Well .. two stories relative to this.

One was when Jan was using the regular girls room in elementary school.

Being small, she simply crawled under barriers and locked all the stalls

from inside. :-)

The other was in high school when the special ed kids were given the key

to the teacher's bathroom and told to lock it when they left. One day,

she was finishing up there when a teacher came in. She locked the door

as instructed, knowing that it couldn't be unlocked from inside :-)

That time she got suspended from class for a day, but the following day

they fixed the lock!

Now, Janet was never in " full inclusion " , but she was well known to all

the students. Her medals from Special Olympics got displayed in the

trophy case and it was wonderful to watch the kids greet her as she

walked down the hall.

Did I say that she has a sense of humor?

Rick .. dad to 36 year old Jan who still can be funny

What's going on with this message board? I just tried to start a new thread, and

when I clicked on POST, the subject matter disappeared. Before, when the same

thing happened, I tried to write something, and when I clicked on send, I got

the following message " NO Subject " .

I don't understand. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Anyway here is what I was going to share.

Last night, I took a walk and happened upon the BIGGEST TREE I have EVER SEEN in

Brooklyn. LOADED WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RASBERRIES. Never in all my life

have I ever seen such a HUGE tree filled WITH RASPERRIES.

Many had fallen to the ground and were being stomped on. No one at all was

picking them off the tree and using them. I have no idea why. The people who

owned the house were not around and no one knew anything.

I just stood there and viewed the BIGGEST RASPBERRY TREE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I wish I had a camera.

HEY! You better take a cutting from that tree, because raspberries grow on

shrubs. What you probably found was a Mulberry Tree. Mulberries are edible and

make great jam, jelly and preserves. Did you taste them? People were probably

ignoring them because they didn't know what they were or what to do with them.

I have not had any problems with the site.

So all these things (thousands), that were on the ground were MULBERRIES, and

not RASBERRIES?? Take a cutting? I gather that means, cut off a branch or

something? There are MILLIONS of branches on this HUGE TREE. And what would I do

with a branch (assuming this is what you are referring to?).

The branch has all these berries growing on it. THOUSANDS OF BRANCHES. HUNDREDS

OF THOUSANDS OF BERRIES.

And not one person on that block will go near it. I think they don't like the

owners, or they don't know the owners, or they just don't know what to do with

all those berries. I can tell you for a fact that no one picked up any berries

from the ground, picked off any berries from the tree etc.

I was the only one on that block, going oooh and aaah. Everybody else was

interested in the hunky firemen that were across the street putting out some

barbecue fire that someone ignited on their front porch.

Picture 4 fire trucks, 100 gorgeous firemen and everybody on the block just

staring at it all.

And most of the people on that block (try 90%) are chinese. Maybe they don't

know Mulberry Trees??

A cutting is taken from the growing tip of a branch when the tree first begins

in new growth in the spring. I was just kidding you about a raspberry tree.

I don't why your Chinese neighbors wouldn't be there picking fruit because the

mulberry is native to Asia.

If the fruit is hanging over public access, the law say you can pick them. Give

them a try.

Ah, the SUBJECT LINE IS NOW BACK, when I hit reply. For the whole day yesterday,

I couldn't post anything, and when I hit reply, the subject line was there for a

split second, then it vanished. Right now, it's still up there. I will never

understand message boards.

Anyway, This humongous tree is sitting on the front lawn of the owner's

property. The tree is so big, that many of it's fruit lands on the sidewalk. All

the fruit is one big pile of mush. Everyone just walks over all mullberies, or

raspberries or whatever they are.

I have never seen such a LARGE FRUIT TREE IN ALL MY LIFE.

It's like it had a life of it's own. And it was WIDE!!

Good Lord.

I just might take a walk over there later and if I catch the owner, I just might

ask him some questions, (such as " can I take some of these berries? "

But they are not considered organic, right? I have no way of knowing. My friend

said this tree has been there FOREVER!!!

I found the exact same looking tree and mulberries on the internet.

Take a look:

http://foodmapper.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/its-mulberry-season/

As I scrolled down the page, I saw that the tree LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE I

SAW LAST NIGHT. And further investigation (scrolling down the page), I saw what

the ground looks like. IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE GROUND UNDER THE TREE last

night.

And on this website, people are putting upside down umbrellas or SOMETHING, and

hitting the tree and all the berries would fall in, I would imagine.

Oh my, imagine having my own source of berries FOR FREE.

I make a sugar free berry pie once a week.

Holy Cow, the pie I COULD MAKE OUT OF THESE BEAUTIES, that is if they are indeed

edible??

I shall see later on. Will update.

Yes - eat those delicious mulberries.  I've been enjoying them from my parents'

tree for years.  Watch out for their staining your clothes, though.  They also

color the concrete sidewalk. And make sure that they are not treated with

pesticides.

 

Mulberry leaves are fed to silkworms, which my mom and great-grandmother make

into silk thread from their cocoons.  What a luxury for you to have in your

neighborhood. 

 

Enjoy, Barbara

They are organic unless he sprays the tree with or feeds it some kind of

non-organic chemistry.

Hi Barbara:

I don't know if they will be a luxury, or not, I don't want the owner coming

after me with a hatchet. lol

After we get the storm, I'll just walk over there and casually ask ANYBODY if

they eat any of this fruit. I was just sitting on my friend's porch and I

casually mentioned to everyone that there is this gigantic mulberry tree a few

blocks away and I'm going to go and see if I can harvest the berries. Well, you

should have seen the expression on their faces.

Each and every one of them said " I WOULDN'T EAT ANY FRUIT OFF OF A TREE " , " I

WILL ONLY EAT FRUIT I BUY IN THE STORE "

lol

And you can't shake this tree, it's about 12 feet wide. So I gather people would

shake the branches and see what falls out.

I'm not going to wear anything white that day.

lol

Will update.

Haven't seen any farms at all but my neighbor around the corner has this HUGE

BACKYARD, and he grows everything. I would be walking around the corner and he'd

call me in and give me these blackberries, and other stuff. He hasn't grown

anything in a while, but a few years ago, all I saw was VEGETABLES, AND FRUIT,

(and this was WAY BEFORE) I started sprouting).

If only I knew way back then!!!

Yes, it's a HUGE TREE, with hundreds of thousands of these berries growing on

them. I never thought about the smog, or the conditions of our air. I'm going to

find out if they sprayed anything on these things.

You know what I don't understand? How they allow ANY pesticides to be used at

all? Like that Round-up stuff. If it's a pesticide, it's poison. Why don't they

ALL GROW STUFF HYDROPONICALLY??

I mean, isn't that much much safer than eating fruits and veggies that might be

contaminated? And I read where the FDA calls certain pesticides SAFE??

I don't understand this at all.

ew....we're talking NYC smog here my good man.... a totally different animal....

but for the adventurous types amoung us....remember that a few drops of oil of

oregano under the tongue or in some water, will generally help stop or prevent

any flare ups of upset stomach or food poisoning.....

Hi Barbara:

I don't know if they will be a luxury, or not, I don't want the owner coming

after me with a hatchet. lol

After we get the storm, I'll just walk over there and casually ask ANYBODY if

they eat any of this fruit. I was just sitting on my friend's porch and I

casually mentioned to everyone that there is this gigantic mulberry tree a few

blocks away and I'm going to go and see if I can harvest the berries. Well, you

should have seen the expression on their faces.

Each and every one of them said " I WOULDN'T EAT ANY FRUIT OFF OF A TREE " , " I

WILL ONLY EAT FRUIT I BUY IN THE STORE "

lol

And you can't shake this tree, it's about 12 feet wide. So I gather people would

shake the branches and see what falls out.

I'm not going to wear anything white that day.

lol

Will update.
