  1. “Snappy and Cobble…I wish you the best of luck. When one door closes another opens.”

    Thanks BRG, I’m feeling ok about it right now, I feel reasonably optimistic – or maybe I’m just in a state of DENIAL!

  2. hey what, enough with the threats, eh?
    Lemme ask: Are you alone on the holidays (again)? If so, that’s no reason to threaten anyone.

    And give it a rest with the cut and paste from your google alerts!

  3. Snappy and Cobble…I wish you the best of luck. When one door closes another opens.

    I’m self employed and I lost a huge project (they lost the financing) that would have carried me through 2009. Let’s see what the new year brings.

    Nope Rob! Daddy got his face ripped of messing with Madoff (Oh a rhyme).

    “What: I agree it would be a shame to see those areas of Fulton and Vanderbilt stay vacant because of out of control rents. ”

    Yep but, you cannot fight Greed and Delusion! I know some moron that had the store fronts vacant for almost 2 years because they was waiting for Atlantic Yards to be built!

    2009 is going to be very very painful…

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end..

  5. Well, I won’t be on the welfare line (yet!), but I’m applying for unemployment January 2nd. And hoping that I’ll find something quickly. Even if I have to patch together a couple odd jobs.

  6. “What, there is an empty storefront on the corner of Court at Baltic. The landlord forced the tenants out by raising the rent by a huge amount – last March, I believe. The storefront has been empty ever since. And I’m glad. The idiot pushed out a wonderful family business – Trusting Drycleaners – Mr. & Mrs. Oh. And now it’s sits empty and I’m sure it will continue to sit empty for sometime, when it could have had a nice business paying what I’m sure this landlord would be thrilled to be getting now.”

    Ding ding ding!!! I have a ton of stories about Asshats landlords having empty store fronts! One Asshat I told to lower the rent said “You don’t know what you’re talking about”. That was over a year ago! Dumbasses don’t realize that Money=Time. You can’t get back time and you damn sure cant get back money you let walk away!

    Cobblehiller we are living in the last days of the Mutant Asset Bubble and 2009 will wake up alot of dummies to what is going on..

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end..
