Neighborhood Chat / Re: Police arrest day laborers
« on: October 24, 2008, 08:03:05 AM »I am a woman and I walk by there every day. The men that congregate there have never been anything but polite to me. They don't catcall women.
I walk down Roosevelt to the subway every morning... and not a day goes by that a couple of them don't catcall. I don't take the subway home when it gets too late because there are always men hanging around there then, also. I'm simply walking by and not bothering them, so I don't know why they feel the need to talk to me. They make kissing noises as well.
Either one of you is making it up, or the other one is too unattractive/old to waste time catcalling.
Try stopping at a light there in anything that resembles a work vehicle and mistakenly make eye contact with one of them. It's like a flock of pigeons going after a half-eaten donut.
The Police's, or more likely the Dept of Consumer Affairs' time would be better spent going after the contractors that pick these guys up for work every day. Seize a few vehicles and revoke a few licences and you'll see how fast they disappear.

I am outraged.
Myself as well.

« on: July 08, 2008, 05:50:08 PM »Have you tried "Big Boys" bar on 75th and 31st Avenue across from Danta's near the shopping center? They have good wings there (or at least they did) I haven't been there in a long time! Hey and from what I remember this is a good bar to hangout at and kick back but, its a long walk if you live near 37th Ave.
it's Cassidy's ale house now. last 2 times i had wings there they were tiny as hell.

They were $90 on astorians.com, now down to $85 here.
Will they now be $75 on astorians.com?

« on: June 20, 2008, 08:24:20 PM »I go hiking/camping in Harriman State Park, NY. You can get there by taking NJ Transit from Penn Station to Tuxedo, but I also like to drive there on the Palisades Parkway.
How's the camping there? I take my canoe up there when I have time and find it a little busy with the public beaches and summer camps. I don't have the time and gas money to drive far enough into the 'Dacks to get some piece and quiet.

Didn't say he was good... just that he was Batman.
Batman is hardcore, so he should get some props for being him.
Yes, I agree, Christian Bale is doing the best job so far as the Dark Knight.
On the topic of Batman, has anyone seen this?...

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Re: Super Tip question
« on: June 15, 2008, 04:12:18 PM »If I need something done that is not building-related, I call Handyman-B. At least I know it will GET done, get done correctly, and I don't mind being given a rate to pay when I call on him. The fee is always fair and reasonable, and the problem is rectified correctly.
Awww, gosh. :embarassed:

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Re: Super Tip question
« on: June 14, 2008, 05:53:13 PM »Are you saying, people don't tip you often? That's horrible. In my building the Super always gets tipped when he does work that's not part of his regular duties.
I base $20 on the fact that it probably took about 30 minutes, max, to put in the unit. But the Super still had to get his tools, lift the unit, drill in the screws, make sure it was secure etc. That's worth $20. And I still give money at Christmas every year because my Super takes packages when people aren't home from delivery people (they don't have to) and helps out in too many ways to count.
Hey, I do all that shit. Maybe you should move into my building. :-) Thanks for making me feel pretty una-freaking-preciated. :tickedoff:

It's a moral imperative that you see this film.
Which reminds me... as cheesy as it was, "Real Genius" had some pretty funny parts to it.
