Hi All - Happy New Year. Been sick (bronchitis and that wicked bad stomach flu). Just thought I drop a line to say - thinking of you. Getting ready to leave work (came back yesterday after 2 1/2 weeks - I wanted to die). Have a good night. Will try to check back in tomorrow.

Hi & Bye Karen.

Hi & Bye Karen.

I feel bad for my Kids ...that they'll never experience what we did ...as a tight knit community.....my neighbors said before me ....they never spoke to eachother......they didnt even know the neighbor across the streets name.

here I go ...true story ....cant make this up... Pinto's words


I live out here in Staten Island for 16 yrs.....there is this guy that lives across the street from me and 1 house down. He would come out to go to work ...the same time as I would go out to take Nicole to school. He would never look me eye to eye ..... ohhhh and he wears this stupid looking toopay (however its spelled) guys please !! if your losing your hair ....at least spend the money to get a nice one that fits at least.
Anyway, I asked my next door neighbors how come Joe never says hi to me ???? there response was ...he's been here 34 yrs and never spoke to anyone on the block. Thats pretty sad if you ask me !!!!

So 1 morning ....I see him standing on his kitchen chair outside trying to cut branches by his gutters ....so you know me ....cant mind my business!!
He also had a huge hat on and no toopay!

So, I went in my shed ...and got that long pole that cuts branches high up in a tree..... I ran across the street in p.j.'s and slippers with the pole ...and said Hi Joe ....use this .....ohhh and by the way ....if I can come out here without a bra ....you can come out without that shit on your head!!!!!

I want you to know....Joe waves high every day ....and shaved his head so its shiny ...and bought a brand new car !!!!

But its still not like Park Slope.....

The End
