Now tagless for your comfort.

They use "bubbler" up here, too, for some odd reason. I had no idea what they were talking about the first time I heard that.

A former super once told me about a Korean War Bride who had been in her rent-controlled apartment in my building for 50 years, and was paying something like $150/month. The husband had died years earlier. (FTR, my rent in that building was $1600/month.)

My upstairs neighbor on 4th Ave in Brooklyn lived sixty years in that building and was paying about $100/month for a whole floor of a brownstone (4 rooms and a kitchen). I was paying $900, and then $1350 after the owners sold it.

Of course, that's not quite as bad as the woman with the apartment in the swank West Village ($80 a month) who rented it out each summer for $600 thereby paying for her to go to Greece for two months.

That's brilliant.

People who can't make firm plans kill me. If I had known the ultimate plan for tonight was going to be right after work, I would have worn different clothes! Meh, it's not like I'm trying to impress anyone.

I forgot the best part. She makes you think you are getting a deal because she needs a catsitter and that's why it's only $600. I only found out her real rent because I saw a rent slip.

Those of you who know me will know that I don't consider anything involving me and a cat a deal, but at the time I was sharing a place with a woman I called Psycho Maria, and even cats were starting to look good.
