Put on your dancing shoes and come to the party.

Next Sunday, October 18, at Avalon, the first-ever, gay-oriented,
safer-sex music video will be premiering. 

The video stars those fabulous Hat Sisters and an assortment of Boston's
tastier MEN! Bring a condom and get $1 off at the door.

This is an Aids Action Committee event.

(I'm promoting this because I'm one of the dancers in the video,
and I want a good turn out for the premier. Purely self

Hope to see you there.

To be fair, I should have provided more details:

   o the Hawaiian vacation is:
      - for two people
      - at some hotel on (or presumably near) Waikati (sp?) beach
      - includes hotel and airfare
      - 6 days/7 nights, your choice when within a one-year period
     They didn't provide a cash value, claiming it varied seasonally.
   o the bracelet is nominally "10 Ct. Diamond and Sapphire", comes
     with a certificate (of some no doubt useless variety), and the
     marketeer on the phone claimed (heh) retail of $2100.  Given that's
     the price of a good half-carat diamond, hmm...

This doesn't change the basic points of Barry's article, however, which
is that they will almost certainly find some way to devalue the prize.

What are people's opinion about creating a newsgroup to discuss
WABC Talk Radio 77?

First of all, is there a group that exists today to discuss Talk Radio 77.
(Please don't say 'alt.fan.rush-limbaugh'.)

If no group exists, would it be a good idea to create one?

If yes, then should it be an 'ne' group or an 'ny' group?

The topics of conversation could range from:  where do they
find the unusual voices such as Lynn Samuels and Joy B. (I'm
not sure how to spell BAY-har),  Bob Grant's latest curse from
Naples, or the Curtis and Lisa show.

Hi,

He is extremely good ( unfortunately I have had too much
dental work too many times - comes of studying martial arts).
He is currently treating me for a broken bicuspid and doing
an excellent job.  I appreciate the way he outlines my
options at each step prior to actually implementing anything.
His rates are reasonable and he is cost-conscious as well.
He was recommended to me by fellow workers, seems to be
a large contingent of employees here who use his servcies.
You may use my name for a recommendation.

The person who contacted me (I didn't take the offer) had a 30 minute video
of about a dozen pleased participants.  I couldn't see a product or

It must work for somebody....maybe it should, it the reverse of Regan's

   in rate of property damage and injury claims and had the worst

Doesn't make any sense at all.   It's a New York station, not
a New England station.  People in Boston who listen to talk radio
listen to local stations, WBZ and WRKO.

Maybe a "ne.radio" or "ne.broadcasting" group would make more sense.

He could have gone to the seminar that I posted info about in NE.HOUSING
a few weeks ago. Now, he can contact the MRHA, the Mass Rental Housing
Association. 

If he has a reading problem he should talk to a lawyer, send me mail
and I will send some names. Be careful, most lawyers do not know
squat about this area of law.

No. He cannot discriminate against families.

> moved in then had a child, or by a *prospective* tenant with children?

Yes! Any tenant at any time with a child that visits for more than 10
hours a month, (Or something like that), can hire a lead paint inspector
(costs $75 to $125, and there are plenty in the yellow pages) and have
an inspection done.

That inspection is automatically filed with the state and becomes
LEGAL EVIDENCE that is assumed to be correct until proven incorrect,
even in criminal trials.

The landlord then has 15 days to correct the violations or face
heavy health-code violation problems, not to mention lawsuits etc.
(Assuming children under 6 years of age).

Furthermore, he will probably find that his liability insurance specifically
says it will not cover lead paint liability.

One thing I have done is to get written estimates on the price of
deleading, and to get tenants to agree that they will inform me
in writing if they have children under 6, and that I agree to
spend the money to de-lead, and to relocate them, but of course
they have to be willing to actually move to the hotel or whatever,
and help pack up their stuff, and generally not cause a fuss over
the hassle involved.

Of course, all that depends on a credit-line to pay for the work.
All owners of real property should have a credit-line.

Another way, is to say, OK, I will de-lead if you have children, but
you must sign a 1 year lease, give 1'st and last months and security deposit,
and then you cannot move in until the de-leading is complete.

Having a lead-free apartment may be a good edge in the market!
