    Sorry Teka LOL. I can get carried away and try to distract people ;)

    My friend lived in Middleton then Goshen then New Paltz and one other place I cannot remember. I really like New Paltz. (most liekly because it spoke to my inner hippie) My Uncle had lived in Schenectady (sp?) in the mid 80's. Worked for St Regis paper company. I loved it up there. Or maybe I liked it because he was there and I loved him more than anyone in this world. He died when I was in HS and to this day Miss him. My mother had been devastated by his death for so many years I was worried about her. But she and he had lived through the best and worst of times together. Stories for another day!

    Loved driving through New York in the summer. So lush. Love the Hudson Valley. A place I could live if I had the money haha! We went to Westpoint and walked around. WOW! what an amazing campus and the young men and women were so impressive!

    I love the east coast, however, admittedly have never been beyond Chicago. Shame on me. There;s still time......to do that cross country tour.......I need to do it sooner rather than later. I just committed to new flooring for my downstairs, 3 landings and all of the stairs.

    I am excited to finally have this done. I want to sell this place soon and one step closer than I was!!!!

    Be well ladies and hugz cause I know some are going through some hard times now. I wish I could lessen the burden....

    Good luck with your plans........

    Piper you lessen the burden just by being you......your such fun.......and we discuss Pa. because we love  Pa...........have been all across the U.S from Pa to Washington State....and there is No Place Like HOme........we get bragging rites.............we are a tough State who is known for loving their sports team win or lose.....................

    By the way girlfriend................Chip Kelly and the Eagles got rid of Vick........he's gone.......the Jets took him............LOL Good luck N.Y..............glad he's gone from  here...........they also got rid of LeSean Jackson....great player, but a real Hot Dog, plus......Shady.......He is talking to the Redskins I think........maybe McNabb talked him into going there.............I also heard the 49ers want him, and he is from Ca. so maybe that will be his choice....

    Got a cute picture for you Piper.......this is Shea eating her very first  "meatball"......G.Grandaughter number 3..........

    Piper,

    I've been a lurker on this thread - difficult for me to post on them all. I LOVE hearing your stories of PA!! My father was born there and it's so wonderful to read. It's been a very long time since I've been there - I hope to visit again someday :)

    Piper such fun sharing our Pa stories........I went into a building in Pittsburgh when I was there for Kevin's games at Carnagie Mellon......it was a really tall building, and there was a spot if you stood on it, it represented something that happened in Pittsburgh.....thought was sports.....really cool....wish I could remember what it was..........will have to ask my daughter......

    Maybe if we ever have a reunion with FK. she is in Pa. now, Blondie also 20 minutes from me, we can meet........especially when you decide to take your tour..........

    How cool would it be if we could get together for a Pittsburgh, Eagles game in my son's Club Box......now that would be great........

    No worries Teka I am a fricking chatter!! There were people who used to like my ability to not focus on work and anything bothersome at hand. Sometimes I worry peeps will think me unsympathetic or unkind. 

     LOLz Ducky...And here I really need to do my homework cuz I didn't realize Vick was dumped errrr he chose another venue. LOLOLOL

    Shit.

    I am so ousted...I need to work on my present tense Eagles. 

     Funny thing is I think I am super hyper sensitive.....but have a lag time with it....

    argghhhh

    TY Ducky for sharing. Like everyone in your family (I really mean this) He is a looker. 

    How wonderful to have such a loving and wonderful family.

    Most of my family are out of touch, fragmented, disconnected and dysfunctional

    I am jealous

    But I did get to pick my friends and the few I have are amazing!!

    ;)

    It's so difficult when they move away. You want them to be happy, but miss them so much.

    Are the streetcars still running in Pittsburgh? DH is a rail fan, he'd like to know

    Downtown for me was Cincinnati and mom and I both wore our Sunday best to go. Many years later took DD down, wearing jeans. Thinking the whole time I hope mom doesn't catch us. 

    Vick should have been on that plane that went down, damnit! I will never forgive or forget.

    Most of Philly never forgave him either..........I have a daughter who stopped watching the Eagles when they took him on...............what he did was horrendous........

    Slow......I did not see any trolley's in Pittsburgh when I was there.........now Philly still has them but that does not mean they don't....maybe I just didn't see any..

    I did go on the car that goes up that big hill to the top........that was really cool.....then we ate dinner at a restaurant at the top.......called Shiloh............

    I was so glad to see him go, but I knew he was......Foles did such an amazing job last year....he turned the Eagles around, and made them winners..........and just a stand up guy.........and now we have Sanchez...........both easy on the eyes.................then Jackson gone, good move, and now we have a great team with the problems gone......

    Sometimes it only takes a couple people to turn a fun time into a bummer time.........you wonder why people do the things they do, but it takes all kind............glad they are gone.......nasty people are never welcomed or missed when they leave........go Eagles........

    I asked Ducky. We haven't been there since the early 70s. 

    Teka, yes, that's the monster.

    I don't know who Vick is, or what he did - but, it doesn't sound good.
