i hope you bowl a 200 or more tonite...:)

Hi Patsy ....they're all excited about Halloween coming up....even Nicole
she is driving me crazy trying to find an outfit for their school dance....
I told her to just put one of Vinny's jersey's on and paint under your eyes
2 black lines and a baseball hat.....they said that isnt allowed it has to be
a costume.....sure more money! I cant win.....

Im gonna try and close this pool today....Vinny is off from work.

The weekend is almost here ....I cant wait!

Hi Joe, Jim, Helen, Karen and everyone

we have a halloween party on halloween...toniann is going to be a nurse
white skirt, white button up blouse, white sneakers,.. and a small face mask.... i bought her a belt with 2 fake syringes on it that say 'i call the shots' lol.. my nephew is is a leg cast, so she is his nurse while he is the patient...she is going to bandge up his head and put a littl fake blood on the bandage.. cute idea...

even at this age, it is exciting for them!!! i love when they dress up...(keep the nusre idea in mind for nicole..)

ohhh how cute ...I want to be that also! I could bandage up Umbria's head after I get through with him.......LOL

I remember one time working at the Bank on 9st ....the Boss told us all to get dressed up for Halloween......but what they didnt tell me....it was a joke....and I was the only one taking care of customers in a Genie outfit! Playing games back in the day! I just heard from Ida and she said my Former Boss passed away 2 wks ago.....so here's to Ed Bennett and making me look like a fool on
Halloween years ago!

Rest in Peace Ed

I CANT REMEMBER WHO HE WAS..

REMEMBER THAT MORNNG U STOPPED BY MY HOUSE AND THAT GUY WAS WALKING HIS SON TO SCHOOL??? WHAT WAS HIS NAME??? I SAW HIM YESTERDAY AND HE SAID HELLO AND I COULD NOT REMEMBER HIS NAME.

I think its Michael ....he came from 14th or 15 right down from Prospect Park

The Guy who was a Mailman on 20st works by the front door in Kmart ....short, a
little heavyset with graying hair....you might remember him ...he lived in those house where David is standing...I think!

Ter, great memories with your pictures. Keep them coming!
and Congratulations to Mike - I know it is well-deserved.
Hope it doesn't come with too much additional stress..


Happy to hear Geri arrived safely and you'll all be together tomorrow.
I'll be able to hear the laughter all the way down here.

And glad Carol's pulling the girls together next Friday for another
'fun time' Another missed opportunity to see Ellen/others.


Take care EVERYONE,,, going to see what's going on - and continue

Love & God Bless

I found this your posts entertaining and relevant (Debbie and Terry). And,

Just met an 84 year old woman in the nail salon. She has a boyfriend
for 11 years 'next month' (tracking date, how cute) --- and she won't move
in with him. She pretty much said "Who needs that shit at this stage of my life?" LOL Bless her!

TERRY

YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR 15YRS OLD IN THAT PIC

I HAVE TO FIND SOME OLDIES BUT GOODIES
OF THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD.

MY PROBLEM IS THAT MANY OF THE OLD PHOTOS
ARE STILL WITH MY EX-WIFE. I GUESS I COULD ASK MY
DAUGHTER TO SNEAK A FEW OUT FOR ME.

I DO HAVE SOME - I'LL CHECK WHEN I GET HOME

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THE LOOKING
BACK ON THE GREAT TIMES AND REMEMBER

TODAY'S FUTURE IS TOMORROW' S PAST

(HEY THAT WAS PRETTY PHILOSOPHICAL WASN'T IT)

WAY TO GO MIKE



TERRY ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE THINGS
IT MAKES LIKE A LITTLE EASIER

THINK POSITIVE

QUESTION OF THE DAY

HI GUYS
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT OLD SAYING
THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM

NOT TRUE

I JUST GOT UP
I WENT OUT FRONT TO SEE THE DAY
D RIGHT THERE IN MY FLOWER POT WAS A WORM
