Good Norning Everyone,

Joe - Hi How are you!!!

Hi to everyone else. Have a great day...

Hi Girls.....Happy Friday to you:)

Anthony, may God be with you with the eye surgery. I will send some Protestent prayers in your direction.

Joe, Good slide show. I recognized about 75% of the places despite being away from Brooklyn for many years. That florist shop on 5th Ave used to be "Weber-McLoughlin Florist" and it was run by a lady named "Harriet Weber Young".

Having some health problems. Had Ambulances and a fire truck here yesterday AM. Seems like my heart did not appreciate the Catherization they did and the change of Medication. Looks like I am in for further treatment... :pale:

The only trick or treaters we get here in our retirement village are people who are lost & need directions back to their houses. No candy give aways, The first year we lived here (1997) we did buy candy and had it in a bowl near the front door. Nobody came so that is that! There are Halloween parties and we have been to them in the past. There is also a lot of spooky decorations outside. but nothing compared to what we did in NJ. My whole front porch in Bergenfield was a Bat Cave with skeletons and bats hanging around a blackened cave like place.My front yard was a cemetary with grave stones with corny sayings on them. Like "Here Lies Freddy. Is he really deady?" Count Dracula was there also as well as "Frank In Stein". We would have a costume party at our house and we had a contest for the best costume. The winner got a hand made wooden decoration for their front door. Oh well, those were the good old days. Now the scariest thing I saw today was the nurses dressed up in my cardiologists office. They really got into the spirit. :batman: :spiderman: :rambo:

Good Morning everyone.....

...Here is Today's News, However Good and/or Bad it may Sound. A story I first heard about on Saturday, but has been played down and under reported, and made me start to think and look into it a little more. I went to various sites on the PC to try and find out more, and this is what I came up with.

...An Asteroid,name yu55,and about the size of a Modern Day Aircraft Carrier or about 1,300 wide, will pass between the Earth and the Moon on Tuesday, Nov.8th,2011...YES,That's Right...Tomorrow. The Moon is about 250,000 miles away from earth, and this asteroid is expected to pass the earth at approximately 200,000 miles or so.

...Now don't get crazy and do anything stupid( like spend all of your money on wine,drugs or fast women or men for that matter) because NASA says "there is nothing to worry about".....Great to hear that bit of good news.......

.............But.................

...suppose somebody miscalculated, and they are off by a degree or 2...do you think they would tell us, ooops we made a mistake,and "everybody get your Turkeys early this year" .... I Don't Think So....But ,anyway, I do believe in NASA and their scientist and engineers , and really don't think there is any reason to sweat this.....but just in case, I have painted a BIG RED BULLSEYE on my roof with the words...PLEASE LAND HERE....LOL

....Below is a photo of yu55....Enjoy
