Drink cough syrup and take some cold medication. It might take over a week for it to start getting better.
I’m slowly starting to learn that reading the articles in the RE section of the Times is a bad idea unless I feel like getting annoyed and spiking my blood pressure.
Rob, seriously. Please listen to me. If you are getting sick with what I had you really really need to get to a doctor immediately. I barely avoided a hospital stay and if you insist on being stubborn and holding out, you may wind up in the hospital. Need I remind you that there are no 40s and Newports in the hospital? Just go!
Gotta love the times real estate, it has the best Booojhee
ignorance. I love the stories about the couple that have to “settle” for a Million dollar home.

More New Yorkers than ever are falling seriously behind on their mortgage payments and a 57 percent spike in unemployment in the city last year makes it unusually tough for homeowners to dig back out of the delinquency ditch.
Add to this massive credit card debt loads and lower home equity levels and it adds up to a huge hike in metro area foreclosures over the coming months. They have already jumped 26 percent to 43,000 in August versus a year ago, according to metro New York mortgage data tracked by rating agency Fitch Ratings.
Alarmed at the growth of unemployment-related foreclosures, New York state’s top banking official, Richard Neiman, is pushing for sustainable loan modifications and expanded outreach to troubled borrowers.
