Too funny!

As busy as Dekay will be, he'll never notice, Shannon! LOL!

[infernalis]

Shannon, Limon has been alone for some time, can he borrow your friend for a bit

[jitami]

Really, though, Wayne, you only have 9 years before the last little one hits 18... 9 years will fly by so quickly... of course nothing magical happens at 18 and we can only hope that we've prepared them well enough that they become independent at some point (they have to, right? eventually? lol)

[infernalis]

Yeah, but when Amanda (My 25 year old) bought a lakefront home with Al and my Grand daughter, I lost a best friend

They live a mere 5 miles away, and they are so wrapped up in their own lives, that my daughter flies by the house and beeps her horn. (That's the closest thing I get to a visit!)

Once upon a time, her and I were sewn together at the hip...

[jitami]

Yeah... that's what I'm worried about and having boys, it'll be even tougher. Guys tend to move where the girl wants... sigh... my mom is still very involved with our family and comes to all of my boys games, school functions, etc. but hubby's parents make no effort whatsoever to see the kids? Weird...

[Lori P]

Good for me...

[Sid]

The 20th of Jul 2009 is fine with me.

I'll pm Wayne and see if he and I can work up an agenda to at least some degree.

[Garter_Gertie]

This is just my opinion - and I'm not even planning to go. I'd look into trying to change the date. Not trying to brown-nose LuLu, but... She does have a long way to go and college is so important.

I know it would mean a lot to me to have people work around my college or work schedule across the pond because they liked me and wanted me there bad enuff...

Now, if the date changed and LuLu could come but 10 others couldn't then I'd look at the first given date.

I just think it's only fair to work with someone that wants to come so badly, is willing to spend the money to come so far, and has put forth a valid reason for scheduling difficulties. And this isn't the first time she's asked about the date and mentioned college.

To be fair to her, I think a decision should be made - tyring to change the date - and LuLu be given an answer so she's not hanging in limbo.

Sid, didn't you say another date would be possible?

[Snake lover 3-25]

i hope i can come

[adamanteus]

I guess it's for as long or as short as you like, Lou.... What's the chances of us all being available on the same few days? I guess the longer you stay, the more members you'll meet.
