StreetLevel: Baby Biz Out, Barber In on Fifth Ave.
The pace of retail turnover on Fifth Avenue shows no signs of slowing. However, at 143 Fifth off Douglass, the gentrification tide appears to be reversing: A good old-fashioned barber is going to replace the out-of-business perfume/body potion/candle shop. And right next door, the baby-toy and clothing store Romp is calling it quits after three…
The pace of retail turnover on Fifth Avenue shows no signs of slowing. However, at 143 Fifth off Douglass, the gentrification tide appears to be reversing: A good old-fashioned barber is going to replace the out-of-business perfume/body potion/candle shop. And right next door, the baby-toy and clothing store Romp is calling it quits after three years. (Romp fans will still be able to get their fix on the Web; the bricks-and-mortar location is shuttering because the store’s owner is moving away.) No word yet on what’s going to replace Romp. GMAP
5:16’s husband must be so glad to know she only married him in order to create a stable environment she views as mandatory for a child.
Do you really think your daughter isn’t going to figure this out? That little whore will be sucking the neighbor dilf’s cock for meth money before she hits 16.
“I DON’T have a legal paper and I AM quite happily together with someone who I don’t plan to have children with.”
“And you know what…if we grow apart, I’ll find someone else or I’ll be alone…”
Yes you will and it won’t cost you over 1/2 your net worth and massive legal bills to do it. Thank you for making my point about child rearing being a justification for MARRIAGE so clearly.
Just in case it still isnt clear to you
A “commitment” is NOT MARRIAGE
Move in together, sign a domestic partnership agreement; invite your partner’s family into your life as though they were your family, sign over 1/2 your net worth, 1/2 your current earnings and a percentage of your future earnings to your partner – wait 3-5 years and then we’ll talk.
I hope ALL the kid stores in Park Slope close, just so 5:16 can cry her daughter to sleep every night.
BTW, lady…you asked the following question…
“And if you are that minority couple that can stay happily together forever with little personal/emotional sacrifice – I still have to ask – why did you need some legal and religious commitment to facilitate that?”
I think I answered that quite well. I DON’T have a legal paper and I AM quite happily together with someone who I don’t plan to have children with.
And you know what…if we grow apart, I’ll find someone else or I’ll be alone. I like myself very much and enjoy my life…someone only adds to that, it doesn’t MAKE my life what it is.
Sounds like if (god forbid) anything would happen to your daughter or husband, you’d not really have much to live for, and that’s a real shame and a waste of a human being (you).
At least I don’t need a kid to make me happy.
5:06 – congratulations based on your post it appears your reading comprehension level is so low as to qualify you for SSI.
No my child is not a boy, nor do I think that homosexuality is a defect caused by bad parenting (poor reading skills are however)
My children are enjoying this thread.
Did you people not hear what I said? NAZI! NAZI NAZI NAZI! Why won’t you work, Godwin’s Law?! Why won’t this thread end?!
Then guess what 5:03! – Your not married and until you are, all your posts pontificating about the “proper” reason to get MARRIED are essentially the naive rantings of someone who really has no idea about what they speak (don’t worry – you fit in perfectly here at Brownstoner)
Cupcakes, yum! I’ll pour the milk!
