anybody hear the news yesterday about Sue Simmons saying the F word on the News? Can you remember long time ago others news figures said something wrong
I can remember one Mr. WeatherBee saying something about women when he was drunk got kicked off TV back in the 50's. anyone Else remember?
 foxrye 5-13-2008 11:48 PM
I didn't hear about Sue Simmons, but I remember MrWeatherBee - he said "when rape is inevitable, relax & enjoy it". It was (i think) in the late 70's or early 80's; he got fired for it, and never worked again, as far as I know.
He shoulda listened to Red Hook mothers: You watch ya mouth!

hi, just discovered this site today and i think its terrific. My family lived on Nelson between Court and Clinton. St Mary Star of the Sea was on the corner. I was born in 1953 and moved to Sheepshead bay in 1960. My dads family were the Russos and my moms family were the D'alessandros. They lived at 700 President St. does this ring a bell with anyone out there?

My condolences to Billy Donahue's family. He and I were cousins. When my mom passed we lost touch. His father and my mother were brother and sister. There were 10 Donahues born and raised in Red Hook.

Chinese auction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search
A Chinese auction is a type of raffle (actually a combination of raffle and auction) that is typically featured at charity, church festival and numerous other events. Other groups have named it tricky tray or pick-a-prize to avoid any possible racial overtones.
The difference between a raffle and a Chinese auction is that in a raffle with multiple prizes, there is one "hat" from which names are drawn, but in a Chinese auction each prize has its own "hat". This allows ticket buyers to choose which prize to focus on, as opposed to having a first, second, third, etc. prize.
In a Chinese auction, bidders are not prospective buyers (as in the conventional English auction). Instead, they buy tickets, which are chances to win items. Bidders may buy as many tickets as they like, and bid them on any item(s) they want by placing them in a basket or other container in front of the item(s) they are trying to win. At the conclusion of bidding, the winning ticket is drawn from the tickets bid on each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.
A bidder may increase the chance of winning by buying and bidding more tickets on a specific item. Although there is generally no limit to the number of tickets a given individual may bid on a specific item, the chance of winning depends on the total number of tickets bid by all individuals.
Chinese auctions of this type have become very popular on the Internet, with various websites offering a variety of items for auction[citation needed].
It is unclear whether this type of auction actually originates in China; it is much more likely that the term derives from "chance auction," which is also another name for this type of auction. The term "Chinese" may have been used in this case to convey that this type of auction was mysterious, intriguing, or secretive.
This type of Chinese auction is similar to the "silent auction," with the difference being that in the silent auction bidders submit bids listing specific amounts that they are willing to pay for a specific item.
In another auction variant, also referred to as a Chinese auction, though not really an auction at all, each participant contributes wrapped prizes of roughly the same value to a pool of prizes. Participants draw numbers to see who gets to choose a prize from the pool of prizes first. The second person may choose their prize from the remaining prizes in the pool, or may take the prize from the first person who chose. The third may take a prize from the pool, or from the first or second person and so on until all participants have chosen. People choosing prizes are not required to open them, so the prize contents may remain unknown to all but the contributor until all participants have chosen. (This version of the Chinese auction is also known as the Yankee Swap or White elephant gift exchange.

sister in-law and our children, good food and loving family what more can a mother want in life, to spend time with family and friends on a family day... :}
that's no lie
how many moms are probably isolated in their room, laying in bed all day, being spoon fed in diapers
and
and
on mother's day, the $oving $amily is there for her in case her cro$$ is too heavy
they can lighten the load for her with love and ki$$es, see ya, grandma, gotta go
oh, an irish auction
like an irish dinner
every item up for bid is
a six pack and a potato
lol
don't let anyone know i put this on the net

Hi Joe Militano,
My name was Elsie Kullen in those days.
Do you remember me? How are you.
We have reunions in the VFW Post from
time to time. Francis Campagna and
Harry Nespoli are in charge. There are
as many as thirty people who come to the reunion from the graduation class of 1953.. We had one not to long ago.

i remember always playing at different lots. we played at barschow junk yard down the end of dikeman st. great cars to pretend to drive. the other lot was done the end of coffey st by the water. we would swim there and play stick ball out in the street by the warehouse. there were also lots that we closed in by fences. one was on coffee between richard and van brunt. there was an old truck in there and a factory that made clay flower plots. there was also a lot on where the trolleys are stored now. the favorite lot was on coffey st. it was right behind bobby macdonald's house. it had a great big weeping willow,we would go around and find all the thrown out mattresses and drag them to the lot and jump out of the tree into the mattresses. we would listen for the 4:30 and 5:00 factory whistles to head home through the lots. lots of fun

The lot we hung out in was on Ferris St. between Walcott and King sts.
There was a big tree that has a rope tied to a branch. We used to be able to swing almost across the street on it.
