then I can't fall asleep on this hard floor now.

Riya:

* I agree with you---there is a lot of poverty---poor people---and poor neighborhoods in New York.

* The quality of life for the ordinary people suck---FL is waaaay better for ordinary folks.

* BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE TO NEW YORK.

* You said you recently paid us a visit riya.

* THANKS FOR VISITING.

* Now Riya! Did you see a Broadway show while you were in NY ? I saw Jersey Boys recently and have tickets to Motown the musical in February.

* Did you do any shopping at Bergdorf Goodman ?

* Did you visit any of our Museums ?

* How about the Bowery Ballroom---it's one of the best music spots in NYC---did you check it out ?

* What about our great restaurants ? How many did you check out ?

* SO WHAT DO YOU DO DURING YOUR VISIT TO NEW YORK RIYA ?

Rev

Been there done that! Did it all before.

I don't come back as a tourist to NY. I leave that to the extraordinary and sophisticated people

NEW york city is a dump

Snow, snow, go away. Stuck indoors for the next few days. Running out of ideas of things to do to keep busy.       

Run out and build a snowman....yu can call him Olaf!

ONLY BORING PEOPLE GET BORED.

Rev

* Good morning folks!

* It's freezing in the big apple.

* 8F/-13C

* Oh well! It's winter.

* By the way---down in Florida---it's 53F/12C

* ha ha ha ha---?That's freezing by Florida standards.

* Sunshine girl Riya won't be posting today----too cold for her.

Rev

Mitwah!

* Yuh wicked yuh know.

* That was a general comment the Rev made.

"ONLY BORING PEOPLE GET BORED."

* Not a response to the refined and worldly Ms Observer.

Rev

cant take much more of this deep freeze

* Check with Riya down in Florida.

* She says the house next to her is for sale.

* You and the first lady can be neighbors with Riya----you'll be enjoying Florida's 53F/12C weather today.

Rev

Um, hello

It's freezing right now, ok? We at 37 deg  

* Did you say it's 37F/3C ?

ha ha ha ha ha

* SWEET!

Rev

I cannot afford to live in Florida bai

* Stop lying on this bitterly cold Wednesday morning.

* Tell the truth.

* The wife says no way she will leave exciting Toronto----Mayor Ford and all his antics----for hurricane land---Florida.

Rev

um, for the longest while I haven't heard about people being attacked in the rural areas by any reptiles. You will be safe. Just saying

Oh! I just remembered....a woman got bax up by a bear recently

So you can add bears to your list

hey even master willie playing and hide and seek this morning

Amral's young son acting up again?   

Windchill this morning was about 25-30 below zero. Had to take on kid to school.

now my furnace is acting up, it comes on when it feels like and not when the thermostat calls it. Will get the guys to come and service it today hopefully. I am not messing with things that I know little of.

* Too much problems when you live in a house.

* You have to shovel snow---deal with the furnace---leaky roof---all kinds of shyt.

* I live in a condo---any problems---one of the guys in the building fixes it----no stress no worries no headache.

Rev

THURSDAY, Jan 23rd 2014----NYC TEMP report

* It's freezing----12F/-11C

Rev

* I live in NYC---there aren't any houses on the Island of Manhattan

* And if there were houses---I'd still hate shoveling snow and mowing the lawn--and fixing the furnace.

Rev

Good morning!

Rev, you can always pay someone to do those things

I got Manuel, Miguel and Pedro

ha ha ha ha

* So you employ illegal Mexicans to do the hard work, huh Riya ?

* You better not run for Governor of Florida----voters will find out you hired illegals.

Rev

No one said anything about them being illegals. See how you like to assume?

How about putting up with 35 below zero windchill temp? The public schools are all closed today.

Rev,

You are stereotyping. Not all Mexicans are illegals.

riya:

* Rev just engaging in a little playful and harmless teasing.

* I know you are not a hypersensitive or thin-skinned woman.

* I wont try that shyt with some women---that would get me in some serious hot water.hahaha

Rev

skelly:

* Is weh the rass you live--North pole ?

* But seriously, that is some seriously cold you got there in MN---stay warm.

Rev

Rev, we bin pun national news yestaday on CBS.

Its all good

I have a mix

Manuel and Miguel are my lawn guys. Pedro, a cubano, is my pool boy

* Well! Well! Well!

* Aren't you living the high life in the Sunshine state ?

* A lot of folks in my field have set up shop in Palm Beach----here's is a recent article:

http://www.businessinsider.com...es-palm-beach-2014-1

* In Florida you have no individual income tax---no estate tax---no capital gains tax---no state tax---you folks only pay Federal taxes.

* That article may be right---the Rev is a schmuck for paying all this NY state tax.

* And in return I get to freeze my balls off in the winter.

* By the way, I noticed you willingly mentioned the names of the pool boy and the lawn boys---I was tempted to ask you for the names of the other lucky guys who provide service to the daring and adventurous riya---but that, I figure, may be crossing the line.

Rev

Good! Because I don't kiss and tell

People can bash FL all they want, including it being hurricane prone, crazy old people , but it's certainly in my favor. My quality of life improved tenfold compared to my life in NY.

You all watch out for Rev's forthcoming book "Corentyne gal Riya now Florida royalty".  

* Temp in NYC on this lovely Friday morning: 13F/-11C

* Lemme check  Toronto: 7F/-14C

* Rev won't live in that icebox Toronto for free.

* Wait until Skeldon_Man reports the TEMP in Minnesota----NYC and Toronto will feel like a heat wave.

Rev

Hey riya:

* I believe you 100% regarding the 1000%(10X) improvement in your quality of life.

* Here is a reminder of your old hang out in NYC--Richmond Hill, Queens---is that TI in that photo hiding behind that tree ?

* Today you have in Florida acres of manicured lawn, an Olympic sized pool, and a chauffeured Bentley. That is quality of life, yes.hahahaha

* But seriously---quality of life is always determined by the quality of your thoughts---and definitely since you migrated to Florida----you have been thinking sweet, loving, relaxing, serene thoughts---back in NY it was mostly stressful thoughts----maybe you hated your job---hated the crowded subways---hated the neighborhood you lived in---hated the neighbors----that Jasmattie lady from Lusignan, East Coast----she was always jealous of the way you dressed for work.----NY was, indeed, stressful.

* ENJOY FLORIDA FOR LIFE RIYA.

Rev

* Well clearly you did not see Ri in a while.

* She traded up to the Bentley Mulsanne.

* She improved her QUALITY OF LIFE.

Rev
