well they made her bring a copy of her lease AND they insisted on talking to her landlord (it’s a huge building up in harlem) there really is no “landlord” and unfortunately it says no pets on her lease. we were going to try and alter the lease to make it say pets were allowed but in the end we just gave up on the idea.
The plan takes the toxic assets off the balance sheets of the banks and allow the private sector (insurance companies & hedge funds to buy them at a fraction of the price and use loans provided by the Treasury to finance them. The Treasury is assuming risk but not as much as if it held them itself. It also doesn’t have the expertise to manage the assets once purchased. There will be no compensation issues put in place for firms buying these assets. The market moved because some firms, like Blackrock, already stepped up and said they were willing to buy the assets. It is the orderly clearing of these assets that the stock market reacted to.
Thanks DIBS, will check them out.
I just bought some hand towels and sheets from Bed, Bath.
I want to re-do our apt* and then replace everything with some luxe items; sheets, towels. I want to swim in 1500 thread count sheets and wrap myself in the thickest 4lb cotton bath sheet.
Rob, I passed by that adoption van. The people running the thing were sneering at the few folks I saw pausing to check out the pooches. That doesn’t work so well when you are trying to get people to take the dogs home!
Ok, this has nothing to do with nothing, but I thought you, THL, might like this…
Yesterday I was watching the Match Game and they were talking about blood tests requried for a marriage license. Bret didn’t know that some states don’t require it. After being corrected, she says to Fannie Flag, “Oh that’s good for you since you like to marry.”
Fannie replied, “As someone who’s been married so many times that she’s anemic from all the blood tests she had to take, you really shouldn’t be talking!”

“Now go back to talking about Cats, Dildos and Mayo..”
Did I miss the discussion about the second one?
