PREVIOUSLY IN APRIL 11 CHAT ROOM

VEGAS
It was a thin crowd tonight, since so many boomers were at Vegas for the boomer reunion. Those of us who stayed at home missed them, and we talked about the newsletters we had received from Redhdtexn (Julia). Skieluv (Steve) said he hadn’t read them yet-I told him he should read them right away, they were great! Especially the pictures! SuzeQ, I can’t believe what Julia did to you! FrogieArno (Joan) actually popped in for a few minutes. She was getting ready for the dinner, and stopped in to say hi, and to tell us how great of a time they were having. (Rubbing it in!) CirceUK (Jacs) mentioned that she had talked to Doggie Night (Steve) earlier, and he also rubbed it in about the fab time they were having. (Wonder if he used that word “fab” - if so, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that word used in normal conversation.)
The biggest news coming from Vegas was the news of Blombaone’s (Barry’s) proposal to Wtink (Donna). He actually got down on his knees in front of everyone to pop the question. According to Redhdtexn (Julia), there were not many dry eyes in the room after she accepted. Congratulations and best wishes to the both of you, Barry and Donna.
SuzeQ also got some great news: her first grandchild, Colleen Mara McDonough. arrived April 13th at 10:20 am weighing in at 7 lbs 13 ounces. Congratulations, Suze, being a grandparent is the best!

CONFESSIONS OF A PACKRAT ADDICT
I have an addiction to Packrat now. It’s an Internet game and I suck at it, but can’t stop playing. I’m sure Betty Ford has a 12-step program to stop. In the meantime, I promised Doors Open (Marty) and Hughes (David) that I would invite them to join in. (I get credits for the game for people I invite.) Marnee suggested that 3 or 4 glasses of wine would help me play better. Don’t know if Betty Ford would agree with that, but hey-it’s worth a try!

SPORTS
Skieluv (Steve) and BigHow10 are NOT Yankee fans. I, of course, am still waiting in longsuffering patience for the Cubbies to go all the way. Skieluv thinks that will be a long wait; however, he does love going all the way. Bornsons (Rich) says he roots for both Mets and Yankees, giving him a better hope for a win.

Can’t wait to see everyone next Friday. In the meantime,

TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT’S ALL FOLKS!
