Not Only Is It Friday !!!
 

But it is the beginning of a Looong Weekend!!
Picture me doing a Happy Dance \:D/

What will YOU be doing this Labor Day Weekend? and Where ?
Whatever you do, I wish you a Safe and Happy holiday !

Speak for yourself, Ms. Scarlett. No long weekend here, unfortunately. However, we do get other holidays that the US doesn't.

BTW - I emailed you in the last day or two, but my mail server has been down...did you get it? I asked you how Pup is since his run-in with Mr. Tick.

Everyone enjoy your holiday and don't forget to post a trip report when you return!

Hi Statia! I did get that email and responded, I will re-send it :)
The Pup is fine, ready and willing to risk the Park again this weekend ((&))

My birthday is at the end of August. My older son's is after the labor day. This year we're combinig both spending at least a day in Calistoga. Can't wait to see the geiser!

Not only is it Friday and a long weekend, but I know of three of my Fodors friends who are headed across the pond (or to other exciting destinations)! Have fun you lucky people!!!!

Grasshopper, our turn will come !!!

Ahh, labor day, funny name for a time when one does no labor (hopefully) For me, my raft is waiting and I'm going to doze on the peaceful waters of the lake and dream of Italy which is only one month away! YIPPEE!!

Daughter's birthday party is tomorrow!! So we'll have a big cookout and hopefully she can enjoy it. She's expecting and hot, humid weather and pregnancy doesn't agree too well.

Sunday we travel!! Up to northeastern PA for hubby's class reunion. That should be a blast!!

((8))"It's 5((O)) somewhere..."((8))

Almost time to call it "((B)):30".

Mucho mahalos to allllllll.
Kal

Friday we are going to hear Big Bad Voodoo Daddy jazz it up at the Conner Prairie Ampitheatre in Indy.

Saturday we pick up my parents at the airport. They'll be staying at our house making sure the kids don't go wild when we're in Italy for two weeks!

Sunday we are visiting friends for brunch--it'll be a fun day.

Monday we are saying official farewells to summer with a barbeque. Corn on the cob, burgers, watermelon, ice cream and peaches. And lots of cold ice tea and beer!

You too have a wonderful holiday weekend, Scarlett. I lurk on this forum a lot more than I post and I thank you and Kal and many others who provide witty and interesting repartee. I always enjoy it but I'm afraid I was out for lunch when the necessary gene for that talent was available.

Tonight I'm going to do something fun with some friends on the Windward side. Don't know what it is yet....I guess figuring it out is half the fun!

Running 12 miles on Sunday, then off to my family's annual reunion picnic in Hawaii Kai. (Used to be on the North Shore but the fam decided they prefer pool swimming.)

dwoody-Mrs Kal always remarks about my keen wit...something about only using half of it? :-?

dln,
BBVD roxxxx!!!
For my B'day, I want to take Amtrac up to Reno and see the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
We got hooked on this type of music about 10+ yrs ago when we went to the Monterey Squid Fest and saw a group called Indigo Swing. They appeared in Sacto a few times after that and actually toured w/ Setzer a few years back.

Ahhhh..the Squid Fest!

Yardwork..the emitter system(if we survive this one it will be a miracle)!), a wine tasting of old vine zins and shopping for iris and daff bulbs. Fitting..I am working on Labor Day! Happy Holiday to all.

Pammer, dahhhling!

"Emitters?" NEVER emit nuthin' without your lawyer present!

I'm hooked on a mixture of blueberries, macadamia and walnuts with a good Zin!!!!

Actually had it for dinner the other night. Betty Ford, here I come!

I'm joining AAAAA because I'm driving myself to drink.

dwooddon
(If you are , who I think you are) You are a gentleman and not every man has THAT gene!
Kal .. blueberries & macadamias? sounds lovely..Can you drive yet with that knee ? or will Mrs Kal drive you to drink?
We started our holiday with dinner at a small perfect Japanese restaurant, ending the meal with Blood Orange sorbet..my taste buds are still tingling :)

You really work? Hmm...it would seem you do nothing more than plant your butt in front of the computer, log onto this website and spend countless empty hours spewing inane drivel then wait on like minded simpletons to chime in. Such fun! Boy, you DO need a looong weekend. What will you do with it? Go out and find some miniscule thing to whine about and then hurry home to start the next thread?

Ooooo, iffy, I can tell who really needs that long weekend. Maybe you'll have a chance to get those cranky pants off.

Listen up, Kal, this is for you!!!

We almost didn't go tonight to listen to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy because it was pouring down rain and miserable. :(

But you said they roxxxx, and we believed you, so we went!

Talk about shoulder shakin' hip swingin' music!!!!!
(({)) ((})) (({)) ((}))

I wore out my dancing shoes and my husband was Mambo King of the Night!

Thanks Kal for pushing us out the door and giving us a great start for the Labor Day weekend **==.

Plus, we bought their latest greatest CD and I met the base player and chatted him up for a few minutes and he was a really sweet guy. ((Y)) Talk about talent!

The house is clean, and now it is time for some serious grocery shopping. Having a large surprise birthday party at our house, with family and friends for DP.

Hope your weekend is great, Scarlett, Statia, FainaAgain, Grasshopper, Swalter518, LN, Kal, dln, dwooddon, MelissaHI, PamSF, iffy, Marilyn, and the rest of you great Fodorites too.....

Paul

Thanks, Paul! My weekend will be just dandy as long as Fabian continues to head northwest, rather than due west. (Sorry all you east coast folks).

no iffy, I don't actually work. I do spend my days sitting here logged on the computer, wishing I had a life, sort of like you.
But until then, I will wait until my butt gets bigger and post more drivel, hoping someone posts back on one of my inane threads.
It is touching to see the interest you have shown in me, especially since you have never posted on here before...at least as IFFY.
Wishing you a Happy Holiday Weekend and Hoping you get a better attitude!
Scarlett

Go Scarlett!!

I HAVE posted a few times on this site over the past few weeks. I am amazed at how rude people can be! Just goes to show some people...iffy....have issues with intelligent, witty women.
I thoroughly enjoy your repartee Scarlett - Keep it up!!!

Hey there Scarlett

Don't you just LOVE posters like Iffy who get on board to post ridiculous drivel in an anonymous voice.

It is amazing what people feel that they must contribute. But then again perhaps Iffy is just having a horrible day.

My Mom used to say "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."

Have a great weekend!!!

LN, don't you think iffy would have to spend his life as a mute, if he listened to your mother!!! HA HA!

Scarlett - Now you really have my curiousity at a fevered pitch. Who do you think I am?

Actually, I'm just a old retired cop doing some real estate in the coastal paradise of Laguna Niguel-Mission Viejo, CA

Oh la! dwooddon, on second thought you might not be who I thought you were, unless you are also a photographer?
But you are definitely a Gentleman so I am still correct :) and a police man, excellent !

Laguna~sigh~ I lived in La Jolla as a child.

addison :) I think iffy just has issues .

Thank you though for your kind words.

Hey Scarlett

You are too funny "I spend my days sitting here logged on the computer, wishing I had a life . . wait until my butt gets bigger and post more drivel"

My husband thinks that's me! And I work full time, have 2 little kids and I fired the maid to save my money to go to Africa (I think you saw the pics - thanks!) and I do absolutely nothing but spend my days logged onto the computer! And my butt keeps getting bigger too!

Weekend plans - gathering on Sunday, grilling a tenderloin and all the goodies and Monday maybe a little antique-ing (don't know how to spell that).

Have a great one!

Cindy

Darn....I've been misssing all the fun!!
Oh, Ms Scarlett, just keep it up...
Maybe Iffy can't???

LOL, Bailey, it does indeed look iffy for you-know-who :D
Cindy!!! Thank you, while some would think I did nothing else but watch my butt get bigger, WE know how much a person can get done in a day and still stay on top of things at Fodors!

Scarlett - Now I'm really intrigued. I am a photographer and writer and have had my photos published in a large number of newspapers, magazines, and web sites, both with my articles and as stand-alone photography. Do I know you from somewhere other than Fodors?

Scarlett, Precious, what a classy and funny reply to that dreadful Iffy Creature!

Long may you post here, my dear!

Scarlett (and others) - I'm a little concerned about all of you nice folks watching your butts get bigger. Please don't hurt yourselves. I tried doing that and had to go visit the chiropractor a few times. :)

Meesthare: Unfortunately, some sadist invented 3-way mirrors, so we no longer have to put our backs out to watch our butts grow larger.

Jeez, I put a little weight on there and the first run I did this season, It felt like two little kittens fighting back there. I think one left now after a month or so.

Iffy, I see you have only posted once, so it means you have another name. That is cowardly, I have criticize our loved scarlet, she deals with it so no need to be sneaky, I'm no syncaphant, nor does she care, so be yourself, be up front, not a worm.

As an occasional admirer of derrieres

I really don't mind if it they are a bit "oversized". There's just more to admire! :)

oooh, Jason, then you will really admire mine! :D

MelHi-Yeah...but it's a nice "runner's okole"! O:)

Nobody likes driving on a straight road for long. I need some curves! ;)

Speaking of okoles, one reason I actually turned on the computer during my Non-Labor celebration, is one of my Steelers was shot in the rear outside a bar in Denver, CO. =-O
He may misss the season opener.

I also had to log on to track Hurricane Jimena. Looks like the major portion will miss the Big Island. Keeping all fingers crossed.

One final posterior story...MINE IS KILLIN' ME!!! I went out and did my first 2 bike rides since April Saturday and yesterday and I may need a do-nut!

And like an idiot, I just gave the jogging Mrs Kal a 30min. head start so now I'm going to go try and catch her
on my bike.

Alooohaaaaaa ((#))B-)
