How can I purchase a LUXURY condominium in Rio de Janeiro? I've been traveling for several years to Rio de Janeiro and want to invest in a luxury condominium (around US$400,000) to use during my trips there and rent while I'm away. While I've looked all over the internet, I've found no companies that offer a true "luxury" condo for sale (imagine a property similar to a suite at a Ritz Carlton - plasma flatscreen TVs, marble flooring, beautiful bathrooms, etc.). It seems that "luxury" in Rio means a 13 inch Samsung TV and a tiled bathroom from the 1980s. Also, I'm looking for a credible firm (ideally one that owns multiple properties, rather than a single unit for sale) that offers title insurance. Any ideas on the best company to use to buy a luxury condominium in Ipanema or Copacabana?

Bathroom etiquette: The handicapped stall? When does a healthy human use the handicapped stall in public restrooms? Option 1: The stall is like the handicapped parking space. It is FOR THEM only. They deserve the convenience of walking into a bathroom, no matter how crowded or how crappy or cramped the other stalls are, and going right away. Option 2: We all should all have the chance to use the spacious luxury stall if its free. Its exists to accommodate the disabled, but if its free we shouldn't have to suffer on lines and in small cramped stalls leaving the one-room palace vacant for when they happen to come in. The handicapped parking spaces are necessary because some have trouble walking. But certainly they can wait for a stall like anyone else? I'm a nice person but i have to go option 2. If there was a stall for irritable bowl syndrome or chronic diarrhea, then i'd stay away because waiting is impossible. Also, that stall would be pretty freaking nasty! But the handicapped stall is free game in my mind!

How to tactfully ask in-laws (husband and wife) not to dirty two bedrooms and two bathrooms when they visit? When we built our home two years ago, we decided the best guest bedroom for my mother-in-law and father-in-law would be the one that had its own bath. When they visited last, she decided she liked the bathroom down the hall better and then slept in another bedroom off and on as well. I was a little perturbed with this as I thought it was rather rude to mess up two bathrooms and two bedrooms for just two people in someone's home! I would NEVER dream of venturing out in someone else's home and just decide to stay where I wanted to! Am I wrong in thinking this way? What would she do if we lived in a two bedroom home? She would not have this luxury. They are coming down for a visit next week and I am trying to find a tactful way to dissuade this from happening again this year.

Luxury Apartments in Nashville Tennessee? I've recently accepted a job in Nashville and have been searching online for an upscale apartment community with no luck. Everything that I can find is basic (small units, ceramic countertops, standard bathrooms, and no tile). I'm looking for the opposite (large spacious floorplans, tile, garden tubs, granite, etc). I'm not concerned about pricing as long as they provide what i'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Jake Petey... Appreciate that, but while the Whitewalls does offer substantial upgrades, it isn't gated. I don't think i'd feel comfortable leaving the GT-R parked in an unsecured area.

Sugar free chocolate and upset stomach?? This is a bit gross . Has anyone suffered an upset stomach after eating sugar free chocolate. I bought some sugar free Thornton's Choccys as a luxury treat on my diet and ate them watching tv last night. I woke up with horrendous gas pains and bloating at about 3am, I barely made it to the en-suite bathroom before all hell broke loose, VERY loose! so embarrassing as I woke my husband. Could this be the chocolate or a stomach bug? Anyone else suffered?

Do your public restrooms have toilet seat covers? I went to St. Louis, Missouri. Nowhere could I find public toilet seat covers - not at my corporate headquarters, not in the airport, not even at the Dave & Busters. In CA, they are pretty standard, from the gas station bathroom up through some luxury hotels. And they are standard in Denver, in Vegas, and in Reno... so: - Where do you live (State and metro area only please, no specifics) - Does your area provide toilet seat covers in public restrooms?

Okay. How about one more joke before quiting for the day? Three women – one German, one Japanese and a pretty Southern Belle – were sitting naked in the sauna of a luxury hotel. The German and the Japanese women were ignoring the Southern Belle, obviously jealous of her beauty and conscious of their own frumpiness. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The stocky German woman pressed here forearm and the beeping stopped. The Southern Belle looked at her questioningly so the German woman said to her smugly, “That was my pager. I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.” A few minutes later, a phone rang. The haughty Japanese woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished her call, she looked at the Southern Belle and pompously explained, “That was my cell phone. I have a microchip in my hand.” At that, the Southern Belle stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. When she returned, she had a piece of toilet paper trailing from her behind. “Will you look at that,” she said mockingly. “I’m getting a FAX!”

Roomate Drama!? Ok, so my husband and I have a roomate, a girl we have lived with since being Freshman in college, unmarried, and without child(4 years). We all graduate next year and live in a REALLY expensive area in which you either live in the ghetto or live in a really nice luxury area. In order for all of us to avoid living in student housing, which was nasty, we all moved into an apartment in the nice area of town. My husband and I have 2 out of three bedrooms(1 for our son and 1 for us) and our roomate has the master bedroom. We pay 2/3rds of the rent since we have two bedrooms. Well, we are moving into another apartment because we no longer qualify to live in the one we live in now. The apartment is HUMUNGOUS, but it's only a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom-about 1400 sq ft. So, it'll be my husband, our son, and me in one room, and my roomate in other. Both rooms and bathrooms are masters and are the same size. My roomate wants my husband and I to pay $100 more a month than she does because... she says my husband makes more money than she does. We are all fulltime students. She makes only about 6.75 an hour because she wants to work with her boyfriend. Regardless, my husband and I have about 20,000 in medical bills and we take care of ourselves with no outside help. Our roomates mother gives her 400/month. Should we pay more because my husband makes more when we will have the same amount of living space as she does?

How can I carry on a dream I had last night? I had wonderful dream last night. I was standing in a massive white bathroom there was luxury everywhere I looked. As I looked straight ahead I saw a huge circular shower cubicle. Anyway Kylie Minogue was standing inside with no clothes on whatsoever. She seemed to be filming a music video as there were lots of people filming her. Anyway the shower was really steamy and it just looked so intense in there. She gestured with her little finger for me to come in and get her! The people filming said I would have to wait until they had finished doing the video. Then I woke up :( It was turning out to be one of the best dreams ever so how do I go back to it? Just thinking about the dream is getting me really h0rny and excited lol

Tourist infrastructure is so much better in Greece now with free sauna in every house!? I just went to my bathroom, whose wall is facing outside, and especially west, where the sun was all afternoon. Frankly, the wall was emitting warmth, I can't describe how hot it was. The shampoo etc. where all warm, like the soup we eat in winter or sth. Is this luxury or what? Too bad tomorrow the... spa will stop!

Read part of a story, and tell me what you think.? Be HONEST.. compliments are really not any help Please note that this is not the beginning, but the second small chunk. Search for my other questions if you want to read the beginning. It's not crucial. Rose hung up without properly saying goodbye. It was something the sisters had dispensed with once they moved away from the house, Virginia to Cornell and Beth to… well, away. Away meant as far from stuffy old Boston as she could get. A stint abroad, several waitressing jobs which paid abysmally, a (very) brief stay in a commune, and one quite serious boyfriend with whom she had lived in an apartment which had seemed romantically Spartan at first and turned out to be just plain old small and dirty. And now, she lived in California. That was what her parents told their friends when anyone asked what Rose did for a living. “She lives in California now,” her parents would say, and everyone would exchange knowing looks. Rose didn’t care in the least, which was what distinguished her from Virginia and their two brothers. Rose was in fact happier than she’d ever been, working at a Waldorf day-care center and even occasionally seeling a painting or two. She was paying the bills with even a little to spare for luxuries like shampoo and fresh fruit. Rose looked at the clock the floor beside her bed, did some quick math and decided to call her brother Jim in New York. His full name was James Joyce Llewellyn, and their second brother’s name was Thomas Jefferson Llewellyn. The three oldest were all named after various people the Llewellyn’s admired, and then there was Rose, the baby. Just plain old Rose. The child of her parents’ middle age and diminished brain cells. Virginia, the oldest, had always introduced herself first, and someone, thinking themselves clever, would invariably turn to Rose and say, “and I suppose you’re Georgia,” Rose usually said, no, she was New Jersey. Sometimes she was Delaware. It depended on the day. She got up and put on a pot of coffee, as there was little chance she was going back to sleep. Virginia had awakened her, but also given her much too much to think about to sleep. She punched in Jim’s number and waited as a phone two and half thousand miles away rang. Jim answered, groggy from sleep. “What are you doing home?” demanded Rose as soon as he picked up, again skipping niceties. “What?” Jim said foggily. “I said what are you doing home? Don’t you have classes? It’s a Wednesday.” “Thanks for the update.” “You didn’t answer my question. You sound like shit. You sound hungover.” “I do not. I mean I am not. I mean I am, but I don’t sound it. Whatever. It’s what, four-thirty out there? Who died?” “Nobody, but I’ve got something to spill.” “Well, okay. Dish.” “Dad’s got a new girlfriend, a young one, young enough to be our sister- that’s verbatim from Ginny- and he’s bringing her to the wedding.” “Well, good for him, the old dog. Why is this waking-someone-out-of-a-sound-sleep news?” “You just don’t get it, do you?” “Get what?” “He’s bringing her to the wedding. To meet all of us, and mom, and all our relatives, and all of Ginny and David’s friends. He’s bringing her to the wedding, Jim.” “Yeah. And?” “God, you are such a man. Don’t you have any loyalty for Mom?” “Well, I guess, but it’s not like they’re getting back together. Irreconcilable differences.” “Yeah, but she’s like nineteen,” “You’re exaggerating. You think that the wedding is going to be an opportunity for you to pull some kind of a Parent Trap maneuver, but trust me, it’s not. They can’t stand each other. End of story.” “I wouldn’t care if…” Rose trailed off. “You’d care no matter what. I’m not saying I don’t care too, but he’s fifty-seven years old. We can’t tell him what to do.” “Why do you have to be so goddamn rational? Why can’t you just be on my side, on mom’s side?” “I’m not on anybody’s side, I just-“ Rose dropped the phone back onto the cradle with a clatter of plastic and metal. Jim tossed the portable phone across the bedspread and scowled fiercely at the sunlight streaming through his uncurtained windows. Stacks of books glowered at him disapprovingly from the dresser. He pushed a hand through his dark hair and pulled his Fordham sweatshirt on over his head, and shoved his glasses up over his nose. He looked at his watch, and decided there was no way he was making it to Contract Law at nine-thirty. Instead he dialed his brother Tom’s number in Boston. Tom was having the worst morning of all the Llewellyn siblings. He’d awoken to find the half of the bed which belonging to his girlfriend Claire cool and unrumpled. Alarmed, he’d run to the bathroom to find that her toothbrush was gone, and linen closet emptied of exactly half their towels. She’d taken the coffee, the peanut butter, two apples, a banana, the Saltines, and half the loaf of bread.. She’d been nothing if not democratic in the way she’d wrecked everything, thought Tom as he absorbed the state of the apartment which they’d shared until four-thirty six that morning. And so Tom was sitting dazedly at the kitchen table, staring at nothing in a particular, when the phone rang “Guess what?” demanded Jim Tom sighed. “What?” “Dad’s having a full-out, clichéd midlife crisis, complete with a nubile Playmate, who is reportedly young enough to be our sister, ” “Well, that’s just Fantastic, isn’t it.” “You’re sunny this morning. What’s the matter?” “Nothing. Everything is perfect.” “How’s your lovely, leggy graduate student doing?” “Claire is fine. Claire is perfect.” “Okay. If you say so. I hear that Dad’s bringing this new girl to the wedding, and believe me, Virginia and Rose are about ready to-“ “Look, I really have to go. I’m about an hour late,” “Well, so am I,” “Well, at least I’m not paying forty-five thousand a year to get drunk and over sleep.” “Don’t be so-“ “So what? Responsible?” “So uptight. So, anyway, I was wondering if maybe I could have your plus-one for the wedding. I’ve been seeing this girl for a couple months now, and I was just thinking that since-“ “No, Jim, I—“ He was going to say “I need it,” and remembered that he didn’t, not anymore. Instead, he hung up and got dressed for work. It is easy to forget, when one is upset, that other people cannot intuit your every thought, nor see the elephant which is occupying your headspace. And so it wasn’t until he was pulling out of the tight parking spot which he’d fought tooth and nail for that Tom realized he hadn’t said a word to his brother about what had happened with Claire. Umm.. emma J? this is not autobiographical.. I want to know what you think about it as a piece of writing.

Do you think this is good so far? sorry i did it twice oops!

Help!! Cheap&Clean$Nice Hotel in Rome!?!? I want to suprise my boyfriend for our 5th aniversary with a trip to Rome. I have already purchased the flight tickets, but now it seems that hotels are too expensive (we are staying 5 nights!!!)...Any suggestions??? (cheap means: up to 65 euros per night) I've looked in many web pages and there are little pensions without bathroom. Probably an aparthotel, somehting nice and not too expensive. I don't want luxury, but a clean and nice quiet room to sleep. I've read also that some cheap rooms are in "dangerous" zones... Anyhow, If you know any nice&clean&cheap hotel/pension please please tell me.... Thanks!

Hostel or B&B? I'm travelling alone. I checked hostel prices but single rooms with private bathroom are expensive (75$). And I don't like to share bathrooms or sleep with strangers. How bad are shared bathrooms? And aren't B&B cheaper in this case? Or should I rent a cheap appartment? I'm new to the concept of hostelling. I'm not expecting luxury treatment or anything, but I like cleaniness. Where? All over europe. France, Spain, Italy... <Lizmed> I am going to scandinavia, france, italy, spain. It's a long trip, 40 days.

Search for my other questions if you want to read the beginning. It's not crucial. Rose hung up without properly saying goodbye. It was something the sisters had dispensed with once they moved away from the house, Virginia to Cornell and Beth to… well, away. Away meant as far from stuffy old Boston as she could get. A stint abroad, several waitressing jobs which paid abysmally, a (very) brief stay in a commune, and one quite serious boyfriend with whom she had lived in an apartment which had seemed romantically Spartan at first and turned out to be just plain old small and dirty. And now, she lived in California. That was what her parents told their friends when anyone asked what Rose did for a living. “She lives in California now,” her parents would say, and everyone would exchange knowing looks. Rose didn’t care in the least, which was what distinguished her from Virginia and their two brothers. Rose was in fact happier than she’d ever been, working at a Waldorf day-care center and even occasionally seeling a painting or two. She was paying the bills with even a little to spare for luxuries like shampoo and fresh fruit. Rose looked at the clock the floor beside her bed, did some quick math and decided to call her brother Jim in New York. His full name was James Joyce Llewellyn, and their second brother’s name was Thomas Jefferson Llewellyn. The three oldest were all named after various people the Llewellyn’s admired, and then there was Rose, the baby. Just plain old Rose. The child of her parents’ middle age and diminished brain cells. Virginia, the oldest, had always introduced herself first, and someone, thinking themselves clever, would invariably turn to Rose and say, “and I suppose you’re Georgia,” Rose usually said, no, she was New Jersey. Sometimes she was Delaware. It depended on the day. She got up and put on a pot of coffee, as there was little chance she was going back to sleep. Virginia had awakened her, but also given her much too much to think about to sleep. She punched in Jim’s number and waited as a phone two and half thousand miles away rang. Jim answered, groggy from sleep. “What are you doing home?” demanded Rose as soon as he picked up, again skipping niceties. “What?” Jim said foggily. “I said what are you doing home? Don’t you have classes? It’s a Wednesday.” “Thanks for the update.” “You didn’t answer my question. You sound like ****. You sound hungover.” “I do not. I mean I am not. I mean I am, but I don’t sound it. Whatever. It’s what, four-thirty out there? Who died?” “Nobody, but I’ve got something to spill.” “Well, okay. Dish.” “Dad’s got a new girlfriend, a young one, young enough to be our sister- that’s verbatim from Ginny- and he’s bringing her to the wedding.” “Well, good for him, the old dog. Why is this waking-someone-out-of-a-sound-... news?” “You just don’t get it, do you?” “Get what?” “He’s bringing her to the wedding. To meet all of us, and mom, and all our relatives, and all of Ginny and David’s friends. He’s bringing her to the wedding, Jim.” “Yeah. And?” “God, you are such a man. Don’t you have any loyalty for Mom?” “Well, I guess, but it’s not like they’re getting back together. Irreconcilable differences.” “Yeah, but she’s like nineteen,” “You’re exaggerating. You think that the wedding is going to be an opportunity for you to pull some kind of a Parent Trap maneuver, but trust me, it’s not. They can’t stand each other. End of story.” “I wouldn’t care if…” Rose trailed off. “You’d care no matter what. I’m not saying I don’t care too, but he’s fifty-seven years old. We can’t tell him what to do.” “Why do you have to be so goddamn rational? Why can’t you just be on my side, on mom’s side?” “I’m not on anybody’s side, I just-“ Rose dropped the phone back onto the cradle with a clatter of plastic and metal. Jim tossed the portable phone across the bedspread and scowled fiercely at the sunlight streaming through his uncurtained windows. Stacks of books glowered at him disapprovingly from the dresser. He pushed a hand through his dark hair and pulled his Fordham sweatshirt on over his head, and shoved his glasses up over his nose. He looked at his watch, and decided there was no way he was making it to Contract Law at nine-thirty. Instead he dialed his brother Tom’s number in Boston. Tom was having the worst morning of all the Llewellyn siblings. He’d awoken to find the half of the bed which belonging to his girlfriend Claire cool and unrumpled. Alarmed, he’d run to the bathroom to find that her toothbrush was gone, and linen closet emptied of exactly half their towels. She’d taken the coffee, the peanut butter, two apples, a banana, the Saltines, and half the loaf of bread.. She’d been nothing if not democratic in the way she’d wrecked everything, thought Tom as he absorbed the state of the apartment which they’d shared until four-thirty six that morning. And so Tom was sitting dazedly at the kitchen table, staring at nothing in a particular, when the phone rang “Guess what?” demanded Jim Tom sighed. “What?” “Dad’s having a full-out, clichéd midlife crisis, complete with a nubile Playmate, who is reportedly young enough to be our sister, ” “Well, that’s just Fantastic, isn’t it.” “You’re sunny this morning. What’s the matter?” “Nothing. Everything is perfect.” “How’s your lovely, leggy graduate student doing?” “Claire is fine. Claire is perfect.” “Okay. If you say so. I hear that Dad’s bringing this new girl to the wedding, and believe me, Virginia and Rose are about ready to-“ “Look, I really have to go. I’m about an hour late,” “Well, so am I,” “Well, at least I’m not paying forty-five thousand a year to get drunk and over sleep.” “Don’t be so-“ “So what? Responsible?” “So uptight. So, anyway, I was wondering if maybe I could have your plus-one for the wedding. I’ve been seeing this girl for a couple months now, and I was just thinking that since-“ “No, Jim, I—“ He was going to say “I need it,” and remembered that he didn’t, not anymore. Instead, he hung up and got dressed for work. It is easy to forget, when one is upset, that other people cannot intuit your every thought, nor see the elephant which is occupying your headspace. And so it wasn’t until he was pulling out of the tight parking spot which he’d fought tooth and nail for that Tom realized he hadn’t said a word to his brother about what had happened with Claire

A question about daydreams - Queen Elizabeth II and BIDETS? It occurred to me one day, after having a little muse to myself whilst sitting on the bog having an excellent dump, whether or not the Queen - you know Elizabeth II not Brian May & what's left of the rock group, actually has a BIDET in the Royal bathroom or bathrooms, as she's got several residences hasn't she; being as she's one of the world's richest women and all? I mean she's 81 now & after a lifetime of frugality (that means she doesn't like to spend much on things - for those of you reading this on the Kindergarten Continent) she might've decided to spash out (please excuse the awful pun) on a bit of luxury in her old age. Using that hard, thin, disinfectant medicated toilet paper what's it called now http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/household-produc... ah yes IZAL thats it, the Royal buttocks must be pretty sore by now & so she might feel that after a lifetime's service to her country she's earnt the right to a little comfort - do you think this is the case? Or do you think, which I tend to feel is far more likely, she has again gone for the cheaper option and got some soft, quilted toilet paper in all her Royal bathrooms and in the Royal handbag or maybe also one round her topdog corgi's neck a bit like one of those St. Bernard rescue dogs with the whisky or whatever alcholic beverage it is they use, for when she's on one of her foreign trips (especially in France!) and makes sure her lady-in-waiting gets well and truely stuck in good and proper whence 'one' has finished 'one's' Royal ablution? What is your considered opinion on this sensitive and embarrassing, but nonetheless very important matter in our ageing monarch's personal domestic situation? Oh Dear! I've just thought of something! I wonder! Ageing? Do you think the Royal plumbing could be faulty? Perhaps maybe she's incontinent? Ummmmm!. I wonder how much that lady-in-waiting gets paid?
