Rob, you’dve done well in that old New York mag competition on ‘Unlikely Advice for New York Tourists’; a winning entry was:
“Seats on the subway: 50% of New Yorkers are on welfare and get free subway passes. So when riding the subway, walk up to any seated person and say ‘I’m not on welfare like you. Give me your seat'”
Question – my friend’s BF wants to get engaged and has a ring that’s a family heirloom. It’s never been reset. Thing is, he gave this ring to his first wife. She said the stone is the heirloom, not so much the setting and said she’d like it to be reset and is uncomfortable wearing the same exact ring that his ex-wife did. He doesn’t want to change it. Thoughts?
Did any of you see the video of Dem committee chair in Ohio, Chris Redfern, calling the Tea Totaling loons “f*ckers”? I about fell out of my seat. It was wonderful:
“If your kids are going to graduate from college, now he or she gets health care, your heath care, while he or she looks for a new job,” Redfern said. “It’s in the very base terms we win these arguments. Every time one of these fuckers says, excuse my language…”
I have a niece who’s now in kindergarten. Her school supply list was longer than my ‘client list’! Her backpack was the size of a carry on suitcase and weighed a ton. All the crap she HAD to have for school. Different notebooks, crayons, colored pencils, #2 pencils, folders, binders.
WTF?!?!?
These kids are gonna be hunchbacks by 3rd grade.
there have been so many times i just wanted to say to that 5 year old, did YOU even pay for that seat? no you didnt! you crawled under the turnstyle!!!! but i figure id probably get akward looks from the rest of the passengers… or maybe cheers?
but seriously, kids shouldnt have their own seats on the train if they havent PAID

“I’d be happy with that. Buy myself a little dump in Brooklyn Heights.”
Drive by my place and I’ll be happy to throw a little dump your way for free.
rob, subway seats are a likely conduit for bedbugs. Even moreso when you are squished in between two fatties and their clothes are touching yours.
You’ve been warned.

“schlepped her kid to Chinatown every day”
Biff, now THAT’s something for you to consider, even though I know it would be a great personal sacrifice for you. 🙂

the commute is a big hassle for everyone.
yes. especially for REAL adults who have to ride the train during work/school rush hour, and some little 5 year old is hogging up a seat. :-/
