    15% of the yearly rent here in NYC, broker fee :)
    ensuring that I never ever move ... ever again.

    • some landlords rent apts themselves. depends what you looking for. the nofee apt stuff never seen to pan outyurimon
    • It's the system man! They've got everybody!!pango
    • yurimon so why even mention it?
      nah -- pango, just the way it is. i can do it, i just realize that it's $ i could be putting down for a Condo
      bklyndroobeki
    • it feels like there's a fee for everything. leaving you enough to just survive and nothing else... :(pango
    • All good apts you need a fucking broker. Holy fuck it's like 5 figures to move in NYC.monospaced
    • you can avoid if you use a commercial broker n get an office/live workyurimon
    • That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard yurimonospaced
    • Live work always sound like a terrible idea...pango
    • Although i've always dreamed of living in a ware house... throwing big ass party all the time... and really just get messing making art and stuffs.pango
    • not really mono ive seen few of these set ups. was well done for a rental. it was legally done. 1br with roof access and sep entrance to a studio space like 400yurimon
    • sq feet to do what you please with that space with separate entrance. you should think before talking.yurimon
    • because it was a commercial broker, fee paid by the landlord if i wanted that space. great location in the fashion district.yurimon
    • another trick is to ask supers of certain buildings. if pass through an area pre war type buildings. they would a fraction of the action. nah sayin..yurimon
    • ^love a fraction of the cut..yurimon
    • 400 sq ft studio? Sounds shit.monospaced
    • approx 400-600 for the work area facing the street you could have clients over. one apt was 2 bedroom. total sq footage combined was approx 1400 sq feetyurimon
    • and it wasnt shit. separate entrance from the hallway. you can also enter from apt if you wanted personally. it was good. you dont know sheet.yurimon
    • yes I domonospaced

    I bought a box of Clif Bars that was recalled due to them containing Listeria monocytogenes. I was issued a refund, but didn't have to return the product. Now I'm stuck with a box of recalled Clif Bars. What should i do with them. It seems like a waste if I just throw them away!

    I am dating a smoker and it is really starting to bug me that she smokes and it is affecting me more than I ever thought it would.

    This is not good. I really like her.

    It makes me want to control all of her unhealthy habits and that is really not good. I don't want to tell her how to live her life.

    • give her something else to suck on.

    • i meant vape... bro...pango
    • thats actually a good idea. thanks.docpoz
    • but is vape healthy? doesnt seem like it. although it would be less annoying from a 3rd person standpoint... hm....docpoz
    • i wouldn't use the word healthy. but less harmful. the only annoying things is the idea of vape and the obnoxious amount of smoke. otherwise it smells quitepango
    • nice imo.pango
    • http://s2.quickmeme.…omg
    • the vape has electrolytesmoldero
    • if you want to break up keep giving her a hard time about smoking.Gnash
    • every smoker already knows all the reasons not to smoke. either put up with it or end it but stop moaning to her about it.Gnash
    • Start smoking. Sorted.set
    • I hate that toodrake-von-drake
    • does she have interest in quitting?bklyndroobeki
    • does she smell like cigarettes? is she getting dried up? and is it chain smoking?yurimon
    • i've learned you cannot directly stop smokers from smoking. you just end up being a meddling pest to their hobby of smokeomg
    • just get her pregnant, she would be forced to quit.yurimon
    • kiddin. it depends on your tolerance level of her frequency, times and over all habit. some smoke only if they socially drink, prob for me an annoying factoryurimon
    • would be if the woman smoked everytime you step outside. or a chain smoker.yurimon
    • is she healthy over all? imagine her in 10-20 years of her habits including dieting. if you get annoyed every time she smokes then its deal breaker.yurimon
    • also priorities of life. on one hand you have a habit, already known to be unhealthy and on the other you have potential for a good relationship.yurimon
    • i'd pick the relationship over an unhealthy habit every time.yurimon
    • how come every time you make an attempt to talk about normal human stuff you sound like a fuckkng freak yuri? Holy shit it's creepy.monospaced
    • Lolpango
    • docpoz u sound like my gf 2 years ago when we had to "talk" about my bad habits :) it was fucking awesome how she managed to get me off from smoking.sted
    • she used reverse psychology what i just realized few week after, but it was enough to begin to quit :) yeah sometimes I fall back but wtf)sted
    • There's nothing wrong with talking about how it's affecting you with her. If she's on your same level, it will give her something to think aboit.sea_sea
    • I know I slowly stopped after my person expressed his dislike. At least it made me more aware and considerate of him. It wasn't all about me anymore.sea_sea
    • mono, your little bitchy exaggerated responses are creepy.yurimon
    • and quit stalking me you creep!yurimon
    • You deserve each other.aiapaec
    • As Sted said. If she's feeling you as much as you are feeling her then she'll maybe think about stopping to keep you. My now wife didnt like me smoking ...microkorg
    • ... id always been looking for a real excuse to stop as never had the willpower or need to before. So I stopped for both myself and her.microkorg
    • I was neither exaggerating nor stalking you dumb shit. Go back to the politics thread and leave normal to the primates please.monospaced
    • creepy mono is getting creepieryurimon
    • when you resort to repeating someone, you just look like you're out of ideasmonospaced
    • oh, here we go cant quit. sometimes i feel like you are like a scorned woman. https://cdn3.volusio…yurimon
    • Ask her about the vapor things. I ended a relationship with a girl because I just couldn't stand the taste.formed
    • Afterwards, she simply said "if you had told me I would have used the vapor things". Good compromise, then worry later about her quitting altogether.formed
    • sea that's awesome. "love someone other than yourself"bklyndroobeki
    • thanks, everyone.docpoz
    • Saw a man with a baby stroller in daylight crowded Chinatown, butts hanging off dat-cig while he was holding/walking the stroller w/ 2 hands. all this to say...bklyndroobeki

    JazzX or JaXz or whatever?

    And:

    Does yurimon have multiple personalities?

    Why does Georges only signs with the same account all the time?

    • bahahahahaha!...oey
    • As far as I know. None of them are ORAZALpango

    So Pinterest has changed the concept from "Pin" to "Save"... I'll miss the old metaphor of pinning towards "saving" on Pinterest. I wonder why they would abandon the analogous meaning to its own name. Pinning on Pinterest vs Saving on Pinterest.

    hey! probably not the best place to post this but this thread has greater traffic than the relevant ones.

    I'm looking for an English grammar and stylistics analyst tool what was posted here few weeks ago. I would really appreciate if someone could push the link here on right side of this post :) I was an idiot and just pasted some text from yuri to check it out, I noted that it's quite good and closed the window without even looking at the url :) thx.

    My wife and I are selling our condo in Chicago and shopping for a house in the suburbs. Considering buying a mid 1950s tri-level home that's about 2,600 square feet that needs some renovation: All 3.5 bathrooms need to be gutted and redone. Old tile torn out, new tile or hardwood floor put in, some walls closed off or opened up. New baseboards and cosmetic updates. Some minor kitchen work or a bigger kitchen overhaul depending on budget. Really excited to tour it for a second time tomorrow with a contractor we've used before. Needs circuit breaker brought up to code and possible new electric wiring throughout.

    We weren't considering a significant rehab when we started our search, but it's really fun to think about customizing the hell out of a house that we want to be in for 20, 25, 30 years and still getting the whole thing for about the same price as a move-in ready home. We renovated our condo in the last 4-6 years, and lived through it for several months. We'd have to live somewhere else during a project like this, but it's super exciting.

    • Sounds like a lot of work, how long for it to be completed?eryx
    • Aweet! If you have the means to pull this off, go for it!monospaced
    • congrats, sounds greatIRNlun6
    • We have no idea yet. They are selling it for $50K more than they should be. It's not move in ready, unless you're cool with a poorly kept up house.mg33
    • It's fun brainstorming it though. Actually hoping that it does need all new wiring, so I can have stuff properly set up for music equipment, Internet, etc.mg33
    • It's currently a 3 bedroom place; we need a guest room and there's a dining room that can easily be converted to a bedroom, beside a bathroom.mg33
    • Having studied architecture for a bit in college, it's a blast to think through all of this.mg33
    • Congrats, that must be one of the coolest personal projects one can wish for.Maaku
    • ^ Thanks! It definitely is. We've got one child who just turned 17 months old today, and hope to have another one eventually.mg33
    • So the thought of settling down and having the best place we can is lots of fun.mg33
    • And, selfishly, as a musician I've been dying for a space to myself for amps, guitars, recording gear, etc. Has room for all that, and would work tomg33
    • get the room properly soundproofed, basically a nice den / music space for instruments, my records, whiskey, all that stuff.mg33
    • congrats, be careful to budget out. old homes can surprise you in the renovation.yurimon

    I met a random woman on a red-eye to Chicago and we ended up engaging in four hours replete with cuddle, massage, half-sleep and sexual tension. It was amazing. She was game for more, but alas I'm married.

    On my flight back. They guy next me got kicked off plane for being drunk and brushing his hands on a flight attendant's ass. I told him that at least he'll have a good story. He replied, "It's not a good story!! I have to get to work tomorrow!"I suppose he's right.
