that still have concerns, troubles and yes...sometimes worries. but we see the big picture and try to look past the moment when it comes to those things and savor the moments like these. these kinda friendships remind me of the real meanin(to me) of 'Brooklyn Back When' . Thanks EVERYONE for keepin that spirit alive. A special thanks to our 'Guest' for their input which only served to further strengthen us. Paul Giglio wrote: As far as this MUSHY GROUP is concerned and if you've
comprehended anything on here, you would realize what
some have gone through in their lives but still have the
good heart, strength and common sense to say something
kind and thoughtful while having the perfect right to be bitter.
Don't be fooled by their kindness as a weakness, these are
strong proud people that know how to fight when neccessary
and I'm proud to be one of THEM.


I feel this is worth repeatin. kinda like a 'Brooklyn Back When' mantra. Thanks Paul. This is taking chicken shit and turnin it into chicken soup. It would seem the 'Guest' tried to tear us down but we all have different ingredients in us and were able as a *group* to turn chicken shit into chicken soup. Now THIS is a recipe to remember. Have a good one people.
