One can only assume, Eileen, that you're a world-class beauty! She won't answer, but in those days, there was none to compare with. Howie Bad answer, man. "in THOSE days....was." I know ref, I've already received at least three other reprimands Howie - funny that Eileen has no problem with my answer. |

Mila We are so far OT, that I have taken this to private e-mail. No fair!! I was really enjoying this. sue OK, Eileen, the real computer maven, is setting up some kind of Brooklyn Yahoo group that we can all chat on. Howie |

They [drivers] undoubtedly pay no attention to them anyhow... kind of like NYC cabbies. Trying to get a Manhattan cabbie to take you into Brooklyn can be maddening. (I do, by the way [and it's way too complicated a story to get into here] have reason to know that certain "contracts" [presumably, even verbal ones] there are only considered binding if in Portuguese.} Tee hee. The way I used to get a cab to Brooklyn as a teenager was to get IN the cab before I told the driver where I wanted to go. This always worked. When I was growing up in Brooklyn I didn't take cabs, just used the bus or the subway. Obviously, Sue, you were not a princess. Eileen, on the other hand, is descended from true royalty, if ya know what I mean. Howie sue |

Brooklyn yahoogroup (was Recommendations - the perfect climate?)
Okay, before everyone starts flaming us for talking way off topic, I've set up a yahoogroup. You can write to or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/growingupinbrooklyn/ Haven't done anything with yahoogroups in a long time, so don't expect anything! Eileen |
