Reg, I thought you were leaving for California...did plans change? will you be at Mancinis tonight?

Het MMuzik--still come and hang out! that is part of why this gorup is so great-everyone does their own thing and doesnt usually get bashed for it. diversity. some drink beer, some only pop and others like water. I sometimes prefer water-and its better for you! think about it-cause you can still laugh without being drunk.

Even my own husband will be there for goodness sakes! so if you have never seen my ghost of a husband tonight would be a rare event. ;p

I called Mancinis and they said we need NO reservation and that it has been slow on Friday nights lately so they figured we wouldnt have any troubles :)

I think it would be fun to participate in a WORLD HUNT

but you have to already be wealthy to participate since you would have to travel to where ever you think it is hidden!

Hey all sorry I didn't make it :( My mom got into a horrible car accident this evening. She was on the freeway and someone rear ended her going lik 55mph. She'll be staying in the hospital over night but they say she'll be getting out in the afternoon so I spent most of the evening/night up until about a half hour ago at Regions. How was the get together??? I want gossip gossip gossip!! :D

Me2 was happy to have gotten into THX's tagline.  She expressed it with something that could be a new tag.  Her response?

"THX hasn't used me in a year."

What exactly, are we lookin for?.... the picture thing up top aint workin.

Was the line "
Or maby beyonmabyeur observation
" typed wrong?

Digger Dawg

VJ - yes, the line "Or maby beyonmabyeur observation" is typed wrong. It should be " Or maybe beyond your observation"

MM - so sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she'll be ok and recovers quickly. Did they catch the person that rear ended her?

As to the inquiry of the picture at the top---This is a ghost themed hunt-hence ...it was a ghost! But I guess he didnt work or disappeared ;)

MM - Was that accident in 35E around 10:00 last night, I got caught up in a jam and saw a semi rear ended one car, who rear ended another, did not look good at all.

And sorry I couldn't make it there last night, my girlfriend had some relatives in from out of town and I had to spend the night there.

And thanks again for doing the hunt Me2, looking forward to getting out to some parks!
