I spoke to the manager at the bowling alley twice today. He has been on vacation so he said that he would look into it and get back to me. Of course he never called me back so I called him. He says that Amy, the woman I spoke to initially never actually went to get the case, she just told me that she had seen it and planned to grab it after the phone call. When she went to get it it was already gone. There are so many problems with that story since 1) I waited on the line while she went to get it 2) the phone call was approx 10 minutes long (what could we have talked about if she hadn't gone to get it and fully descibed it to me 3) She had our contact number, but never felt the need to call me right back to tell me that someone had taken it. She works tomorrow so he is supposed to talk to her in person to see if he can get to the bottom of it. I'm pretty sure that we are SOL on this, but I will continue to put pressure on them tomorrow. I told him that I have my cell statement on the way with a detail of the length of the call. Unfortunately we don't think it would be beneficial to file a small claim through the courts. We'd have to travel there to file it, again for the court date and it would cost to file. I am wondering if our home owners insurance would cover it. The game list keeps growing and we are up to 10 games now

I don't have time to catch up as I am mentally and physically exhausted. I'll try to post something coherent tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Good night ladies, it's way past my bedtime.

Elizabeth - don't give away those spots for dinner, I will be putting in for that week off tomorrow and if all goes well we'll be there. We'll only be staying for three nights, staying at a value, driving, and no dining plan, and no hoppers, that should cut way down on the expense.

There was a TV show about a dog that was educational. Each week the dog played a different character. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And if so, do you remember the name of the show? It used to be one of Katrina's favorites and we can't remember the name.

ETA: Becky & Katrina found it. It was Wishbone.

Elizabeth I hope things calm down for ds

Vicki all I can think of is the cartoon with Mr. Peabody

Could it be Wishbone? It was a show in which a Jack Russel terrier dog, played a different character in famous literature for each episode.

I am finished with the closet I did not realize just how much stuff I had in there. Took me longer though beings I had to look at all the pictures & read the cards & letters from my mom & dad. I even came across all my poems I wrote in Jr. High. Reading them now it seems I was one very depressed girl, but that is around the same time my father passed away.

One funny thing that happened is I found money in a birthday card to Garrett from Gary's mom for his 7th Birthday So Garrett is $16 richer now(strange amount ), to bad it was drawing interest Oh & I came across a picture of Garrett with his 1st set of mouse ears when he was two I found a picture of Riley that reminds me of the little boy in A Christmas Story. The part where his mother is dressing the younger boy before school & he can hardly move

I have lot's of trash outside for pickup tomorrow & the back of my truck is full with stuff to take to Goodwill. I think I had a productive & fun day

I was pretty sure it wasn't

No, that wasn't it.

My parents and DB took Olivia and my nephew fishing today. Olivia caught about 15 fish I was told. She had a blast mom said, she would clap every time she or Ryan caught a fish. Mom took photos but her camera is the film kind. So hopefully I can get Jeff to scan the pic when we get it and I can show you all.

I started going to concerts in 1962. I don't remember if my first was Bette Midler or Little Stevie Wonder. I grew up in Philly with the Uptown Theater and the Spectrum. (Philly's version of the Apollo Theater) And only a 90 minute train ride to my sister in NYC.

Back in the day before music videos, when music was mastered on a vinyl record, artists would actually have to tour to promote their records. The artists actually sang the songs with musicians playing instruments on a stage. If you liked the music, you had to buy the record. There was no downloading, no ripping, no burning.

Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane. There are more acts that I have had the privilege to see, just can't think of them right now. This has been so much fun.

Oh, Stephanie...I would love to see Miss Bette in concert...it's the reason I want to go to Las Vegas right now I forgot Barry Manilow in my list earlier...my mom gave us tickets for our anniversary....so we saw him about 6/7 years ago (we just celebrated 17 on Sunday). Absolutely fantabulous concert.
