my email is [email protected] I wanted to put the photo of me and donnie kissing with the big red lips. it is on my kodak photos I sent out of the reunion. Can i sent it to you if not just send me the one u have i appreciate it. My son is really good with the computer but he did not know how to make the photo smaller he downloaded or uplaoded to the site but it was too big. WHAT IS AN AVATAR LIKE DEBBIE ASKED. LOVE TERRY

I sent you an email with your "thumbnail" (just means a really small pic, or used an an intro to the larger one once you click on it.)
Send me the pic of the lips, I will work on it, but put the one I sent you in the email up for now, it should work.

I'm assuming "Avatar" is the running program developed to be used on sites as this, with areas on the website to build not only your profile and upload pics, but internally, it determines how we all are able to communicate with one another. I could be wrong, but this makes sense to me....

Yes we were the younger crowd lol lol lol (don't feel so young anymore) maybe you are thinking of my sister Laura she is 52, she was also at the reunion. My younger sister Jolene is still friends with Sally Ann, as a matter of fact her husband Vito was my nephews' coach on Staten Island. (small world). Judy

Judy, there were so many people at the reunion, and I was soooo overwhelmed by seeing everybody that I just had a few brain skips now and then, (ever get that?) and can't remember who came over to me, I wish I would have been there at that moment to talk to you more. But I am glad you are here with me now.

Debbie Siciargo,

I got your email. Thanks again for connecting me with Dawn O'Donnell. It is too funny that Dolores was there the day we spoke of her.

I know it was several pages ago, but I was singing, "Under the Boardwalk" heart and soul for you, honey. Honestly I was! I LOVE the idea of name that tune. Remember when that show was on t.v.? I believe Kathy Lee Gifford was one of the hosts. "name that tune, if you can..................la, la, la, la, " I forgot the words." My mother was good at it too.

Love,
Twiggy


p.s. WHERE THE HECK IS FRANCESCO BRUNO SARACINO? Maybe she published the Park Slope Cookbook, it went to #1 and now she took off with the profits in Tuscany! Let's discuss!!!

Suzie, thanks to my friend. I couldn't figure out how to make the picture smaller. A lot of people say I look like my mom. Thank you. Tell Patricia I said hello.

A Prayer For The Stressed

Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today
because they ticked me off.

And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today,
as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me to always give 100% at work:

12% on Monday,
23% on Tuesday,
40% on Wednesday,
20% on Thursday,
5% on Fridays.

And help me to remember:
When I'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 42 muscles to frown
and only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me.

Love,
Twiggy

JANET HORAN,

Your instructions are AWESOME. Especially to get our old friends connected again on this blog.

I guess you could email the instructions again as Karen Bonavita did just before the reunion. Even after she sent them, not too many returned. Could it be they actually have a life other than us Brooklynites? Can't be !

Festina hope your reading this...because you probably read when I mentioned that I thought Andrew Popolardo passed away, others said he did not...your brother John would know...If anyone knows anything about this please let me know....and Fran he did come from 29th street....so I think it is the same Andrew that you are talking about..... how strange...Judy

HI TO ALL WITH PIX ON HERE. LOVE IT. WAY TO GO. YOU ALL LOOK SO WONDERFUL. AGING IS AGREEING WITH US FROM WHAT I CAN SEE.

:salut:

Hi Judy-

This morning about 6AM, I looked out the window to see that my son did not pull out the pails for garbage pick up so, I went out to pull out the pails and I hear."Hey Franny, good morning.' Guess who it was. Yup, Andrew. I said good morning and ran into my house, my neighbors would have a fit. Andrew and his wife are extremely loud!
I will ask his sister how old Andrew is.

Have a great weekend!
