Car54 | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 11:59 am     Grooch...tell her not to come home yet! Today has been the coldest day of the season and we are expecting even more snow next week they say! |
Grooch | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 11:59 am     Well, this morning, Mr Bat asked if I noticed he shaved his beard off this week, and sad to say, I didn't notice. lol! |
Grooch | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Oh, goodie, Car!!!! She will just have to spend next week with me. I told her this morning that Kia was going to be on TS this Sat. She made a face and said she was glad she was going to miss it.  |
Squaredsc | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 01:12 pm     grooch thanks, i may need it. tell ms. bat i will tape kia for her, lol.  |
Webkitty | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Hi everyone! We just made it home from Key Largo. We had a wonderful time and I'm so happy we went. Everything Grooch said about the place Bat is staying is true, I was impressed, and I live in Florida! lol. MsBat and Grooch are awesome! I love them both to pieces. Bat and her dh warm and gracious hosts, and we went to a restaurant on the water, were we had a lovely meal while we were waiting for Grooch to get there. (Bat was thoughtful enough to order Grooch dinner to bring back with us as Grooch drove straight down from Miami after work) Mr Bat is so sweet! After we got back from dinner, Bat and my hubby had a chocolate attack, and he was nice enough to run out before the show started so they could get their chocolate fix, lol. Bat is petit, youthful, elegant, fun and easy to talk to. Grooch is tall and willowy with big blue eyes. (and very sweet and fun and easy to talk to also) We got into a giggle fest at the end with my Survior project, but my dh and Bat's dh took it all in stride and both seemed to enjoy our fun. (Grooch, you were cracking me up big time) This all made for the best Survivor ever! It was so much fun to watch with true fans and new friends.  |
Grooch | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 02:24 pm     Whoo! Hoo! I'm glad you made it back safely, Webkitty. I had such a great time too and I am so glad that I met you and DH. We'll have to have a Florida TVCH reunion and have Twiggy meet up with us. Maybe we can do it for the next big reality show premiere. It can be a new TVCH tradition!  |
Webkitty | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 02:38 pm     I'm in!! (Twiggy must come next time!) |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 03:10 pm     I want to come next time!! I missed you all. Plus, it's been years since I've been to the keys. (even Key Largo) It would have been a nice trip! |
Donut | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 08:47 pm     I was just sitting around watching TV and had this daydream of the Ultimate Fantasy TVCH Roadtrip... wasnt sure where to start this as a thread so i just put it here...cuz its really a result of fear, panic and sadness on the state of things..and i oddly enuf don't see any threads where anyone else but me seems to be expressing those thoughts..maybe i havent been here enuf lately so i dont know where things are kept these days... anyways, the point of all this was to share my little rambling fantasy that i just had about a giant caravan of TVCHers heading out to start a new community...(only if we were pioneers we would never behave as badly as those idiots on Frontier House) I started thinking that if things get even scarier around here (U.S), that maybe the west coast TVCHers would like to start out and come across country picking up other TVCHers along the way and then head up the east coast and then go into Canada where our TVCHers from there would greet us at the border and we would all head up to a little coastal town and start our own TVCH communal village where we could live out our lives in peace, humor and opinion sharing and have a big town hall with a wallsized TV and meet for reality TV viewing...(and all watch in the same timezone!) anyways, this started cuz i was watching Iron Chef and was thinking that they are just over in Japan enjoying their sushi with no fear of anything but raw fish parasites and thought a few of us Iron Chef fans should move there, but that seemed so far away and thus grew my feeble little fantasy.. anyways, sorry to have not been able to be around here much but i miss you all, but i dont have time to post much more, cuz i am gonna go keep hubby company while we relax after a tiring day of hanging with dad in law at the hospital after he puked, fainted and fell... he seems fine now, hopefully... It was very odd because there were some circumstances at our apt building creeping me out in a terrorist-threat-induced kind of way and hubby reluctantly humored my stupid whim of wanting to get out of there for a nite and stay at dad in laws house, and lo and behold if we hadnt been here, who knows what would have happned with him?...(and puhleeze, no psychic comments..i am not Zora...) ok, valentines kisses to you all... |
Egbok | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 09:32 pm     Donut! I'm 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean so I'll start heading East and pick up a TVCHer. Okay, I'm getting ready to leave, taking the 91 East...who do I pick up first? |
Zachsmom | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 10:03 pm     Hey Egbok..where do you live? I am in Orange County! Don't forget me!! |
Weinermr | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 10:12 pm     North on the 5, 2 miles south of Magic Mountain, .6 miles west of the freeway. I'll pack my bags. |
Donut | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 10:36 pm     hooray, only 3000 miles 'til you get to my house!! I'll have the cocoa with marshmallow or whipped cream ready since you guys aren't used to the 20 below windchill... |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 05:20 am     Don't forget to get Wargod! |
Egbok | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 09:18 am     I would never forget to get Wargod!! Are you ready War?? Weinermr, I think I saw your house last weekend on my way home from Fresno! Zachsmom, I'm in Lomita and I can be at your house in about 30 minutes! Are you coming to Santa Barbara in August to meet Tess? |
Urgrace | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 10:13 am     Donut, I think it would turn into more than 3000 miles with all the zigzagging to pick us all up! And timewise, by the time we all get picked up and arrive, it will probably be spring! Eg, when you and the others have combed the west, let me know when you get to central Texas! Oh, one more thought, we may need more than one wall size tv screen  |
Wargod | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 12:13 pm     I've been ready, LOL! Darren keeps coming up with all these vacation days he needs, and I keep reminding him he has to save at least two for the trip to Santa Barbara. I can't wait! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 12:54 pm     hopefully by the time you get to me all of this snow will be gone so you all can get through. i will expect you all by friday. oh and angel and ms. kitti will have to come with me too. |
Twiggyish | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 06:02 pm     I would love to do that Donut! =) I'd get a big bus and pick up everyone on my way up. |
Spygirl | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 06:32 pm     I'm leaving in the morning for my interview in Kansas. I will get to meet Sukii in the afternoon!! whoohooo!! She is gonna show me the town Tuesday is an all day blitz of interviews, but I'll have lunch and dinner tomorrow with the faculty. My laptop is traveling with me, so I'll be in chat sometime Monday, I hope. I'll probably text message Wargod just because it helps to pass the time (for me anyway). Poor Wargod has to listen to me, but she pretends really well to enjoy it.  |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 08:38 pm     I'm HOME!!! Finally! It was GREAT to meet Cyn in NYC! She is very nice, and I wish that I could have had more time to spend with her, but I was at a crazy, busy conference and she was having a REALLY crazy, busy week at work! I look forward to catching up with her in June when I return for the "Spy and Marm get their PhD celebration and TVCH reunion" I had a great time in NYC. Took the subway after I convinced my roommate that it was safe. Had concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Riverside Church, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Marriott Marquis. WAY too much to do! My research presentation went really well. I thought that they only had 10 papers submitted and took all of them...well, they turned down 20 papers and then out of the 10 of us with posters, they invited 6 of us to speak, and I was one of them. WHOO HOO! I ate lots of awesome food in NYC! Had breakfast at Lindy's, which is famous for the line in "Guys and Dolls" about betting on whether Lindy's sells more cheesecake or strudel...the cheesecake looked incredible. Had a HUGE hunk o' prime rib at Kennedy's, and an awesome pizza at an Italian Bistro near the Ambassador theater where "Chicago" was playing. I got rush tix ($25) for Chicago, and it was great. Saw all the protesters on Saturday. Some of their signs were really clever, some were silly, some were stupid and some were just plain mean. There were lots of police out and there was a disturbance south of Times Square. I think that they arrested several people for disorderly conduct. On Sunday, I went to church at St. Thomas and heard a friend of mine play the organ. I also saw two other organists who knew me, so it was old home week! What fun! Drove past ground zero. There are no words to describe it. Very memorable. A good trip! Drove through a snowstorm to get home. Next on my agenda: Providence, Rhode Island the first week of March. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 05:39 am     Yay, Marm! As usual you covered more ground than most of us do in a year. |
Grooch | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 06:59 am     Whoo! Hoo! Thanks to the snow storms on the east coast, Ms. Bat is going to spend the night again at my house. Yipee!!! We get to watch the Joe Millionaire finale togther. This is so great! She will be at my house around 6:30 tonight. Maybe I am going to have to call in sick tomorrow. <cough, cough, sniffle, wheeze!> |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:16 am     Well, Bat left this morning after spending the past 2 nights at my house. We had a great time (I called in sick yesterday and came into work late this morning.) She is going to visit and stay overnight at a cousin's up the coast and then head back home, weather permitting. She should be home Sunday or Monday and she better post on the board as soon as she gets home. I miss her already. |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:25 am     See the "Facts about you" thread for the Marm and Cyn NYC butt shot...it is VERY dark. I'm the one with the pasty white legs! |
