Don't get me wrong, NYC is a tough SOB place to survive but it is oh, so vibrant and exciting.<BR/><BR/>That said, Flushing was busy yesterday. I was there for lunch and the place was packed. But most of the festivities are shelved to next weekend. I plan to go out there to take some more photos.<BR/><BR/>Stay tuned.Ming the Mercilesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957918533010735599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-87464526617590899212009-01-27T00:48:00.000+09:002009-01-27T00:48:00.000+09:00really interesting. its always the last straw thin...really interesting. its always the last straw thing -usually not an isolated event but the final one of many. im on this meme too - i am on #2. like you, the questions were so hard i could only do one at a time.<BR/><BR/>i have never lived anywhere so culturally different and i think it would be a great adventure. i have read some of yours and ive always enjoyed that you have such a great sense of humor about it all. <BR/><BR/>looking forward to the next question.sparringK9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08031137344229440004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-55665125953335445822009-01-27T00:14:00.000+09:002009-01-27T00:14:00.000+09:00New York is all Duane Reades and Stabuckses now.

I can't go for long without a dirty water dog or an Italian ice.<BR/><BR/>Mona~ One day I will dicuss the reasons why I named my blog what I did, but for the time being let's just say that the paltry human that employed me could never force me to do anything.<BR/><BR/>Leelee~ She didn't ask that, but to tell the truth I was initially a bartender here for quite some time. The teaching was initially part time and only because I was a native speaker. It's been a long road learning my trade as I am sure you can understand, but I love what I do and I have gotten pretty good at it. It's even better than serving drinks!NYDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182735945473879595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-37373505978805264282009-01-26T22:37:00.000+09:002009-01-26T22:37:00.000+09:00I want to know how you got involved in education f...I want to know how you got involved in education from being a bartener/night manager.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if Lime included that as well...<BR/><BR/>just thinkin' out loud.<BR/><BR/>HUGS!!leeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659647396847327564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-83722399000067653962009-01-26T22:05:00.000+09:002009-01-26T22:05:00.000+09:00wow! did the owner kick you so hard that you actua...wow! did the owner kick you so hard that you actually flew & landed in Japan? <BR/><BR/>What a kick!<BR/><BR/>Is that what 'misplaced' you?Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-70528413997858211062009-01-26T21:10:00.000+09:002009-01-26T21:10:00.000+09:00Of course, in some ways New York is like a whole d...Of course, in some ways New York is like a whole different country, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21698605.post-81650299428690783372009-01-26T20:02:00.000+09:002009-01-26T20:02:00.000+09:00wow, the answer to the first question is certainly...wow, the answer to the first question is certainly quite a story. i am very much looking forward to the next one. thanks so much for joining in.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.com
