Well this conversation takes me back to one of my life's most innocent and embarrassing moments.  Was definitely in my younger years when gas stations quit having attendants pump your gas.  I did not

Dark (as pitch black if there was a blackout) about 6.15pm... Sunrise as in bright enough to turn your headlights off...7.30am ish. I din't think we had lightening bugs here (although we call them fireflies) but I was wrong, they have them in parts of NSW, QLD & NT.  Down here though we have glow worms... they only exist in NZ & Australia and are really rare... they live in caves, I know of 3 caves in Victoria you can see them, there is a theme part for them in QLD I am pretty sure there are sights n NSW and Tassie and I know they have a big tourist cave for them in NZ... they aren't really worms, they are really gnat maggots but glow worms sounds so much cooler. Anyway these are the ones nearest me, just out of Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road..

I am a bit of an entomophobe so catching and dismembering for me is a no... lots of screaming and hyperventilating would be involved.

Vic is hilarious! I miss a lot of things from Brooklyn, food being one of them. When I do go home to visit I come back here 10 lbs heavier.

I don't recall them being Fontbonne girls, but I can't remember the name of their school right now DD. I think it was something more traditional like St Marys, Johns, etc. 

I have not been there in ages.

I haven’t lived in NY since 2002, back when I was in HS the main catholic schools in Bay Ridge were Fontbonne, Bishop Ford, and Bishop Kearney. I was poor, lol, I went to public school. ?

I also had the pleasure of public school.

These girls from Bay Ridge went to private school on the island.

Ahhh I misread your post and thought it was the other way around!

Yes, they would take the city bus across the bridge from Bay Ridge and transfer at my stop on the SI side of the bridge. It seems we were always there together at the same time.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
