Benson, I’m picturing you in a double breasted suit and your borsalino yelling at a contractor gesturing with your right hand up near your mouth the whole time.

Not only should every condo have an engineer among its residents, but it would be much better if the engineer was Italian. After all, there is a good chance that the contractor will be Italian, and its better to have someone who can relate to them, has their sense of things.

I think there should be a law requiring an Italian engineer in every condo or coop.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.”
Oh. Good. G*d. : P
I’m just loafing around, waiting for UPS to show up.

benson, That statement is crumby.
This conversation has gone stale, and lech’s arguments are just toast.

Pete, You earn money by doing nothing but continuing to breathe! It’s called retirement income.
I would like to amend what I stated above:
