Quote of the Day
I’m sorry, but a house like this is not 100 shares of some under performing stock. It’s an historic piece of Brooklyn, built for the daughter of one of Bklyn’s big shots, and a fine example of eclectic turn of the century architecture. There are no other houses like this in CHN. The interior is…
I’m sorry, but a house like this is not 100 shares of some under performing stock. It’s an historic piece of Brooklyn, built for the daughter of one of Bklyn’s big shots, and a fine example of eclectic turn of the century architecture. There are no other houses like this in CHN. The interior is full of first quality period detailing, and the entire property could be someone’s dream home, a wonderful place to raise a family, or grow old sitting on the porch. I really hate it when a place like this is reduced to a calculation of percentages, and formulas for tossing it around like a bean bag. The amount of time, money, research and heartache the guys who lost it put in shows that a house is more than just the price, or the comps. It’s also an emotional, physical reaction to a potential home. That is so often totally forgotten here.

Oh and cawffee, when in the Bronx. I try not to be judgemental in my pronunciations 🙂
“in other words- What doesn’t know either, snark.”
THAT was funny!

It’s perfectly normal
You need to argue?
ah- kahffeee. Or sometimes, coiffee or coughfee depending on mood and time of day 🙂
I grudgingly accept “An historic” in spoken English.
It is an abomination in written English, and a blight upon the nations.
I love that accent. How do you pronounce “coffee”?
ditto- I pronounce it “hoib” 🙂
Well, if you Americans pronounced “herb” properly instead of making it sound like a frog burp…..
I will be insulated from all the carnage because I live in the ghetto and nothing is ever worth anything there to begin with. Additionally I grow my own vegetables in the yard.
