My friend 'Lo"

I met LO, in the 7th grade, some how we teamed up, and became partners in crime...We would met soon as we arrived at school,and take off for this path that led us to Subway. Of course we would not make it there until, the munchies set in..lol We would take a detour, for another place known to others as the 'Woods'...See our high School, and Jr High were on the same portion of land. So Seniors, and Jr.s could meet .. I would see my older friends at times there.. So anyway 'Lo' and me were a Team.. and once these 2 new girls came into our "turf.. and started to pick on Lil ' Lo. She was too, she had glasses, and frizzy hair, and wrinkles on her forehead already.. and so, they were picking on her, and they wee mean!! They came form Flatbush Ave , Brooklyn.. And head fake nails on, and make-up..Scary.. Well, one day walking through the 2nd level of the Hallway, I called her out.. and man she ripped this mink coat she was wearing and grabbed my hair, so fast, un benouced to here, I was quicker, I through punches, taking her down , and with that she bit my EAR!!! ripped it halfway off, I only got madder!! I belted her.. down , when I was grabbed around the neck, by a teacher, who, with another teacher grabbing her off of my ear.. Had gotten us separated.. They put us in to separate rooms, with glass in between us.. and we were growling at each other, I basically bleeding,,  and thinking 2 more seconds, I should have tossed her thru  the window... ( with that I told my older brother that way after I was home, and he was like "Ya and I would be visiting you in an Asylum"...), So, with that wisdom, I felt that sticking up for Lo,  and only that, was just enough. I went to the Doctors, and boy, that was Painful!!! I was mad!!!, and the next day they moved back to Brooklyn... She, whoever she was, was 3 weeks pregnant!! She should have made friends on first few weeks, she chose to start trouble.. Well, lo and I got on with life, grubbing,money and copping, and selling, and so forth, we, would hitchhike to her moms after school, and go hang out in her streets uptown .By the Train Station. I would meet my other friend Lynn, and her and I would go to our friends.. hoses, Partying.. I said you are to close to the  Train, Lynn, One day I am going to get on that thing and Go!!!! Well, we did , many a times. We would go to the City, Penn Station, and go up town...42nd Street, and just walk, till we found someone to help us out... We always did, and we would roll a joint on the train , and smoke it um, all the way home... Not any more..lol So, we would be hero's, when we got home. I can't believe the days of old, I have found out that Lo was dead,,, years ago, It was in the paper, my friend Lisa told me, she was shot to death in a park, bad drug deal -gone wrong.. I was so sorry to hear that, I was trying to find her, online.. I was not having luck, now I know why.. Okay, talk 2 u 2morrow...

Mills Path...


Well, we moved to Ronkonkoma... about 45 minutes to New York City. From Levittown,which was a great neighborhood too!! This was an Old Indian Reservation. Our house was a pretty big 4 bedroom 3 bath huge Lv,n Dn room.. and a Den, my Mom was so into lime green, our Shudders were lime green, our carpet through out the house, was too.. It was Hip..We had a subscription to Columbia House, so we had this great Album collection.. Janis, Lee Michael's, Led zeppelin, you name it.. I was into David Cassidy, even got to see him in Concert !!My Aunt , the one whom would take me to Queens often , just her and I would go out looking for the Son of Sam.. how crazy, he shot someone she new. Anyway, we had a beautiful home, and lots of places to roam around, the Gibbs Pond, The Corner, we all meet at and then get our beer, and smokes, at the Deli, and go to the most inner parts of this Patch of woods called Mills Path, where we dug this huge hole, and put stumps around and we would light this Big fire, and Party!!!, One guy would get his Van down there, and put these big speakers on  top of it, playing Rock-n roll!!! Pink Floyd, Yes !! We would stay out till after midnight, then the couples would go, or be in The House, -the Lee-He house... upstairs was lovers lane, downstairs was the party level, it was haunted too. So, after a I started hanging with my older sister, I was welcomed into the cooler crowd. Plus, I had stuff they wanted...lol,, lots of it too.. I always had money, from the babysitting, and cleaning I did, plus, I had connections, to  Older friends who entrusted me.....  So, with that, I remember, being the last  person w/ my sister, we had no curfew.. so we would linger , and then walk home , at all hours..  our parents would either be sleeping, or reading, and ask us if we had fun?, we would murmur, yes, and they would say Goodnight.. .and that was our nights out... every night for years...I had the best up-bringing,aside my one brother, things were ok, so long I stayed...well, so long..as..lol and I did.. let your imagination run away.. okay, so, I was hanging out with a girl, and we would ride around,for hours, and I told you about that period in my life, then I hung out with this guy, and were notorious for stealing things... lots of things.. at the mall, oh yeah, and the Mini -bikes, through the paths at all hours of the day.. It seems so col to remember how long the days were... My one girlfriend, had a boyfriend, and they would come and pick me up. He had this cool yellow mustang , and we would ride around alright, and the last I heard of the Mustang, was they were going pretty fast down the dirt road,in Mills path and the drive-shaft fell out digging a hole in the ground so deep, and flinging the car up in the air, and down!! My girlfriend and I  had been hitchhiking all over Long Island, we would hook up with some of her older pretty friends, and hitch 20 30 miles to the beaches.. barefoot all the way!! Montawk Point... they were 'suit' worthy, I wore shorts.. So we,would do that ,get home all tan, and go to the corner,meet everyone, I would my dealings and go to the "hole"..I remember, my Brown Fringe Jacket , my Aunt gave me, and my boots I would tuck my jeans into, and a Pouch that hung on my hip, filled with goodies..nobody ever questioned it..I have pictures of me, and my mom.. with it in plain site...It was stolen, while I was at work, down in Florida..which is a whole nother chapter.. okay I will pick this up later... cuall 2morrow!!

To All.. Please forgive me for my Spelling, etc..

I actually do use the spell check, ,but I re-read what I have Posted, and it cuts my sentences off,, as well.. Enjoy!!

I went to the Dentist...today:

I had this App.t for weeks. I have been around the Mulberry or two involving these to Front Veneers. About ten years ago my dear older brother, saw I was trying to fix my smile. He lives Way up North, in New York. So, like I was saying he, being a Dentist, I thought I would go see him, and let him check out what more  the braces I had on could do. Well, he pulled those off, and said He had a plan for me. They are Hollywood Teeth!!! Veneers , all of your mouth!! I was like, I don't want Horse Teeth.... I don't want Chiclets either.. and no green teeth.. He kept saying No, No No.. Okay well, 9 weekends later , give or take.. I fly back up there,( over the Adirondacks in a Prop Plane.. A  Puddle Jumper.. Yikes!! ) I am up side down in his Chair, and he is shooting needles into my gums like CRAZY!!! I am snoozing, I just don't mind the OverHaul" as I refer to a trip to  a Dr's, or Dentists, so forth. He even, could not believe my pain tolerance. I heard him say I need more Patients like you... Okay, so, by  1/2 the days end, he's pulling all the Temporaries off.. tugging and pulling, and more needles, !! Then, He gets the box of my new teeth, right? He goes to put one - ONE in its place , and it is to small... a Chiclets !!! Yuk.. I was turning all colors.. Well needless to say, he only let me see that one and , started to put more needles in my gums, and I was like how much of that can a person do in a day? He said 2400 milligrams.. I was like how much have I had? Reply:  2300milligrams!!... And with that he and he assistant proceeded to put on my Temporary teeth, I was going to wear for 3 more weeks until, the Nevada Institute, ships us the right ones.. Boy how he prouded over there  work.. Well, Okay So I fly home , and back up.. The day comes. They Are right, and they are Pretty. I was so Thank-full. Well,  now I am in debt. with this Bank for 6,500 dollars. Yes I had to pay for the Teeth, but not all the Labor, which was alot.. But I had insurance through my company, and he used it where he ...used it. We will leave it at the. I am trying to get to a bigger point!! So,  a
year goes by, and I am so saddened by what evolves in my life, the last year at that Cult church in Sterling Va. I decided to take a left turn, and plunge into the depths of darkness. I was so alone, and the ppl. I had in my life,pretty much were very rude , cold, and unloyal. I knew what kept me occupied, and took the blues away...... And so away I went.. I dated a nice guy , who had a Harley and some other nice  things, and we did not last, but the first bar I hit, after that I ordered a Jim Beam and Diet Coke, and grubbed a cigeratte!!That went on , and on ... I met a guy, and we were both on a suicide mission.. we hooked up, and partied... Well, a year into this.. heres where the Teeth come in to play... I happened to break the one on the left!!in half!! Then a week later the other side of the top left side broke.. Well, I am a problem solving fool... lol, I tried everything, and then I found crazy glue..Yep, and Acrylics Nail mix, and statred to form my own 2 Insisors.. Meanwhile, I look horrible, so int the depths I do dwell , even harder!!Years go by, I mange to stay out of the lime-light of hair. I did not work, or I did interior Landscaping, and Partied. That went on through the next few years. I ended up losing my home. Having to move, like 4-5 times before I am where I am now. Thus bringing me to the many times I went for help on my teeth. I was here a year, and showed back up on the Hair Stylist Tracks again, and with that I received some Dental Benefits. I went into this Clinic, and after a few years of hunting for help, this Dentist, started drilling and drilling, she made me 2 new posts OMG!!! I was so amzed I wanted to tip her, she put 2 temps on, and Iwas so sure this nightmare was over!!! NOT!!! The very next day the right one cracked and broke up right in my mouth... Boo-Hoo!!! I was astonished, and called the office, saying just what happed, and that I had made tteeth at home that lasted longer. Well, that @#@#%$^ said she would not want to work on my mouth any longer untill, I agreed to do root canal work...!! Iwas like root canals? I had 9 of them in one w/e w my brother?? whats left? I just need a cover for the exposed POST!!! NO, NO she kept saying it to will break, as well as the other one.. I need to do $3, 000 dollars worth of work verses the $415.00 we argeed on previously. Thats all the whole office kept saying,( well 2 years go by, and I am still wearing the on temp.. so that proves that the !) she put on the right was defective, and all I needed was a .20 cent piece of plastic for the other side, but NO.. Which brings me to the other Dentists here in town, Quoteing me thousands of Dollars for 2 flipping teeth.. I went the clinic  because of my Finances... So, I call Richmond ,School of Dentisrty,,,Wow, big mistake, BIG mistake... I waited months for that App.t, and I drove, my bomby lil car, an hour away, in the rain, and find a parking meter, and run up to the place, and get in line with a million others, and pay my fee $65.00 bucks.. Waiting with such excitement!!! But to what.. 4 Know-it All Dentists, with Pride as big as the state of New York.. the first 3 were making there rounds to us 4 people they cattled in to cubicles, and sat us in chairs. Sticking thier fingers in our mouths. By the fourth Dr, he had seen my mouth full of Veneers, and immediately said, we cannot work on you. We are a School, and have to take on the Full responsibility of your mouth!! Oh good for you... I was like, no you don't , I just want to front insisors, and I will sign and agreement!!He was so adamant, and I stood up knowing that defective personality, they think makes them king, but, I see it as Malchovinistic, and Prideful, controlling,personality Disorder.. I tore my thingy off, just cursing him and my brother.... I said so you got my money, and now you wont treat me,  I am fully disgusted, and to his face Pissed..and so, I go out with a bang... I am stopped by this little voice saying you want a refund?   Uh... Well, yaeh, that would be nice, well, she must keep the peace there, because it was wihtin seconds, she appeared, so I gave her my card, and they reversed the monies. I get outt of there in tears, I called home, crying... All I wanted... Well, you know by now.. 2 front Isisors... Needless to say, The next day I woke up with the worst case of Strep Throat!!! My throat was fir engine red!!! I know where I got that from... They were a nightmare!!! I put the warning out to you... So, I get home and did I tell you that my dad got wind of that loan I took out w my brohter.. and told me to Quit paying it? Well, I did a few years earlier.. and my brother, has not spoken to me since then.. its been a few years !! Okay, See, my Dad, put him through colleges, but he seems to have forgotten, I remeber he would call the house, and ask if Daddy was home?, and then say okay Pat, when he gets home you need to ask him to send me $5300 bucks for the next semester, and I would get all bug eyed, and say "you call Daddy and ask him for $530000 dollars,,I was 18 years old.. I know he worked too, but He was going to Courtland U,  then,and then ClemsonU, and then NYUof Dentistry,and then 8 years at Rochester.. Needless to say he has his Masters Business... and teaches students to do what he does.. at like 70,000  bucks a semester.. do u think he needs money?? well, anyway, It took that trip to Richmond, to find my bro. on Fb, and send a little message.. which has not amounted to anyhting.. Zip nothing nada!! So, I called that Clinic again, and asked who the dentist was and to my surprise it wasa different one!!! So, I made the appt weeks ago, and I thought I would just go and humble myself, and let them see the defective teeth, and ther I would be walking out w my front teeth.. No, they had my files, and notes, and this Torture afflicting Dentist treated me like a pile of Dog &*$# I was so upset crying telling him my story, and he opened my mouth, and took a piece of floss, and just put it on the one temp I had left, and I heard him say OOPs, gone, popped out, I was like, what?, half hearted, because that only meant when it hit the floor, I was aleast going home w one new tooth right? NOPE< he told me he wanted to: I was like your kidding, I did not even get 3 words out, and he was already showing signs he was insulted, and He held the upper hand here not me.. I started to cry so hard, and he said get urself to gether I am going to another patient.. He then told his ass.t to find my lost tooth off the floor,!!!!!!!!!! I was in shock.. I was like he is not going to put that back in my mouth 5-10 minutes after it has been thrown, flicked whatever,on there floor? Yep, that my freinds made me feel, so humilated, raped, tortured, by a County HealthDept. Worker!! He even put it in a little off, and said you crazy glued this i? I said Yes, a couple of time, I knew it was on its last leg, and now this has to go a nother leg....there you have it.. My day wasted again.. I have another appt. w/ a real dentist, next week, and I am going to pay what ever.. I justam still in shock how they sent me off form thatplace... Greedy... $#%^&#crooks...

Isreal, and Rome...

I had a Cam-corder, It is an old fashion movie camera. I used it everywhere I traveled to. So all 29 of us boarded the Plane for Rome, and Israel. Soon as this plane left American Soil, the smokers started lighting up!!! It was truly the 1st smoke less flight I had ever gone on. It was horrible.. I was so distracted by the odor, every second, click , click.. I am the worst reformed smoker ever!! So, we get to our destination and Hotel, and we are going to go on tour in a Tour bus along the Hi-ways of Italy!!! My Family is from Italy.. I was just fascinated. We,spent  5-6 days there, and then we were to be on our way to Tel-viv.. to walk where Jesus walked ! In -credible!!!! So, I will get to that later too.. We, had our fill of Tel-aviv , and we were in the airport ready to get on the bus that takes you to the plane , right? I remember as we were waiting and gathering, these 2 guys with turbans get on board, carrying these long, black sacks, the kind you carry soccer balls in, holding on tight to them to there chests. When outta no where some says I wonder what they a have in there? And some woman with  her accent says BOMBS, they probably have Bombs OOH No I said No, that's  getting extreme, being I am an American, I had seen the lighter side of those blk bags...being she has lived and breathed her Country full of 'That " she was for real!!! Well, Thank-God the Airlines had there eye on them too!!! We had 29 ppl. and I was thinking we could tackle them, if we had to, so I started to film the deputy;s outside the plane talking, and then they boarded also. Well, these 2 guys, were wreaking havoc, They began to Yell, and curse at me and  another lady, she understood them, and told me not to look at them, and She said "If I were you I would move, they don't like you .. I was not offended. I have brothers and sisters, and friends that did like me either, so I just moved back a row to the last seat in the plane,next to the Asst Pastor. We chatted, about these guys , and they were stripping down to bare skin, and I was filming them, and they were blowing smoke in the passengers faces, and going around looking for things to take, So I put the camera down in my carry-on, and watched, them .. They sat down when food was being served, and when they received there tray, they slammed it under the seat, and began ranting again, around and around, I rose up, and told Pastor, I was going to the bathroom, and I hoped when I came out there was no wholes in the side of the plane..lol,,,,Well, when I came back out, I noticed the cabinet door open above my head, and asked why? Pastor said look,motioning over to the right, he said they had them guys hand-cuffed, and sedated, leaning over the flight-attendants seats, Pastor, said the Sodium-panathyol, and needles were above my head, and all in the moment I was gone , they got real,perverted, and the Marshall's seen, ...they finally took action.. Yes I still have the VHS tape. I need to get it on a DVD, and send it to the FBI.. lol So, with all that, we spent a nother 2 days in a "5 star Hotel in Roma" With roaches so big, you could see them crawling on your pillow in the moon lite... Yuk!!! Huge.  I was roomies with 2 ladies from Jericho,Israel,who were American citizens. They woke up, just slammed their flip flops on them. I still see them in there bare feet n nite-gowns killing these big bugs.  Well , aside the fact I found out a Mocha Cappiciano was invented in Europe, well,Rome anyway,. I tried to order one and sue and I got a cup of pudding mix before it is refrigerated..lol horrible.. cu2morrow!!

I remember, a trip to Isreal, and Rome....

I was in a Born Again Church for about 10 years. I was so Happy to be found, and know the key to Life and Joy. I just was released form a 6 year Sentence, in which I did 7 months.  I had a lot of reading, and a lot circumstances practicing my new found Faith. Well, when I was released,on Feb 14th 1990,at mid-night, It was the greatest feeling in the world. I rode home with a guy I had been seeing for 4 years. It was his Mom, who led me to the Lord. I know it was God, because she was old, and ,I was not very receiving of the information she was telling me, all those years. Then one day.. it hit me, That was the answer, to lifes problems. It had to be.... I went to Church with her and went up to the Alter, and right after confessing my heart to a deacon, and soon after Church was out, I would get in my car and light up.. what ever I had. I got busted within the year, and I was sentenced to the term, Here is where I really realized , I was going to be totally depended on God. I even Quit smoking cigerattes in Jail, 2 months after I got there. 3 months befroe the Non-Smoking Law went into affect!!! If it is any where you need a cigarette its in there. But I did... I knew I could do the time, I had Peace!!! Joy, and a future... I really probabley would be dead, so I was happy.. Well, tons of stories came outta that place!!!  Isreal,

Into the Mohave Desert !!!!!!..

I had moved to Los Angeles,Calif. to live with my Dad. It was 1981, I had left Northern Va. again, to go and get  a fresh start in life. Or so I thought, so , My older sister and had a moving company pack us up, and we flew to LA. A few days later our stuff would be there. I was  a 20 years old, and I landscaped, and roofed, and I also had been an Office Manager , for the roofing company,when I left. So, finding a job was not going to be hard... Yeah right. Well, the landscaping crews out there were a lot different there, then in Va. There were cracks made about me being a girl, and the nasty comments just kept going.. I ran a crew back East , and the guys were truly pretty considerate of me. I pulled my weight, and they seen that so they were just eager to get to know me, rather then cut me down, or harass me. So, I jumped around from job to job. In the meanwhile, I had this friend Al, who had moved to Arizona years prior, so I called him up to say  hello, and it ended up, me making plans to visit him. I thought I would just make a day trip of this and It was around the Beltway. I even asked this old timer that lived across the street, how far he thought it was.. Buckeye Ariz. , and he said 5 hours. Another person said 6 hrs. and I heard 10 hours, but I did not take head to that. I just said to AL, I would lv at 3pm, and to expect me. I had 24 dollars, and a 3/4 ton PU truck, I had just bought, and had painted Black, with no radio, yet. I had 3 gas tanks, and I had them filled up. I had a couple packs of cigarettes, and left. Well, some 200 miles into this, I was seeing signs- Not to over heat for the next 10 miles up!!! Well, Fords were notorious for that in those days, and another one saying Dead mans river, and snake Ravine Way... I was like Holy Crap!!!. Oh, and the Arizona State Prison... Those signs read.. Do Not pick up hitchhikers...lol, then it dawned on me , Escapees!! I had a pick-up bed, and my window  clamp to lock it was broken.. Anyway, it was getting dark, and I just kept driving... I finally got to Al's home , at 1 am.. I said I will have 1 beer, and a cup of coffee to go!!! I wanted to drive the majority of those 10 hours in the day!!! I had no music so every ping n ding coming from the truck, made me stay on hi-alert, since I had only owned the truck a few  weeks if that. I was determined to get home during the day. I needed money, and he only had 4.00 dollars, he gave it to me. So, we chatted, on why his wife n kid left, she was my best friend, shes one of the 1st people I met when we moved from New york to Va. So, we said our Good-byes, and I was off.. Well, I drove through the Mohave Desert again, in the night, I hit Palms Springs and all my tanks were on E.... So, I stopped at a gas station , knowing I had 256 miles to go, I had no cigarettes and no gas.. I put the $4 bucks in my tank, and asked the lady, if she would take my Title to the truck, and my license, for some gas, and I would come back 2morrow, with what I owed her. She said she would have to ask her Manager, who was due in any moment. So , I sat on the curb right outside the door, and waited. Well , just then a cab pulled up, and the driver got out, and started to put this awesome leather piece of luggage down right in front of me, and then 2 more pieces came out of the trunk, and just then this Bette Midler look a like, and loud mouth Red head get out of the cab, she saw me, and some how, I ended up telling her I had 3 tanks, and none of them had gas enough to get me to Southern La. well, with that she said if " you get me to Hollywood I will fill those tanks up, and by you smokes" I was like no problem!!!  Well, in  few minutes, we were on our way !!! What a break... We, never made it to Hollywood, she had a friend in a town right next to where I lived with my dad, but we ended up a this bar drinking, and shooting Pool, and tying cherry stems with our tongues and winning bets. We had a blast, and we ended up best friends for the next 9 months...

Elementary School...

It was the end of my 6th grade year, and I had some pretty bad habits... My friend Cheryl , and I were notorious for Smoking in the girls room. We had our Love BabyFresh, Perfum, and  when everyone else was in class we would raise our hands ,to be able to go to the girls room. We would roll a joint, and smoke it really fast, and then smoke a cigarette.. and spray a lot of Perfum, then go back to our classroom.
    Then , when it was time to go out to the play ground, for Recess, we would go to the farthest point of the grounds,where the fence came to a point , on Portion Rd.. and huddle and smoke.
    My Best firend and I, the one I took off for Florida with, used to walk  t this school, just so we could smoke, and eat our canned Chef Boyardee. This is when we planned on buying a Winnobago Camper, and I would drive and she would narrate.  Our destination was the Keys,  Florida. Our goal was to hop on a Cruise Ship, and be come waitress' for the rest of our lives.  I might have mentioned that....
      So, by 7th grade: My new best friend Terry , and  I were hanging out. All summer we were at the drinking hole,  Mills Path, Partying!!  I had been baby sitting, and cleaning these  homes, as I watched the kids.. The women, were so impressed, they would pay me like $60.00 bucks extra.. So I would be putting this extra money in an incense box, and I remeber at one time it was up to 3,000 dollars!!! I always had money and things, and dope.. I used to have so much 'stuff' my room was so cool. I would arrange these wooden, and marble stash boxes around my room, filled with Pipes, and papers, allkinds of stuff. No one would touch them, except my older sister.. I had this one lady I babysat for, she was a good 30 minutes away. I would get out of school a lot of times, because she would come in so late from her Barmaid job, and not want to take me home, so she would call in for me , the next day. I would stay there and wake up with 3 kids, and get stoned, and feed them breakfast, and stay with them till she got up.. I would end up going into her stash, that I found in a big Apple cookie jar, that is when I did have any at all. She would leave me ther some nites , and I would put the kids to sleep real late, and play Elton john-yellow brick road, so loud.. I had a blast!! Then, sometimes she would come home after midnite, and wake us all up, and we would have to pack these lil kids 4,3, and nikki 15 months old, and put them in the car, and drive me home in the dead of winter.. ugh.. Those kids were truly like mine.. I taught keith how to write, and graig,  I potty trained , and nikki I taught how to say words, plus a lot more.. They were so sweet.. and cute.. So, anyway. She was having an affair with the lead singer of the band, at her Bar, and soon became pregnant, and I  don't remeber what happened, but she did not need me anymore.. I wonder where they all are.. I try to Facebook them, but no use.. Okay I will be back later..
