Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Goodmorning Everyone ....Rise & Shine

Anthony ...that was very sweet what you said last night ....and
I wish I was still up when you did.
I think all the people on this Blog have something to do with
putting our problems aside and just laughing!
I cant take all the credit ...and you cracked me up when you
asked Warren to help you....LOL

Warren ....that is so true .....we dont know whats around the
corner for any one of us.
So, we must capture the moment right now!

I just always think of the negative 1st ...then enjoy the positive
So, Im going with the intention too.....if nothing crazy comes up!


:flower:


Franny & Geri ......hope your feeling a whole lot better today

Debbie ...thinking of you while you go for your sono...dont worry!

Rob & Danny ....thanks for bringing some extra excitement to this site

Helen ...have a good one today...are you taking the day off?
Thanks for the coffee

Festina thanks for the breakfast ....if you do post it today! Huggs!

See all of you lata!

Morning girls. I was enjoying a quiet cup of coffee....but that lasted for 5 min. Kati and Samanta are both up!!!! lol

Anthony, that was so sweet what you wrote to Suzie. I often wondered how I'd have gotten through those dreadful 6 weeks prior to my surgery and afterward without having you guys around!!!! This blog has become like 2nd nature to me. I can't get through the day without it!!!!!

Thanks Suzie. Hopefully the sono tech will tell me something, my dr. is on vacation tll next tuesday. She hasn't even called with the results of the other sono I took last week!!!! I think I need a new doctor.

JIM!!! GOOD MORNING..YOU ARE TOO MUCH...

OK TIME TO LAFF

Jim and Mary are in their 80's and Jim always wanted an expensive
pair of alligator shoes. Seeing them on sale one day, he purchased
them and went home, where he asked Mary, "So, do you notice anything
different about me?"

"What's different? It's the same shirt you wore yesterday and the
same pants. What's different?"

Frustrated, Jim went into the bathroom, undressed and came out
completely naked, wearing just the new shoes. Again, "So, Mary, do
you notice anything different?"

What's different, Jim? It's hanging down today. It was hanging down
yesterday and will be hanging down tomorrow."

Angrily Jim yells, "Do you know why it's hanging down? Cause it's
looking at my new shoes!!!!!"

Mary replies, "You should have bought a hat."

PS I HAVE MANY HATS

Morning Everyone!! How is everyone today? Happy Wednesday.

Jim - love your idea of a reunion for the non-reunioners. I'm in. (my social calendar happens to be empty - I can make it today!!)

Anthony - how sweet you are. Now, if we have a non-reunion reunion, Suzie may be able to come to that one.

Suzie - I hope you change your mind and show up on Saturday. You'll be missed. Like Anthony, I'm disappointed but look forward to meeting you somewhere, sometime.

Festina - funny you show a pix of pancakes - I'm dying for them!! On the food channel (I think Friday?) there was a throw-down w/Bobby Flay and someone from the les who makes THE best blueberry pancakes. Since then that's all I want. I haven't had them yet but will. Love pancakes - reminds me of my father - he made them every Sunday morning till the day he died :-) !

Well in 3 days we'll be together - can't wait. As for today, my boss has clients in so I'd better put on my roller-skates and get to work.

Have a great day.

"3" more days until we have the best time of our lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so glad Geri is home ... hope she's feeling alot better today ....Geri dont worry there aint nothing we cant handle....xoxo

Franny ....I hope for the Hospitals sake they sent you home last night ....cause I know you wont be a happy camper....lol xoxo

Karen ...I cant wait to meet you also ...thanks so much for helping put this
Reunion together with Terry ...also the others who pitched in Carol, Festina,
Mike and the other girl in the pic...possibly a Dritto relative!

ANTHONY ...WAKE UP !!!

Jim ....you have a great idea ....we should plan something .....maybe a Thanksgiving dinner at your house....LOL
No, really we should find somewhere ....where you pay directly to the place ....as you walk in .....and all meet up for dinner or a get together,
we could do a movie night ......back rows.....lol. Bowling......we could even hang out on the corner by a mailbox....and pretend to be cool.....like teens again!
We'll probably all get arrested .....LOL (Im just kidding about getting arrested)

Jim ....tell your wife about us ....break it to her easy .....say "Honey, there's a group of my friends Id like you to meet....230 of them" !!!!! LOL

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Well Happy Fall everyone.............can't believe it....

You guys are nuts.....last night I came on late and started to read...I did not know WTF was going on....who was joking, who is not coming, who is coming, who said what to who.....I was so confused I just feel right back to sleep...LOL LOL

Anthony - You are such a sweatheart.....see that you made Suzie feel so guilty, she is coming!!!!!! HOORAYYYYY.

Festina - That breakfast looked sooooo good. thanks,

Geri and Franny - Prayers with you both, hope you are both feeling better.

Hi to everyone else.....peek back later
