DaniDanielle Posted July 13, 2023 #98126 Share Posted July 13, 2023 We called Manhattan The City so non islanders made fun of that too. We were the forgotten Borough so never counted ourselves as part of The City. I didn’t think you would make fun of us😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, only Long Island counted My daughters refer to the Island as "The Rock". I don't know when they began referring to it as such, but Jim has also begun calling it The Rock. I am old fashioned. I always have, and always will, call our old home the Island. 18 minutes ago, DaniDanielle said: We called Manhattan The City so non islanders made fun of that too.

No other purchase is necessary. Wendy's too but you need to order something else. All orders must be placed thru their respective apps. Thanks for the info for everyone else.

Oct. 17 will be 10 years. Houston has horribly high humidity. Luckily, Dallas and surrounding areas have bearable humidity most times. We do get high temps like this week will be low 100s for days. 35 minutes ago, George C said: Even though I have been in Texas longer than I lived in New York City I still have my New York accent and feel at home when we visit .

I don't think you have missed an update, I didn't see one. When she was sick in the past, she did not post for a few weeks. I am hoping she went to the ER last night for help and is getting the care she sounded like she needed. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called and sounded better. OB, is it possible the radioactive injection from the pet scan can mess with pressure and stuff? 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
