I can think of about 1/2 dozen people.

Long Island City. Absolutely no surprise there.

Some people like to work from home.

Most Chelsea is full of meth.

"Most Chelsea is full of meth."

Not according to the data. Unless Steve is holding out on us and "translating" is code for "cooking-up a new batch of crank".

Maybe the person's point was not that the labs are there but all of the users are in Cheslsea

If you believe that meth labs are in those 9 locations (plus others for sure) and ALL of the users are in Chelsea, you are either not too bright or you have read way too many hate-filled/anti-gay talking points memos from the right. You can choose which one you think Livewonder is....

Nah - don't do drugs, sorry. Or drink. Just coffee - it's my only vice, but perks up my low blood pressure.

Chelsea Boys don't cook very much - including meth. If you can't order it in, it's not worth having.

Another lie, you are an admitted alcoholic on streeteasy. Do we need to find the posts where youve admitted?

Haha...nice!!!

Oh come on now, who among us isn't an alcoholic....

i'm shock to see what this family is going through. there should be a more clear warning for screening those homes before they go into auction. this article redefined unlucky to me.

admin,

The next time you want to post an article about my house, please ask my permission first. Ok?

"Do we need to find the posts where youve admitted?"

Find them, check the dates. Haven't had a drink in over 6 months.

Sorry, nice try.

well, if were going to get into arguments about the last time we drank, I have never drank since I was 15 as I cannot tolerate the taste of alcohol.

Steve is a recovering alcoholic.

so is bush

Bush became President of the United States.

Stevejhx became a part-time auditor translator, part-time Streeteasy shill for nybits.com

Perhaps all of those things are true, but I'm happy to be me.

"I'm happy to be me."

that's all that matters in the end. and remember that in this very generous country even with all your flaws you still can be president!

steve, if you're in recovery, good for you. that can be a real bitch to stick with if you work from home.

"and remember that in this very generous country even with all your flaws you still can be president!"

Yes, I know that first hand.

Thanks, eliz, but I'm not in recovery. I simply stopped drinking because I got tired of the bar lifestyle. I was never an alcoholic, though that might disappoint mailery, which is as close to malraux as you can get in a name without admitting it.

Sometimes you just reach a point and say, "Why am I doing this if I don't enjoy it?"

And that's what happened.

PATSY: What will you drink if you stop drinking?
EDDY: I shall drink water.
[pause]
EDDY: It's a mixer, Pats. We have it with whiskey... I mean, YOU've given up drinking before.
PATSY: Worst eight hours of my life.

An existential crisis.

I love that Patsy lives above the Odd Bins. Hilarious.

Alcoholism is a disease and shouldn't be laughed at.

Steve: I thought you would like my identification with your existential crisis. :) That's the most difficult thing about not drinking.

--
Bloombro: Would you mind sharing how this particular exchange affected you personally?

The reason I ask is that I think discourse on how things are offensive is much more important to the community than enforcing categorical bans on speech, especially when the excluded category is so broad -- like disease.

I love Patsy & Eddy. One of the funniest scenes was when they were in the Sainsbury's on the Old Cromwell Road looking for someone to push their trolley for them, then Patsy starts guzzling the claret.

LMAO.

Thanks, admin. Great article.

There's a link in the NYT article : 'Was your hotel room used as a Meth lab?' & someone comments "Great, another thing to worry about" lol. But, jeez, whood-a thunk-it.

"Alcoholism is a disease and shouldn't be laughed at."

We're not laughing at it. We're laughing with it.

Haven't we all been in Patsy & Eddy's position at least once in our lives? Say that 4-year period between high school graduation and college graduation?

Steve: I was just thinking about whether I would write that in the past tense. I aspire to be in their situation. :) But I'll probably never accomplish that in my lifetime.

No drugs, seriously.
