Dunno about it being a Georgian, but it is a Brownstone. I am lucky, as of next year (when my sister will be in college) I'll have my own floor. :007) My bachelor's pad, if you will.

Does Manhattan still have that lousy rule where you can't sublet before so many years or something to that effect?

C'mon, friend...I'm bred and born there.
Plus I had an overpriced studio apartment in The Kitchen. I thought I could afford living in the city...I was wrong. )

The prices are INSANE. There was this brownstone on 80 something that was the corner of a street on CPW, it was beautiful and everything, and I'm assured the inside was quite nice, as well. The asking price? $15 mil. 8-)

Yeah, funny you should mention that because my wife and I were window shopping for a home, just in case we had the chance to move back for good.
This one place in lower 40s East was right up our alley in terms of look and conveinience...and then she saw the asking price... 7 million bucks.
I told her everything there was astronomical in price.

The prices have skyrocketed in the past few years, I mean, the value of my house has almost quintupled.

Well, unless we win the Texas lottery or I come into a great deal of money, via contract, moving back home will be put on hold a bit...I have no desire to move back to Queens...Brooklyn maybe but you have to pick the right spot.
I won't be able to afford a place in the Heights now from what I've heard.
Last ditch option will have to be upstate...not real fun.

Well, ask yourself if you'd rather buy a car or not, and then you know whether or not you want to live upstate.
So how come you want to relocate?

Y'know...some things are just in your blood, Night. Add in the fact that my immediate family are Southeners and were dazzled by the fast-paced energy of the city sort of makes you homesick.
Besides...Texas is just ridiculously hot...by February, I hate the Cowboys, no rain...I'm ranting aren't I?
Good money to be made here. It's a coporate city.

I hope you do end up back here. The city's calling your name. Do you have any idea how much it has been raining the past few weeks? It's like London/Seattle!

Rainy days make me feel so alive.
If my son had his way, he'd want to come back to live. I had to explain to him that NY kids are on a different plane compared to what he's used to; even told him of your near mugging to inject reality into the situation. I don't think he really appreciates the seriousness of this.
I know I'd go beserk if something like that happened to my child...Rikers, here I come.

If he's got big friends, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Many of my friends actually have been mugged, but I don't really know if it seems blown out of proportion or not. I mean, I think if you're careful most of the time and lucky the rest of the time you'll be fine. But you know all this already, probably more than I do.
Actually, to tell the truth, I never told my parents about my near mugging situation because I didn't want them to get worried and to take away my so called "freedom."

As a parent, myself, I'd probably side with them. Just be glad it didn't get any uglier than it did.
Yeah, I grew up fighting all of the time to just survive as a kid....and I lived in a pretty decent neighborhood. )
I know my kid would be fine but one day when you get in my shoes, you'll see what I mean.

From what I hear New York is better than it was before (thanks to Giuliani in part). And I don't need to be in your shoes to completely agree with you, because I do, and I know I'd feel the same way.
So it seems you really are Bond- lots of fighting AND lots of women? )

) No, I'm not a tough guy by no means, buddy...but it was required in order to get by, y'know?
I've never heard of a New Yorker who grew up unscathed, Night...male or female. )

I don't know what you mean by unscathed, but I haven't been in a REAL fight in years. I mean, there are always bouts of violence where guys are concerned, and sometimes things turn a little nasty when anger comes into it, but I haven't actually fought in years. Since 7th grade really, and even then it wasn't a real fight. It was short, this kid was being a jerk and came towards me, I dropped him, and that was the end of it. Actually, no, after I left he ran back at me and punched me in the gut, but I shurgged it off. I didn't really want it to escalate.
On that note, I'm going to bed.

Yep, like right now I have the James Bond Theme playing full blast in my headphones... Fun for a short time, 'cuz it feels like you're sitting in the front row and getting the fullest sound possible. And note that I said short time, and also I know what my limits are
Gosh, I felt like Bond last night... five of the cutest girls in my school came to my door at 9 o' clock just wantin' to spend time with me... it was alot of fun as we all get along well...still, a bit out of the ordinary.
Bah, all the women have forgotten about me... And while I feel lonely as heck, part of the time I really don't care... But only part of the time. Graduation's been a (hopefully temporary) curse to my social life (since I've never had a love life to begin with...)
I know, I'm pathetic. Here's to me for being pathetic...
This may seem like a strange question,but I was wondering,are what Americans call Graham Crackers the same as what we call in Britain Digestive Biscuits?
Odd question I know but I was just wondering...

Arthur, my friend, forgive me for laughing but some Brit intepretations are just hilarious to me. )
I do know that what we call cookies are called biscuits by you all so as far as being in the area as the same...I suppose so.
It always cracks me up when I hear a British person use the word "dodgy" or say "gut trouble" instead of stomach pains. )

I just looked at my original question about biscuits and I think I might have too much free time on my hands.That is,I'm afraid,one of the only downsides to being a millionaire playboy...you find yourself occasionaly asking biscuit related questions on forums...
