Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hi Patsy,

Remember what I said last week about TRUANTS. Boy do we have a list of no shows. Unlike school, we have no way of insisting that people come here to the blog. There are a few of us regulars left but that is about it. Perhaps when Facebook goes belly up (their stock is in the toilet) some will come back on here???? :scratch:

Hail to the new Queen. :queen: Planning a quiet weekend. Carol enjoyed her birthday yesterday. Took her out to dinner last night. Each of our kids contacted her with cards & calls along with a nephew and a neice to wish her a happy birthday. She also got birthday wishes from our insurance agent, Holland America lines,Seminole Casino and me! :sunny:

Joe,

I am so sorry for the loss of your cousin. He was friends with my husband David that passed away. They went to school together. Very Handsome man. Too young to pass..Annette told me (Padron) she also went to school with them,,,,,

A am shame this month...Him, Bruce's wife, Dimalooch God bless him 96 years old...(Patty and Neil Morello's Dad..Dimalooch)

So sad.....

Well I am going to have a nice glass of wine at the party in honor of these dear people.

Patsy it is Dominick Nicotra's party..his engagement. My cousin you worked with at the Limo place.

I just caught by the Truant Officer...lol

Back from the engagement that started as an engagement and before the party or the cake was cut they broke up. I had a good time anyway. lol

Terry, glad to see you on here. I was beginning to think you deserted us!

Anna, Florida is a very long fairly narrow state. The Naples area is on the West coast and it is one of the most southern parts of the west coast. A litle warmer there then the middle or northern part of the state. The most Northern is quite cool in the winter. There a tons of places all over and especially places for people over 55 years of age. If you start looking anywhere in Florida find out what the rules are. Some places can be very restrictive for pets and children. The lower East coast of Florida has a lot of people from the Northeast. Especially from NY. The area of the west coast I live in (The Tampa Bay Area) has people from all over but especially from the midwest. It takes a lot of research to decide what part of Florida to live in and it depends on personal taste. :idea:

Warren,

I did not leave. It s such a pain to get back on. they used to send me an email when people posted and I would just click on it and get on. They changed that too. Hope all is well. Never went back to read everything.

Love to all.....Yes facebook stock is down. lol

Good Morning,

Sorry I have not been on, just busy working and trying to enjoy the last few weeks of the summer.

Patsy - you are funny "Queen" you are the best, always keeping this blog going...

Warren - Happy Birthday to Carol, glad she had a good time.

Helen - So sorry to hear about your Aunt Diane...RIP.

Hi to Anna, Terry, Debbie and everyone else.

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS

BUSY MORNONG.. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

:flower:

GOOD NIGHT SWEET DREAMS

Good Morning All.

Have a great day

Hello All,

Patsy, Carol & I are doing pretty well. I got one of my test results today & it was good news. Carol awaiting her blood work results. I have an appointment with the cardiologist Thursday, Carol with her Gastro guy Friday. Next week we both see our Primary Doc but on different days. I also have an appointment with my Urologist and Carol has one with our Radiologist. We practically live in Doctors offices.

Terry, I do not understand why you are having so much trouble getting on here. I just type in my User name & password and go right in. My biggest gripe is that when you make an entry and it is the bottom of the page, it takes a full day to show up. Do you think your problem might be because you are using an Apple computer? :scratch:

Maybe Warren because I do have a Mac

I want to use my own password but don't know how to di that. I have to use their password and it is always number with letters, nothing easy to remember. I f I don't come on every day I have to log in all over and apply each time for a new password. Such a pain.

Hey Everyone there in God's Country!

I hope your Summer has been a delight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's all wish Julia Child a Happy 100th Birthday. She was always very popular in Brooklyn back in the day and will never be forgotten.

Hi all.....
