    Nothing specific. Really, just bait to see who’s out and biting. And trying to see if one person in particular is still out there.

    Are you?

    And trying to see if one person in particular is still out there

    let me guess: Blinquie?

    (Guess #2: Sacrilege)

    Boy, CB.. you are GOOD!

    Actually, Ms. Blink made a cameo appearance a few days ago, so she has been accounted for.

    But you are right, Ms. Sac appears to have dropped off the page. And so has Dr. Pepper.

    What triggered the though was my recent walk across the Bklyn bridge, and when I saw the waavy aluminum bldg, the conversation we had in GS last year came to mind

    Lets give it a day or two and see what develops.

    I have something interesting to report. I attended my first ever, upsherin on Sunday. I was very honored to have been invited and found it very interesting. Fortunately the young boy co-operated and kept smiling even though there was a long line of strangers (with scissors in their hands) just waiting to take a “snip” and pay the pushke. Thanks for letting me share.

    I asked for it. I suppose I should do more proof reading.

    Woah, things have been tough in the CR lately. Good thing we have a GS thread, as a place of refuge (or in my case, an Ir Miklat).

    And did anyone else notice that Oomis made a post this week? Welcome back, Oomis!

    #821392

    mod 72 and Dr. Pepper also made appearances over the last couple of days.

    where’s squeak?

    bpt- As I was passing by the Gehry Building (8 Spruce St.) this morning I also noticed the scaffolding around the Park Row Building including the two cupolas. I was wondering if they are making the cupolas up to current fire code standards so that we can move in (I’ll let you have the one close to the Brooklyn Bridge).

    Wouldn’t it be great to be the first ones to know when Squeaks “wagons” are in town?

    ” when Squeaks “wagons” are in town? ”

    Again with the wagons? Try as I may, I could not figure out what this was.

    The only thing of interest I see at the base of the bridge is the street artist making surreal paintings using spraypaint and a spatula.

    Cmon, please, tell me what the wagons are!

    BPT and Dr. Pepper – oh the nostalgia!! When I first found the CR this was the exact conversation going on and I remember feeling so left out and wishing I could be part of the ‘fun’

    #821396

    uh oh. here we go again.

    The last time the wagons were mentioned, Dr. Pepper vanished for 6 months and when he returned, squeak thought the Russians had launched a nuclear attack.

    #821397

    Syag,

    don’t feel left out – nobody knows what the wagons are besides for squeak and the good Dr. It would logically follow then that they should feel left out, not us, being that they are a tiny minority.

    I really miss Dr. Pepper, Sac, Blinky, Squeak, and Oomis. I keep wondering, what makes someone popular and missed; is it because their posts are interesting? Or because they disappear and make you wait and wait…and then reappear suddenly?!

    I think its a combination of all the above. And once they drop out, you realize how much spice and spirit they added to the place.

    That, and over the many posts, they share personal goals and challenges, which you wonder how they made out with.
