Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Yes, I think I could see a scam unfold as I write what I read. I don't know why it never crossed my mind.
So actually, I am talking to myself (typing to my self, lol) so that I can clearly see it unfold, lol. I will be pissed !!!! to say the least.

Who is Lorena?

Where are you Mil ??

Now I am getting nervous.
I called the bank and have to wait until after 8am to speak to someone else. The first person I spoke to didn't have any useful information.

Now I have a 1/2 page of talking to myself, lol.
Typing to myself.!! Wonder if that's the same, lol.

Hi Janet, I hope you didn't get scammed. Maybe something delayed him. When was he supposed to get there?

I am to contact him after I get the check. I didn't yet.

Morning Debbie

Guess I missed you. Will check back in a few minutes.

Good morning. Having coffee and about to start laundry. Don't worry I'm sure it will turn out okay. I got both of my tenants on craigslist and I didn't have any problems.

I guess we missed each other. Be back later.

Hi All! It's been a while since I posted & I have spent days trying to catch up on everything - it's next to impossible! I hope everyone had a great Christmas & a Good New Year. It has been a hectic few weeks for me with work & my daughter bought a house, so I've been doing my motherly duty with a mop & bucket!!

Happy Birthday to all who have had one recently.

To those facing an uncertain future with jobs, keep the faith

To Debbie - I'm sure your surgery will be a great success - you are in my prayers.

A special hello to Timmy Fox - hope you remember me from growing up on 7th avenue, hanging with Joann Magnavita & Terry Tufano & the club on 6th avenue. I will always remember your brother John - he was one of the gentlest people I ever had the good fortune to know.

Hi Loretta

Hi Janet - how are things in N.C.? Loved your advice about scammers, because I really don't know much about Craig's List. Just let the dog out in the back yard (& had a cigarette - I've cut down but can't seem to quit) & boy is it cold out there; even my dog Bella didn't want to stay out!

It is freezing here.

I can't quit either !! Chantix was NOT good. I have a cat named Bella and she is wild, lol.

Janet - Bella has really become a popular name. My daughter is a teacher & has a few kids with that name too. I got my Bella from North Shore Animal League when she was 5 months old - she really is a Bella - she's a boxer/pit bull mix & is a great dog.
I had a cat for almost 17 years, also from NS. Her name was Maryann - my son named her when he was 6 - I have no idea where he got the name from. Anyway, Maryann ruled the house & outlived the 2 other dogs that I had. She's been gone almost 2 years and I still miss her. What a gift from God our pets are!

WOW. My grandson found my Bella in the woods. I got her for my Bashi because our other cat Kiki died, I also have a pit bull boxer, Deliah, and a black lab mix with pit bull boxer, Luly. Her mother was the pit/boxer and was the best dog I ever had.

How is Joey? He was such a sweetie when he was young.

WOW is right! It sounds like you have a lot of property, that must be great. It's so sad that the pit has gotten such a bad rep - they are such wonderful dogs - the problem is with the morons who use them as a power symbol - you know, guys with little D--ks & big inferiority complexes.

Joe is good. He lives in N.C. too, in a town called Belle Arthur. He drives a cab, never married - he lives a very simple life. He has 2 dogs & just lost a cat he found years & years ago. I owe him a phone call & will let him know that you've asked about him.

Yes, tell him I said HELLO. I should look him up. He was smart not getting married, lol. I keep saying I will not get any other dogs because it's hard to lose them, but then I go from wanting a small dog to a big pit bull, lol. I said I was going back to being a cat person.

I am so cold, I want to put gloves on. It seems like the chill is just coming through the whole house. It's the cathedral ceiling. All the heat rises to the ceiling fast.

I see that Joey is past I 95, and may be about 4 hours or more away from me.

ooops, it's 5 1/2 hours away !!!!

Losing a pet is the worst. I had 2 I had to put down & one who died at home - I don't know which was worse. I swore I wouldn't get another one, but I really can't imagine not having a dog.

My heat is going full blast but it's still cold. I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee trying to keep warm - but I'll probably need to go out & have another cig to with it..what a vicious cycle.

Joseph is sorta near Greenville (I think). We have relatives there & that's how we all got to know NC.

Yes, can't get rid of the cold.

Chill I mean.
