I had a phonolog. Trying to remember in which move did I finally let it go.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm

↳ WR @1:02
Hi, WR! It was my job at the record store to keep the Phonolog in order with updates and such. I used it a lot to help customers. I worked at a record store when I started doing a show at WFMU. I'd already been working at the station since 1981 as a student.

Ah, yes. We had to have MTV on at the record store. It was Crazy Eddie's. Got to see Live AID while working. I didn't own a TV myself at the time.

my grandmother, on mother's side, was born in poland. don't know to much about grandfather, although he was probably also born in poland, who died when my mother was a child, she found him slumped over at the kitchen table, choked on vomit, a heavy drinker, he boxed and drove a cab for money. my grandmother raised four kids on her own in les nyc which was possible in the 40's- 50's.

anyway grew up on pierogi's and keilbasa, not every day, as probably you did.

went through a battery of doctors, and everything is even better then before (I did a double-blind test w/ two doctors at the same time ordering the same test, one who knew my previous condition, and who did not. The latter had no idea that there was once something wrong w/ me. Now, I just need prescription glasses (just been getting by w/ readers).
