psst... wouldn't Stockton or Merced be better destinations then Fresno?

MMS, you little devil, you! Do you think the ***star*** of this board will turn herself in? Naw, not a chance!

We went to the JellyBelly with our kids, imagine their "delight" when they walked in to a portrait of Shwartzenegger made of jelly beans? I don't think they've snapped that many pictures, ever!

LoveItaly~ you are sweet. I hope we get to meet at a real gtg someday

Faina~ lol! (in my spy girl voice): I am building a new condo at my local beach. It has an exclusive water view and multiple spas on the richly wood grain decks.
My dh and I adore making new friends from everywhere while we compare winery notes.. in fact, I was able to visit Stellenbosch, South Africa years ago, and I can talk more than just the **local** wineries of the U.S.A.
I admit, I was a cheerleader in h.s., but not to worry, it was wrestling, and I was called a "mat maid". I did it mostly for the swell gold and blue jacket, so flattering to my pale skin.. as always, J.

* a random and useless thought occured*

~How would the comfort class seats be distributed fairly? Military experience? certainly. check yes.

~ We can all claim that the seats are too narrow and confining, so which physical limitations, besides long legs, would qualify?

a. Entertainment abilities, excluding karaoke? Just not "99 bottles o' beer on the wall/in the mall/covering Paul/with my rubber doll/under my shawl/it makes me feel tall/ I may have to crawl/I'm sick of y'all".

b.best gift of chocolate

No, I've got it!!(hyperventilating)..
**only those with $16 underpants get to ride up front. case closed.**

The entire plane would be first class.
No coach.

JAGIRL~ brilliant idea, you win!!
A paper poll could ask discreetly, La Perla, Jockey, Hanes or....Depends?!

Another reason I should have listened to my husband. He tried to warn me in fairness that our lawn was heavily limed....
So what do I do? Drag the rim of my big party cup on the lawn and look for tequila. tgif, J.

LoveItaly--No, he flies down on the 8th. Then they go to Monterey for a short trip. Should he do a trip report on where he dines down there? LOL! I am pretty sure our DD has put her in Jelly Belly order with him already.

well..jetset...
I don't know what to say...
I have so many people to thank...where do I begin?
I'd like to thank my mother for inspiring me to always be drunk when she got out pf prison...which was so very frequently.
My father for always reminding me to tip the pilot.
My brother...and my fans...how could I forget you all...quot;>

Sonoma, dear friends, not Napa.
"Friends don't let friends drink in Napa"
You heard it here first.

Good one razzledazzle! I also believe friends don't let friends shop at Napa. It's one of the few places where I wait on line and feel the estrogen leaking out of my body.
There's always the one odd yoohoo who needs to have the guy find an obscure part for a "78 Pinto.
By the time I reach the counter, I ask for a step stool and a rope, then I stand on tippie toes, so they see I mean business!

For those with self control, an open bar will be provided.
Anyone acting rudely will be required to wear spaghetti filled rubber boots for the duration of the flight.
Those seeking more of an extreme ride may opt for one of two "seat pods" located on each wing. It will be see through. Perhaps those with chronic flatulence would prefer this option.
I'm sorry. The inner child needed attention again. Time out.

razzledazzle~ silly goosey. Then they run bawling to customer service and demand condensation! Then they rent a car and end up decaffeinated.

stereo selections while en route to our Silligan's island:
* Fly me to the Moon (big Frankie S. fan).
* "I started a Joke, which got the whole board laughing"
* "Leavin'(meds) on a jet plane"

Tabloid headlines:
*I wasn't strong enough to be in the emergency row.
* I followed the blue and red lights straight to your heart.
* I tampered with a smoke detector who never told his wife.
* Lavatory horrorstory.

I have suggested this in the past, but how about a "GTG" or convention somewhere located very central such as........ St. Louis!!!!

It is smack dab in the middle!!!

$1,000,000 question: what is the geographical center of the US?

NO GOOGLE PEEKING!!!!

It's in Lebanon!!! We can't even have our own geo-center!

Yeah Faina, in the middle of a hog farm, but not all scientist agree where the exact center of the US is located.

But we all know the most important "center" is Northern California.
