Hi Everyone:

Got a few minutes here at work:

Anthony- thanks for the welcome. I see you have a few years on me. Did you know Al Sacco my best friend Pete's older brother? He's around 63 now.
Lived on 20th 5-6 till 1960?

Hi Fred-fellow newbie-you sound like a good cook-maybe we'll swap some recipes. For an "OLD MICK" I'm a pretty decent cook -plus I grow my own veggies-JERSEY TOMATOESSS. That's the only reason I moved out of Brooklyn. Farmer Jim that's me.

OK for everyone who has helped with this pasting problem I thank you. I think it's a problem with the browser. I can't get the paste function to work when the pop up box appears. I'm working on it. Any suggestions?

Boss is still out so I will be in and out this PM

Jim

Hello Jim,
Thank you for the compliment but I can't take the credit believe me my Wife is the cook here and believe me after 44 years of marriage I swear to it she is a 10

well I got a picture up there but now it's to small
Oh boy !!!!!!!

Fred- Me and the wife are totally incompatible in the kitchen-like fire and water. She's Italian-cooking is inborn, me I had to learn and still am. She cooks because she has to- I cook because I want to.

Suzie: Naughty-Naughty it's striped bass not stripped a-- that are biting.
Yes I'm an OLD Fisherman too.

I'm closing shop early today and will be back on later trying to solve my cut & paste problem.

Jim

Fred:

Make in 100x100 pixels

Jim

All right I believe I have done it, this was not an easy task to find out how to post a picture, but once you figured it out it really was not to bad at all /

Hi Fred, So nice to finally SEE you......You mentioned that you met your wife at St. Rocco's, did you know anyone else on 27th street?

Hi Judy, Fred & Jim... Just peeking in to say hello...

Fred - I love the greeting you have "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting: ~~~~ HOLY SHIT, WHAT A RIDE ~~~~~" LOL.....

will peek back in later folks...

ME TOO FRED I LOVE YOUR QUOTE ABOUT LIFE'S JOURNEY HOLY SHIT THAT IS THE WAY I AM GOING OUT......LOL

Cod Two Ways- Oreginata(no spell check for this) and Cod Fried in Potato Flakes, Homemade Cole Slaw(good simple recipe) and for desert -homemade carrot-date-walnut bread(first try-we'll see) 8-[

Funny I go to the store to buy the stuff for the bread and I ask the kid there(16-17) do you have nuts? He says Yes. then I ask him do you have dates. He says IF I HAVE NUTS - I HAVE DATES) :scratch:

Sorry Geri.

I'm home early from work and I'm gonna figure out this cut and paste problem-so in addition to driving you nuts with these stupid jokes I can
blow you minds with my pictures.

Gotta check on the bread.

Be back
