Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

well i say good nite to all,
see ya in the morning.

Hi Jeanette ....its the summer ... I figured it would get quiet on here.
Everyone is out, the kids are out, vacation, the beach & the pools.
This site will start jumping again when it gets cooler out .....you watch
and see....

Hi Jerry and Warren if your reading

Joe ....hope all is good with you and the family....your Grandson is
so handsome ...I saw a pic of him on your daughters FB ...I think!

Hi Lyn ....its about time you showed up.....I can only imagine how
your house sounds with all the Grandkids there. But, we gotta love them!
and thank you for the sweet words.....love ya!

Patsy ....glad you had a good day out anyway. As far as my downstairs...its
coming along .....The guys came and put ceramic tile down in the kitchen.
Vinny bought the tiles, vanity & sink, lights, bathtub & toilet bowl ....now they
have to put it all in.......I cant wait for this to be finished. Mind you there was nothing wrong with the way it was before....Janelle had it really nice.
But, if it will keep Vinny busy home and with work ...Im not complaining.
One less thing to worry about!


Have a goodnight everyone.......see ya tomorrow!

good mornin everyone!

thanks for askin for me terry - dis past saturday was the opening of the restaurant and they only wanted a select few of the staff there to welcome it in, and i was fortunate enough to be included in it, and dats why i was there on saturday, but normally, like patsy said, i am off the weekends.

we celebrated it quietly with the chef making us a wonderful dinner. it really was very nice, and the food was great!
and yesterday, i just chilled, no paryting, lol. just rested alllllllll day!

did i tell u i went to sesame place with the kids dis past friday? it was so nice to go in the water in dat heat. then we got a free rainday pass because it rained for an hour straight. it worked out well, because we were basically finished with the days activities anyway. lol - so i gave the free ticket to the kids so they could go back and enjoy antoher day. was so cool.

tell mia elmo said hi!

glad u had a nice time yesterday patsy! i could just see u all hyped u at the game. "let's go met's!"
good for u!

Wow....it's amazing what two less kids can do to the laundry!!!! I can't believe how much less!!!!

JUST GOT THIS IN AN EMAIL THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE!!!!



A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult four
hour, surgical procedure A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my testicles black?'

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies 'I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.'

He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back
the covers.She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around.

Then, she takes a close look and says, 'There's nothing wrong with them, Sir !!'




The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says veryslowly, 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very
closely.......A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s - b a c k ?
