GUH-ROSS! AND I USED TO BE A FAN OF HERS BACK IN THE DAY!
…
These days, lots of parents are finding new ways to reduce their parenting footprint. For some parents, it’s buying eco-friendly toys and cloth diapers. For Mayim Bialik (AKA Blossom), it’s using a diaper-free technique called “elimination communication,†in which parents watch their kid’s body language to tell when they need to go potty.
When they fail to notice these no verbal cues, green parents have no choice but to break out the recycled paper towels and non-toxic surface cleaner. From Bialik’s interview with The Sierra Club:
“At home, we use elimination communication, which is used in many places of the world. When I first learned about it I thought I was the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. But it’s being talked about a lot more. It’s a diaper-free movement that’s based on the fact that children give signals. It’s a really profound level of communicating with your child. My second son was dry by 11 months. It’s more potty-training the adult than the kid. And it’s not for everyone, that’s for sure. You need to be with your child all the time to learn the signals. My husband was so skeptical but he became a believer very quickly.â€
He must be very tolerant, or not be home very often… just think of all the cleaning. Hopefully they have hardwood floors, “elimination communication†could wreak serious havoc on your wall-to-wall carpet.
What do you think? Is EC an overly hippie and ridiculous way to go about the potty training process? Or would you be willing to give it a try to reduce your impact on the planet?
So there is an estate sale 2 bedroom that just came on market in my building for 175K ask. It’s in Kensington/Midwood border (Ocean PKWY and 18th Avenue) and is on top floor of 6 floor co-op. Needs pretty much full reno as it has original everything (1953 building). Maintenance is around $730. Apartment is probably somewhere in the 800 sq. ft vicinity. Really nice layout with windows in kitchen and bathroom. If anyone you know is looking, you know where to find me and I’ll try getting you the contact info for the person selling (no broker involved).
The great depression: From 1929 through 1933, GDP fell more than 30%. Then towards the end of the decade GDP took another, but much less severe dip, dropping over 10%.
We have not experienced anything close to that in the US at any period since then.
No one knows the future. But at the present, although there is certainly suffering and unemployment and dislocations, there is nothing remotely similar to the 1930s.
Lets all count our blessings because the 1930s was a period of extreme hardship.

Hola PLUSAs,

… meant selling a co–op, but a 1bbp unit!
CGar, are you still loving 1bbp? Think I have a friend who is about to sell. Nice place, big, but no private outdoor space.
Economic definitions according to BHO.
“Obviously you can’t run deficits (of) 10 percent of GDP forever.” – Bernanke

Definition of a economic depression: 10% contraction in GDP
Hole patches (this case in GDP) are never meant to be permanent.
