  2. Okay, I’ve looked everywhere before asking you this…. Why do you call the boys “Tali1 and Tali2? I know there’s got to be a reason… I couldn’t find the original post that explains this (if there was one) and I am now dying of curiosity! lol

  3. The Taliban..? Seek and Destroy? That’s hilarious. I’m thinking Tali3 would have put you over the edge. But, you do make some darn cute Tali boys!
    The pic of the little one crying was just too cute for words. I showed that to my nephew when he was crying over something and he had to stop crying and laugh.

  5. Hi. Was trying to find old photos of skelly box and found your site. Was curious as to the 1969 reference because this is also my birthyear. I also emmigrated from the caribbean and grew up in Brooklyn. (East-New York).
    Peace!

  6. enjoy your blogs, Im from Canada and its snowing out as I write this, we had a great Christmas up here and are looking forward to the new year with its new challenges. I am at the beginning of writing my autobio and typed in “nineteen sixty-nine” and found your blog. so I was reading. I was seven years old in 69 and was trying to find out what all went on in that year. McDonalds opened its first restaurant, the moon was conquered and Woodstock was in full swing.

  7. enjoying the blogs. i too stumbled on to it. i’ve been returning the past few days. I wasn’t born in ’69 but ’70; not the NE but the SE and I adore opinionated and mouthy sistas. keep it up ladies.LOL
