problem child? ...hmmmm, there's usually my pic under that title. lol.
very nice to meet u Jim... and thanks for the compliment. i'll spare you the history.. where do u come from? r u a sloper too?

hi everyone - i've missed u all and thank you so much for all the emails - you made me feel so loved..xo

can't believe i just crawled out of bed - FYI... anti-inflamatory's and liquor just don't mix!

judy mom is actually feeling better on the new treatment, eating real good - she put on 12lbs and has been getting out a lot more than before. the results on the PET scan will determine whether or not "anything shrunk" - but as of now, we still don't know. and me? with the exception of knocking my knee out of whack from some hard core dancing with an awesome partner last week, i am just fine. believe me, it was worth it!
how 'bout u? ...and ur mom? how she doing?

franny thanks for the email - i love u.

sue and janet will see u on fb. have a great day!

geri the mood ring joke was great! you're too much!

ter always thanking u for the sunday candles - keep em coming, feel better with the knees - and wishing u a great time.

patsy congrats on toniann - what a trip!

deb i will be in brooklyn tomorrow on another bike run. hope to see u again. x


i just wanted to let everyone know i loved reading about all the old haunts in the neighborhood. did anybody mention "Charlie Brown's?" ...i was the sales girl who worked with David, terry's husband back in the day, in Lady Fair, probably sold all u girls your saturday night clothes and didn't even know it. lol.

...a big "hi" to everyone else on here. sending love and prayers to all! xo

I KNOW HE IS BACK HE HAD ME ON A ROLL LAST NIGHT AND THAT SMILE ON HIS FACE I CAN NOT LOOK AT WHEN I AM TYPING. LOL

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE

YOUR MENTAL FACILITIES SEEM TO BE IN ORDER

YOU HAVE FILLED IN MANY OF THE BLANKS ON 5TH AVE

FROM WHITE EAGLE TO DANIELS FLORISTS(I MISTAKINGLY CALLED
O'NEILS)

WHY DOES EVERYONE REMEMBER STAVENHAGEN PAWNSHOP
I HOCKED A TRUMPET THERE RIGHT BEFORE I WENT IN THE ARMY

I think I know him ....tall guy with dark hair ...he worked in Methodist ...and lived on 16st and 6th ave? Paul G....might know him!

MY FAVORITE FLORIST WAS MUNSONS ON 22ND STREET AND 5TH AVENU. ME MUNSON THE GENTLE GIANT. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONCE BEFORE. I REMEMBER GOING IN THE BACK TO PICK UP MY BIRTHDAY CORSAGE. HE HAD A WIFE THAT WAS A BIG LADY AND HE WAS VERY TALL OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT HE WAS CAUSE I WAS VERY SMALL.

ohhh shit Jim ....I bought it! Do you wanna buy it back??? $2500-

SUZIE U TALKING TO ME ABOUT JOE P
HE WAS FROM 6TH STREET ACROSS FROM METHODIST HOSPITAL. HE HAD 2 BROTHERS PATRICK THE BABY AROUND 48 NOW AND DAVID HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HIS 50'S

SUZIE,
WHY DID U ASK IF IT WAS THE MENISCUS (SPELL)
YES IT SHOWED VERY BAD ARTHRITIS

HE WANTED ME TO TAKE MUSCLE RELAXERS AND I A NOT I WILL TAKE ADVIL

Yes Terry .....but this guy lived on 6th ave ....between Prospect & 16st....Prysbicki...I think!

OH I KNOW THAT IS HIS COUSIN JACKIE I AM VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH JACKIE ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM IN AWHILE. I ALSO WORKED AT METHODIST WHEN HE WORKED THERE HE HAD A GREAT JOB RUNNING THE FOOD SERVICE DEPT. HE WAS A BIG SHOT THERE

Terry why did they operate on the knee?

JOEY AND JACKIE ARE FIRST COUSINS

OPERATED SUPPOSEDLY FOR THE MENISCUS BUT I DONT THINK I REALLY NEEDED IT AND HE MADE IT WORSE BY SCRAPING THE ARTHRITIS.
IF I TELL U THE PAIN I AM IN EVERYDAY U WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
I HAVE TO GO TO THE MALL LATER AND I CAN HARDLY WALK FROM THE PAIN

Yes thats him......check this out.....when I worked in the Bank on 9st ...he would come in with his scrubs and a stethoscope around his neck....plus he was tall dark and pretty goodlookin......so I used to take him off the line to do his work for years .....until one day I saw him here by me in Staten Ilsand ...and I asked him ....what kind of Doctor was he? He told me he works in the Cafetaria as a Dietician ....LOL


Slap to my head ....again!

(SMALL OF COURSE-OR ELSE)

FACE THE FURY OF THE SCISSOR LADY

Terry I would insist on seeing the pics showing the arthritus...to be certain ...that it isnt anything else.....or get a 3rd opinion...if you feel something is not right

HOWEVER REMEMBER
