I worked for secutiry in one of the Atlantic City casinos back in the 80's. I often worked back stage. Worst person - Danny Thomas the comments he made about the patrons and people there were outrageous and totally uncalled for. Best - Fats Domino A real teddy bear and sweetheart of a person with a sweet, lovely wife. It was a real pleasure to work with him and his group. I met many other stars in between, but - these were the most outstanding ones. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Year. -----Original Message----- From: PalmaG72@aol.com [mailto:PalmaG72@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 5:58 PM To: NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJ-Memories] New Subject I was listening to a talk show this morning - the subject was What Famous Person did you Meet and was this person not very nice to you - Yes - I wanted to shout - I did and an awful experience - he was not my dream man from that day on - Gordon MacRae the singer - he used to have a Saturday morning show on the radio for Teens - listened to him always - Yard's Dept Store in Trenton had a Girl's Teen Clothing Shop in their store - so they sponsored him coming to Trenton and doing a Stage Performance at the Lincoln Theatre - I got tickets for me and my friend Vivian - we went and then he announce he was going to give autographed Pictures on the stage and the exit was through the stage - by then one could not leave the way we came in it was a real stampede - when I got to the stage I tripped on the microphone wire that ran across the stage floor - right on top of him I fell - and what words came out of his mouth - I was a clumsy Blankety Blankety ( God's Name) B--ch ---------Never again would I turn his program on -I did see his movies later in the 1950's for I did love Doris Day who starred with him ------------So anyone else have any experiences - Marie G ' ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Hi All List Members, My wish for all of you is a very healthy , happy and prosperous year. Betty in New Jersey

We used to have open house for New years, played games, danced, and ate a lot of good food. I would make a large pan of lasagna, fix large platters of roast beef, ham, cheese, potato salad, cold slaw, pickles, olives (black & green), chips and dips long before they became the thing to eat. then at 6:AM we fixed Bacon, eggs, slices of ham, waffles, pancakes toast and any one who was still here would eat breakfast. I just wish I still had 1/2 the energy that I had then. lol Betty in New Jersey > > From: "Carl Suk" <csuk@kih.net> > Date: 2002/12/31 Tue AM 07:19:49 GMT+01:00 > To: > Subject: Re: [NJ-Memories] Re: Pork on New Years > > No Robin, > > I'm not making fun at you, just trying to stimulate some thought provoking > interest for everyone, Heck the list has been quiet over the holidays and we > need to get active. > > Y'all have a good New Year's.

Now I know why I have not seen squirrels at my bird feeder - they are in your pot pie -LOL -----------Marie G

You have given me a new idea about cooking and eating Greens for New Year's Day - Greens for that Greenstuff - I don't mean the overgrown lawn but those dollars and higher denominations -if we eat the greens we just may have an increase in our money ----------Marie G

Pat - My son in law says the same about Eating Chicken on New Year's Day - if you eat it you will be scratching all year for money -----Marie G

Hi Carl, It sounds like the Beverly Hillbillies. Your not making fun of me are you? The closest I have ever came to Beverly Hillibillies food is something I heard from one of my distant relatives. They told me that my great-great grandmother used to cook swamp rabbit. Her name was Amy Westcott Keen, My relative also told me that Swamp Rabbit was actually Muskrat. She would never eat it but her recipe was well know in Salem County, NJ. Robin -------Original Message------- From: Carl Suk Date: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 12:52:36 AM To: Robin M.

We have 90% or more Mexican in our neighborhood and every holiday they shoot off their guns. Plus, guns go off all the time when a drug deal goes bad. When my husband gets out of Police school we are out of here. We have been here since day one (16yrs.) I guess I am more reflective at new years. I personally pray and have a hope in my heart for the Lords return (The Blessed Hope) soon. Sorry to sound so down in the dumps. The happy part is waiting for the Blessed Hope.

Some friends of ours from Sunday school have invited us over for the evening. I gather that the whole Sunday-school class was invited. At midnight here in Colorado Springs you can see fireworks set off from the summit of Pikes Peak, provided it isn't overcast. Every year a group that calls itself AdAmAn hikes up there to do the fireworks thing. They've been doing it since back in the 20s or 30s; I don't remember the first year off the top of my head.

Hi, Is this a southern thing? My husband wants me to cook spinach or greens Carl might get a kick out of this. When my husband asked me to cook greens I replyed green what? He said greens. I said green what? Of course this went on for a while. Finally I said what gensus and species are we talking about? Well anyway I thought it was funny. I refuse to cook greens etc. I guess that is my northern side coming out. My inlaws think the Civil War is still going on.

Supposed to bring good luck and good health. My mom used to say if you ate chicken(fowl) on New Year's Day you would scratch (for a living?) all year. Down here it is pork and blackeyed peas for health and wealth. We will be having porkroast with saurkraut. May throw in some blackeyed peas for my husband.
