How the heck any human can devolop a tolarance to that much salt I have no idea.

Kids who are teens no are going to end up needing Quadruple bypass by age 40.
Parents should be thrown in jail & places should be banned for serving poison.

I make my own pizza, the trick is to get some slate roofing slabs, do a good wash and rub with olive oil and cornmeal. Put them in the oven at 500 and to season them, open you windows when they they smoke there done. Then let cool and scrap them off.
Do not use "pizza sauce" "pizza crust" sold in stores us Pope tomato pure with a little oregano. use a little olive oil and suger to make the dough.

Slide the pizza's into the oven tiles on a piece of cardboard sprinkled with cornmeal.
I make a dozen 12 inch at a time on plates. I then put in the freezer 10 minute still "stiff" then wrap and stack like pancakes in the freezer.
I even make my own wine, grappa and brandy.
For what these hoggish stuffys spend 1 year eating out around here "Manhasset" I could buy a classic car..... and I HAVE TWO !
A 71 Vette and 72 Cuda that go up in value.
You wont find me driving a Beamer holding Treo to my ear, whoever does has permission to bat me !

Cool! I think I'll try that out, thanks for the tip.

TGIF? My digestive system won't handle that kind of deep fried, gooky sauce concoction anymore. What they do is: a) throw something they got frozen from TGIF, Central Inc. in the deep fryer, b) microwave a portion of sauce from the same source, that they poured out of a bucket, c) combine the two, add parsley, throw it on a plate, and finally, d) bring it to you and call it food. It might pass...if you're a yuppie who's had about 6 drinks.

It manages to be unhealthy, and it's not even good! If I'm going to line my coronary arteries with atherosclerotic plaque, the saturated fat and cholesterol are gonna be from a good sirloin and maybe some imported cheese, not that kind of garbage.

At least Lauraine Murphy's had authentic food, though it was a bit dull.

Don't let these rubes get you down. Do what you feel is right. You don't need justification from strangers.

Thankfully, we've recieved some postive comments about it. Unfortunately, the prices in Bayside, Queens is overpriced and you get little property. This was one of the biggest reasons why we decided to move to LI. The drawback is the taxes are much higher. Its like rent, it keeps going up and there's nothing you can do about it.

I was born and raised in Bayside, moved to Whitestone when I got married. The area is not the same. Taxes are going up, you pay more for car/home insurance, and I wouldn't send my kids to the public schools. For me, with 2 kids, I'll be ahead of the game in Garden City. I think you made a good move, have faith.

May I ask where you moved to?

Hi, GCGUY

My friend lived in Whitestone and she agrees with you about the public schools there. I believe its district 25. I love the school my children attended in Bayside. District 26 is a high performing school and the classes are small. Most of the teachers are from Nassau county and care a lot about the kids. We're moving to East Setauket soon and I hope we did the right thing. Garden city is beautiful and the schools are excellent, great choice

Cardozo? I was zoned for it, but I got into Stuy and went there instead.

Go Peglegs!

" Giant plank? I sold the plank, along with the anchor and three cases of rum. ARGGGGGGGG,Ahoy!"


Well, now you've really established a theme to this discussion, the price of houses on long Island is pure piracy!!! LOL!!
Now that I think of it, my real estate agents name is Jack Sparrow...

Lift a pint, and lets sing ..." My mortage payments are as high as the sail, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.. if I dont pay, im going to jail, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum !..."

Oddly enough, a coworker just purchased a house, $550K. I have one friend who lives in Manhattan and owns a house upstate. I have another childhood friend who lives in Manhattan and owns an $800K house on the east end. I also have a number of friends who own their own homes in Sayville. My friend's cousin paid cash for his house. Last week someone parked their new Bentley in front of my building. Shiver me timbers! I bet you want some of that rum now.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
