HI BOB HORAN LOVE YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE JELLY DONUT AND STRAW,ETC. YOU ARE HYSTERICAL.

GLAD YOU'RE ON THE BLOG TONIGHT. :cheers:

HI JANET ARE YOU EXHAUSTED STILL FROM ALL THE TRAVELLING? AND ARE OLIVIA AND PETUNIA YOUR CATS OR SOME OTHER KIND OF PETS?

GOOD EVENING

ANYBODY HOME

Dear Carol,

I just like to stir up a little sibling rivalry stew whenever possible. The truth is that as the youngest, I always tried to emulate my older brother and sister. My email address is [email protected]. I would love to hear from you.

The mention of the pink and white sweet popcorn brought back strong memories. It was almost as if one only ate the pink and white popcorn when regular popcorn wasn't available, because the pink and white was really horrible (I thought). It was almost shocking because it promised good corny/salty flavor and then it was colored like and tasted like cotton candy. Was the pink and white anyone's favorite?

My mother used to hold us and jump off the 16 ft diving board at Sunset Park Pool as a way to embolden us to do it ourselves. It was scary yet safe because she was there. My mother, Jo Horan, was brave about athletics. She liked swimming, going out far. She swam in lakes that were infested with blood suckers in Rhode Island, and swam in eely canals in Long Island, She liked to wrestle with her kids until we got too crazy or too big at which point she would start yelling: "OK! That's enough! What are you kids crazy" Then a little while later she would start a match again. Mischievous is what you might call her. She wasn't afraid of canoeing, or rowing, or of taking lots of us kids on the Hospital Boat where we saw some pretty sad cases, and got to eat peanut butter sandwhiches left over from WWI. She liked to dance and often got Janet and me to put on a dance, ususally a Native American rain dance, or a polka.

Antony Umbria, ](*,) :oops: I checked for you on facebook. I am on there. There were so many who had a crush on me, I have to ask you to toggle with my memory. I do remember you, but I need to see a face.

Anthony Umbria, I will be 57 the end of this month.

Hey Bob Horan......I skipped the blender and just had the ice cream. lol Chocolate!!! If I can find a good jelly donut when I feel better I'm eating 2!!!

namaste:

MARILYN HORAN: i too remember going on the Hospital Boat, it was there i ate my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and it was my first time on a boat. it was an experience. The adults had to have at least one child in order to go on the Hospital Boat. It was lots of fun. We were not allowed to go to the movies, so it was a big thing for us to sit and watch a movie. .

BOB HORAN: i believe it was u who asked about simple healthy solutions for meals. i live alone and can't see myself cooking a meal every day, but on the other hand i am also not very fond of eating out too much. Let me share with u what i do. when i cook i make enough to freeze, i use freezer baggies and fill them enough for one meal. i freeze brown rice, then i steam it when i am ready to use it. i make my sauce and i freeze it in individual portions. i make my soup, but i don't put the vegetables in it to freeze, veggies don't freeze well. when i am ready to have soup i dice veggies small and put them into the soup, veggies cook while the soup is being heated. i don't eat much meat and whatever meat i eat has to be organic, i season all the meats before freezing and freeze in individual portions. I always have in the refrigerator to prepare a salad. It takes a some effort to prepare the food and freeze it but it is worth it. I also take garlic, onion, basil, parsley, (what ever u have in the refrig. that is for seasoning) i put then in sm. food processor, i freeze it in a ice cube tray, when frozen i empty tray and put in freezer bag. I also do this with what we latinos call "Sofrito," i also do this when i make sauce because i use my sauce as tomato sauce and whenever i need seasonings, or i need tomato sauce it's all ready. preparing the seasoning for cooking is time consuming, this method makes it easier to cook. preparation a meal for me is a joy and delicious not a task.

for me cooking food and leaving it in the refrigerator, i can't do that, because after 2 days the food starts forming bacteria, so i try to avoid eating left overs that has been in the refrig. for more than one day.

i hope this is helpful to u.

LindaJoy: You are right, i loooooved CI, we used to have a good time, remember Butchie going with us, he was just as crazy? i was a dare devil, i had no fear, the more dangerous and exciting a ride was the more i liked it. CI was just so exciting, Eddie my son, is lamenting the closing of CI, he went down that last week and took some photos. I remember when i didn't have a pot to piss in i would accumulate some $ and take my children to CI, boy talk about fun, my children now as adults talk about CI and they appreciate all of it.

WARREN (OLD GOAT) I remember Steeple Chase and the man-made horses, remember the mirrors which made you look distorted, girls remember there would be air holes strategically placed in the floor and when you walked over them they would blow your skirt up, if you didn't catch your skirt on time every one would see your panties. that was many laughs.

well thats all folk
blessings to all

Hey, Good morning!!!

WARREN AND NILDA,
Did somemone write this i dont remember. When u first went into steeplechase didn't we have to walk through a barrel turning and turning. I remember the clowns hitting u on your backside as you were riding on them.
With my balloon business I do alot of Sweet 16"s and I still buy my jelly apples, cotton candy, popcorn from the same guy we bought from inthe store inside near the train station. He moved to Staten Island now. It is the same lady and man that was there when we were kids. I was called Phillips.
I think next reunion we might try some of the above for old times. NOT the pink popcorn Marilyn. lol CONGRATS AGAIN MARILYN ON YOUR RETIREMENT AND BY THE WAY I KIND OF LIKE THAT SONG I KISSED A GIRL. I never really listened to the words but I like it. Love terry ann
