Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

OK, in doing my morning sweepstakes, I came across this one where you can win a trip to New York and a Colonoscopy, lol. I swear. It is at www.cbscares.tv

janet......don't get "behind" in your sweeps......lol

LOL, I entered it anyway. At first, I thought it was a joke, but it's not !!!

They definitely don't want you to have a great time in NY since you have to fast the 24 hours before, and then afterwards, you are full of gas. This is what I heard, lol.

I am sure that the hotel they are putting you up at is thrilled about having a gas filled lodger, he he he.

Hopefully there is only one winner !!

I'll do it just for the trip !

thats funny.....i have one of those test in 2 weeks......you have to drink gatorade mix with some other stuff...did it once before...that makes it worst because you know what your in for the second time around!

yea...but could you win the trip and not take the test

.......think spring......these trees are beautiful,but make such a mess when the flowers fall off.....but they do look pretty

[b].........no meat today......busted,now you can't say "i forgot"[/b]

I scheduled the test 2 times so far and missed both, lol.

My next appointment is March 12th. Let's see if I actually get there !! Told my friend Margie to remind me.

Is that a Wisteria Tree?? No meat??? OK, Eggplant Parmasean.

I wonder if the churches stay open all day for ashes? I think they used to in Brooklyn.

Where are you Terry??

Terry & Patsy ??? Mia should be there in 20 minutes or so.

OMG JUST GOT UP SHE WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE. CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE MY MIA. IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK NOW. WOW.
YES DONT FORGET TO GET YOUR ASHES TODAY.
I HAVE CCD AT 3 45 TODAY. I TRULY AM EXHAUSTED. NEED ONE DAY JUST NOT TO DO ANYTHING. SEE YA GUYS LATER GOT TO GET READY FOR MY HUGS AND KISSES AND ALL THAT JAZZ. LOVE YA
I FORGOT TO SAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.....GOOD MORNING ALL IN BEAUTIFUL S.I.AS PINTO WOULD SAY. LOL

JANET,
U R TO FUNNY...KNOW THE ROUTINE ALREADY...WHY NOT U LISTEN TO ME EVERYDAY. LOL
WHER IS SUZIE ????

Have an easy and restful day Terry with Mia.

Why not U listen to me??? I read that with an Italian accent, lol.

I am supposed to be at church by 8am and I swear, I really need to ask God to help me get through this life, lol. Joe encouraged me when he said this was the day that he asked for help to quit smoking and it worked !!!! Soooooooooooo, I have no excuses.

Suzie isn't sleeping. I am sure she has to drive the grand child to school. Yeah for school buses here !!

Does anyone ever remember our grandparents ever having to do all the work we do?? I saw my grandmother once a week and my grandfather every few weeks. The role of the grandparent has certainly changed.

NO BECAUSE OUR PARENTS DID NOT WORK OR AT LEAST MOST OF OUR MOMS. WE DID NOT WANT AND HAVE EVERYTHING THESE KIDS WANT AT A YOUNG AGE.
YES TRY FOR LENT TO GIVE UP SMOKING AND IT WIL WORK. LISTEN I STILL WANT TO LIGHT UP BUT I DONG.

OUR PARENTS NEVER WENT OUT, MAYBE A WEDDING OR SOMETHING. WE JUST WOULD VISIT GRANDPARENTS NOT STAY WITH THEM EVERYDAY.

GOOD MORNING TERRY......SO GLAD YOU AND MIKE ARE BACK SAFE AND SOUND......
.....BUT YOUR RIGHT....MOM WAS ALWAYS HOME......DAD ALWAYS AT WORK.....WE DIDN'T NEED MUCH TO BE HAPPY......MY DAD WORKED SO HARD TO SEND ME ,MY BROTHER AND SISTER TO CATHOLIC SCHOOLS....PAIDED TUITION AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.....LIKE ALL THE PARENTS IN THE OLD HOOD TRIED TO DO.......AND WE WERE ALL SO HAPPY .......
......I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PEOPLE HAD WHAT I HAD......ALL MY UNCLES AND AUNTS AND COUSINS AND GRANDPARENTS LIVED IN A 5 BLOCK RADIUS OF WHERE I GREW UP........THERE WERE ONLY 3 AUNTS AND UNCLES THAT WERE OUTSIDE OF THE RING.....AND THEY WEREN'T TO FAR AWAY

Yes, I didn't think of it that way. My mother went to work when we were in HS.

JANET....EGGPLANT PARM.......NOW YOUR TALKING MY LANGUAGE
.........FOOD.......
