Courting no trouble

September 7, 2008 By pia

Many times lately I don’t know whether keeping this blog up is worth it. I had it redesigned specifically so I could add images not realizing that the problem was with the blog host.

Then I was shuffling between addresses and had no Internet service here nor TV–just when the Democratic convention was on, Gustav seemed as if it was going to pull a Katrina and the Repub convention began.

It’s frustrating to be a luddite in the world of the technically advanced or at least apt.

I didn’t realize until the week I was without services–which I would have been even if I were very advanced how dependent I have become on seeing news as it happens.

Maybe that would have been a great e-periment some other week but I do think it important to watch conventions and hurricanes that empty out a city. My father used to yell at me when I refused to watch “history” on TV and I think he was right–though he forced me to go bowling when Jack Ruby killed Oswald and though I saw the replay thousands of times I have never quite forgiven my parents for that.

This is about the funniest article I have ever read on fathers
Fathers on Long Island do tend to impart their wisdom on the Long Island Ep_pressway.

Probably as it’s a second home. And not just any second home but the most loved and the most hated. Loved as it can be a quick escape from Long Island–if you’re traveling between two and five AM.

Hated as the rest of the time it’s a huge parking lot commonly called The Big LIE–that’s very funny when you’re a kid.

I hope that when I go back to North Myrle, hopefully four weeks from this past Thursday, and maybe even before I buy a home, I will feel focused and able to write

I’m going to continue this blog as I have never dealt with interstate moving companies with storage before and during a recession and housing crisis they do put on the pressure–during the initial phone call. I e_cell at the “n” word, but I do feel as if I’m taking food out their kids mouth and then overtip every person at a counter. I can’t believe how much I tipped the deliveryman last night as I felt bad he had to go out in horrible weather.

Then I’m going to buy a house and again I have never bought an actual freestanding house nor bought real estate during “a time like this.”

I took down the post I had last night. I can only make big decisions right now–not is my post worthy or not? ones

    I liked he previous post, the one on my reader which you must have deleted.

    I sometimes listen to the financial and housing forecasts while driving.

    The next three to six months are supposed to be a prime time to purchase. Just don’t do that love on first sight thing. I see a very good deal in your future on many levels.

    “Is my post worthy or not” isn’t a big decision?

    Hmm, this completely changes my decision priority rankings.

    I guess “To nap or not nap” takes over #1 now.

    Thanks, ‘tor.

    The best response to questions of how long it takes to get there via the LIE “well if there’s no traffic…” As you said, between 2-5 am. That was a funny article you linked to. Thanks.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
