  1. I’m going to start a blog called “Shit that rob says.”

    I’ll probably get a movie deal out of it to.

    *******

    That’s actually no joke. If *rob* won’t do it himself, someone else should!

  2. *rob* seriously. Start your own blog. You have a very unique outlook and will get many followers.

    Blogger is free and easy to use. That’s how brownstoner started and now look at the enterprise that has been built.

    Go for it!

  3. That smoking ban is asinine. I would have much preferred a ban on smoking while walking down the street. People should have to stay in place while smoking so us non smokers can avoid them.

  4. ishtar…no idea if that’s enough. You have to figure out how much you will need to live on depending where you will retire and when.

    Can you live on $75k, $100K or $50k a year when you retire??? Will your retirement funds be enough to yield 4% or so and grow at 4% to accomadate that number???

    Example: If you have $500,000 in retirement funds and you have structured it to yield 5%, it will pay you $25,000 a year to live on. Hopefully it will grow at 5% ON AVERAGE PER YEAR (NO GUARANTEES) and so all in you will be able to pull out $50,000 a year to live on without eating into the pricipal.

    Who advised you to roll an IRA into an annuity?????? Theese are typically NOT GOOD PRODUCTS.

  5. quote:
    Today Mayor Bloomberg is announcing the expansion of NYC’s smoking ban to the city’s 14 miles of beaches and more than 1,700 parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities

    GAH! okay beaches fine fine fine cuz too many idiots leave their butts in the sand and playgrounds duh, but public parks!? that’s f-cking ridiculous. so i cant sit in a secluded section of the park with my dog and enjoy a smoke!? i hate bloomberg!

    *rob*

  6. “You’ll have to dress outrageously for PR purposes.”

    ditto, I think that’s actually a great idea for *rob*. Seriously.

    But as for the attire, ummmmm, if you’d join us for drinks, you’d see that *rob* already does dress outrageously. Damn shame he had a hissyfit and pitched all his faux furs last year.
