Title: My thoughts on the convention(long) Post by Linda_Howell on Sep 18th, 2002, 5:39pm First of all I have to say something to SF Chris........ Your airport sucks. After taking the puddle jumper from Sacramento to San Fransisco, they left us off to catch our connecting flight about as far away as is humanly possible. About 3 miles I would figure. I managed to rush onboard the flight to Vancouver just as they were taxing down the run-way. After getting to the hotel, I met up with Elaine who was sharing my room with me. I FINALLY met Margi and Mike after only talking to her through lilttle black squiggles for 4 years. People!!!!!!!!!!!! She is just as beautiful and funny as you already think she is. Mike is a total crack-up. By the way.........Canadians really talk funny. But their money is pretty. "eh" and I stil don't understand why almost every sign is in French when this was BRITISH Columbia??????? Even though I had already met some people like Elaine, DJ, Bonnie and Warren...Elaine and I hit it off as room mates. We women can always tell if we're gonna hit it off if we go shopping together and it's comfortable. We took pics of each other in the Canadians version of "Victorias Secret" Her with a bra and me with a thong. (OVER OUR CLOTHES SLAMMY) As our people started coming in, in dribs and drabs we all met outside in the patio of the hotel where we could smoke and drink and of course be loud. We had a waiter named David who was inthralled with the lot of us and joined in our fun. I mentioned something about candles on the tables and presto! there they were. I also finally got to Mastiff of the "ugly dogs" fame. She was getting outta her car, and I went up to hug her and she looked at me like I was from another planet. (she hugged me back when she knew who the hell I was) I was very impressed with Dr. Robinsons presentation as well as Doug Wrights. Doug, a thousand thank you's for the 02. You have no idea of how much I appreciate you supplying that. When I got hit so bad Fri. nite...or was it sat.???? He helped me through the whole thing, as did Liz. They even went so far as to put pillows everywhere. I felt like I was in a loony bin. LOL I needed that 02 about 4 times through-out the convention, but none as much as that one night. Liz I hope you have recovered from me. (oh! and Charlie? Liz is exactly like her persona) Don't hate us for the pic of us flipping you off, O.K. I didn't mean it. Mob mentally ) The night I got hit so hard Elaine and I stayed up til 4 am laughing our fool heads off. Then Bama came to stay with us for the last night, and between her and Elaine and I we laughed so hard my stomache muscles are still all cramped up. I haven't laughed so hard and so often since.............well. At last years convention. Bama is so very intelligent, funny and a great story-teller and I thank God I got to finally meet this lady with the soft southern drawl and the "grits" that I loved so much in Atlanta. Between the 2 of-em, a'm steel talk-in like em.... THE GOLF TOURNAMENT!!!!!!! Who the fucks idea was this?????? My middle name is no longer Marie. It's "DIVOT" As we split up into groups of four, some idiot put our group up first(our group consisted of Margi, Deb, Elaine and I with DJ as our caddy) Then some equally brain-dead person put me up to shoot first. huh? So now Everyone is watching me tear up the grass. Mind you, I didn't say make contact with the ball. After Elaine got hit and had to leave, DJ took her place, but only after clearing it "Field marshall Rommel" DJ is a GREAT golfer. He made the Birdie!!!! Sheeeeeesh. Our team ended up with a trophy for Low-net team and if it wasn't for someone who shall remain nameless, I would have gotten it for longest drive. I believe it was about 30 feet. Yee-haw! Now here is where I must put in a disclaimer regarding Jonny's blow-job. After everyone was through and Margi was totaling up scores, I happened to notice dear little Piera with a hose in her hand blowing off dried grass from her shoes. Jonny was already on a roll, so I got up and quietly asked him if he wanted a blow-job? Michelle took a pic, and the rest is on the pic page for eternity. Yes, Edna.....Jonny does hunt and peck. Pics don't really do justice to how much fun we had. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have clusterheadaches. Bonnie, Warren, Margi, Mike and Tracy. Thank you for all you did. I know how hard this is & I applaud you all. Thank you Deb for helping me out with golf and giving me the high-five even when I didn't deserve it. Bill is a sweetheart. Elaine and Bama. Thank you for that great last night. I really don't think I have ever laughed that hard. Bonnie, I saw you holding your stomach too. (Elaine thought I had jumped out the window at Bill and Debs room) Since I was the last one outta Vancouver, I just want you to all know I shut off the lights. Linda who will probably think of more later.....Linda Howell |

Title: Re: My thoughts on the convention(long) Post by Bob P on Sep 18th, 2002, 5:54pm It's very obvious how our national security has stepped up since 9/11. It took me 45 minutes to cross the border into Canada and 1 minute to cross back into the US. The only thing the US guy asked me was if I had any drugs. I said no, which of course was a lie, and got waved through. |

Title: Re: My thoughts on the convention(long) Post by Charlie on Sep 18th, 2002, 5:56pm That was fun Linda. You gotta way wit woids. As for flippin' me off, no problem. Naturally, I expect it from Liz 8) Glad you had such a good time kid. By the way, you're supposed to use Oakland airport. It's newer and easier to navigate. You're right, SF real pain. Charlie |

Title: Re: My thoughts on the convention(long) Post by Elaine on Sep 18th, 2002, 6:59pm OK Linda I was shit faced that last night LOL! I did think you jumped out the window. It was the last night I got a little tippsy. I don't drink much so just a couple can turn me into a drunk. Its the last night we are in Deb and Bills room on the 9th floor. Bill and Debs living room was all glass windows. DJ was sitting on the window seal I was sitting on the floor by him he and I were thumping ashes out the window. I was in my own little world. Bill and Deb were on the sofa by the wall. and Bonnie and warren were shareing a chair. Linda was standing by a window across from me. Like I said I was in my own little world. I was watching Linda and I saw her open the window then step out. I jumped and grabed DJ. About the time I grabed DJ linda steped back in the window and I relized she was on the balonany(sp)! I was laughting so hard no one knew what I was thinking till I told them. I then knew it was time for me to excuse myself and go to my room. No more drinking for me at the conventions! Linda Dear you do have clusters and I am sorry that you have it so hard. I loved sharing a room with you Thank you. I will miss you most of all!!! |

Oh God, you just HAD to bring that up didn't you? LOL! Yes, as someone put it, he must have been "taken" with me.... Well, if I took him, I must have stowed him away in the cargo hold. (Do you know how heavy a dead body in a suitcase is?? LOL) J.K. ;) ;D As for who kissed you while you were sleeping, I have no idea. Sounds like a personal problem :o :o, LOL! ;) Glad you made it back in one piece, and that you had a good time! ;DMel |

Title: Re: My thoughts on the convention(long) Post by Mastifflvr28 on Sep 19th, 2002, 1:09am Linda, you are such a neat person. EVERYONE there was a neat person. I don't get out much, but I'd have to say that the convention was the best experience I've ever had. Not just black squiggles. We all KNEW each other, it was wonderful. Now I can hear your guy's black squiggles in your own voices. Killer. Linda, I'm so glad you got your computer fixed so quick, you looked so depressed about the trashed modem, made me sad :( I can't believe you asked Jonny for permission to put up that "bj" comment. I wouldn't have, snicker. Keeper of the ugly mutts, Mast |
