Thank heavens I am in the medical field...

Good for you. Thanks for sharing.

way to keep the money in the family by buying a place in NYC right now! keep up the good work!

That's great -- you can become NYC's first ever Trust Fund Brat.

my mother is a registered nurse. She doesn't know a single person who is unemployed. However, one of her co-workers' boyfriend is unemployed... lost his job in finance.

this must be a joke?

No.

why do you think anyone cares? hilarious.

My dad is a surgeon and my mom owns a medical business and now they make more from the business than what my dad gets in salary as a surgeon.

fantastic. Do you need a real estate agent? :)

This thread is the best argument for socialized medicine I've seen in a while.

come on...this is definitely a joke. kind of funny actually.

Which neighborhood downtown will be good for a rich gay boy?

I don't like uptown because Olivia on The City is such a bitch. Downtown seems more creative!

lol why don't you take some time to visit some of the properties available downtown in the various neighborhoods and see what you find most suitable for your needs?

why are you waiting until may? much better to buy now before market drops even further. you get it right---buy high, hold on and then sell low. a ray of sunshine in the gloom.

west81... .that's funny :)
bmw... just inform the gay guy from Tx that lower east side is for macho gay and west side is for feminine .... or is it the other way around... top? bottom?... now I'm confused... Oh well... gotta build that bomb shelter...

do you guys like ovaltine or just hot cocoa?

I agree. Socialize the medical industry and pay surgeons government salaries. Let's see if our rich gay friend will be able to afford Manhattan then.

But a bunch of closet gay media types live uptown, might work for you. Downtown is only after you have self realization.

keep bragging when you come to New York.

lolololol

w67thstreet...i like ovaltine but once every ten yrs because it tastes strange, so, i prefer the hot cocoa

I think you'd love Queens.

I don't think the salary of a surgeon will be effected much if medicine is socialized. My dad is a very prestigious surgeon and he said so.

Finance is so unstable, I don't know why it's so popular. I was seeing this married guy once in a while who was in the medical field when I was doing Summer @ NYU last year and he is all broke now and stopped giving me $7,000 a month for shopping. Gross how he is laid off now.

I feel sorry for people in finance.

Bomb shelter! W67th, you stole my line... bomb shelter has been my mantra.

>>It's so weird, while most people and businesses are getting poorer by the recession, my family has gotten richer in the past year!<<

Just... wait.

I mean, he was in finance!

My family can beat up YOUR family. Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!

Oh well, I'll always have my real daddy to fall back on if I ever need more money.

Another boring trailer-park tranny who thinks shopping is interesting. Yawn.

Texas exists for a reason.

Rufus, is that you?

Yea, Texas exists for making people rich with our healthy economy, then us bringing our money to New York and making it a better place!!

I mean, it's not like NYC would be as fabulous as it is not if it weren't for us "yuppie" transplants. It's not like native NYers do a thing to make the city nicer. Anyway, I'm so excited I'm about to become a New Yorker!!

:)

Yup, sounds like the Doof alright.

and so are we!

Isn't Texas the fattest place in the world?

Ewww, I'm not the Chicago person. I've been to Chicago and it seemed sooo "poor people" and not as fabulous as NY.

They don't have a lot of high-end stores and it seems to rough for someone like me. It seems catered to those poor blue collar people.

Definitely the Doof.

hot cocoa it is...

desgarcons... psss... psss....psss... i grew up in NYC... if you r coming here thinking you're rich..... it's the perfect city for a little reality check.... hell most superintendents in high end co-ops/condos make more than most programmers/left side/right side brain "artists" in the country.... :)

.. just wear leather chaps, a pink thong and walk around the Rambles.... in the 80's my High School "lefty" friends would be there every weekend... now one of them is trying to save the financial system. me thinkz his name was Barney... last name started with a F.. much skinnier back then :)

are you hoping to do this for a living? not bad, definitely livening up the evening.

nyc10022, I live in Houston and yes it's fat.

I'm just saying Houston has a good economy. Anyway, I told my dad to change the plates on my new BMW before I even move it to New York.

I don't want anyone to see where I'm from!

I sure hope we are talking at least 650 on the bimmer? better yet, an M6? don't even think about coming here with anything less.

oh this is getting too intellectual for me :)

columbiacounty, do what for a living?

egad!

It's an M6 convertible.

:)

3xP... my apologies... I'll leave the ditch on CPW and 65th... and move down to 60th and CPW.... just give me a day.... hard to dig while avoiding the cops, anyone got a con-ed outfit?

ok...that works. don't forget, though, you will want snow tires or put it away and get something else for those intimate winter hampton's weekends.

LOL, everyone thinks I'm a "male gold digger"! Even my friends.

Why don't you sell your BMW? You don't need a car in Manhattan. Plus, I can GUARANTEE you that it will get dented and/or scratched. If you park it on a narrow street and a nice large truck goes by, you can say goodbye to your side mirror.

pretty sure that there is a power fold up feature on the m6 mirrors.

Well, if yer lookin' fer gold, yer in the wrong city, kid.

Re: "I was seeing this married guy... stopped giving me $7,000 a month for shopping."

I say we have one count of prostitution and one count of tax evasion.

Admin, would you toss me this clown's IP address - let's see how his parents would react to one count of blackmail and one count of extortion :)

desi... $57K... that's like a year's tuition for my 3 yo... plz you wanna hang... you're gonna have to get stuff that no-one can even question if it's used or not... try a 599 or C GT.... your M6 C is cheaper than my pimped out Honda Odyssey... try harder.

Is your dad ok with spending the $3-4 mil on an apartment?

My rich friends in Manhattan have cars, and they drove me around Manhattan on the West Side and there wasn't a lot of traffic and it was better than riding the subway with all those sad gross people!

If it gets dented, I'll fix it! I don't care, it's leased anyway I'll just let them charge me for the wear and tear when I turn it in to get a better car.

come on...give him a break...much better than doom and gloom about refinancing.

W67, I actually know someone who has a bomb shelter (with gas storage tank!)... I think its really a fabulous idea.

I'm with ShortRegrets on this one.

"My rich friends in Manhattan have cars, and they drove me around Manhattan on the West Side and there wasn't a lot of traffic and it was better than riding the subway with all those sad gross people!"

Yes, Sunday at 6am maybe...

This guy is in for a rude awakening.... living in Manhattan without taking a subway. Ouch.

The married guy I was seeing had that 612 Scaglietti (sp) Ferrari. I thought it was ugly. I just liked the seats at the back.

He had a Bentley that I drove twice around Midtown, and it was cute and relaxing in traffic! But I saw like 20 of them in an hour Midtown and it's too common. I hardly saw M6s, so my car is good enough!

ShortRegrets, that's tax evasion? Is this a joke?

No joke ... don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

M6: you need to slash them open before you slash up their contents. I wonder why more people don't drive them around Manhattan?

Oh well, it's not like I would ever be caught with the so-called tax evasion.

lol

3xP... just read THE ROAD (the man with burned stumps, my wife corrected me on what that was, I completely misread it) while my son slept in my arms... not a good idea.

Now the mrs and I thinkz... it's not a bad idea :)... hard to dig with so many people around. Maybe scope out a spot on the Big island :)

And traffic in Houston is worse than New York.

What's your IP address?

If you don't know it, you can just provide your facebook

> And traffic in Houston is worse than New York.

So, I guess you've never been to New York then....
(whomever told you that was out of their mind).

BTW, I lived in houston for 6 months a few years back. Yes, it absolutely sucked, so good you are leaving. But if you think THAT is traffic (I was on the beltway in rush hour daily) then you haven't seen diddly...

LOL, I already have enough guys stalking me. Ones with $$.

Yes, we like dumb girls.

The traffic I encountered in New York was on par with Houston but a little worse. Driving in Manhattan on Sundays is also so pleasant with ample parking.

And parking around the clubs/driving home at night is easy!

Worse cities for parking
http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/2008/04/15/top-10-cities-with-the-worst-traffic/

New York is below Houston.

worst cities for driving***

nyc10022, I'm not a girl.

I LOVE STREETEASY.

Funny stuff.

Why would you have anyone stalking you? What are your mitigating factors?

Sarchasm - The insurmountable distance between the person being sarcastic and the one who doesn't get it.

http://www3.telus.net/planetkevin/files/ForumPics/gay_thread.jpg

alanhart, because I'm good looking and have a perfect body/ass?

I'm just taking a WILD guess here.

mazdamp, cute. very cute.

west81st- you don't seriously support socialized medicine, do you?

Riv_Drive - My post was about as serious as the thread starter.

hahah! OK then. I started to get scared for a second.

That being said, if I were a Dr. I would definitely be out buying an apt in the city right now. Co-op boards are sweating Drs. right now because their income is not at all bonus-dependent.

desgarcons - I know the perfect guy for you. His name is Rufus - only problem is that he lives in Chicago.

Oh, I'm very serious.

uh-huh

i am.

desgarcons, i still can't tell if u r kidding but email me at rglazer@bhsusa.com if you arent. Also, Olivia from the City lives downtown!!!

desgarcons, when you want to get away from IT ALL, go to Houston. IT didn't get there yet.

Is this agent rachel?

The very one. Herself.

alanhart--No way . . . I outed wonderboy as desgarcons quite a while ago . . . and I claim the reward money.

This is funny! :)

By the way Riv_Drive, I'm in favor of socialized medicine. Nearly every developed nation but the US has a form of socialized medicine. I am from one of those developed nations. Health care in America is shameful.

princetonbabe, of course *yawn* is an even more annoying incarnation of d'escargot, and of course you get the reward money. I was responding to the person who read a reference to Agent Rachel on another thread, searched, and asked on this one if she was she. She's clearly on a completely different spastosphere from d'Escargot/The Dreary One.

desgarcons, if there is even the slightest chance that this is not a joke, you are a disgusting waste of life and need to stay in texas with the rest of the rubes. what would be great would be if the whole state of texas just broke away from the contienet and floated away. then at least the worst of 50 would no longer be america's problem.
