  1. agree about subway seats, just take the seat. Thank you! I get offered seats and I don’t care the reason: I am a woman and the guy is macho and wants to be gallant, I look like their older sister, aunt, mother, exhausted, like I want it, like I may pull the person out of their seat if they don’t give it to me…

  2. dibs: Send some drones to Pakistan…waste the mfs..

    Ah yes, collective punishment is the way to go. Sad to even make this type of comment in jest (or not, beginning to realize exactly how right-wing our country is leaning.)

  3. dibs,

    I’m going to a wedding at St. Patricks in a couple of weeks,
    I’d better cut down on my x-ray exposure.

    btw,
    you also get a dose of injected radiation from
    Gallium scans
    Techenitium scans
    and
    Indium scans’

    just your friendly nuclear isotopes at work.

  4. I hate the NY plantiffs’ bar. My day is royally fucked today because of those ambulance chasers.

    A lot of doctors avoid NYC because it is so litigious. If something goes wrong there is probably an ambulance chaser who will take the case on contingency and at a minimum make your life difficult. Malpractice insurance rates are through the roof. A large portion of the doctors who are willing to practice here went to medical schools in places like Syria and India and I would assume have family ties in NYC.

    So even in the world’s greatest city it can be very tough to find a doctor even if you have good insurance.

    Little jackal #1 has a sprained and / or broken ankle (happened Friday night) and needs to see an ortho specialist. But because no one wants to practice in the city it’s very difficult to get an appointment. Only person we could get is a million miles away where there is no parking and Mrs Jackal can’t drag three kids down there when one of them can’t walk. So instead of taking her to someone in Park Slope and being done with it I need to take half of the day off today just so we can collectively take Jackal #1 to an ortho specialist.

    And I blame the plantiffs’ bar for this 100%.

  5. One of my best friends works at UBS. He’s a hot Chinese guy (straight, no homo) who grew up on Doctor’s Row in bay Ridge. He has a real sexy brooklyn accent. He still doesn’t believe I’m gay. No, not too bright.
