10/24/2009 - Bash On the Boat (I'm With BOB) - thread #5

[Verandah Man]

And probably #1000 on this thread



And then he'll say, "I wasn't even trying for it, really"

 

[Verandah Man]

Yep, I was right..........

 

[Verandah Man]

So Andy, how long you letting the ST sleep before you go get breakfast?

It will be more like BRUNCH now...........

Jeff made the very first post on 12-04-2007, at 08:13 AM

That calcs out to just over 150 posts a day and we're not even close to cruise time.

If I take 21,000 and divide by 4.5 months that we already had and multiply by the 18 months until the cruise, then add on the 21,000, I come up with 105,000 posts.

I think we will fall short of the EB Repo with that amount. I think they were in the mid-80K's when they got shut down. Now they are nearing I believe thread 6, so that would be another 22,500 and we don't sail for 4 more months. They'll really pick up at the 90 day mark. I bet they end in the 125-135K area.

Andy,

Fiber One has a muffin mix too. Apple Cinnamon Muffins with 5g of fiber. I haven't tried them yet, maybe I should mix them up today. The box does say they are limited edition so I'm not sure how long they'll be around

I haven't tried these yet either...but I saw them. First one to try them has to post a review!

Is everyone planning on flying down Fri. and coming home Sun.?
So with the 31 Jeff mentioned and at least 9 for Jen's group we're at 40 BOBers from WI In Oct./Nov I can call Midwest again and call some of the other airlines to check about group rates. How would we check into actually chartering a plane? That would be so much fun, a plane full of BOBers! I just remembered Al's friend has a sister who is a business travel agent, maybe I could check with her and she could somehow help us with this.

We are planning to fly down Friday and come home Sunday....

Edited to add my accidental FO!

 

[millerpjm]

Lots of hugs for you and Hazel

Hugs from us too...

 

[goofyfreak]

Maybe I'll look into making some on the 4th of July when everyone is over.

Jeff, I think my invitation got lost in the mail.

I went all out on the first computer I ever bought.

Never again. I've found I can get by with the technology that has just faded from the limelight and in return save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

Those thing are like a car and lose money so quickly, I can't see putting a lot into them.

We don't always get the best technology...usually 1 or 2 generations behind. It depends on who's computer it is, and what we need. For example, DH plays online games (WOW or City of Heroes) which require pretty up-to-date graphics cards, so we trade off for something else (like less memory which we can always pick up later and stik in the computer). To be honest, I don't always know what he builds, but we do some negotiation before he buys anything...

Happy Birthday Andy, have a great day.

Saturday school make up days I bet no one is happy about that

Not really...but our school district built 1 snow day into the calendar and took 4, they didn't have a lot of options. They were only able to add one to the end of the year, and they didn't want to add to spring break (since lots of people plan trips). As it was, they only had about 75% attendance for the first one...and not all the classes even did anything meaningful. I'd be more upset as a parent about complying and sending my child to school on a Saturday and all they did was watch a movie or a basketball game (one class did that)....

That weather is staying well inland Jen, because I woke up to sunny skies and temps that are suppose to go into the 60's.

If this holds, Nancy will end up with great weather for Tony's wedding.

We had a short shower in the morning and then it got nicer....

Can't wait to hear from Nancy about the wedding!

 

[millerpjm]

Kinda like the Bic Mac or Whopper with the Diet Coke, right?

Hey, you're still saving calories!

 

[millerpjm]

Rachel, you may see those cinnamon rolls by Monday before school.

What time will they be done Cheryl? We're only about 30 minutes away.

You really need to try the Donuts that Paula Dean showed on her show. If you get the Food Club brand of biscuits from Pig, they only have 1 gram of fat per 2 biscuits. Just add what ever consumption of the oil to it and you're still having low fat donuts that are really yummy.

Maybe I'll look into making some on the 4th of July when everyone is over.

4th of July? Did I miss something - are we all invited over?

 

[goofyfreak]

Just finished my baby cake

They wanted a turtle plushie with an It's a Boy kind of theme...

I LOVE IT. You are really talented. I'm sure this will be a very busy business for you.

 

[millerpjm]

That's OK, I sit in my easy chair in the livingroom and send Hazel e-mail messages from my laptop, and she is in the same room as me on the desktop..........

Pete and i have done that....we used to play an online gme together, and we'd chat to eachother on the computer instead of talking - and we were sitting right next to each other in the office!

 

[goofyfreak]

Emily is in the front low at the far left.....They were awarded 3rd place for Inspection, 1st place for the Color Guard, 1st place for standard without arms (marching without weapons), 1st place for standard with arms (marching with weapons), and 1st place overall.

I still laugh when I think this is my girl who wore a dress every night on the cruise.

CONGRATS TO EMILY!

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!!!!

 

[millerpjm]

Donuts on the 4th of July sound great! At this rate Rach will be lucky to have gotten her cinnamon rolls by then. I make the low fat Pillsbury cinammon rolls that are in the refrigerator area at Pick, they're not bad. We don't have a Piggly Wiggly here in Muskego anymore , it went out of business a few years ago.

I usually make either the reduced fat or the sugar free ones...I think the sugar free ones are lower in WW points, but the icing isn't quite as good.

If I can find it, I have a recipe to make your own using refrigerated pizza dough...those are good too.

I'll have to go looking for that recipe Jeff mentioned, although in my mind Paula Deen and lowfat don't usually end up in the same category!
