Which end of the barrel? lol That's funny! I see you also have a humorous side!
You are sharp Rosey, but I have one up on you, that being that I spent the first 10 years of my life in various parts of Brooklyn, and 10 years after in various locations in Queens Borough, H.S and College in NYC, on to Long Island, still having a home on the east end. I have hundreds of friends and family in all areas and so have up to the minute knowledge. Perhaps you are living in one of my old pads (now called cribs) lol. I live in the Southwest because I don't have to shovel heat. You are brash and daring but far from exclusive, still I love you, handywoman. Your posts are provocative and stimulating with the ball always landing in the court of Minds Eye. This is good, as it provides stimulus for the dead heads to finally open their minds and address new issues, which of course you will continue to provide. Peace, Love and Joy! PS: So when are you going to do something about all the graffiti in NY? I was very upset about the desecration on my last visit. On May 5, 5:56 pm, Rosey <[email protected]> wrote: > You do Slip???
