I've never heard your story, if it's that great I'd like to hear it no matter if everyone else has before they'd probably like to hear it again please

ok, you asked for it....

robin was in a baton twirling corp during school.
my sis joined the corp. she was about 6 years younger that robin. my mom use to take her to weekly classes. robin was a "leader" i think my sis looked up to her. my mom would tell my older brother "theres a great girl i want you to meet."
well one day, after a baton parade, mom grabbed robin and introduced her to my brother and i was watching from the backround.(i was 16) it was about 90 degrees out, the girls had just marched in a parade and were all sweaty. but
WOW!!! i fell in love right away.

my mom got robins phone number and tried to get my brother to call her for months.(he was 17 1/2, closer to robins age) but he was very shy.
after a while my mom said something to me about calling her.
not that i needed any prodding, but my mom said to me..."mike, she's got big B@@Bs.
well i called and we hit it right off right away and the rest is history.

thats right, my mom fixed me up and i got my brothers hand me downs.

he snoozed and lost out.

They've done it for years Arleen. Now they know if they want their eggs, they have to wear the ears and tails.

I'll dress up if you send me some chocolate too!

There is a certain number that they close each thread by?
Or is it by posts?

I can hang around for a bit Bernie. Unless, of course, Dancing with the Stars gets good.

lol, I watched a couple of those.. but I seem to lose interest pretty fast in reality shows.. survivor/amazing race.. etc.. loved them at first... then it was like watching repeats all the time.. this is the first biggest looser I have seen.. we will see how many seasons I watch of it..lol

LOL! My kids don't eat candy. Well, my own don't. The other two love it. They got candy in their baskets. In their eggs they get cash.

I run the hunt differently every year. One year I hide 100 eggs with money in each one and no one can quit until they are all found.

Another time I hide one egg for each kid. They know the color they have to look for and I make a scavenger hunt out of it. This year their first hint was:
"Your Favorite Things". They had to think of something that was a fav of theirs. Kristin loves shopping so she was rummaging through shopping bags. Jesse loves shoes so he was looking through all the shoes in the house....etc.

The only person who got his hint right on the first try was Tony but he was the last one to find his egg.

Cash is handed out on a graduated scale according to who found theirs first, second, third and fourth.

This years locations were:
Kristin: in our dog's toy bucket.
Jesse: In an ESPN beer mug (thanks afeg)
Stacy: Taped to a VHS tape of The Wizard of Oz
Tony: In our office amongst the office supplies. (His favorite store is Office Max. )

Thanks Bernie. I've been on two cruises already, you'd think I'd know by now. It's always such a sad day, it always seems like a big blur.
