ReplyDeleteLooks like they will let anybody in the mafia these days.
ReplyDeleteDon't let those unassuming pasta pushers in "front" of Carter Drug store fool you. They sell herbal teas, and medicines to the young, infirmed, and old.
ReplyDeleteOkay I just may use these link for my own personal diary and you all will be hostage to it if you don't participate. I quit smoking Dec. 1 2008. This was my crack cocaine, this was my best friend in times of celebration and desparation. To give this up was giving away a part of who I was. I had lung cancer in 2002 and soon after I could start breathing again I started back. I finally quit cold turkey. I decided this was my enemy and could only bring me pain. My health began to slow and I knew at 49 I may not see my family get old or enjoy my retirement that I set myself up for. Now that this addiction is behind me I am going down another path of addiction. Lucky me I love to shove anything in my mouth that fits. I am not a picky eater I love all foods. This would even include fried worms that we had in Thailand yummy just like McDonald's french fries. Well my journey is going to be call phataboulous me. I now weigh 220 lbs (here is where you can be just agast). I am going to write from time to time and give you updates. If anybody would like to share in this or something else feel free. I will be here watching.
ReplyDeleteI am now recognizing this is going to be my own diary with a few a very few peeping in from time to time. As we Italians know you should keep your business to yourself (not a word to anybody). When my mother finds out about this and she will, she is going to KILL me. This should be fun an eighty year old lady chasing me with her cain. But this is a new age of openess. Sometimes it lets other people know that they are not alone in they're addictions. Anyway I just recently recognized I am having more of a relationship to food than I am to people. I would say it is time for me to get out of denial (don't even no I am lying) and face the fact that my addition to food doesn't make me feel good when I eat but makes me feel worse in the end. It is a replacement for what I am lacking in my own life. Maybe it could be that I am lacking a relationship to God or to my family or friends. It's a personal journey that I will have to go alone. But one that I am not afraid. Not any that I am getting to old for this Bull. :):) Poor Niki she is probably wondering what kind of monster did I create. See you all soon.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and Elnora want to get on this but I don't know how to get them on. I deleted your last e-mail Niki that was most helpful in starting to get people on. If I could get that again that would be great!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammi!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your "diary" and think it's wonderful for you to have someplace to write your thoughts and feelings etc. down.
In order for you mom or Elnora, or anybody else, to be a writer/poster on this blog I have to send an email invitation to them. It's just the way this blog works that the person who creates it has to be the one to invite people. So let me know what their email addresses are and I will invite them :)
much much love to you and Martha too
xoxo
I just paged Elnora couldn't get ahold of her God knows the bingo parlor is waiting for my mother and Elnora's arrival. I just wrote in an e-mail to some in the family that this blog is a wonderful way of having a pictorial and oral history of our families lives. My own belief that with the involvement of others that this could be handed down generations as a gift. There is so much I would love to hear about the family. The ones I know as well as the ones I don't know.
ReplyDeleteTammi, Now that you've met Nicki and me, that's really all you need. :-) How's my girl Sally?
ReplyDeleteI have just sent invitations to everyone's email addresses ... apologies if you received one twice ... I'm not sure who I sent one to first! I'm pretty sure that you need a gmail account to post a blog here so please let me know if you're having trouble posting and I will work on it!
ReplyDeletelove to all :)

all right, i figured i should write something just to break up Tammi's endless chatter. I got in a car accident last week. Just sitting there and got hit by some kid not paying attention. totaled my car. A little Physical Therapy and i will be fine. Heading off to disney World in the next few weeks, first time there. replaced the car with a huge research from my wife Jackie. Could not have gotten the value without her. Kids are doing great. We won 13 - 0 in soccer or saturday, Jimmy's team did and that is about it. There you go Tammi, now you can continue to use this for you diarhea, I mean diary)::)
ReplyDeleteYou think I write alot. I was over by the drug store and mom recited a master's thesis for me to write on this blog all to not be able to post it. All the way back to World War 2 and the depression. Dina and Nicki now that I read what you wrote if my work had to pay me for the way I am feeling today they would go bankrupt. Love and Peace out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving all. We will be calling you today!
ReplyDeleteOne woman with courage makes a majority.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is almost 81 years old and knows about this blog but is not used to going on the internet. She asked me to write something here for her that she sent in a letter. Here goes. To my dear mother, father, my sister Verna and my baby brother Dick that have left this world, and to my baby sister Greta and my oldest brother Tony who are still here. I just want you all to know how very much I loved and enjoyed every second in our wonderful home at 89 Jefferson St., and wish I could relive all those years. We all loved each other so much. We laughed, sang, and danced up and down the hills in Belmont Hills, Pa. through the great depression and the Second World War. We lived on top of a very steep hill and the sky and God seemed so close to us. Mother and dad taught us to love and respect our fellow man no matter who they were and to believe in God and this brought us great happiness. We were blessed with a wonderful extended family and through the blood we are leaving behind - we will live again through that blood and we will be together again. All My Love- Irene (Renee) Passarella formally of West Manayunk. May God Bless You All!
ReplyDeleteI just printed out the message from Irene and am bringing it to dinner with Melody, Greta, Aunt Babe, Dina and Miriam tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to write that out, Tammi!
