Strawberry | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:22 am     Yay, the Sponge and M finally met and nobody was off'ed during dinner hehe Thanks for sharing and I hope you tipped your waitress really good!  |
Tess | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 02:41 pm     Sounds like you had a fabulous time, Mware. I'm so glad! Can't imagine nicer people getting together! |
Llkoolaid | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 07:18 pm     Mware, sounds like you had a great time, I felt the same way about the sponge family although I was only with them for 20 minutes. Just nice, nice people. |
Ginger1218 | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 08:15 am     I am soooo disappointed. I was on jury duty and was deliberating till rather late and did not get to meet the Sponges Although I did speak to Bob and heard about their day and their plans for the evening. I hope they enjoyed it and loved NYC. |
Halfunit | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 10:13 am     Last night, I had the opportunity to meet the endearing and absorbent Sponge Family. We decided to meet at The Cracker Barrel, just across the highway from where they were staying for the evening. Our introductions were made in the gift shop. Bob, MrsBob, BobSon, and BobDaughter. We had to wait for a table, so the BobKids decided to play a game of checkers, and MrsBob was browsing the merchandise. Bob and I did our best to converse while trying to avoid the shopping tourists. As we waited for our table (same predicament as the Mware meeting - nothing for 5), we wandered over to where the BobKids had been playing checkers. Seems BobSon had given BobDaughter a Sponge beating in the game, so Bob took over and finished off the game. I believe he bailed BobDaughter out! BobSon then went off and was demonstrating to other shoppers the puzzle skills he acquired from the Mware meeting. After quite some time, MrsBob went to find out what was going on, and after a brief mix-up with our table, we were seated. LET THE GAB SESSION BEGIN! Just as in Mware's summary, we talked about a variety of subjects. The Sponge Vacation, tv shows, computers, you name it! I had some BB4 events to fill them in on, and I did my best to remember what had happened. I was delighted to find out that MrsBob has a huge interest in reality tv also. I hope to see her as a member someday! Ahem... Laptop... Stand... Couch... The time flew by, and I was really enjoying our visit. By the time we knew it, we were the last people in the building who weren't collecting a paycheck for being there. We moved the party outside, where we had a few laughs by pressing the panic buttons on our remote car lock thingies. Bob won, as he can open his sliding door from 30 feet away. I have no sliding door, lol. Meep Meep. This was truly a pleasure for me, and if the Traveling Sponges ever hit I-77, I hope they make a pitstop so I can take them on a tour of the Warther's Museum!
. . . . . PS - Bob, can you make sure that BobDaugher sees this pic. Notice the placement, in FRONT of the Bobby helmet from London, lol.  |
Egbok | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:23 am     Great report Half! Sure sounds like another successful TVCH meeting. It was good to learn that MrsSponge is a reality TV junkie too. And lastly, I love the classic Butt Shot picture!! |
Pamy | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:43 am     Half!!! YOu look just like me!!!! Our hair is the same color!! I just cut mine, otherwise it would have looked almost like yours in the back! DAMN! now if you ever get your hands on my Dopey, he might not know he was catnapped!! Sounds like you all had a great time! |
Weinermr | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:46 am     Great visit Half and Bob x 4! Thanks for sharing! |
Hippyt | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Half,when did you color your hair? It looks great! Sounds like you guys had a nice time. Those Spongies sure do get around! |
Halfunit | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:09 pm     LOL you guys... I haven't colored my hair since February, and it was the temporary 30 day wash out kind, at that. (It was a mahogany color though!) The pic in my profile with Urgrace and Teatime is a better representation of what it really looks like. I think the difference here is that I blew it out straight, and I had it in a clip in the back. The lighting inside is making it look more red than it really is. But, if it gets me any closer to Dopey, then so be it!  |
Pamy | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:21 pm     LOL!! |
Glenn | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:42 pm     Hmmm, I am wondering if there is any significance to the fact that Halfunit took all that extra time with her hair when she met the Sponge versus the natural look when meeting Urgrace.  |
Halfunit | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Ah perceptive one... the difference is leaving the house at 9am for MI, and leaving the house at 5pm for OH. |
Urgrace | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 02:53 pm     Hi all! Well, I think Half looked terrific when we met and I recognized her immediately! Teatime has great hair too, and I stole her hat once just to get a look at it. It was so exciting to meet them and their dh's, and I wish that I had more time to spend with them that day. What wonderful, sweet people they all are, and I love their genuine smiles in the pictures we took. There is a lot to tell about my road trip, especially since I had very little contact with any computers during the three weeks and two days we were gone and I don't have capability to post pictures. More later. Glad to be home. |
Bob2112 | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 03:27 pm     Houston, the Sponges have landed! |
Tess | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 04:56 pm     Yay!!!!! |
Heyltslori | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 05:00 pm     Woohoo! Can't wait for more pics!  |

Hahahahaha, that is SO Sponge-like. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, Half? Bob? Have y'all switched from axes to guns without telling the rest of us??? (look closely at butt-shot photos) The Sponge family has splashed down??? Yay!!! Sounds like y'all had a terrific time. Yay traveling Sponges!!!
Edit: Bob, hurry up and get your undies squished out. You're going on the road again with me and Bigdog early Wednesday morning. Yellowstone. |
Halfunit | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 05:17 pm     Heh heh Juju... Being a pistola woman myself, I thought it only appropriate. We actually tried to remove the shotgun from the wall, but it was wired down. And as for the horn blowing vehicles, I place all the blame on BobDaughter! I'm glad to see Gracie and Spongie and families are home safe and sound. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 06:12 pm     Bob, so glad to hear that you and your family arrived home safe and sound, can't wait to hear all about your trip. Get some rest, you always need it after a vacation. |
Tntitanfan | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 05:13 am     Yea! I heard from Knightpatti in Myrtle Beach, and we are planning to meet! Hope we won't be dodging any hurricanes as we make out way up the Atlantic coast!! Seamonkey has offered to do updates, so I won't be completely off the board! |
Theowl | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 06:57 am     Yay TTFan!! Have a safe and fun trip!! Thanks SeaMonkey for any updates you can give us. A month without TTFan is like a month without sunshine!!  |
