so sorry we can't join all of the folks who have helped us so much!

ttttt

Pity, I was in Paris recently and doubt I'll get permission to go away again in October.

I will give your permission Cilla and Bob, aka rhkkmk, will pay for it!

i pay for new blood

Bob, my pals will be delighted to hear that! ;)

I have purchased my plane ticket. My BFF made the hotel reservations. All systems are "go".

friends are excluded as they may have already received compensation

<i>as they may have already received compensation</i>

Huh?!? Compensation from whom, exactly? Surely not I, with my gov't cheese, after all. You're in rare form today, Einstein!

The gtg is creeping up on us fast. Can't wait! Bob, can we get a head count of who is coming??? Eric and I are really looking forward to it, especially the dinner at your house (that is, as long as you're not cooking.) You will be happy to know we will not be stopping off at Coach on the way this year. We went last week and, sit down now, I DID NOT BUY ANYTHING AT COACH! This is probably a first, and maybe a last.

the store has already reported to me and you have been put on the do not shop list, meaning no future entrance to any purse stores... start saving trash bags in all colors..

at my house there are currently 18-20... sat. lunch there are 31-33 and sat. nite 24-26.

friday night we have 6 new people to welcome!! or as andy would call them, 6 new victums..

Hmm, colored trash bags....you may be on to something. Do Glad bags come in pastels?

Bob has <s>threatened me</s>...uh..pressed me into service to be the bouncer at his house on the Friday night. And BTW, he's actually quite a good cook! (Not quite in the same league as Karen, but actually quite good.)

most are brightly printed

I leave Siem Reap on the 3rd, and will get into Boston on the night of Oct 4th! I may be delusionsl by then, but I will be present!
Can't wait to see you!

Sounds like a great time! Can't wait to get there and see everyone. Newbies are always welcome!!!!

its not too late for last minute reservations.
