starrsville,
I suspect Faina will indeed ***survive*** this banning ;)

kopp ~ :S-

I know, I know. Made the connection earlier. Just think we should keep it a lower profile.

What! I leave the house to do a little trip shopping only to come back and find out that Faina is BANNED!!

WAIT A MINUTE! I'm pretty good at figuring out old timers with new screen names (reaching hard to pat myself on the back, lol).... But what is <i>this </i>***business*** with Faina???? NO! Is it really ***???!!!???*** Is it?

I did miss her witty self yesterday come to think of it.

Survivor, how long is Faina being banned?

They will probably let her out of her room after the weekend!

Faina would do just about anything to get out of that mud wrestling match with jetset, LOL. Hang in there Faina! :D

LOL ~ STW, oh that was great.

speaking of...has anyone heard from jetset lately?

jetset IS gone!

Is mudwrestling against the rules? Perhaps so.

NO! It's true!

What is this world coming to!!

I topped an old Friday Fun thread. Click on jetset's screen name.

I did! She's gone!

jetset's gone too ? What did I miss? :-\

Did the mudslinging start between those two or something?

Hi, all. I still plan on catching up with everyone later, but as I was scanning this thread and I am shocked about Faina!! I will email her now and find out what's up. Hopefully she's just in time out and not banned forever.

Wow! I guess mud wrestling is off limits on Fodors.

Welcome Survivor! :)

Not if I can help it baby!!

Exactly STW, I mean you upgraded to box seats for that event and everything.

For fear Fodors will freeze FFR&amp;R ~ I will add something travel related. I have been researching Quebec City a great deal lately. And actually P_M I owe all the credit to you! I read what you wrote in an old thread. I can't wait to go, I may surprise DH or wait and go next summer. Do you have a fav hotel?

WOW, Tiff, I'm thrilled to have helped you!! I stayed in Montreal at the Queen Elizabeth hotel and did Quebec City as a long day trip. It was so beautiful, I felt like I was in France. I hope you love it as much as I did, and I can't wait to hear about it on your return. :-)

And while we are giving credit where it is due, thanks to my pal starrsville for suggesting the Big Island for our Hawaiian trip. The BI wasn't even on the radar screen, but starrsy provided me some good info about BI, so I'm more exicted than before about my trip. :-)

Yes, getting back to the Rants and Raves...

Thinking of those who need good thoughts...Mimi and her husband. :)

amwosu: How horribly tragic for everyone involved.

Tiff: <i>Happy Birthday to You!</i> The &quot;nines&quot; are always toughest for me for some reason. You are a gem! Enjoy your year ahead! ((f))

Kopp: Happy Birthday to your Son!

Ethel: Hope your dad feels better soon. Best wishes planning your honeymoon trip!

Kureiff: Yes, all I've got left is the &quot;fear of Mom&quot;, lol. I just hope it works! The youngest always gave me a run for my money. He's a good kid, really, just needs a few nudges (aka threats) whatever works! :D I love him to pieces. ((l))

Caph: Hugs and good thoughts to you my friend. Here's a few for ya! ((d))
((d))

Okay I gotta rave...

Found my travel outfit today! getting excited and nervous about our trip.

I still wish our sons were coming along and I feel a little sad when I read terrific trip reports like fun4alls recent one. Reminds me so much of our travel time together. But I'm gonna have fun and tell them all about it so that they'll be begging to come along next time! :D
