Bored out of my mind with nothing to do. You couldn't talk, only read or do homework. When lunch came it was a biiiig thing! I don't wish it on anyone! Hi Jim! Missed ya! Where's Donna and Nancy Z?

Things got so negative it wasn't worth reading or posting here, but maybe now we can have a new begining. For those of you that Remember Kay K and her daughter LLean the last time I talked to her on the phone things were going well for both of them. She did report to me that her brother who was battling cancer had passed away. All though it's been a few months since I've spoken to her if you are reading this Kay I hope you and your daughter are doing well.Terry talking about albums and turn tables which I just recently got rid of a menber of our community still has his whole collections of 8 track tapes. Not only that he has a player that works and still listens to them. How cool is that. I believe he has about 200 of them which takes up the whole side of one room in his house. lol lol Times and things sure have changed since I was a kid. It wouldn't surprise me that in the next few years that someone will invent an earing that that you will be able to download songs on so you won't have carry an Ipod or wear ear plugs to listen to your music.

On my last trip to Attleboro I wanted to see it again and couldn't remember exactly where it was.

Just thought that I would let you know that after a 122 in. snow season, setting a few records, the snow has finally cleared and we are able to move about the yard. We have our drive way back. All snowbanks are gone! I am in the southern part of the Lakes Region and all is clear. Amazingly the flooding we have seen in the last two years has not happened yet. Though as the northern part of the state thaws out I am sure we will see some rising rivers. So Mother Nature has been kind to us over the last couple of weeks. The robins are looking for juicy worms and the maple syrup is running. What better way to welcome Spring!

And if you're not wise cracking then you can join these other morons who get a kick out of posting idiotic responses to other people's entrys. The internet sure has made several cowards crawl out from under rocks and flex their imaginary mouth muscles. The funny thing is that any normal person who has a brain can see right through these negative or devil advocate type responses and tell right away that no one listens to them in the real world so they have to put down other people via the internet. It's amusing and pathetic at the same time. Kind of like erectile dysfunction.

I got to know him well while working at Jarrod's Place and you couldn't ask for a nicer man. He always yelled "Ron" whenever I walked in and always was a great person talk to. He was a good listener and totally down to earth. We had our share of many good times. I wish I could have been there to offer my condolences to Linda,Greg,Sue,Mark and Jarrod personally.

Hillary Clinton having an advantage over Obama in the presidential race because she is white. Obama's minister said "Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home. Barack was," Wright says in a video of the sermon posted on YouTube. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary! Hillary ain't never been called a 'n!gg*r!' Hillary has never had her people defined as a non-person." In other sermons Obama's Rev. Jeremiah Wright the former member of Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee also stated. "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," he said. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant. Because the stuff we have done overseas has now brought right back into our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.""A sermon from Wright shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorism attacks is also under scrutiny. In it he said America had brought on the attacks with its own practice of terrorism". Obama rejected the statement only after the Senator's relationship with the extremist was made public. Careful on what sort of change Barack is promising. " Gailann Newton wrote on Feb 27, 2008 10:30 AM: " Good Morning Attleboro! Digging out from yet another snowstorm. This one left us with about 8 more inches of this fluffy white stuff. I am no longer amused. Our record of snowfall has been broken. Concord, NH has received an official 100" of snow.
I was lucky enough to have traveled down to South Attleboro last weekend. I have to tell you that the new gas station at the church intersection on Rte.1 was a sad sight to my eyes.

As Lynne Cullen has stated the park was clean and a wonderful place for dogs to socialize as well as their owners. I only used the park twice as my dog does not follow commands well and it was not fair to the other well behaved dogs to deal with him. Hence, he needs to be on a leash and I decided that was best for him. Debbie and Heather have done everything that they were asked to do in order to ensure that all requirements were met. But I would like to propose another scenario here. Since I live on Neponset Resevoir and it is a year round place of activity should I have the right to sue the town because I wake up at 4:00am in the Spring to hear men/women fishing right outside my windows and talking like it is noon time? Should I get angry and go before the Selectman and demand that the boater's in the summer cease their boating at darkness because it disturbs me? What about the snowmobile riders who choose to ride across the ice at all hours of the day and night? NO way! We have been a community of people working out issues together or at least that is the way it used to be...before some Selectmen decided they knew best. Sad day for Foxboro. " lynnecullen wrote on Feb 15, 2008 10:29 AM: " I just want to post how disappointed I am with the closing of the Foxboro Dog Park. To Heather and Debbie, thank you for all your efforts. For those of us that used it, what a wonderful way to meet new friends and have our dogs exercise and socialize. For the record, I never heard excessive barking nor did I see unsanitary conditions. I was told that before the dog park, it was a teen hangout with vandalism. Debbie and Heather brought in new picnic tables and we were talking about new plantings. Fresh pine bark was brought in, smelled better than any yard I know! The most noise I heard was from the Gun Club and the neighbor that continued to harass everyone with his vulger language. Now with the allegation that a child was bitten, very funny no record, nothing submitted to the police or dog officer. Somthing does not smell right to me and it is not the dog park.

That is the only thing I don't like about living here (well, besides the high cost of living, no decent pastrami, or clamcakes, or stuffies...but I digress). It was soooo slick here Tuesday night the rain falling on my umbrella FROZE ON CONTACT! In my whole life as a New England girl, I NEVER had a frozen umbrella! It was sooo bad around here, even Robert Gates fell on his home walkway and broke his shoulder! I almost went down myself a few times, and FOX News was filming people falling down about 2 blocks from where I work in Arlington. It took me 3 hours to get home, and its only a 90 min commute! I'll take traction in snow ANYDAY...my complex was a sheet of ice when I finally got home after 9PM. And FYI - the scary people only come out when it's bad...must be some kind of thrill-seeking thing? It was plenty thrilling alright...!

This winter has been a skier's lucky year and for those of us with snowmobiles, it is wonderful also. However, enough, is enough!! At one point in December, the snow was up to my window sills! Just crazy. The snow banks are up over 7feet high. Whew! I miss Attleboro, but from the looks of it, it may be July before I get back there. More snow coming tomorrow. I can hardly wait.

Everybody is taking their cheap shots at us(look what Terry wrote), and it's been very hard to hear them all gloat. I do think it was a good game, but right now it still hurts. I think your approach to life is very optimistic, and maybe I should try it for myself. Anyway, thanks again! As for Terry, I'm sorry people are giving you a hard time. I know what it feels like. The radio and television stations are still talking about it! You'd think during the primaries yesterday they'd be through talking about the Pat's but on my way to vote yesterday it was still the biggest topic! Maybe Donald's right.

I didn't say that I was a Raven's fan--God Forbid--I have been a Patriot's/Red Sox fan for many years now. Yes, I feel the same way--but FOOTBALL IS ONLY A GAME, and not worthy of getting sick over. I take every day with a "grain of salt", and try to be as happy and free from stain-and-stress as possible. So please don't think that I was demeaning anyone about that GAME. Furthermore, it will go down as one of the best ever--we should all enjoy it--in time. " bglass84 wrote on Feb 5, 2008 8:54 PM: " Donald,
After reading a comment on a different page the same day you wrote to me, where you described how you felt about the Raven's losing(you said it was "gut wrenching" among other things), why did you write such harsh words to us in New England?

It's been chilling a little longer than usual, that's all. I'd love to say congratulations to the Giants, but I'm too heart broken right now. Maybe in a decade or two I could. I really don't care about winning records. I just wanted them to win so badly. Maybe if there hadn't been so much at stake, it would've been a little easier to lose.

After all, 17-0 is a lot better than 18-1 mathmatically. But of course, I believe Houdini returned for a couple plays to assist Mr. Manning, and the coach didn't get to red-flag those plays.

Some were sold in clusters of 20 with a single fuse (Called "Chinese" for some reason) while others were sold as singles in packs of 20. They were 2 inches long with a 1 inch fuse. Ready? Blow on the PUNK and light the fuse. Toss it towards the feet of your pal and never into the air around people.
There also were 5 inch firecrackers that were placed inside topless cans with bottomsides up. When these were lit, you could count on a 10 to 20 foot high propelled rocket (can). We also had those meatball size aluminum paper wrapped explosives that were best used in the tunnel at the railroad station or while walking under the Park St rairoad arch.
Then young and old would gather at Capron Park in the evening for the band concert and crackerjacks, followed by the fireworks. This was years before television and the Boston Pops display on the 4th. " lonicutter wrote on Jan 24, 2008 3:01 PM: " Yes, it DID smell like the dog, lol!

On Sunday afternoons, me and a buddy used to shimmy up the pipe on the side of the school over near the tennis courts and jump down into the courtyard where the doors were always unlocked into the building. We would run through the halls with the janitor chasing us. We'd have to be careful not to end up at one of those locked gates going across the hall. Of course, back then, there were no surveillance cameras or electronic door passes. We never did any damage, we just ran for the fun of someone chasing us. We would usually end up hiding underneath the stage in the auditorium until we could sneak out of the front door. The funniest part about it was that, both my buddy's parents were teachers at AHS at the time, so, he was really taking a chance running around there. I hope by now that Bruce has found the attention that he so longed for from his parents...or maybe he is still taking chances? " terry bosh wrote on Jan 14, 2008 5:25 PM: " OK, Thank you.

Just past La Salette, down off of Wilmarth, they called that "CB City" because of the vast number of houses that had huge towers with beam antennas sticking out from their roofs and backyards. It became an ego trip and they all began adding power to their signals to talk over one another. The competition got so fierce amongst them that many upgraded their equipment with power amps and other electronics that would allow them to "key over" the others. That would last until the other neighbor went out and bought a bigger antenna with a bigger amplifier. My Dad and I would drive down through that neighborhood just to see all of the huge moonrakers and quad antennas all pointed at each other. Many a neighborhood relationship was ruined with that as no one within a mile radius could watch their TV sets without a CB radio coming through it.

Happy New Year to all. " lonicutter wrote on Dec 30, 2007 11:34 AM: " Back in 1971 when the new Schaefer Stadium opened, my parents bought 5 season Patriot tickets. We sat in the first 5 seats of the first row in the first endzone section, right where the Patriots came out of the locker room to warm up. For years during football season, our family spent Sundays tailgating in Foxboro. At 9am, my Ma would start cooking inside the camping trailer that we pulled up there with the Malibu, while me and my Dad would play catch in the parking lot. Jim Plunkett never fulfilled our expectations but we didn't care. So what if they lost every week? So what if it rained and snowed? So what??? We were making family memories with OUR NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS! Well, my Dad is gone now and my Ma isn't cooking too much these days down in FLorida. Dad didn't get to see Tom Brady play or hoist any of the Lombardi Trophies over his head...but it doesn't take away from all those great times that we sat on that cold aluminum bleacher seat and talked with John Hannah and Leon Gray while they stretched out before the game. For all of you Patriot fans who never got to go to a game in the old staduim: Enjoy Tom and the trophies for now, because it hasn't always been like this and it won't stay like this forever. Mr. Kraft: Thank you for being one of the old-time, original fans! " Gailann Newton wrote on Dec 24, 2007 4:43 PM: " Merry Christmas to all my family and friends in the Attleboro area.

With ice and snow around
We've shoveled and cleared
All walks and drives
And I still can't see the ground.
I've done the calculations
With help from the Internet
Our weather history is clear
Temperatures are documented
But I don't see the ground just yet.
I've heard debates, both pro and con
About what mankind's harming
While researchers study atmosphere
Down here, we're still huddling
Against this "global warming".

Just contact the Boston Globe or Boston Herald and you will see the cuts he made to most if not all Human Services. Mass Health care for all! That one is on the backs of the small business ownes.

" kevin wrote on Dec 13, 2007 9:12 AM: " I think that Mitt Romney is a great man and would make all Americans proud if he were president. As Governor he did the best he could to control taxes, limit spending, reduce the loss of entry level jobs to illegal immigrants, and keep English the language of education. He wanted to take down the toll booths on the turnpike, and save us all money by closing the Turnpike authority and giving the responsibility to the highway dept. When the awful Big Dig ceiling collapse happened, he showed true leadership and took Matt Amarello to task. He would have gotten more done if it wasn't for the intrenched power of the liberal legislature who are addicted to tax money and want to continue nanny statism. Also, it isn't so much about what he accomplished as much as what he prevented. Now we have a political clueless governor that wants to spend and spend to help his union buddies and that buys votes in the legislature. Mitt is an independently wealthy family man of faith and is not in politics for the money. He is a rare kind of politician, a true public servant who wants to secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity.

My boy is a Webelo right now down here in Texas and we just got back from a family camping trip near Waco. It brought back so many memories of Troop 16 based out of St Stephens Church in Dodgeville. We went on some great trips to Camp Norse and on our "50 Miler" up on the Applacian (sp?)Trail in NH and VT. Paul Guadreau Sr and the late great Dick Simkins were the 2 leaders I'll always remember. Great guys, great leaders. The Boy Scouts that were on the trip this past weekend even did a couple "skits" at the late night bon fire that just never get old. I remember our meetings at St Stephens, playing "buck-buck" and will never forget getting "initiated" on my first camping trip away from my parents. Being a parent, I can see why Scouting does help in forming young minds now. It gets back to the old fashioned values and morals. There are too manys friends and memories from Scouts to list. Just a few friends to mention, Paul,Pete and Jon Gaudreau, Tim and Tom Simkins,Steven and Joe LaPalme, my brother Jim Healey, Steve Marquis, Poiriers, Metiviers,Hartvigs,Robbie Duquette, Ernie Brodeur.

When they were kids that was a trolley line they told me many times. They were really tickled when the Fernandes (off S.Main) went in and they could walk to get their weekly grocery shopping done.

Up on Ide's hill before the water tank was built and back in the 1880's a gunfight took place between two groups of men. It raged on and ended up down around Newport Ave where the driving range was. One group was from Pawtucket. The reason for it was vague, but you can read about it in the old newspapers. There also was a small house on Snell St where a man hung himself in the cellar back in the 30's, and many thought it was haunted. Fred Lehr owned the Twilight Shop.

Scary place when you were about 9 or 10. I was surprised, too, to find out later as a young teen-ager that the "East side" was supposedly a crummy part of town...heck, I loved it. Maybe it was a little run-down but the swimming pool there was a lot of fun in the summertime.
Re your VW...I lost track of how many of those Danny had owned over the years...seems like there were always one or two in the family during the 70's.
Susan B mentioned hanging out at the 'Common'... Who didn't take a ride by there at night after a date or whatever to see who was there? Bored? Nothing to do? Head to the Common. I fondly remember many a quiet, late night conversation with friends, sitting out on the hoods of our cars, all the stores closed and dark and just the sound of an Attleboro cop (tall Norm Lyle?) walking his beat, checking every door and maybe stopping to talk for awhile with the driver of the Houle's cab who usually was parked at the corner next to Heagney's.

Warm, but stupid...I didn't let anyone know it was me until the end of the costume party...It was anounced the top winner was the "Cousin It" Costume and was in shock! They were shocked when I popped out from out of all that yarn! Anyway, I won a bunch of cool scout stuff and winning a girlscout purse was a big deal to me back then...it was equal to winning a Coach bag back then.LOL! Ya know what I mean Terry?! Terry and Paula know! " zazz64 wrote on Oct 17, 2007 8:52 AM: " Terry & Paula: Did you guys have the little bron beanie hat? I had that in brownies, I had the green hat in girlscouts.

I loved making Christmas gifts like decorations and bringing them to the hospital or the home for the elderly. I do this with my boyscouts...just don't let them know all my ideas came from the girlscouts.LOL!!What did your girlscout dens do?

I still have my plywood 'key' project we made in her kitchen and I always looked forward to the fresh home-baked cookies (and Kool-Aid in dixie cups) she treated us with at the end of our meets. Funny the stuff you remember, but Mrs R had a wicked sense of humor and was a natural teacher/leader and her daughter Susan was sort of the class brainiac and was very much the super-serious/studious quiet type...I just thought she was mad because she was born a girl instead of being one of lucky boys...lol " kayaksue wrote on Oct 17, 2007 6:25 AM: " Hi Terry...I have two musical carosels(sp?) that I bought at the Curly Caterpillar.

If you feel that's what you should do again. Go ahead--it just shows you can't hold a REASONABLE CONVERSATION without whimpering like a hurt puppy dog. Larry: Any further response to you about Howard's reasoning for this forum, would have to come from him. But here is what I would say: NO ONE - NO NOT ONE that reads these words, can ever stand before God and say he never HEARD OR READ that abortion is wrong. Every time God spoke of the unborn--he always called them "persons" or "by name", and all the 50 million children who have been aborted have been named by HIM. He knows every one. You asked a question--I answered it--and I am not stuttering! If you want to know more--go to a priest, rabbi, minister, pastor or Laney. They can fill you in with the rest. I hope no one runs to the SC and screams censorship.

There are very few people that read this guestbook who really care what anyone who posts on it have to say unless they are interested in that specific topic. I have to say that I, for one, am curious as to Mr. Howard's motive to post here, and not at all curious about his opinion on abortion.

Maybe you should lobby the SC to rename this from the guestbook to Abortion Hot Line. Thinking you might listen or even think about what anyone here has to say was a big waste of my time. You know I taught my girls morals and right from wrong and also not to put them self in a position where things like rape would happen to them. I educated my kids so why should I have to educate everyone elses. And yes I have two wonderful daughters and two great grandsons from one of my daughters.

They already know that abortion is wrong). So Jim's advice is invalid for all those reasons! HERE are the ones that need to be reminded that abortion is wrong. They ALL base their belief on the first recorded lie in the annals of human history. The lie the serpent told Eve in the Garden of Eden....and guess what? It is almost word for word.
