45 MINUTES TILL IM OFF FOR THE WEEKEND I CANT WAIT

Hi Guys: A quick hello and check-in before I'm off to Orlando on Sun. Can't wait. Need a vacatin so bad!!!!! Found a pet-friendly condo so we're bringing the dog. We have a labradoodle named Chauncey who we rescued a few years back. He gets so upset when we leave him so we decided this year to take him. Hope it works out. I heard Magic Kingdom, Unversal, etc. all have kennels for the day for about $15. They get cuddle and ice cream time, can you believe it? Well, I'll let you know how it went when I return. Love to all, Barbara

"pe-shi-ole's" -
-they lived on my block on 32nd street between 4th and 5th ave.

...they were called dat because anthony, and even peter, (his son) and prob some family members before, were all fishermen who fished off the boats, then sold them to the public.

i was actually good friends with marie linda minafo, her sisters, and theresa, (anthony's daughter, may she RIP)

they lived both across the street from me, and down the block from me on 32nd st, in fact, marie linda just facebooked me. i can't wait to talk to her!
wow!

i didn't know u knew them - small world!

Festina, I wrote back the other day but I guess it didn't go through. Anyway, I mentioned this site to Maria Linda, thought she would enjoy reading the posts. Yeah, my mom talks about the "pe-shi-ole" family all the time, a lot of childhood memories in Park Slope.

Catch ya later!!

festina,is right. i just didnt know how to spell it in italian PESHIOLES???
isnt it funny how we knew people by nicknames and never know them by their real names growing up. now days there are no nicknames,every ones called by their proper birth names. their no pee wees blackys, whiteys, shortys,chubbys.mickys.ect. its a long way from the good old days, and the way we grew up. but i am one who feels very lucky to grow up that way!!!..........jeanette

its funny my uncle walked around
with the nickname moon man
cause of his coat and boots he had 1 yr...

Smelly Joke of the Day!

I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me.

Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

Morning All... Have a Wonderful Day!

Have a great vacation Jim....

Terry & Patsy - Glad you guys will be home today! Happy to hear you had fun on your vacations. have not been on much in the last week (But I did post some jokes to give everyone a little laugh)... lol

Stacey is home now... Thank God! Thanks for the prayers!

Sorry I was not able to meet you Patsy, but all of us cousins will get together at Johnny's house when I get up north. My love to all....

Wow! That picture was big... Woops!!!
