My guess is you never had real NYC pizza then. (Not NY "style," whatever that is - and for sure you aint gonna find true NYC pizza in NC.) Pizza is one of those things like beer and bread - the recipes dont travel well from because of many geographical factors, the water being among the most...

In reality, anything not made in the NYC metro area. When I first got to Cbus, I was quite shocked at the things passing for "pizza." Of the chains, worst I can think of is Pizza Hut. They make great pizza if you love grease soaked crust, greasy cheese, and greasy sauce.

:( LJB - Never yet got to drive the GT2. Speaking to the gent who programed my CPU flash, he says catagorically that the GT2 RS is the best sportscar ever built. Sadly, he said it will be the swan song of the Mezger engine (the GT-1 block that all GT3s, GT2s, and Turbos have been based...

Even worse, that car was paid for by Lehman MBS bonus money! Muh ha ha ha ha ha!

LJB - And most Porsche purists would tell you that the straight line acceleration is not what they like best about their car. Even though I have 510 ponies under my right foot, I would also agree. The brakes are like anchors. I would say it corners on rails, but any 911 driver would tell you its...

Ive owned a 2004 911 Turbo for over six years now. Im probably jinxing myself, but I couldnt be happier with it. The performance was epic to begin with, but with a simple computer flash I went from 420 to 510 HP. If I could consistently get 93 octance fuel, it would have been 520 HP. All from a...

Seven Daughters of Eve. Absolutely facinating if you're interested in genealology (I am). Can get through it on one or two sittings if you're a quick reader.

From everything I have seen from social media in the last three years, I have never been more convinced that it is a net value subtract to society.

These folks are nuts. Unless one of them turns out to be right........ The idea of societal breakdown is so foreign to us that even considering it is almost an impossibilty. What I think people need to be aware of is society of today is SO much different than society of just 100 years ago...

Thx Crump. Thinking Hawaii. You are correct, she is from Colombia. Ergo, there is zero chance we go to Colombia for our honeymoon. Given your apprent knowledge of the situation, I prob dont have to explain why.

No, since she's South American, her first language is Spanish. To increase my odds, I asked in German.....:tongue2:

Gents - Just felt the need to follow-up. Went w a 1.28 carat, excellent cut, color D. I wanted as much sparkle as I could get so I focused on cut and color. V happy w it. Booked a room at the Benjamin this past weekend. Gen Mgr upgraded me to the top suite (two balconies overlooking NY -...

Lots of good stuff here gents. Thanks for the replies. Im pretty close to making my decision, and I took a lot from what was written here.

Yes, I am as well. Few things - 1 - Never rent anything you love. Never ever, ever. The renters WILL ruin it. Only a matter of time. 2 - Possession if often said to be 9/10ths of the law. That is totally false - its 99.9999999999% of the law. Getting money owed to you paid by force is...

LOL - save that part! Guilty as charged. No excuses. In fact, the most ballistic Ive ever seen her was when I told her I was CONSIDERING interviewing a Colombian woman who submitted a resume for one of my client svc reps. Needless to say, I backed off that one. But the stuff about having...

Gat - all I can tell you is what you write is diametrically opposed to what I see between her mother and father, as well as every cousin Ive ever met. I didnt want go down this road, but since we're here. She is Colombian - she was born there and moved here when she was 4. I cant tell you...

NJ - I do have a jeweler in NYC that I trust. A bunch of my friends have went to him, and that one of them has a corporate contract with him doesnt hurt my case. :D Where my incompetence lies was where to place the sliders in the interrelated scales of cost, carats, cut, and clarity. Also...

Engagement ring question Ok gents, I know I havent posted on this forum in quite a bit, but in any event I would like some opinions. NYB has finally decided to take the plunge and ask for my gf's hand. I just reserved a room in a fancy schamancy NY hotel and made a reservation at One If By...
