CINDY!!!!!
I told you to take them someplace nice!!! Taco Bell????
I think I'll be auditing your expense account...

Well she could have just opened a can of tuna and gave them a fork Bill.

Maybe she spent her expense account on Tuna and Salmon!

or at liquor world.

Maybe she did! She might've bought out the entire store!

I bet they're going somewhere nice tomorrow, they are probably just all tired today!

Oh they have to be so worn out from the excitement, the stress of losing Vanessa and the long drive.

Go figure... in ten years here this was probably the third topic I ever opened, and of course it turns out to be a spare... but my title was much more imaginative that G~Mom's!

Just keep on driving all the way here Bill. I will get the Hornitos and we can have a West Coast version of Kentucky!

How cool would that be Triss?

It could be you, Bill, Patty, and Sarah!!!!

I may have to kidnap Bill to get him down here. But if he ever says he is on his way, I will be off to the store for supplies and ready to party when he gets here!

Ya'll keep on driving till ya get here!

Ya'll might make it in time to go to that nice restaurant(with bar) that we are going to later

Well if you are gonna wait until mid week to go out, then yep, we just might make it! So is a cab or limo coming to get you all? No designated drivers from you three so you can all party! Let someone else do the driving!

That sounds smart, Triss ~ getting someone else to drive them home!

And yes, Bill SHOULD head down your way and scoop up Patty and Sarah!

Let's see, I'm within range of Lynne, Weezie, Melcon, Becky, Heidi, Phoenix, Rita and Loz!

Merme

Sounds like we should be having multiple Forum parties all at the same time!

Regional Reunions, that's the ticket!

Plus, all the PA folks are near me...

aw heck, I'm just claiming the entire East Coast as within range!

Merme

Well it is closer to you than me Merme!

Did everybody hear that?

Trissy Said It Is OKAY! Y'all Belong To Me!

So... anybody down thataway come on up thisaway.

We have Official Permission from the Forum Mom to Run Amok!!



Merme

WOW Merme, You read a LOT into that line! Just like my kiddos!

I wish I read that a while ago Merme I would of popped up right after work!!
Then the other Maine girls could of joined!!

Well Merme is solo this weekend. She could use a party after the week she has had!

Wouldn't THAT have been fun? Lawrence isn'so far...

Merme

I know I hope you are feeling well Merme

How are you triss??

Doing good here.

It is great everyone is sooo happy!!

I'm feeling pretty good, all things considered!

I just dislike the queasiness that comes with certain medications which must be taken so then you don't want to eat but then there are yet other meds that must be taken with food, so you eat just enough to take the medicine which you know is good for ya but you end up with a yuccky tummy.

Whiney baby, that's me!

Merme

Not so far from Portland ... My boss lives there she could of been the designated driver in the morning hahaha

That IS the children's job, don't cha know, Triss? To squeeeeeeeeeze every nuance of possible meaning out of whatever the parents say?

I was just being an attentive kid, is all.



Merme

I refuse meds at all cost most make me sick as a dog... even after sergery I refuse the pain meds.
they really make me sick..
as soon as there in they are out.. I understand..

You should see the size of the antibiotic tablet he has me on for the next week, which must be taken with an 8 oz glass of water. The thing is huge and weighs at least half a ton. No kidding.

I never even heard of this kind before.

Merme

You are a very good one Merme!

A good kid, that is. I do not like horse pills! I try and cut them in half when I can.

Really?? Must look like the calcium pills I take.. these puppies are like a 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch thick .. like a torpedo going down your throat the worst thing is I do it to myself!!

Oh, good! So Triss, you are NOT sending me to a corner for being so on'ry?

Phew!

Hey I love it when Maxi says "You PROMISED!" when all I really said was "Maybe" or "We'll see!"

Merme

That is a very clever thought, Triss! But I am not at all sure this thing would fit into my pill splitter! 'hm.... I do have a really good meat chopping knife, though!

Merme

Haha My nick says the same thing to me you promised .. ohh the things I get to look forward too .. he's only 4 grr

Mine unfortunalty are gel filled! ewww

The thing I have noticed about children, Rita, is that the older they get the more proficient they become at speaking their mind. It is the same sentiment they used when younger, only said with more clarity!

Oh, the things you have to look forward to as Nick grows!

Merme

I do have a 12 year old as well and boy is he fresh with his mouth!!
Drives me crazy most of the time.. it is tough to figure out the right way to handle a situation for each child that works for them!

Howdy everyone,

Just stopped in to say that I was looking Northwest and there appears to be a major storm brewing on the other side of the Appalachians. (directly towards KY)

Might even be able to pick it up on The Weather Channel. "The Perfect Storm 2"

Gotta mention "Sister Act"

Then I'd never get to meet Bill...he's not in my region!

Will talk about kids in the CH later on. Mine is not too far from oblivion tonight!

Cindy, I have already decided that once I get headed your way, my first stop is Bill's. He is used to basements, so lugguage should not be a major issue for him.

Things go ok with the drop off?

Mator must be seeing all the smoke from the H*** you are raisin'

hahaha thats what he was saying cindy

La la la la la... oh don't mind me... just pretend I'm not here!

Ok gotta Jet have a nice party ... I think my sis is coming over ..

Have fun in your adventures girls!! ohh don't forget to take that tylenol before bed!

Awww come on Bill, take another shot and say what is on your mind.

Bye Rita.

aw, shucks, Mr. Bill, YOU'D be invited to any party I'd throw in my backyard, at the beach or on the town!

Just out of curiosity, can you sound like you come from the East?

Merme

I got the girls in bed awhile ago.
They (especially Vanessa) are worn out.
Tomorrow is our big day, so I wanted them to rest up tonight.

I was expecting a clown to get off the bus in London, and I saw this instead...



I swear, I have never laughed so hard in my life.


We had such a wonderful time tonight...after I finally made it home. They stayed here while I went into town earlier to be with Rachel...Vanessa took a nap and G-Mom got some video of Lola while I was gone. I can't believe Lola is actually talking to them. She usually clams up when anyone is here.

Oh I just love those pics!

Keep 'em coming, Cindy.
By the way, thank you for sharing this whole visit.

Yes, thank you all for sharing. Each pic is a smile and that warm fuzzy feeling of love and friendship!

We have had the most wonderful time tonight.
I just can't even put it into words.
It's like we have known each other all our lives.

That is just so awesome Cindy. I am thrilled for you that the three of you are getting this time together!

What a wonderful thing to wake up to this morning!

I can't believe she posted that pic of us in bed

That calls for a payback pic....mwa,ha,ha,ha,ha

Be back in a little while.
I'm taking them out to the farm.

Enjoy the day out ladies!

Wow it's so cool that you are all there together....I just can't get over it!

What cool pics!

G~mom, that outfit is priceless!!!!

This is sooooooo much fun!!!

We just got back from the farm, then went to see Rachel for a few minutes...then (Loz will be proud here...) we went to Wally World!
G-Mom and Vanessa got Kentucky Wildcat t-shirts to take home (we couldn't find one in Peanut's size)...and Peanut got a bunch of new cars and trucks.

I fixed sausage links and scrambled eggs this morning...and we are just snacking and eating very little so we can pig out tonight. We are gonna go early so we will be back early...so we don't miss anything on the forum.

OMG,Bill!

We are all sitting here crying like babies...that was the most wonderful thing in the world!

They are simply beautiful and they mean the world to us

We LUV Ya,Bill

Sniff,sniff....excuse me for a minute,I'm all choked up.................

I still can't believe it.......they are wonderful!

what? WHAT?? WHAT???

What did Bill send????????

Don't you just hate it when they leave us all in suspence??? :p

I guess they're out for their night on the town now.....darn it, I took a nap and missed them!

They just finished their Filets (they were ORDERED to get the most expensive dinner and drinks on the menu) and Karen had to take over the bar because the bartender didn't know how to make chocolate cherry shots correctly. I expect that the town will be under their complete control (or non-existent) before the night is done. (the Trio has 'em all running scared)

I checked in with the bail bondsman just in case....

I don't feel a bit bad for making them cry, cuz they did it to me when they just called...

I bet they are just having an absolute blast. You are awesome Bill for helping make that all happen!

Yes, we are having a BLAST!!! Dinner was most excellent....are waitress even liked us so much she wanted her pic taken with us...see...WE ARE FUN!!!!!


~V~

Bet you made her night Vanessa!

Yes...we ARE! mwaaahaahahahahaha


Not as sorry as we were!
You would have been much better than those awesome fillets we just had.
...except you would have been well done when we got finished with you, instead of medium rare!

I bet the TIP made her night!!!!


~V~

The tip is always good when the drinks have been flowing!

So what are you all drinking right now????

Zinfin, Beam, or Hornitos?

I would like to know how Freckles is dealing with all of the new faces. And did I miss it? What did get delivered that had everyone blubbering?

Freckles is a sweetheart and I love him to death! A total dollbaby.

WOW so you tamed the wild beast?

All of the above

Takes one to tame one

OMG

Isn't that the point? Now you have to get to dull roar stage, then cannot hear a d*** thing stage.

My brain is always on a "dull roar"

Yes, yes, I missed it to !
What the he77 did Bill send you????? filets?

Cindy id working on pictures!

Ya'll will get to see the special surprise I made for this trip

So I hate to bring it up....because you don't want to even think of it yet...but do you both leave tomorrow?????

Tie one on!

Yes we leave tommorrow afternoon

THATS IT....I'm not leaving!

Tie what

Enjoy it while you can....maybe it can be an annual or bi-annual meeting....

The only good part about going home after a vacation/trip is sleeping in your own bed again.

That is already a done deal. We will definately be doing this every year


UH uh...I want Cindys bed!

Every year is a great idea. Bet next year there will be more members there!

haha Cindy's house will be swamped she will need a bus next year
