Who the hell is Juan Pablo????
Do any of you remember the Roller Derby games that used to take place in the Armory on 8th Ave & 14-15th Street? The leading lady on the Brooklyn Womens team was named "Tuffy Bresheun (SP)" It was a lot of fun and right in the neighborhood.
Hi Warren Lol. Juan Pablo from the tv show The Bachelor. He really did not find love just a temporary playmate. I don't remember the roller derby games.

Probably hundreds of people are being interviewed but ya never know. Maybe u will see me on the cooking channel lol Yeah with Brooklyn accent. I don't know. I already warned them that I have a heavy Brooklyn accent. lol

I already warned them that I have a heavy Brooklyn accent. lol
T-Bone, Carol watches that show often. She said that most of the people they pick have an accent of one kind or another. The Brooklyn accent should not be a problem at all. She said last night they had two Indian women with heavy Indian accents! It is cool & windy here in Florida today. Not as cold as you in NY NJ etc: but for us it is quite cold. Bobby, glad someone can remember some of the stuff from my younger days. Most on here are just a little too young.
Good morning all. Brrrr. Cold this am. Terry, bring sweaters!!! 48 in Tampa, 36 in Hernando & Citrus counties!!! Patsy, ask your daughter if she knows when her college started. It was there when I considered schools in the late 40's early 50's and I am sure way before then. Also, what Wagner is it named after??? Judy, how did the stitch removal etc: work out?
Patsy, Sorry about the wrong school. I remember back when she was looking at different schools and for some reason I thought she picked Wagner.
In regards to the picture. When I had the letters B U etc and the choices of font color & size, I could not do the pictures. Now all those choices are gone but I can do the picture????
Well the stitches and the sling are all off....still very swollen, can't fully extend my arm yet...I will be starting physical therapy on Monday. Didn't realize I would still be like this almost four weeks later. I guess having the Cubital tunnel surgery (elbow) was more intense that I expected......I'm sure it will feel better each day
warren...great picture
Patsy ...has is your grandson doing?
Hi to everyone else.....enjoy the rest of your weekend
Judy Salvatore is a doll!! Gavin is great. He's a little spitfire already (Just like his mom.) God help me. Lol I will try to post pix. Hi Cuzzie Love ya. Xx
I am cooking corn beef & cabbage today. I love that meal!! A favorite of mine. Everyone enjoy your day & Happy St. Patrick's day!!
Happy saint Patrick's Day Judy I can't get my photos on. I think I have to resize???? How???? Got one on but that was from my son' phone I think not my camera. Patsy can't get on she just called to see if I could get on...
Hi guys Broke my wrist yesterday A little girl decided to skip in front of me & I tripped over her & I wound up with an impacted wrist (left) I hit the ground very fast & hard & landed On my left wrist In a lot of pain & going to the orthopedic Tomorrow My wrist is wrapped up & in a sling right Now. Going to take meds now for it & going to bed Have a good night, all
Patsy, Take care of that wrist. Hope it heals quickly. I think you should make up a story about how you got it broken. What you said is very believeable, but it would be more interesting if you broke it defending yourself from a mugger or a pack of wild dogs. Just kidding!!!!
Judy, the whole world is upside down these days so why shouldn't your pictures join in. Only thing is I am too damn old to stand on my head to look at them.
Terry, it has started to warm up some down here, especially in the afternoon. Mornings are still a bit crispy.
Hi guys The cast is on (whoopee) They come in colors I opted for blue I have to wear it for 8 weeks with Follow ups In between Another big whoop Warren I'm very glad it wasn't due to Dogs lol Ok everyone have a good night
Hi-Patsy-sorry to hear about your wrist-take care!! Hi Terry, Warren, Debbie & Judy...56 degrees today-it was sunny & beautiful..unfortunately, that's not going to last...oh well..getting ready for the baby shower on Sunday..had some personal days coming to me so took this afternoon off and will be off until next Wednesday-than after that-2 days working and my retirement officially begins!!! just spoke to my brother-the closing is supposed to be on July 1 but he said that usually doesn't happen so I might be here longer than expected. but I have so much to do and I'll be with Jessica and the baby (when he comes) so I think it will work out..well, everyone enjoy your weekend..talk to u soon..
Saturday- This afternoon I am having a bunch (9) neighbors from my old street before we moved here to our Independent Living Apartment. I invited them for a dinner party. The best part is we have no preparation, no cooking and no clean up afterward. We can just enjoy our company in a private dining room. They get to order from our menu with a lot of choices for their entrée including Prime Rib today. There is soup, salad, sides and of course coffee, tea and dessert. We also prepaid for a couple of bottles of wine to be served during the meal. These people were our neighbors & friends for 16 years. We all had our homes built around the same time. Unfortunately most of the men are gone and the majority left are widows! Looking forward to this dinner party with old friends!
Patsy, Thank you for asking about the party. It worked out just fine. Our friends were a little shocked when they saw their choices from the menu. We (Carol & I) had prepaid for the party and it was all inclusive. The wine went over well also. Some of them thought they would be paying for their dinner individually. We reassured them that it was all taken care of including the tip. What Carol liked the best was just enjoying her dinner and our company and then getting up from the table and not having to clean up anything. It was well worth the cost!!!
Good Morning All Patsy hope u r feeling better Saw Gavin on facebook at the parade. OMG his hat. He is just tooooo cute.. Cold today.... Well wish me luck. Going for my interview for Mo Rocco's show...My Grandmothers Raviloi at 11 at CBS. Hope get it...lol Have a great day and New Yawkerssssssss stay warm it is going to be very cold....
Hi everyone-taking a couple of days off-going back to work on Wednesday (for 2 days) . Warren-glad you had a nice time with your friends...Jessica's baby shower was so much fun..(but a lot of work) now for the countdown!!! Patsy-hope everything will go well with your doctor's appt..Hi Judy-hope you're recovering well too! Terry-hope the interview goes well-I think I get that show here in Chicago-maybe I'll see u on there!!! have a nice day everyone..............
Hello all. Would you people up North please keep your cold air to yourselves! In the high 30's and low 40's in this area this AM. That is NOT normal for late March. Should be well into the 70's. Patsy, good luck with the wrist. Hope it heals fast. Judy, keep those fingers moving. Anna, I am sure we will be all warmed up when you get down here to Florida. T-Bone, good luck on the TV show. Had a Dentist appointment this AM. Supposed to go to a going away dinner this evening for one of our old neighbors but Carol is not feeling so hot right now. Have to see how she feels later.
Hi guys Cuz good luck. hope you get picked. If u win, can you make us raviolis? Warren, hope Carol feels better & you Make that dinner tonite Yes it Is only in the 30's today Weekend will be in the 50's Everyone, enjoy your day!!
We did not get to the dinner party Wednesday night. Carol was not up to it. I made her pasta and sauce here in the apartment. She is feeling a lot better tonight. Tomorrow I will be trained as a dispatcher for our Sun City Center Security Patrol. The patrol is a backup for our County Sheriffs officer. No guns, no arresting just observation and reporting any kind of trouble or offering assistance where needed. Between that and the work I am doing for a Nondenominational Worship group, I am keeping pretty busy. Guess it will keep me out of trouble. Remember the old saying "Idle hands are the devil's workshop".
Hi Warren Glad Carol is feeling better You're a busy bee down there Good for you. It will keep you young Weather in 50's this weekend with rain Not too bad Enjoy your weekend!
Good Morning-well, last day of work was yesterday..given a great retirement party at the county..then went out with Jessica last night for a purse party...dinner tomorrow with the kids and have some plans this week - lunch with a friend and an eye appt..I'm so excited about this..you know when it's time to retire & relax...60 degrees tomorrow so the weather is getting better here (finally)..son is on vacation in Phoenix (went to the spring training facility out there & saw a few games) then on to Las Vegas...got my passport for when I go to Florida..friends down there work for Disney & I'm planning on some cruises with them...well, enjoy the weekend everyone...will talk to u soon.......
Happy Sunday all, Terry it looks like you got real lucky. Last week was rainy and cold. Forecast for this coming week warmer & dryer! Anna, welcome to the retired people club. After awhile you will find yourself as busy as ever but you will enjoy it more. Judy keep working on that wrist until it is 100% better. Patsy, watch out for that wrist of yours. You do not want to do too much until the healing process is well under way. Debbie, Talk about busy, today I have to take a large part in the Nondenominational worship service here and in another place., Tuesday I will be going to two Assisted Living places to monitor the service we do there and in a few weeks I will be in charge of those services for a couple of Tuesdays, Next Sunday I will be running the Communion Service in two places On Easter Sunday I will be doing the sermon here at our service and at another Independent/Assisted Living place down the road. On the 21 I will pull my first shift as a dispatcher for the Security Patrol. It is the busiest I have been in years.
Enjoy your Sunday folks, Terry get those bags packed!
