The Last to Post-2nd Edition - Part 3

[skiingfast]

We're heading out soon. Have the depressing task of going to the cemetary for the unveiling of my FiL's tombstone. MiL had not been good for the last week and I don't think she's going to be in any decent state of mind today either. Gonna be a sad day.

Sorry to hear that, I hope it goes as well as it can.

Back in the lounge...much nicer than the show floor. Besides the staff there's only four others in here besides me!

 

[usnuzuloose]

How many days does this run?

 

[franandaj]

The show goes through tomorrow. I think for most it ends at 5PM, but there is a "fond farewell" send off in our "special" lounge from 6:30-7:30 PM tomorrow. I will go, not sure if Fran will. However she promised me a real dinner tomorrow and I'm taking her up on that even if we get one tonight! We didn't even eat any of the lunch I made today. Instead we ate a crappy hot dog from the Convention Center.

 

[skiingfast]

I'm listening to one of the vendors talk about how she can't stop people from ripping her off. Nice.

Vendor of what? Food or are there 3rd party vendors selling thier wares to convention attendees?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Back home. Depressing 30 minutes.....going to go weed my garden....but one round of the games board and then lunch first!

 

[usnuzuloose]

I am sorry, tell your Dh I am sorry for his loss.

 

[skiingfast]

Last here and now.

Vendor of what? Food or are there 3rd party vendors selling thier wares to convention attendees?

Yeah, third party. There were about 50 of them. That's where Fran was shopping this afternoon.

Really? So what kind of things did they sell?

 

[usnuzuloose]

What kind of items did they auction?

I wonder if thier SUV is going home with an Autopia car in the back.

I wonder if thier SUV is going home with an Autopia car in the back.

I wonder if the Autopia car is going home with their SUV in the back.....

 

[skiingfast]

I think it could be hard to steer with the SUV lifting the front wheels off the ground. If only that center guide rail was on regular roads.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Ah....but that would mean that Fran and Alison can keep circling and buying stuff.....

 

[skiingfast]

Until the covention center throws(steers) them out.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Throw them out? They are there best paying customers.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Congratulations on 18K. You're now worth about $1800 an ounce...when you get to 24K.

 

[PrincessInOz]

It's nearly 5 pm on a Sunday afternoon.

• I've gone for a 5 - 6 km bike ride round the velodrome today.
• Had a depressing 30 minutes watching MiL breakdown at the cemetary.
• Weeded the garden for 2 hours.

I think I've done enough for today. What do you think my chances are for a simple dinner like eggs on toast?

 

[usnuzuloose]

I say your entitled to it.
