Cindori, My niece and her husband hang out at the Recipezaar message board much the way I hang out here. There is a real community feeling over there too and lots of yummy recipes to try out. They have a really great recipe there for microwave potato chips. When you get to the site, click on the Talk tab and that is their message board. If you run into someone named Kerrbear tell her her Aunt Kim sent you.

15. Would you consider yourself to be romantic? Sure.

18. What was the latest notable event in your life. (death in the family, wedding, new job.) Mom’s stroke.

Bonnyswan- I had a feeling we were about the same age before I even looked at your profile :) I used to me a Warehouse member too, but they never sent my introductory stuff when I joined, which buged me because I even called them about it. I did get Busted Stuff early though through them :)

Where did you live in Arizona? I moved to Flagstaff when I was 18 and was there (at NAU) for two years. My cousins are all from Maine too- from Brunswick. Where did you grow up there? When I was about 15 my cousin and I walked for 10 miles on some highway near Bingham (from a rest area to the town) because we were mad at our moms- mother daughter trip gone bad LOL- and refused to get back in the car with them. Nothing cool like a meteor shower but it was (and will remain) the only time in my life where I sang the entire 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall song. Yeah, we had fun while we were walking :)

Kaili...I LOVE being a member of The Warehouse (Im just kicking myself for not doing it sooner) I never got introductory stuff either but I TOTALLY forgive them because I DID get tickets thru them for the Central Park Concert last week and it was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my life! 50 feet from the stage in a sea of 100,000 people! Crazy good time.

I grew up in Central Maine between Augusta (otherwise known as Dis-gusta) and Waterville...not the "vacationland" that comes to mind when people imagine Maine but it was great place to grow up. I moved to AZ at 18 and went to NAU also. So I lived in both Tempe and Flag.

Wow...we have a lot in common...:)

Out of his eye!!??? Oh wow! Yuck! LOL!

I was just at Shopko...I didn't even know Dave has a new CD out- I just bought it!!! Eeeeeee!!! So excited! I saw him/them at Desert Sky Pavilion in '98 (I think...)- it was soooo good! When i saw him here in wisconsin about 2 years later- the crowd here was awful- they were great but there was so little enthusiasm they didn't even come back out when they finished the first time- throughout the whole show people were standing around talking like they were just at a party and the stereo was on in the background.

Friday, October 03, 2003 - 10:44 am EditMoveDeleteIP
OMG...I WENT TO THAT SHOW TOO!...this is too funny!...It was a great show...and I think it was in 98 because my son hadnt been born yet but I was preggo and remember being worried that the "fumes" were bad for me. NOT something I had ever worried about before..hehe

Kaili

Friday, October 03, 2003 - 10:59 am EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL- one thing I remember regarding fumes, was Dave saying some of the people in the front needed to go to the grass seats where there's lots of grass (and saying he was so hot but not sweating). Ahhhh....looooovveee....Daaaave :) :)

Everytime I listen to "Before these Crowded Streets" it takes me back to the drive to the concert and waiting on the highway in the traffic. Great memories.
