just checking in now.....i once worked in an apartment that belonged to olivier, where apparently he and kaye did some heavy lifting.
and speaking of heavy lifting....yes advil liqui-gels is the shit. granted, i have a physical job, and i cycle everywhere, but i am abt to turn 48 and i have been relying on ibuprofen (vitamin i) for years. however.....i do think it's important not to gripe too much/too often..do you really want to be one of those older persons who talk abt nothing else but their physical state? i'd rather talk abt kaye/olivier, satin gloves, and yo la tengo

Oh, Mo! That moment came right when I moved upstate from the city in 2000. I was sitting on a CoachUSA bus bound for Harriman from work in the city and my eyes could not focus on the print in the book I was trying to read! Not one of my finest moments. Also, there were no iPods so I couldn't even turn to music for solace prior to getting progressive lenses (which sounds SO much better than bifocals)!

Mo, your neighbor would rather have killed herself than deal with the psycho living upstairs from me in SI for several years. He didn't work, didn't keep any kind of regular hours but thought nothing of subjecting us to his 3 am babysitting for wide awake toddlers, domestic violence, and sex parties no matter what day of the week or hour of the night. I came within putting my hands around his pencil neck.we put up with him for 2 1/2 years. He did us a backhanded favor - we gave the apt. back to the bank and moved upstate. Your neighbor - what a lightweight.
