sweet! thanx! i lost all my pics when my hard drive crashed :frown:

a co-worker is a friend of Darice Koepke, Klondike Kate. I'm trying to arrange a visit to the Saturday afternoon geocaching/medallion hunting event at Cherokee.

I'm also pushing for PDG at McGovern's. I'll find out Friday morning if

1. she can do it

2. she wants to do it

My bargaining push is button sales. 2007 Klondike Kate buttons are 2 for $5.00 The buttons are numbered and are similar to a raffle ticket at an official event.

Does anyone have a guess how many she might sell at the PDG? Could be a big factor.

2 for sure here.

2 for sure, here :pbpt:

Yep, I'll buy some too.

How quaint http://www.sandpoint.org/wintercarnival/

Adult spelling bee?? sounds like fun :eyeroll:

:cool:

They have a pizza eating contest, and a chilli cook-off...

We have a medallion hunt worth 10 grand, and a buncha stuff built out of snow and ice.

I think we're being ripped off...

So i'm in the elevator going down to the laundry room, and this girl gets in and I say to her "Its a little chilly, eh?" and she says to me "Yeah it is. I just moved here from Iowa so I'm not used to it." I just about fell over....

She was probably talking about the elevator ride. :eyeroll:

HA!

I musta read a couple hundred posts- I love the cooler! I love my friends!! I really need to print this into book form for good bedtime reading.

that looks like a nice time

chili cook off and K-9 Keg Pull :cool:

only you jake- only would happen to you :chagrin:

Looks like it would be pretty gosh darned exciting if you lived in a small town in Idaho!

I thought all they had in Idaho was Potato's.

Nick -

I'm pretty sure, the house your grandparents had was sold to my friend - (the 911 operator) who just sold it She is the one who's house I'm staying with on Charles Ave. The house did have a huge side yard! infact it was a double lot, and it did go to habitat for humanity when she sold it!

She is going to come hunting with me, so I will introduce the two of you.

Small Freakin world.

I am inheriting the house that my dad grew up in, as well as I did. It needs a lot of work, and it seemed like every 10 years my gran would do a whole redecorate anyways. I think the fact that I can keep it would make them happy. I don't think it has to stay the same.

When I'm there, I plan to go to my family house in Little Canada and see my cousin, and just check out my old room and stuff - which I'm sure has changed.

I cried the one (and only) time I got to go through my grandma from MN's old house. it had been completely remodeled and it just wasn't 'home' anymore.

'Home' is just such an intimate idea, and seeing someone change that, makes (me) feel like they are trying to erase my idea of home.

small freakin world, indeed...

This city seems way too big for that kinda stuff to happen!

Cool stuff though! :grin:

'Home' is just such an intimate idea, and seeing someone change that, makes (me) feel like they are trying to erase my idea of home.

I hear ya...

I like how Zach Braff's character in "Garden State" put it...

In the scene, where he's talking to Natalie Portman, in the pool...

"You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in...

isn't really your home anymore?

All of a sudden, even though you have some place where you put your shit...

that idea of home is gone.

You feel like you can never get it back.

It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist."

On a lighter note -

any of you guys see that Dr. Pepper is having a "medallion hunt" of sorts?

They have something hidden in 33 states...

the biggest prize is a million dollars

You get a code under your cap, that you enter at their site, and it gives you a clue

Win one of 23 treasures worth anywhere from $10,000 to $1 Million

"Drinking Dr. Pepper gets you codes, codes get you clues, and clues get you closer to the treasure."

"Look for promotional codes under specially marked caps of 20 oz. bottles or inside specially marked 24-packs of Dr. Pepper, then enter these codes right here on drpepper.com to get clues that lead you to one of the 23 treasures, or to see if you have won an instant prize."

"Collect your codes now, then come back January 23rd, 2007 and start hunting."

Rules aint up yet on the website, so not sure about end date or other prizes.

see- its this post exactly that I want in my 6 degrees of seperation St. Paul

what? huh? where?

sorry.... edited that post... I dug for more info

I dug for more info

you dig?

ok, so lets say I figure out a clue that they give me... do I enter the answer online OR do I have to go find whatever they hid? cause what if they hid it in Alaska? I'd have to get there first?

nice find nick

If you go to drpepper.com and click on "promotions", and then "Hunt For More"... you just get a count-down clock...

thats probably the count-down to when you can start entering codes

I've already seen the bottles with the codes in them... so I know they're out there...

I remember when my Grandfather got us an Atari.

WOW... he had a big screen TV too. It was in all reality a 13 inch color TV that reflected into a mirror and a lens then up on a mirror only to be shown up on a curved screen.

Ahhh those were the days

:eyeroll:

True Elevator Stories!!!

It might be fun to hear if others have had stuff like this happen in elevators.

I was riding in an elevator at the Inn on Lake Superior in Duluth. A Porsche convention was in town, and the other people on the elevator were wearing Porsche convention names tags. This particular group of people were from the south - Georgia, I think. They were wondering out loud (in heavy southern accents) where some good places to eat would be. Having frequented Canal Park's establishments, and being the friendly, helpful person that I am, I offered some referrals.

Based on my speaking just a few sentences, a woman said to me, in a southern drawl:

"You sound just like the movie Fargo!"

Kinda pissed me off, ya know?

I've gotten that before. In Ft. Lauderdale, while monitoring a medical study, the research secretary seemed enchanted while listening to me. Finally she seemed to break her reverie of thought, focused her eyes on me, and asked, "Have you seen the movie Fargo?" I *knew* what was coming next!

Anyway, back to the Inn on Lake Superior elevator incident. I return to our room and told Da Yooper about it. How I wish I could have thought as quickly as he did. He suggested I might have replied, "And YOU sound like the movie Deliverance!"

True Elevator Stories....anyone???

Well, there's the time a guy exposed himself to me and another young woman (I was young at the time) in a Dayton's parking ramp elevator in St. Paul. :worried:

He had pushed the button for the mezzanine level and got off there and ran off. The woman and I looked at each other and laughed. Then we notified security. :sillygrin:

When I got home my husband had started dinner. I asked what we were having and he said Polish sausage. :neutral:

Look at him and say, "Oh, you want the children's department--third floor" :smile:

eags- ot - those are both hilarious! thanks for sharing

tic toc :smile:
