Chicago Population Sinks to 1920 Level

>hunter, if i may, the intricate puzzle you are constructing of columbiacounty's complexity is missing a very important piece. 2009 was a bad bad place. almost everyone was scared, almost everyone was affected, almost everyone's statements from their moneychangers arrived with notes of reassurance and encouragement along the lines of DON'T JUMP! YOU STILL HAVE YOUR HEALTH! what makes columbiacounty's case unique is the fact that his decision making process unfolded right here on this board, and was heavily and visibly influenced by members of that little posse he hangs out with. some people here like to scream at brokers and owners to put their money where their mouths are and buy lots of real estate. well, columbiacounty put HIS money where THEIR mouths were.....and we all know what happened next. so, while indiscriminately blaming any and everyone is certainly natural in that situation, he has the unique opportunity to actually blame specific people who influenced him - his streeteasy friends. chew on that!

Well listen, whatever the circumstances, there's a clear bitterness at the world, a clear envy of others here, and a true fear of what will be the remainder of his years on this planet. He didn't mention the 100 year old aunt for nothing - he's clearly afraid that his miserable and diminished circumstances, personality, physical capacity, and mental capacity will only get worse but that he might not expire sufficiently soon to preserve any shred of dignity that he might have had back in the roaring 70s.

by the way lucille, most of the posts made by aboutready referencing "we" were in a response to you.

Do you know who "we" are? Do you know who makes the determination about who is a "valued poster"?

if i tell, do you think she'll threaten to discovery me? it was lizyank.

still haven't explained your beef.

columbiacounty, have you tried 311?

rucille...tell me its not true.

>if i tell, do you think she'll threaten to discovery me? it was lizyank.

well, she has a free lawyer representing her, now that her husband got is no longer managing partner, he might have a lot of time on his hands.

>rucille...

Is that some sort of anti-Japanese joke? Can't you just move on?

rucille...tell me its not true.

what?

holy shit. i can't believe it.

believe what? we are in troll country right? no point in making everyone else read this shit

you really had me. nice work.

columbia, if given the choice, you'd rather be:

aboutready for her ability to fight
alanhart for his intellect and wit
w67thstreet for his hairyness

if you don't have friends.

make them up.

take amongst yourself.

its all good

and nuts.

oh columbia, if you were better human being, we might be sympathetic to your situation.

you really had me. nice work.

this again. fine.

columbiacounty, just for clarification, have you admitted MidtownerEast into your club, or is "he" still an outsider trying desperately to get in?

its much easier in your club isn't it? since you're the only one? doesn't allow for a lot of different opinions or disagreement?

sick fuck.

>sick fuck.

Poor pathetic columbiacounty. No pride. No future. No manhood. Nothing to say worth listening to.

so why are you so obsessed?

with?

Why hasn't "Truth" posted the documents relating to her massive fraud and corporate extortion???

Truth?

Why hasn't Truth posted anything having to do with real estate would be a better question I think.

Why hasn't apt23 ever seen a situation that she deemed positive?

Good point, apt23: Why hasn't "Truth" shed some light, via linked documents, on her lawsuit in which she accused her building management company of taking too long to change her lightbulb in her apartment? DAYS, in fact.

Just the word..........Chicago......

brings out the worst in some people.

I've been there. Nice town, good music, great food (except that thing they call pizza) and, friendly people.

It's a helluva town!

alanhart&the rest of that gang: Still on this thread after days. Still posting the same B.S.
Still trying to force me off of SE.

Actually apt23: I was having a discussion about Chicago, on topic.
Then along came falcogold, folloed by ah and ar. I've never read cc.'s comments.
And now, here you are.

I made no mention of Spinny on this thread but the gang hates that I like him. So they throw his name on here.
So,do you.

They are in a frenzy, the gang. SE is their bully playground.
I just laugh at them, and continue to log on to SE and logoff whenever I want. I have so many better things to do than plot and plan with that gang, against other people who they hate on SE. And, I'm not forced to give updates to ar about my life; and play my voicemail messages to her.

I have no problem with Lizyank. I had many nice conversations with her, exchanged many nice emails. She really is a good person. She's controlled by ar, but at least isn't on SE following orders from ar headquarters.
They are of no importance in my life. The "we".

And your little dog, too!

....In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still

and there's the little bowser. how cute.

Riversider: Don't waste it on this thread.
Leave it for the bullies.

lucillebluth: ar researches every real name she can get. There's nothing that ar knows that my friends an associates don't know about me. But threats are her thing. Lies and misinformation, designed to intimidate whomever she can't control.

I actually continued to email Lizyank,and she to me -- even after the ar meltdown.
If that's how ar treats a valued friend, such as Liz -- it's a shame. Liz got somw work from me. She was well paid and did a good job. I have the cancelled check. She would have gotten more work from me, but nobody wants to be involved with ar knowing their business, literally.

Neither ar or any of her gang has spoken to anybody that I do work for.
That they commented that they have done so, and feel proud of that, speaks for itself.
That they say the people I do work for feel sorry for me is pathetic.
I do good work for whomever I work with. They value my opinion. I'm part of something, working with talented people.

ar is not. and it frustrates her.

But, thanks Lucielle.

No, *I* dumped HER!!!

I think Truth's hero Bob Dylan said it best:

I think Truth's hero Bob Dylan said it best:

"Don't waste your words, they're just lies."

-- Fourth Time Around

how do you know which words are lies? just how good ARE you with that search function?

well rucille---your words are clearly lies.

what words? what are you talking about? and why do you keep misspelling lucille?

Wow, I posted a simple little story, and 140 posts later (half of them on "ignore"), nothing on TOP.

columbiacounty is speechless? something must be rotting somewhere. something foul. can you please, pretty please explain what you are talking about. pretty please. you can't just call someone a liar and run away like that. people might think you're a pussy who picks on women for no reason. and try to leave out the bizarre anger you have been misdirecting my way for some reason, while maintaining friendships with people who actually deserve that anger. anytime.

well rucille your words are clearly lies.

look at what you just said.

lies.

which part? that at the time you made probably the biggest financial mistake of your life you were pretty proud of yourself for doing it? and that the people who encouraged and influenced you to do this were your streeteasy friends? that can easily be proven by looking at the threads from back then. ill also be willing to bet that the actual professional money guy who manages (used to manage?) your money tried his best to talk you out of liquidating everything you had and the lowest point of The Great Recession and you dismissed his efforts as greedy and self serving. apparently forgetting that he serves himself by KEEPING YOU MONEYED. i know how you feel, because i know how close i came to making the same mistake. in the end though, i understood that the man whose own money comes out of mine is the opinion i should probably trust. you chose to go the hysterical route and trusted this crack team of annonymous and probably vicarious fortune makers.

interesting subtext.

lucille, do you really think i have svengali powers? i have enslaved a number of SE posters? that in and of itself is wildly off-base, paranoid at best, delusional in a very bad way at worst (sometimes i think the not-so-estimable truth actually thinks the "slaves" do indeed have zap-recipient collars).

truth, one of the (many) reasons i left this site originally was you. not because i was afraid of you, but because i was extremely loathe to attack someone so clearly mentally ill. but you were relentless in your baseless, foul and filled with lies attacks.

i pity you, truly i do. but the next time you attack me, i'll continue to attack back. get help. you need it.

wtf are you talking about? no one is attacking you, nutcase. i didn't say you enslaved anyone. i did say that your bad advice is the reason this man is now what he is. angry at the world.

you realize you can just scroll up and relive this tired conversation all over again? she just commented on the thread, and out you guys came. ???? you see and understand this, yes???????

lucille, you are losing it. you asked how is it possible to tell who is telling the truth. would you believe truth, who claims that i have enslaved numerous people?

wow, "no one is attacking you nutcase." you must be joking. truth is attacking me left and right.

bad advice? CC? you unhappy about your investment decisions? are you less happy now or more happy? am i the cause? i find myself granted an inordinate amount of power these days, i convinced you to go on a merry way of financial mayhem, i'm able to control people to the extent they become my slaves.

lucille has truly left the reservation. speaking of nutcases.

what was the terrible decision that i made?

lucille, i think cc just really despises you. i don't think it has anything to do with any financial decisions he made. but that's just my opinion, having read cc's posts over the years. but if you'd like to blame it on me, a la truth, go right ahead.

When is "Truth" going to post the links to her numerous frivolous scandal-less lawsuits?

when is rucille going to tell us all about the terrible decision i made?

wow, lucille, add you to the list of paranoid people. i come out and people just appear? or were you referring to yourself (not a good sign) who? cc seemed to be here already. i just got home from an early dinner.

conspiracy theories? you have a lot of other crazy ideas, so just add that to your column of absurdity.

columbiacounty, you really aren't in any position to point fingers at someone for lying.

hey lucille, change columbiacounty to corumbiacounty. That'll show him. Also, change aboutready to aboutleady.

and alanhart can be aranhart

lucille, i really think you need to read more closely, the attack comment was not directed at you.

hi huntersburg!

or alanhalt

or aranhalt

"you asked how is it possible to tell who is telling the truth."

i asked of midtowneast, who claims to be a recent addition to this happy family.

" i find myself granted an inordinate amount of power these days"

perhaps because you inject yourself into every conversation?

"lucille, i think cc just really despises you"

i'm not sure that statement improves the image of cc's mental health. despise is an awfully strong word for an anonymous poster on a random message board.

whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be funny in context.

>but if you'd like to blame it on me, a la truth, go right ahead.

paranoid?

"she just commented on the thread, and out you guys came. ???? you see and understand this, yes???????"

is what was written

"lucille, i really think you need to read more closely, the attack comment was not directed at you."

is what ar read in that line

lets try again

rucille....what was my terrible decision?

really, lucille? i inject myself into every conversation? i've been positively quiet while you've been spewing noxious shit all over the boards. and in terms of your question to ME, i posed a question that if answered honestly (which you seem not so capable of these days) would answer your question. anyone in their f'ng right mind can tell that this person has serious legitimacy issues.

as to despise, well, you've done you're own hurling of invective, subtle but mostly not, recently. look inward.

despise seems kind of mild, under the circumstances. mind you, i shouldn't have been speaking for CC, but he doesn't seem to sugar-coat his opinions.

"when is rucille going to tell us all about the terrible decision i made?"

i won't keep going at you, because, believe it or not, i actually feel for you and your situation. best of luck, and please stop following me around this board making up names. thank you in advance.

good night! to you and "truth" and to ph41 as well.

so, rucille.

you ask me why i call you a liar?

i call you a liar because you claim i made some terrible decision.

yet, when i ask you what decision?

you say you can't be bothered to explain?

rucille is a liar.

LucilleHasNoClueWhatCCDecidedToDo

"despise seems kind of mild, under the circumstances."

what circumstances? "noxious shit"? are you seriously this insane?

try to stay on topic.

what terrible decision did i make?

wow, i meant to go play scrabble, but i saw that somehow the phrase "noxious shit" denotes insanity, when rucille can't seem to recognize it in some batshit insane woman who claims i zap my slaves?

i don't think you're insane, lucille, but i think your understanding of reality generally is very limited. i agree with your assessment, in your case, or how the youth is spoiled and unable to view world conditions generally.

you said you were "all cash as of" sometime in the summer 09. possibly spring or fall, but i think i remember reading that at the beach house, so it must have been august. i had been watching your posts, because i had the same fears and i distictly remember your words. and at the time, you were very proud of your decision and believed it was a good one.

does rucille have one or two small children?

aboutready, i am now, in writing, asking you to please stop addressing me. i don't want to talk to you.

so...my terrible decision was to be all cash?

that was terrible?

the worst financial decision of my life?

Ah, the "beach house." Where else would a self-proclaimed attractive woman (so attractive she gets mistaken for a nanny!) hang out? It is truly noble of you, in such an esteemed position, to feel sorry for poor CC.

lucille, you think i give a shit what you want? after all this?

i'm sure cc would have liked you to quit writing non-erotic dross to him, but that didn't stop you.

oh, the selfishness of the youth. it's all about them, all of the time.

you're right, it is certainly possible you've made worse financial decision in your life.

is that supposed to be cute?

are you implying that i said that i made a terrible decision?

you're a liar.

and you're proving it.

"i'm sure cc would have liked you to quit writing non-erotic dross to him, but that didn't stop you."

um, crazy bag lady? every one of those was a response to his own strange posts about me. i will ask again, please stop talking to me.

>Ah, the "beach house." Where else would a self-proclaimed attractive woman (so attractive she gets mistaken for a nanny!) hang out? It is truly noble of you, in such an esteemed position, to feel sorry for poor CC.

is columbiacounty now your friend? or are you just pretending that since you rent a 1 bedroom in midtown east and are a virgin, that you can be part of his "cool" in crowd?

ah...the old "it wasn't my fault, he made me do it."

>so...my terrible decision was to be all cash?
>that was terrible?
>the worst financial decision of my life?

Did you do something worse?

rucille, can you not speak for yourself?

"are you implying that i said that i made a terrible decision?"

no, dear, i am *saying* that you have *implied* how terrible this decision was.

A. I am not your dear. Yuck.
B. I implied nothing of the sort.

As rucille would say, case closed.

Rucille is found to be a liar.

can you? or does your little barbershop quartet share the one brain?

crazy bag lady? wow, coming from crazy bitch lady that is something. no lucille, i'll respond if and when i want to.

cc, remember, almost all of us here are old enough to be her grandparents, so she might be lacking something in the experiential department.

Liar.

Poor pathetic impotent columbiacounty. Nothing to show for the past. No prospects for the future.

which part of rucille's made up personna makes sense?

at this point in our program, i will let you walk away with what you think is your dignity. don't ever say lucille is unkind.

nothing made up about you.

Just nothing to you.

>no lucille, i'll respond if and when i want to.

Are you sure?

>cc, remember, almost all of us here are old enough to be her grandparents, so she might be lacking something in the experiential department.

What do you do for a living? How big is your family? What constitutes your life experience?

wow, maybe lucille is truth. making similar claims. doesn't that make you feel a bit unclean, lucy?

Answer the question. What makes you experienced? What's your education? What do you do for a living? How big is your family?

oh hfscomm1.

never forget the rule.

you answer the questions.

you don't ask them.

columbiacounty, poor miserable man.

So tell us - you went to a birthday party for your aunt who turned 100. How did that make you feel? Knowing you might live that long as the miserable person you are with nothing.

rucille isn't truth.

truth can barely handle being truth.

Back to aboutready, you talk about your experience. What is your experience? What do you do for a living? What is your education? Do you have a large family you manage? Anything outstanding?
