GIVE IT A REST!

inventory better get here soon....................

See, just like a family...gets a little slow out there and we go after each other...
Prehaps now you see the utility of Shawn Flecker and his devious, malice, evil meeting missing ways.

WE MISS YOU SHAWN!

please, please.............f-up again.

rufie was so useful.

Not sure how we empower people to invest in the economy when we talk about taxing dividends,capital gains or tax income at increasing rates. Some rhetoric doesn't coincide well with the facts. Much of our government policy like Easy Street postings is confusing.

tell us about the "death tax" too

woops youll never pay this one...tell us wwhy not

ar--your decency and sincerity make you a target--unfortunately that will be your plight

annoying to read of your "financial decision" to have one child-and the "lawyer" thing-cheap shots from a cowardly scum-a really timid cowardly scum-who has karma to face

I have suggested a 'fat' tax and a 'lazy' tax but, have yet to consider a 'death' tax which begs the question...do you pay when you die or...pay when you kill...do you pay if it's metaphorical because that would really generate some bucks. What about an auto-erotica tax? That would make defalting on a school loan look like a joke. Prehaps there a way to attach a device to the wrists of adolesent boys that would generate electricty!!! So long to international energy dependence, hello economic recovery!
Sometimes the solution is right under your nose or, in this case right under the belly button.

How about a flat tax.

your decency and sincerity make you a target--unfortunately that will be your plight

NOPE! That would be cursing and disprect towards others view points.

but Riversider - obviously many have drunk of AR's koolaid (and if someone needs to have that reference explained, just ask), so they don't mind the cursing and disrespect.

bump

a masturbation tax... good grief what would we do with all that $$$$, pave the streets of NYC with gold?

ph41/printer... do you rally think 1 (ar) blogger on SE is to blame for the bursting of this BUBBLE? Do you think my laughing at all the lemmings buying while I can clearly feel the air from this bubble blowing cool crisp breezes on my butthole is indeed the pin prick that made this bubble pop? You give us way way way too much credit. We are pointing out facts and figures, whether you choose to believe it is in your interest/peril.

ph41... can you please tell me how the above $2.7MM penthouse compares to your abode?

Falco.. chk it out, "I'm a rich swinging dick, don't need to sell... two months of $20K kick to the nutz.... maybe we'll try this market again" FLMAO... seriously ph41 i'll keep track of all the PH trading so you "know" where you stand/sleep.

double bump and a hump.. .and let me spin you around 180 degrees... and another bump and a hump...

67 - I blame 1 blogger (you) for the decline in civility on these boards.

amazing...

i'm still wondering if PH knows the difference between the height of the market and the bottom.

Always an easier call in retrospect.

that's the point...first the comp was from may then mysteriously came from the fall of 2008. very different points in time and asset values.

w67th - you really can't figure out that an apartment numbered 111 is on the first floor of a building? Why don't you look at the Penthouse in that building - at $5.75MM - quite a bit smaller inside than my apartment, but hey, who wouldn't kill for that huge terrace on CPW .
So when you track Penthouses, make sure to put that word in the "description" part of advanced search!

And seriously, is there any reason for your vulgarity?

On that note, I had very strong conviction in March that we'd never be above 8400 on the DOW for years to come, and yet here we are almost at 10000. Reminds me of the strong convictions I'm hearing about real estate here. DOW 8400 and Gold 1000+ might be my view of the world, but it would be a mistake to think it is a view with absolute certainty.

Oh, and W67th - let's not count "penthouses" in townhouses - not quite the same thing, oh, and let's try to specify at least 3 Bedrooms/3 baths- and a terrace, not a balcony.
just did that on the UWS (actually looked only for 2 baths to make it more inclusive) - not a whole lot of stuff under $4-5MMM, most are more if they're not in fringe area. Just for fun, I'm going to do that search on the upper east side.

but....

515 days on market in StreetEasy for your "who wouldn't kill for that huge terrace on CPW ." what do you think---just needs some more time till the find the right person?

you're missing the point---no one cares what your apartment is or is not worth. the point is that like everything else its worth a whole lot less than it was 12 months ago. of course you don't care either because you've never gonna sell so why the endless justification of how valuable it is?

I agree, my apartment is worth less than it was 12 months ago, and that's right, I am not going to sell. It is YOU who seem to be obsessed with determining what my apartment is currently worth, (actually you seem to care a lot) not I. It is you who are obsessed with trying to convince everybody that the market is tumbling down, down, down.

Did you do a "penthouse" search? Thought you were going to track this category.

you're either mixing me up with someone else or becoming delusional. why would i want to track this category? i've given up trying to convince anybody of anything -- I'm presenting my opinion as my opinion and facts as facts with reasonable back-up. you're the one who cited a comp "from four months ago" and then said, whoops, I meant last fall.

you kow what ph41....youre right

you are a complete fucking douchebag

i hit a nerve.. i hit a nerve... i hit a nerve... nananananananananan hahahahahaah nananananananana

play it cool ph41... doesn't become of the landed gentry...

CC- right, mixed you up with W67th - see above - but you always jump right in.

Ubottom - very pithy contribution, though, then again, totally meaningless and totally vulgar. What in hell are you thinking of?

thank you printer.. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

pls don't pull a Carolst on us.. it'll ruin my image of a penthouse owner... really will damage.. it... psss pssss.. a real question.

Do you get a high, when another person gets on the elevator and presses the 2nd highest floor and you come over the top and press PH, and did you lobby the Board to change the numerical numbering system with a "PH" button and then celebrate w/ champagne? Serious question.

W67th street- what nerve did you hit? I certainly didn't feel it.

Oh, that's right, you couldn't figure out that the apartment numbered 111 is on the first floor of the building.

Hey, come on - "keep track of all the PH trading"I know where I "stand, sleep" - have a feeling it will help me sleep even better than I do now.

what's a little mistake amongst friends? I take the "throw a lot (learned it was two words) of shit " and see what sticks. I will tell you, it is my belief we will test 2001-2003 prices in the Spring of 2010.... and lots of sideways trading to 1999-2001 prices at some point in the future.

My macro-econ/i-banking/commerical-banking/study of human nature/nyc re cycles all give me that "gut" feeling. Welcome to the greatest RE bubble in NYC... I'm glad you enjoyed the ride up, but like a roller-coaster, it gets really really really fun on the way down.... just when you are about to puke... the cars bank left and into the tunnel... .LOVE SPACE MOUNTAIN

What's this about #111 at the Alden being on the first floor? It's on the 11th.

Duh, never mind. The roof-deck picture threw me off.

NWT, I absolutely agree... this borker completely wants to mis-lead you... I mean why put in pictures of the Eiffel Tower if it's in NYC? WTF? FLMAO... maybe it 1200 sq ft? F'n idiot misleading broker.

W67th - to respond to your "serious question" the button was labeled PH when we bought the apartment, but that's probably because the man who built this apartment for himself, also was the man who built this building, as well as many others in NY.

I have noticed, however, that people are very polite - saying "good night" or "have a good evening" when they get off the elevator on a lower floor, and I, because I am a polite human being, reply in kind. Does that count?

And, while I agree that one shouldn't show these posts to children, I do wonder if you have any shown any of your vituperative, expletive filled rants to your wife. Somehow I doubt it. Especially as so many are very misogynistic..

isn't your statement "when they get off the elevator on a lower floor" redundant? wouldn't they always have to get off on a lower floor or do you share your esteemed perch with other mighty immortals?

couldn't be further from the truth.. I have a daughter so I would wish her the same opportunities as my son... (but to deny the differences between a woman and a man, is to deny one sex is the attracting sex and the other a seeking sex) my wife is her own woman, much smarter than I and after 10 yrs or marriage and seeing 2 children being born from her vaginal canal... there is absolutely nothing but honesty in our marriage... i've seen her at her worst and best, as she too has seen in me. I claim no rights to her assets or income. She is a free woman to do as she pleases, right now she is completely focused on running a few marathons. That's her SE.

Me, let's just say... I come on here to do what I do, b/c I do not do this in polite company at the yacht club. : ) Although, a few gin and tonics and some college buds and watch OUT WORLD!!!!!

oh CC - are you reduced to such lowly nitpicking? How sad.

chill chill chill
ph41, time to step out on your wrap terrace and take a gander at the amazing city that lies at your feet. stroll the entire length of this magnificent feature and bask in all the glory that you survey. I dream of living in just such a manner. I will also allow you the joy of knowing that I am still in a rental (top floor but hardly a penthouse). In the world of material conquest for the moment, you have kicked my ass..............enjoy your moment and stop being such a dick.

W67th street- YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. Have you shown your wife a representative selection of your SE postings? I am sure you TELL her you post on SE, but HAS SHE SEEN YOUR POSTINGS?

hardly--you're so full of it, you don't even realize it. 99 out of 100 normal people making the statement you made would not include the snide comment. by definition, people get off the elevator in ascending order by floor. first you can't tell the difference between may '09 and fall '08, then you can't tell the difference between w67 and me. read back to where all this started with you trashing someone else.

uh oh...

carolst started with caps, and we know what happened next.

And not misogynistic? "one sex is the attracting sex and the other a seeking sex" ? Do you live in NYC in the 21st century? Tell your daughter to be the passive "attracting" sex when she's older - hope she doesn't laugh in your face (unless you are looking for a bride price for her).

falcogold - I really don't think I am the one being a "dick" here, but I will take your advice. Going out now to sweep up all the leaves that fell after the heavy rains, (had some big trees topple over) water where necessary, and enjoy my glass of wine out on the terrace while watching the sunset.

Great idea - Thanks!!

she can't seem to help herself: no regular old shitty trees for her---only big ones.

CC- no, idiot, I just couldn't believe the damn things in those huge pots actually blew over!!

Ayi yi yi...I love CarolSt the piñata!
I love Carolst, I love her, I do
I love Carolst, I whack her with you!
Ayi yi yi...I love CarolSt the piñata!
I whack her, You whack her, she spins all around
I whack her, You smack her, treats fall to the ground
Ayi yi yi...I love CarolSt the piñata!

(sung to the tune of the frito-bandito song)

ph41,
any time, that's what friends are for.

w67---its all yours.

she's calling for huge.

alrighty.. .where shall i start... I know know... tonite ph41, pls look into your husband's pants... see the pendulous thing.... that's called a penis... now search down your own $500 pair of underwear and look for ms. majora/minora... see there really are differences.

LMAO. The next time I am about to burn in a house fire and a 80lbs girl fireman comes up to "save" me... i'll think of you and your definition of misogyny.... Look you PH button pushing, looking down on us ("little" rental) people, non-yeast infection lady => THERE IS A F DIFFERENCE between being a realist and pushing equality as much as possible in compensation, Golf Club memberships and accepting and enjoying the fact a "GOD" thought it cool to make us exactly the same, but different. Next time when you walk into Saks, ask yourself why there is an ENTIRE floor dedicated to make-up and perfume, but not one for MEN? Get a clue.....

Hope your trees topple over on some of us little people, so the gypsies amongst us can sue the hell out of you.

ph41, did you just call someone an "idiot." hypocrisy, much?

well, when AR goes on her soapbox,protesting for all those who should be able to have the happiness they desire "without havings to to devote half their take home pay to achieving it" and calls someone an "idiot" or worse...

actually i wrote without having, not havings. i make plenty of typos, but would prefer to have them accurately depicted.

The wolf pack begins to circle the armadillo
they have already seperated the weak one from the pack.
They snarl and hiss as the prey becomes cornered and anxious.
Now, here's the brilliant transitional seg way that makes Marlin Perkins the genious he was...

Now the armadillo has a thick outer layer to protect itself from such danger but, as a human
Your gonna need a shit load of insurance.

everyone knows who the armadillo is?...right?

falco, printer once posted in a thread that he/she had never maligned me (i think it was had never had interaction, acutally). after huge amounts of maligning. i have an awesome memory.

that comment about how my decision to not have another child was financial (read greedy) not medical (read needy) will be trotted out every time printer makes another comment. complete and utter asshole.

and ph41 decided to hitch a ride. after i'd already tried damn hard to bury earlier animosity despite obvious efforts to call me a liar on the mommy are we poor thread. sometimes a girl just has to say fuck it and fuck you.

who?...oh, you mean douchybag
the duchess of douchy!!

oh pithymouth...youre such a prissymouth

you know, jon stewart throws out the f bomb how many times an episode? if you don't like him don't watch.

if you want a moderated forum for real estate discussion go to wired. but i suspect ph41 that's not your real goal. sold much high level real estate recently?

AR....sorry my dear...you are one of the wolves.

I'm not trying to be coy. when we get someone on here who gets personal or out of line there is a tendency for the regulars to circle the wagons regardles of past comments and idiological differences. what we have here is one or two gadflies with little to offer and a prickly demenor. It get's too personal and it's time to kick the ass of the obnoxious new kid on the block or more likely the 'newly' reincarnated obnoxious kid on the block.

ar- what are you talking about - didn't want to sink this low, BUT , country house - second child - country house - second child - country house- second child - COUNTRY HOUSE WINS.

falco, honey, what do i do when i'm routinely called horrific names? cunt comes to mind? and others?

do you really think that i don't support the masses? that i routinely go after people with opposing views? hell, even steveF said something complimentary to me today. i went after riversider for very specific reasons, and you'd have to follow a long trail to figure it out. but think about what this venue would be without strong advocacy. and other than those that have attacked me personally, where have i been a wolf?

i will admit that once every couple of months i erupt, usually after a glass of wine too many. but can you imagine what it's like to routinely be defiled just because you care about people?

and Falco I'M out of line ? The REGULARS circle the wagons? Do you actually READ what you write? and think this is normal? How sad are you? I am the one who gets personal? Have you read the incredible invective in these posts? None of which came from me?

Try to kick my ass- never will happen - because you are totally pathetic.

OH yes, have to leave SE now because I'm now planning our next trips - Hong Kong (first) , then skiing , then Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Will not miss any of you.

Why AR - speechless? or just jealous?

i went after riversider for very specific reasons

LIBERAL INTOLLERANCE?

why would i be jealous? i spend about 8 weeks out the country yearly. next year it's two weeks in Buenos Aires for spring break, and one week in rome, two weeks in nice and one week in london for the summer. haven't decided what we'll do in august.

Oh, and yes, within the past year and a half - India, Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Jackson Hole, Vienna,. Amststerdam, Hong Kong - eat your damned heart out.

I was metaphorical.
ph41, I invite you to place me on ignore so you do not waste one more moment of your presious life of my posts. To answer your question...type and push reply...no proof reading...I am an aquired taste. I will now take every opportunity to make wise cracking demening remarks as long as they have some humor to them and they are at your expence.
So, think of it as a promotion...you have gone from butt to butt of my jokes.
I could crack on you all night but, more crack you seem not in need of.
Now that the terrace is all swept up allow me to recommend a brazilian bikini wax...you seem just a few hairs away from being the perfect asshole.
Shame you can't read this since I'm on ignore.

Watch out for Buenos Aires - seems to be a center for the swine flu (that's actually true).

Oh, I forgot our trip last year to Antarctica.

Guess we just travel too much

oh yes, we're having another carolst moment.

altitude sickness. wouldn't care for machu. rich asshole sickness, wouldn't care for jackson hole. husband was in vienna this year, said i would be a bit bored. i've been to hong kong a couple of times, will go to india when daughter is older although south africa/kenya is higher on our list.

amsterdam, interesting on a social level, no need to go. galapagos, excellent.

no need to eat my damned heart out, as i can afford everything you discuss.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_n71lIbSnKXc/SikXq7rnnhI/AAAAAAAABho/m3eBO3LXQ5Y/s400/Bugs_Bunny_Hare_Remover_Screwball.jpg

falco, sorry, should have known better. i'm sad to say that this bitch actually made me cry.

Right, have been on 3 safaris already, though the last one was 2 years ago - and if you think you wouldn't love Machu, you are really, really stupid - take the altitude sickness pills to see one of the most amazing sights in the world. (Truly, truly amazing). Amesterdam, on a social level? (museums, architecture, fabulous tulips at tulip time - try the river cruise - please, get real).

India - Taj Mahal (not good enough for you)? though I would avoid Calcutta ( truly disgusting).

Or, how about St. Peterburg - been there 3 times - another must see city.

And Vienna - with some of the most amazing museums in the world - and beautiful architecture. Is your husband a Philistine? Probably he just needed you to be there with him to really be able to enjoy it.

ph41, you're older, i'd guess. it's not money, at least now, that keeps me from areas. it's weather, vacation schedules, etc.

i can't do machu. really, it's not just altitude sickness, it's a lactic acid buildup in the leg muscles. i can't even do mount hood now. anything above 8000 feet and my muscles shut down. happens to many people.

but thanks for calling me stupid. nice. and amsterdam? why would you be derisive of my not wanting to go there? i've got hundreds of places i want to see. because they don't coincide with your choices that's stupid? i want to do the seychelles, and turkey, and greece, and the spine of chile/argentina, someday hopefully cashmir and kenya. and i should be ridiculed because you've done some thing and i have not? i lived in asia for two years, back when i was very young, our summer rental was on mt. fuji and i travelled all over asia. once again you're a total bitch/asshole.

peace be with you -let the demons sleep

And that is how you respond to a very sincere post?You thought I was trying to be superior? You just have too many tender spots.

thankfully my demons are mostly exorcised. but cruelty is cruelty. really. and that comment about having a second child? absolutely fucking assholic.

actually, ph41, our comments passed each other. i sat thinking about my response. but i can't forgive your comment about the second child. sorry, i just can't.

aboutready - I am really sorry about that - it just seemed that you had made an economic decision about having a second child, and all these really nasty posts got my back up. If your decision was taken out of your hands by medical reasons, please forgive me.

ph41, yes the decision was taken out of my hands. but that can be said of age as well, no? and how many on this board would be happy to demean people who had made the stupid decision to have too many children? 7 years ago my husband was not an equity partner, and prices for everything were skyrocketing. just try to step out of your own comfortable niche and realize what it's been like for most people.

be grateful for your good luck and timing. and be aware that that was indeed what it was. as i have said before, you don't really get where i'm coming from. but thank you for your apology. and i did really cry. buckets, actually, which perhaps was quite healthy.

AR - I think I must meet you in person.

i hit a nerve.. i hit a nerve... i hit a nerve... nananananananananan hahahahahaah nananananananana

To quote John McEnroe, "you can not be serious"

It was less than one week ago that you had a complete breakdown on Streeteasy (http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/14482-w67thstreet-would-like-to-apologize), worried about the appearance of your relationships with children based exclusively on statements that YOU had made, wanting a retraction of my or other third parties' statements about your behaviour that I didn't make and didn't see anyone else making (still unclear who said something other than you). What were you afraid of? Why'd you turn to Jello? How are your nerves? Or do doggies not have nerves?

And I still remember the time you wanted residents of the middle east locked in a room to kill each other. A thread that was deleted, no doubt since the record doesn't exist that's a benefit to your otherwise pristine reputation.

oh, and aboutready, streeteasy's favorite wench, you are so good at telling everyone to fuck off and then you play the sensitive card with ph41?

ph41, i'd be happy to meet. truly. aboutreadyse gmail.

or i think 10023 was talking about another meet up for the group. come and meet.

come on?!?!?!??!? You've got to be kidding me.... Oh well. Have a gin and tonic on me, send me the bill aboutready... you know where to find me.

Wonderful - look forward to it.

wait, aboutready and ph41 can't get along. What will w67thstreet do with all of his pent up anger and extra doggie testosterone? Just "poor old" me?

I'm expecting a flood of words with a 'z'.

i don't care if i get along with ph41, i still lovez w67th, even though he's sadly disappointed in me.

"i will fry somebody's ass who tries to fuck with me or us in a public setting."

what's with the "us"?

w67th, did you hear that, aboutready said you can't take care of yourself.

aboutready, your husband might wonder why your attention is diverted. And your daughter too.

and lastly, my ass hasn't been fried. Should we schedule an appointment for that?

actually, reconsidered. naivete. ph41, show up at the next gathering.

Looking forward to the next gathering. I e-mailed you (or tried) so you should have my e-mail to let me know time/place

why would I be disappointed in you ar? Enjoy the drinks, send me the bill and can't wait to take you and the family sailing.

oh west 67th, can't wait to go sailing. lots of love to the kiddums.

and finally, where can i get the best CD rates... i fear I need to lock it up for a year, just in case my wife starts getting the "nesting" feeling again.

onthemove told you. you just weren't paying attention.

stop that woman, now. no don't. she's the best, isn't she? and you couldn't STOP her if you tried, and you don't have to, because you're in LOVE.

i know that feeling. i'm in love too. almost twenty years, this coming april fool's day.

Another day another day on se. Good nite and sweet dreams. It's my bday this week. 40 coming way way way too quickly ( is that 2 words or three?).

Good nite ph41

"i know that feeling. i'm in love too. almost twenty years, this coming april fool's day."

Scary: 20 years 2 days later.

w67th - good night to you too
