Or, was it me who erased it?

I'm missing something here. What word and in whose classroom?

Oh, and ML lurks occasionally, so she might be reading this now. ML, BigSis is JR in case you're reading in.

BSJR: Your house [[next to the alley) was visible from our home on Eastwood [[left there in 1979). What's the latest?

**BigSistertoJohnR** · April-02-09, 04:57 PM

Been living in Northern Michigan for 19 years. It took me about 10 years to get used to "up north". But, now I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm still a Motor City girl, born and raised, but it sure is beautiful up here. The kids are grown and out of the house. One is married, she is 28. The other is 25, and she is living with a friend and working. No empty nest syndrome here! Both girls live up here, they don't remember Detroit.

The avatar made it to you profile. It won't show up when you post on a thread.

Hey, Bro, how did you change your username?

I live north of Detroit in a small town. I have two girls also. One is 32, the other 31. Both married with kids. The oldest has 2 boys and lives in Clawson, and the younger has 1 girl and lives in Colorado. When they were small, I used to take them downtown to the Ethnic festivals on the riverfront, and to Greektown, the Fisher, the Fox and everywhere else I could drag them to. Apparently, I instilled a love of Detroit in the older one; she went to University of Detroit Mercy and loved it. Lived on campus and then in a Frat on 6 Mile.

By the way, I'll see your Freewheelin' Franklin and raise you one Fat Freddy's Cat!

BSJR or can I drop the full name and just call you BS since we went to school together?

Welcome!
The last time I saw you, you were sitting on your porch on Vernier [[I think) and just getting ready to move to TC. How is Mike?
Ask him if he remembers who chipped his front tooth

playing bean bag football. Sorry Mike!!
I also remember when Mike's father took us to the fifteenth precinct on Gration to see the lockup. The place was old [[even then) and smelled like a wine cellar. That was the first and last time I spent in jail.

Gosh girl, you had your kids young! Good for you! My kids are the best thing that ever happened to me, next to beating up my little brother! Hehehehe

I was a child bride.
Actually, not too far off. I got married at 19 and had my girls when I was 20 and 21. But, the oldest was born 14 months after I got married, so no counting on fingers.

I'm laughing out loud on this one. JCole, you didn't miss anything. Zitro is just being silly. I'll tell you, time plays tricks on the mind.

OK, Zitro, SIDEBAR!
