Hi Warren
Yes I read the MOD address line for
Joeplant.
I'm hoping he posts on here, & sees that
I wrote to him. If not, maybe our MOD
Can help him get on here..
I used to love playing stickball
Girls agains guys but it was fun even though we got our asses kicked more than not..
We played on 22nd st Btwn 6 & 7 aves in my teen years
& when I was younger on 20th st which was
The street where I grew up, we played in the lot across the street from my house right off fourth ave.
Great memories.
Have a great day!!!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on for a while.....can't believe it's August already. Hope everyone is doing fine. Nothing really new here, just enjoying the summer. Talk to you all soon -
Hi Judy
The summer whizzed by!
Hope everyone is well,
Glad to see you posting.
Enjoy your weekend! -
Hey you people, It is only the second week of August just beginning. Stop wishing summer away. We have summer till November but up North you have it until the end of September. I bet the School kids do not think summer is over. Down here they go back to school the third week of August so they get plenty mad when the back to school ads start showing up in July.
We had another deluge of rain yesterday. The folks in California should send buckets here and we could fill them up and send them some water! -
Hi friends,
Hi Warren
I wish we could help Cali. Out like that.
College starts for my daughter end of
August.
The summer went by quickly.
I'm ready to get out my holiday decorations
Soon. Lol
Have a great night! -
Hello, Since when is August not considered summer???
Patsy, put those Holiday decorations away and take you bathing suit back out!
I am waiting for our pool to cool down a bit so I can take a refreshing swim. Last time I went in the water is was warmer then I would make a tub water. They are predicting more heavy rain this coming week. We are already 20 inches above normal for this date and we have had more then the average for the whole year. We get sunshine most of the day but the late afternoon and evening, watch out for the boomers and poring rain. -
While Summer lasts quite a bit longer here in the North Country (believe it or not, it is as hot here as in Northern Florida during this time of year), the Summer amateur sports season is over. I watched lots of softball, baseball, and soccer and had loads of fun.High schools sports season starts this Friday and I am eagerly looking forward to Autumn football, soccer, and girls tennis.Goat reminded of the Good Humor Man and Mr Softy commercials. Nowadays, I make my sundaes at home and add as many tasty ingredients as I can. It is far tastier and a lot cheaper than Dairy Queen though I sure miss the old ice cream parlors we used to have in God's Country such as Schrafft's, Woolworth's, and the many parlors we had in East New York.Everyone have a wonderful week!

Hello All, Patsy, hope you had a good time in the Pocono's. That was my old stomping grounds. Spent a lot of time in Canadensis which is near Mt Pocono, Cresco etc:. As with my family, all my friends in the Pocono's are deceased. The folks that owned the resort we went to, the people from Bay Ridge that we made friends with up there who built a house right across the street from the resort. All gone. That is one of the prices you pay for growing old. All your friends and family go on to heaven and leave you behind. I do not know if there is one person that I was friends with in Brooklyn are still alive. But look on the bright side. I am here to talk about my old friends and memories!
-
Hi Warren
On last leg of vacation.
I had a great time in Poconos & jersey with
Some old friends.
Back to work on Monday.
I still have more vacation time, but I'm going to take time off during holidays!
Have a great weekend & regards to Carol.

Memories of Park Slope- Delivering the Brooklyn Eagle on my Brothers route, especially the Sunday paper in the snow, on a sled at 6am. Walking to Ebbetts Field to see my BROOKLYN (Not LA) Dodgers play. Playing stick ball on 12th Street, Basketball in the 12th Street Reformed Church, singing in the choir at 12th Street Reformed Church, having some libations at Murphy's Tavern on 5th Avenue, going to the "Y" on 9th Street, The Prospect, Globe,Avon,Sanders, Minerva and 16th Street Movies Theaters, PS 124 and PS 40's, Methodist Hospital, (broke my arm) ringo Leeveo, Johhny on a pony, off the point, box ball, triangle ball etc:, etc:, etc:, never bored!!!!
-
I've had a very difficult time loggin on and hope this posts ....As for those Dodgers, I still remember my dad steaming with anger at Benedict Arnold - that is, Walter O'Malley - for taking away his favorite team. But I was, and remain, a loyal Yankees fan.Played many of those streets games and had loads of fun, too.Autumn scholastic sports has started here in the Twin Cities and the fun has just begun!Every have a Wonderful Weekend!
-
What in the world has been going on. Could not get on here for a week!!!

Hi guys
This site was under construction
Glad we're back on!!
How are you, Richard & Warren?
Hope all is well with everyone.
TGIF!! Long work week..
Richard enjpy your sports. I'm glad
Your're doing what you love.
Enjoy your weekend, my friends &
Happy Labor Day! -
I am doing okay, thanks for caring Patsy. For a site that was down that long, the only difference I see are different ads. Sometimes I feel that this site is being treated like a poor distant cousin.
Really have been enjoying the Tennis Open in NY. Also been watching baseball, both leagues. Not ready for Football yet. When I am it will be whole hog for the Giants. I hope St Pierre will sign his contract. Even with nine fingers he will be great on defense! I have been in the Tampa Bay FL area for 18 years but I am still an avid Giant fan. Been one since the 50's. It was sad to see Frank Griffith go. He was a real Giant hero. -
Hi guys
Warren, what about those Mets?
My husband (the Yankee fan) is sitting here watching Yankees lose a double header.. He's quiet since he can't rag on the Mets!
He's hoping Yankees get picked for the wild card,. Well let's see what happens..
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
-
Btw, Warren
I felt bad that Serena lost to an unknown.
She's still the best!! -
"Happy Grandparents Day" to all the wonderful grandparents out there!!!
-
Hi Judy
Yes
Happy grandparents day.
My daughter Natalie cooked for us yesterday, a nice pot of stew & she baked fudge brownies.
It was all delicious!
Hope all the grandparents out there had a very special day too!! -
Hi everyone, we are upgrading the site and it maybe a little glitchy/buggy for a few days. We apologize for the inconvenience. Feel free to email [email protected] if you have problems logging in etc..
-
Hi MOD
Thanx for the heads up -
I have been trying to get on here for days. I think it would be easier for me to get on the Presidents web site!!! Every time I signed on it would ask me to sign on. Did not give me a comment box until today when I did NOT sign in!!! No wonder so few people have been coming on.
#1 Patsy I do not think any team can beat the Mets right now. They are the best in baseball! The Yankees are doing well despite a weak lineup. Gerardi has been winning with smoke & mirrors. He has to be a candidate for Manager of the year.
#2 Tom Coughlin MUST GO! Sunday's debacle is at his doorstep. Eli tried to take the blame but we all know that there are speakers in his helmet and he is being told what to do by the coaches. The Giants may not be a super team but what they showed on Sunday up until the last minute deserves attention.
#3 Serena's loss was a fluke. The girl (excuse me, Women) that beat her looked like an amateur in the finals. I was very disappointed that Roger did not beat the conceited a-- Jerkovitch in the finals.
#4 I hope the blog will work well from now on! -
I have been having a terrible problem getting on here. I wrote a 4 paragraph entry a couple of hours ago when I finally got on after several fruitless attempts. That message never made it to the blog despite all being in order!
-
Sorry about that. Trying to resolve the issue.
-
After so many attempts, if this does not post I am giving up. It would be easier to post on the blog of the President of the U.S. then on here
-
We reset the cookies today, so hopefully that resolves the issue.
-
Good morning
Warren don't leave please
Your my lifeline on here!
We're the only 2 really consistent ones on here. Where are you Richard??
Enjoy your day, people!!
Howdy, Stranger!
