peek in later

ITS FUNNY TO ME , HOW "SORRY OLD ASS'S "PISSED SOME PEOPLE OFF....BUT, TELLING TERRY"YOU CAN PLAY THE SKIN FLUTE" WAS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE......JUST MY OPINION, BUT THEN,IF YOU ARE A "SORRY OLD ASS", THEN I WAS WRONG ,WRONG, BECAUSE, YOU'RE REALLY A BUNCH OF "SORRY OLD HORNY ASS"......JUST MY OPINION,AND NOT DIRECTED AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR......JUST THINK ABOUT IT THATS ALL......

.....DON'T BE QUICK TO JUDGE........AND SINGLE SOME PEOPLE OUT, WHILE YOU LAUGH AT OTHERS.....DOES ANY ONE KNOW FOR SURE IF TERRY WAS HURT BY THAT, BUT IS TOO GRACIOUS TO SAY ANYTHING....I DON'T THINK SO....SO , BEFORE YOU GO OFF ON ME.....LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT YOURSELFS........JUST BE HONEST WITH YOURSELFS.......THATS ALL

I REALLY LOST MY TASTE FOR THE BLOG....AND REALLY THINK THAT A LOT OF THIS RISQUÉ HUMOR ISN'T ALL THAT FUNNY.....BUT AGAIN, THAT IS ONLY MY OPINION

WELL, I SAID MY PIECE, AND HOPE YOU WOULD ALL BE SENSITIVE TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST A FEW.......ITS SUPPOSE TO BE "BROOKLYN BACK WHEN"......WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT....

..REMEMBER WESSONS.......OR WHITE CASTLE ON 92ND ST, WITH THE GIRLS ON ROLLER SKATES.....OR THE FIREWORKS AT CONEY ISLAND......REMEMBER EBBETTS FIELD, OR THE WORLDS FAIR, OR CONCERTS IN PROSPECT PARK.....

.....PLAYING THE SKIN FLUTE COULD BE FOUND ON ANY STREET CORNER OR SLEAZY BAR.......IT SHOULDN'T BE HERE.......AND, ONCE AGAIN ,THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION

JOEBROOXX,.. LAST NITE WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE DYNAMICS OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN ON IT KNEW IT WAS ALL IN FUN...

WE HAD THE RIGHT GROUP OF PEOPLE ON AT THE RIGHT TIME...TIMING IS SOMETIMES EVERYTHING... LOVE YA, SIS XX

FOR U UMBRIA

PATSY..I LOVE YOU, BUT DISAGREE.....THE SAME RULES SHOULD APPLY TO EVERYONE......AND ,IF SOMEONE DOESN'T GET THE JOKE....THEN DON'T GO SHOOT FROM THE HIP ,AND ASK FOR AN APOLOGY......BUT, IF SOMEONE SAID TO MY WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND...YOU CAN PLAY THE "SKIN FLUTE"....I WOULD HAVE KICKED THEIR FUCKING ASS IN.....

....I'M HAVE TO SAY HOW I FEEL.....SORRY, BUT I DON'T LET GO OF THINGS THAT EASIALLY....I REALLY BELIEVE IN WHAT I'M SAYING, AND CAN'T COMPROMISE HOW I FEEL

.....ESPECIALLY SAYING THAT TO A WOMEN WHO TEACHES CCD, AND GOES TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY, AND PRAYS FOR ALL OF US.....

.......NOT RIGHT AND IN BAD TASTE......
......YOU CAN JUSTIFY ALL YOU WANT.."IT WAS ONLY IN FUN, ONLY A JOKE"
........IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME......

JOEBROOXX, YOU ARE DEFINITELY ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION...JIM SAID IT ALL IN FUN...

IF ANYONE WAS OFFENDED LAST NITE, THEY NEVER SAID IT...WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH..
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY BE A LITTLE BITTER STILL FROM THE OTHER DAY...BUT LIKE I SAID..WE HAD THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF PEOPLE ON AND FUN WAS ALL WE HAD IN MIND XX

JOE - I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING........I DO AGREE WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT IS WHY SOMETIMES I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE GET SO OFFENDED, THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS SAID IN GENERAL AND SOME PEOPLE JUST TAKE IT PERSONALLY, FOR INSTANCE IF YOU SAID JUDY YOU ARE A BIG FAT M'FER. THEN I WOULD TAKE THAT PERSONALLY BECAUSE YOU DIRECTED IT TO ME, BUT I AM SURE THERE ARE SOME SONGS, STORIES OR EVEN JOKES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT FIND OFFENSIVE BUT ITS ALL IN FUN AND ALL GENERALLY SPEAKING , IF SOMEONE DON'T LIKE IT GO THE THE NEXT FUCKING PAGE..........BECAUSE IT WASN'T DIRECTED TOWARDS ANYONE......AND AS FAR AS MEMORIES, JOE I THINK WE WENT THROUGH MOST OF THE MEMORIES THAT OUR 50 YEAR OLD BRAINS CAN REMEMBER, SO RIGHT NOW IT IS JUST A SOCIAL PLACE WHERE WE ALL COME TO WHEN WE HAD A HARD DAY AND TELL STORES, JOKE AROUND AND DO WHATEVER COMES UP FOR THE DAY....AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO COMING ON JUST TO SAY HELLO AND SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING....PEOPLE WE HAVE TO LIGHTIN UP. IF THE SUBJECT OF THE NIGHT IS OFFENSIVE SOME DON'T APPROVE OF THEN LOG OFF AND WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY...,I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY..............................

THANX, JUDY:) VERY WELL PUT..XX

ANOTHER THING FOR SOME REASON, MAYBE BECAUSE WE MAY BE HAVING A BAD DAY, BUT WHEN WE DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING OR ARE OFFENDED EVERYONE SEEMS TO GET SO MAD, INSTEAD OF JUST TELLING THE OTHER PERSON, HEY THAT WASN'T VERY NICE AND I AM HURT BY THAT....MAYBE TERRY WAS HURT AND JUST DID NOT WANT TO START ANOTHER FIGHT...BUT I AM SURE IF SHE JUST TOLD JIM THAT HIS WORDS WERE OFFENSIVE, I AM SURE HE WOULD OF STOPPED.

Now I have to put my two cents in ....

What the F--K! Here we go again!.... I thought we were over this crap but I guess not! Last night was a hoot, just friends having fun with each other. Why get bent out of shape over a little Risqué fun.... Another thing, if Terry was upset over anything that was said about her, she would have spoken up for herself I am sure. I know we all have issues in our lives, but these negative reactions to your issues need to be left at the door and not brought onto this blog.... I know I am not on here as much as most of you are & I also know I have not made the bonds that most of you have... But I love coming on here when ever I can to relax with fellow Brooklynites & forget all the bullshit of life. We need to grow up & stop our shit...

Joe maybe you are right... Some of us have lost their taste for this blog & it's not me....

Now... THAT IS ONLY MY OPION.....

Another Thing... I am a Sorry Old HORNEY Ass & Proud of it....

I AGREE GERI AND YES YOU HAVE BONDED WITH MANY OF US....I FOR ONE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU AT THE REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK PATSY

Judy - I hate to react this way, because this is all bullshit... I love peace!!!I am so thrilled when I am on here because this is my get away. I have had company, grandkids & people at the house for over two months straight & could not wait to get back on here to relax, The day I came back on all this nonsense exploded & I was sad. I tried to call Joe to make things right... I hate when people don't get along....

I know Joe is going through a lot of stuff right now & I would be the first person to step up & try to help him out of whatever he is going through if I could, but lashing out at people especially you friends is really unacceptable. Joe we all care for you lots, but we need to get some sanity back on here... I am truly worried about you Joe...

Now that is only My Opion...,

OK HERE WE GO. I WAS NOT INSULTED AND I ALSO LED EVERYONE ON. YES IT WAS NOT GOOD TASTE BUT WE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME.

BUT I DO AGREE WITH JOE ON ONE THING PEOPLE GETTING MAD ABOUT SORRY OLE ASSES BECAUSE HE REALLY DOES NOT KNOW ANYONES AGE SO PEOPLE TOOK IT TO HEART. I DO THINK SKIN FLUTE WAS WORSE BUT WE ALL WERE SAYING THINGS TO EACH OTHER. WE ALL WERE INVOLVED. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AND WE ALL NEEDED A GOOD LAUGH AFTER ALL THE BULLSHIT.

IF THIS KEEPS UP WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A BLOG.

KNOW U R HURT AND I AM DEFENDING U JOE BECAUSE IN MY HEART I THOUGHT U WERE FUNNY AND DID NOTHING WRONG...SOOAOO
EVERYONE GET OVER IT......I WAS JUST AS BAD AND IT WS NOT IN GOOD TASTE BUT I HAD A BALL AND I WAS LAUGHING.
ANNDDDD I WILLL SAY IT AGAIN JOE DID NOTHING WRONG THAT DAYIT ALL WAS MISUNDERSTOOD UNTIL U CURSED US OUT LOL
AS MIA USED TO SAY M'FER
