Anthony - This blog is not so exciting anymore because people like you don't come on often enough...but your still my best bud!!!!!!
Hi Patsy, Debbie, Warren, Anna, Donna and everyone else.
Have a great day
Hello All,
Good to see Anthony on here. Sorry he does not enjoy the blog anymore. If it is because of anything I said or did I would step aside because he is an original and he is from the neighborhood most of you grew up in. I was a late bloomer from 12th Street.
This afternoon I have to go to the Cardiology office to have a Holter Monitor put on my decrepit body. I will wear it for 24 hours. My Primary Physician wants to see if any of my symptoms are being caused by problems with the ticker. I also have to see a Doctor to have my Thyroid checked out January 3. The Thyroid is under suspicion since a blood test showed that it is over-active. Does it ever end? Oh yeah, I do not want to discuss how it could end...
Shopping done except for Carol's card, Deorating outside and inside done. In pretty good shape for Christmas. I have to wrap Carol's gifts yet and fill her stocking but that will be done over the weekend. Having Eight friends over tomorrow night for Coffee, Tea and cake & cookies.
HI WARREN..
I HOPE ALL WORKS OUT WITH YOUR HOLTER MONITOR.
PLEASE STAY HEALTHY, WE LOVE YOU!!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF COOKIES, CAKE, COFFEE TEA WITH FRIENDS.
SOUNDSLIKE 'OLD TIMES', & THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE
ARE BEST. HAVE FUN & HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. LOVE TO CAROL..
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS...........
Do you remember a show called the "Backwards Family"? Sometimes I think the whole country (especially Florida) is a part of that family. In one of today's papers an article stated that Florida now leads the nation in concealed weapon permits. ONE MILLION PEOPLE now have concealed weapon permits in Florida. In light of what just happened in Connecticut you would think that Florida would be trying to hide the fact that they lead the nation in that category. When I read of arrests for violent crimes here they usually show the record of the culprit. This is just an example. It is repeated almost every day. A 16 year old boy was indicted for killing a security guard with a gun to rob the security guard of his gun. One was not enough for him. Then they showed the 16 year olds record. He had been arrested 39 times since he was 10 and convicted 22 times. WHAT IS HE DOING ON THE STREET?. The Governor (who now nowbody voted for but he won two years ago) is bragging about a falling jail population. Well if all the felons are walking around free no wonder the jail population is diminished. I know I am in the minority but I think gun laws should be a tough as you can make them. I see no reason why people should get permits for automatic weapons like Uzi's etc:. What do you hunt with an automatic rifle that sprays bullets? Okay. I vented enough. Shut up Warren!!

4 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS............
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
WARREN, I AGREE. IT'S JUST AMAZES ME, HOW MANY
ILLEGAL GUNS ARE OUT THERE.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP FORWARD, & RIGHT THIS WRONG.
HI ANNA. HAVE FUN & HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & A
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY.
JUSTIN MUST BE SO EXCITED THAT SANTA IS COMING.
SO NICE WHEN THEY STILL BELIEVE.
ENJOY!!
EVERYONE.. HAVE A GREAT DAY & C U ALL, LATER.
Patsy, The problem is not just illegal guns. The ones in the Connecticiut disaster were legal! Why would they allow people to buy repeat fire Automatic assault weapons? They do!!! Here in Florida I think the only thing they can not buy is an Atomic Bomb! The whole system of Gun Control must be re-visited and changed. The NRA will lobby strong against that. They want armed people in the schools! What a reaction. The elected officials on a State and National level are afraid of their (NRA) votes in an election. I do not have a simple solution but then I am not an elected official. 
WARREN.WHAT A MESS!!! WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OFFENDING PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL FOR GUNS..WHAT A WORLD.
PRIORITIES ALL SCREWED UP!!!
I JUST WISH SOMEONE STEPS FORWARD WITH A GOOD & FINAL
SOLUTION TO THIS GUN SITUATION.
3 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS....
2 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.....
ONE DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS........
wow where is everyone????? I guess everyone is busy with all their Christmas preparations...
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wondeful New Year
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY & HEALTY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
ENJOY!!!
Christmas Eve already. It seemed so far off awhile back but here it is right on top of us. Merry Christmas to you all. That goes for Blog posters, administrators, and those who just follow along without postimg!
Christmas Eve was special in 12th Street Church. The memories flow. We had a cndlelight service which always contained a soprano singing "Oh Holy Night". Several different soloists sang it but none better Emma Brown who got married and became Emma Zymjewski (sp). There are a few people on this blog who know exactly who I am talking about.
So get ready for Church, get ready to rip open the presents and be sure to thank God for the birth of his son.

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDEFUL CHRISTMAS!!!
HOW QUICKLY THIS YEAR WENT!!
ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!
Hi all.....
Hope everyone's Christmas was great!!!
Looks like it's starting to snow out....wonder what this will bring us 
Tis the day after Christmas & all through the house, there is plenty of stirring but I hope not a mouse. The stockings are empty no longer stuffed with small gifts, St Nick has already been here so we are not watching for him.
Had a weird incident Christmas eve. We lost power and so did a good portion of Sun City Center. The electric company said 5000 homes were affected. We tried to go to Church but their power(Presbyterian) along with the Lutheren,Catholic,Methodist & Baptist Churches had no power. We drove to our church and had to come back. Even some of the Traffic Lights were out. Fortuneatly the County Police came and directed traffic until the power came back. It is the first time that I can remember in my long lifetime that I missed Church on Christmas Eve. We watched a great Christmas service on TV from the Mormon Tabernacle so I guess that should count.
Okay you slaves. It is back to work for you. We retired old goats can rest a few days since we went to the last scheduled Christmas party this afternoon. Planning a quiet New Years Eve (Not my wish) so I guess our celebrating is finished for this year. The only thing scheduled for next week is an appointment with an Endocrinologist and of course to the bank on pay day. 
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
HEY WARREN!!! THAT'S A BIG GATOR.

HI DEB!!! TALK TO YOU, SOON.
EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
Hello-sounds like everyone had a great Christmas..I went back to work yesterday but I'm taking the weekend off to use my gift cards..saw an inch of snow today (1st time this season) & may have some more overnight...sleeping in tomorrow, going to the mall & relax on Sunday..New Year's Day going to my GF's house for lunch & games..Warren-Yikes-is that what I have to watch out for when I move to Florida? LOL..I wish all of u a very Happy & Prosperous New Year...talk to us soon.......bye
That Gator lives in the pond across the street from our house. As long as he does not threaten people he will be left alone. It would be wise for people who have visitors with small children or pets to be very aware of his presence. Gators are a part of the Florida landscape. We co-habitat with them for the most part.
None of you have to be jealous of Florida weather right now. Cold, windy and rainy. It will be that way tomorrow also. The beginning of December was beautiful but for the last week or so it has been kind of crummy. When I go for my early morning walk (6:30am) I have to bundle up in my winter Giant jacket with the hood up, Giant wool cap and Giant gloves.
If anyone is planning on coming to Florida to warm up, bring sweaters and gloves & a scarf. Quite cold today. Not cool, COLD! Yesterday was rainy and cool today is sunny & cold.
If you are taking the subway in NY at all, please stay back from the edge of the platform until the train is in the station & the doors open. Too many strange people out there. 
FRIENDS, HAVE A SAFE & HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
Hello,
Wishing everyone a very Happy, Healthy New Year 2013!!!!!
Hi all.....
Have a happy, healthy and safe New Years!!
New Years eve was always special in our house when I was growing up. We could go anywhere we wanted before or after midnight but everyone in my family had to be home for a Midnight toast. Then we could go to neighbors etc:. My first sip of wine came on a New Years Eve while visiting "Ma & Pa" Brown's home. One year when I was real young my parents went around the corner to 13th St to visit my Aunt Ruth & Uncle Carl. While they were gone my Grandmother showed up. She sat at the kitchen table and poured herself a drink and started telling our dog Bosco that they had all deserted her on New Years Eve. We (my brothers & I) were sitting on the steps listening to her and cracking up. She was not used to drinking and every sip got her a little more melancholy. Then my parents and Aunt & Uncle showed up and the party really got going. We (my brothers & I) were shooed off to bed but I never forgot that scene after all these years. Happy New Year to all! 
Hi-just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year...Warren-love those stories you tell!! staying home, keeping warm & watching the party in Times Square..going down to 10 degrees tonight-again, I wish you all a Happy & Prosperous New Year...talk to u "next year"..........bye
Happy New Year to all. Stay well and healthy and don't drink and drive. See you all next year. Love to all.......
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
WARREN, LOVE THAT STORY!!
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A SAFE & HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!
