Ok, I give up. What are chicken paws, Ladies?? Please tell me it has nothing to do w/ chicken feet. I'm a Northerner by birth and know how you Southern folk make use of many a body part;)

SallyJane--Sorry you can't make it, and thanks for letting us know.

OWJ...check out the chicken paws at this link

Ummm, I think I saw a toenail peeking out...gulp!

I'll be in Buckhead for a wedding the weekend of September 2nd! Wish I could still be there on the 17th to visit with y'all (I'm practicing my Southern drawl). Alas, we are departing for Kiawah after the wedding. Have a great time!

OWJ! You didn't see iceeu2's photos from the Honolulu GTG? We ordered chicken feet at dim sum lunch and ate them in honor of certain threads on the Europe board.

When you come to Hawaii, that's your initiation into the Honolulu Fodorites clan!
;)

ANNOUNCEMENTS...ANNOUNCEMENTS....ANNOOOOOUNCEMENTS !

WE CAN DO SOME "WHINING" NOW! THE BUDBREW HAS ARRIVED!

THANKS, Budman ((b))

OneWanderingJew: The chicken paws thing is most definately NOT a southern U.S. 'type of thing'!

And If eating one is what gets you into the Honolulu Fodorites Club, I fear I won't make THAT one! :&

iceeu2: Yes, I'm slow but sure...tried earlier today, but my server wouldn't bring up worldisround so that I could work on it!

We've been gone a week. DH had an annual meeting at Perdido (the beaches were SO empty!)and then we visited family.

Got my Oulet shopping fix at the Tanger there!

Kudos to our Governer Sonny Perdue. Thank you. Every little bit helps.

iceeu2: I must have missed something. What did he do to earn your kudos?

Belle

OSB, did you not notice gasoline go down in your area yesterday by about 15 cents/gallon?

He has rescinded the gasoline tax until Tuesday and when the legislature reconvenes on Tuesday, will try for rescinding the tax for a month.

Would that affect AL? We woke up to no gas at all at our two local stations.

Belle

Sorry OSB, forgot you were in Alabama...no this is for Georgia.

OWJ, how many people have rsvp's for the atlanta gtg? I'm really looking forward to it--

KSWL--As of right now, we have over 20ppl coming!! Can you believe it?

Should be a BLAST!

I've emailed someone at Fodors 2x begging for luggage tag or pin or keepsake for us; however, I have yet to hear back from them. Perhaps they'll see this post. Hint Hint ;) :)

Starrsville--How are those nametags coming?

Oh, and sweet Tiff sent me some moolah to go towards the first round!

Why isn't Tiff joining us? She had the sweetest post on FFR&R this past Friday.

Tiff's not joining us because she's too lazy to get on a plane and visit. Just kidding!! She's told me she wishes she could come but it's too far from MN and she can't fit it in w/all her other previously scheduled traveling.

She will be there in spirit and we'll just have to toast her!!

I'm so jealous!! Have a great time and be sure to post pictures :D

STW--Don't be jealous, come on down! Priceline and room and see if you can top the deal iceeu2 got :)
