Re: Anyone remember how many ceiling tiles in Bergen County?
yeah, (motivating, motivating) i can relate!!!
ceiling tiles was one way of passing the time.
in new england, counting the large white painted
bricks that made up the wall was another one.
also, trying to get a concrete count on actually
how many chairs there were in the building.
oh the things we did to pass the time in that place!
i would sometimes imagine the whole group just getting
up and running. at one point there was talk among the
"misbehavers" that there was going to be a big "run".
i don't remember that ever happening.
but check this out, and ANYONE who was in new england
at the time would remember...
during open meeting, the mic's being passed around, and
it gets to the parents of a kid who was being restrained the better part of the last 4 days or so. he stands up and yells
"coming back home"!!!!! all the parents applaud, all the 5th
phasers chase him as he bolts for the back door. he didn't make it. (mid-88, i think)
but, i know what you're talking about, kimberly.
passing the time was a hard thing to do. i sometimes
used to pretend that it was a movie. and that we'd be done shooting this "scene" in just a minute, then we'd all go outside, smoke, and go back to wherever we wanted to.
my intake was december 20th 1987. those first months
were cold on the outside and on the inside. i used to wonder
if we (newcomers) could make a sign to get someone's attention from the bus - and have them "bust us out".
we'll back to lunch... mandarin tofu w/vegtables... yum!!!!
