Bob, if you want some good food in New York, perhaps we can meet in Staten Island or Brooklyn and I will show you around a little and we can go for good Italian food on the 29th. let me know. Or if that is not a good idea, let me know and I can recommend some places, but it would be nice to meet.:)

Great Bob, I will keep checking on the strike, but like I said, it shouldn't last too long. You have my phone number so I will tell everyone that if Spongebob calls not to think it is some nutcase lol. I can't wait to meet your family, I just got a new job today so I hope I won't be working, but it is just at Wal-mart so If I am working I can plan my lunch hour for when you are coming through.

Ginger, I think it would be great if Bob could meet you and Bastable and OI together. You guys are the greatest! Any possibility of that? If not the 3 of you then he should NOT miss meeting you!

ACK!!
I'm still at camp for another week, but I'll be able to be on he computer more after that.
Though, I still have no clue as to what I'm supposed to do to meet you Bob.
LOL
I'll just drive around Halifax and look for a large yellow sponge family

I didn't get any emails that you might have sent me.
Re-send it (If you sent one) to nekotvch@hotmail.com

I'll be in touch soon, Neko. :)
I'll be able to check the board and email almost every night on the road, so we still have some time to figure out a place to meet. Maybe LLkoolaid or Adven (where'd he go again) may know of a good place to meet. I'll ask her next time I talk to her. Hope you're having a great time at camp!

Ginger, I'll send you an email either tonight or tomorrow morning to let you know what our schedule is for Friday the 29th. The afternoon and evening are flexible, so I'm sure we can arrange something. :)

Twinkie! Just over 100 hours! Yay!

Bob, have a great family vacation and I'll catch you on the West Coast tour when you come out next year....right?!!

Ok Bob, great, I look forward to it. :)

Spongie, you are taking me with you on your trip, right? RIGHT?

Bob2112

Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:36 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I sure am, Juju!
That is, once you and I get back from the California trip with Tess!

Eggie: Next year is north west, so you may have to repeat the trip you just made.
We're thinking: Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Vancouver.

You know Spongie...that may be a possibility!

Yay, Spongie, I will be ready to go again when Tess gets us back home.

And of course I look forward to you coming out here next summer.

Bob, I know you already know which corner of Wyoming to go to and which 3 corners to stay out of. When you go to Vancouver, you need to look for whales. When you see one, you need to take a picture. After that I need to you pretty please send it to Miss Sarah since we had to cut out that part of this year's trip. Don't worry. I'll remind you a few dozen times before next year. :)

Juju, pack your bags because there will be little more than 24 hours between the time you two get home from my road trip and the time you leave on The Great Sponge GetAway.

Eggie, Bob and I are on opposite schedules. Next year while he is out west, my family will be out east. The following year, we will be out west again. Goodness only knows where the Sponges are going.

Bob, I am sure if you thought really hard you could figure out a way to fit MN into your route. Everyone I meet thinks our families have already met at least once, if not several times.

Hey Bob, Iowa is just as close as Minnesota. So if you fit Minnesota into one of your trips, you can surely fit in little ole Iowa too. :)

Bob, have a great time on your trip!! My Grandmother was born in Halifax, so I'm anxious to hear all about it! Enjoy your vacation!

Hey Bob, I haven't gotten the information on the harbour tours yet but my brother who is also a lurker here lives in Halifax and has friends in tourism there and he is going to get some information for me to give to you. I gave him the information such as kids age, time and whatever and he is going to get them to put something together for you so you can get the most out of your few hours there. If I don't have it before you leave I will have it when we meet.

Happy motoring Bob, get lots of sleep tonight and be careful on those highways.

Whew! Glad to hear you have resolved your power source problem Bob!

I wonder how lost you'd be without your laptop!

Thanks, LL and 1/2.

I was unwired for only 12 hours and it was not a great feeling. I guess it was better that it happened last night and not tomorrow night! Ack!

International Calling Question

What is the best way to call the USA from Canada?
Is there a prepaid calling card I should get or a pay as you go 800 number?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

I'm not sure, I just dial direct but with a cell it would be differant. I think I would get a prepaid calling card. Ask your phone company, a quick call should give you the infor you need. My sister-in-law comes home and she just uses her cell and calls direct.

I am so bummed, I am not going to be able to meet Bob, I haven't gotten in contact with him but today was my first day of work and tomorrow is all orientation all day and they couldn't give me any idea when my breaks or lunch will be, it depends on how far we are along with the program. We have to do so much and then break and then not leave the store and so since he is only going to be stopping by for a few minutes it doesn't appear that it will happen. If I get in contact with him he can pop in and might catch me learning something on the floor for a minute but that would be very lucky. I spent almost all day in a little room watching videos and having presentations and then being quizzed on them, it was hell.

I am not a happy camper with all this brainwashing crap that they are shovelling me. I will probably be there shortest staying employee in the company history. I am quite capable of thinking for myself and can't cope with this bull.
Do people really believe this stuff.

Guess what, things worked out, he is coming tomorrow, I got the days wrong and my schedule wrong. Anyway I am working when he comes by but they are coming into the store so I will see them then. Not much but I am happy to at least get to meet someone from TVCH.

NEKO, CHECK YOUR E-MAIL, IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BOB.

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:35 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I already got the one he sent earlier today if that's what you meant.
Cause I just checked my email and there's no new messages...

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 02:25 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yay, LL!!! That is great news.

Jed, 10-10-987 presumes you have a number that you pay the billing from, such as your home phone. Not sure it would work from a hotel. sorry I didn't see this question sooner, but the Sponge is a resourceful invertebrate, so I expect he figured something out. www.callingcard.com has one listed for 2 cents a minute, expires in 90 days, sounds perfect for a vacation.
