[TwinkieMama]

Wheat Thins does that mean your home now. Glad to here it.

Twinkie your post was so funny.... ( how was that)

That was great NAB!

Yes. The power is back on in my house. Today my 8 year old son and I met with one of my clients. Then, since we were so close to the horse track went and watched the ponies all day. What a great way to WASTE an afternoon. Cigar, horses, something to occupy the terror. It was great. And, I didn't lose much either. Ha.

Wheat Thins

How much did you bill your client for the "consultant"?


Ok: I have to go bake a cake. Maybe I'll even put on pearls and heels and a frilly apron...... hahahahahahahaha

 

[NAB]

Twinkie you are only making hubby's cake now. I think he would like that look you just said since you didn't mention any clothes. Don't think you will get the cake made...just saying.

I don't fly much and don't know what to tell him to do. This is his first canceled due to weather mid flight experience. He is 19, btw, so I am not worried about him being alone and all. This just stinks.

Any idea how he could find a close in hotel that is not already booked solid by displaced travelers? I have no ideas. Or, um, any advice for sleeping at O'Hare?

(ps I posted this on the CB too, I know there is a Chicago group here somewhere)

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Oh, Haley, I'm so sorry to hear that. Travel delays really stink. Is it a full travel stop?

I don't have any suggestions other than maybe to have him buy one of those cushy neck pillows and find a seat in a relatively quiet area if he can't get the people at the counter to help him with a hotel.

I found this about flight cancellations:

No. He was much more clever than I. Probably better looking too. And. I don't like to have fun. But, I will try your riddle anyway.

PUMBA!!!! I see you let your hair down and grabbed the mic (Mike!)
See? It's fun! You did awesomely!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Well, Uma, on that note, I think its time for a round of drinks!

Isaac, hot Grog for all frozen peeps, and hot tea for the non-alcoholically persuaded, please

Pumba, I really would have applauded you, but I missed the letting your hair loose part...........

 

[horsegirl]

Well see? This is what I am talking! The other digs were old and stale. Great job you guys!

 

[pumba]

okey so which one was I?????

(I'm sorry) I'm sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind
And I was to blind to see
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh
Oh, yes

that brings back to many darn memories ....loved that song.......

2 years ago December my daughter flew from Orlando to Philly and stayed there two days because of snow storms....she was to scared to take a cab to a hotel so she slept on the floor of the gate she was flying out of....they would not let the passengers go to the areas where they had nice big rockers.......you had to stay in the gate areas.....oh well.....she said never ever again go during snow season alone.....

It was a very good year, I actually heard them play that in concert in either 67 or 68 when I was a freshman.

 

[pumba]

[Minnie_Moo]

Haley - Any updates on Ryan?

Uma - Were you even born when that Windy song came out???

 

[Toot Sweet]

Good evening friends!

So, do I need to sing for you all? Or can I just critque you all?

 

[UtahMama]

I was born just after that song came out! My mom swears my name was mostly influenced by Wendy Darling of Peter Pan, a favorite book of hers. She used to sing it for me! My parents were Hippies.

I was also looking for "The Age of Aquarius!" That is a really good one too. And anything by the Monkees!

Bonnie, there is NO CRITIQUING WITH THAT EYE ALLOWED!

 

[firstmickey]

When the mooooonnn is in the seventh sign (sun?)...
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.....

(or something like that)

Love that song!
