PREVIOUSLY IN THE APRIL 4 BOOMER ROOM PARTY

April 4, 2008

BOOMER ACHIEVEMENTS:
Dutch6104 has great pictures of his Russian trip - check out his profile. He went there with some friends of his a few years back.

HEALTH
Skieluv (Steve) is down to 135 pounds, but he’s eating again, which is good news. The radiation treatments had made him so sick that he lost his appetite for awhile. He reported he had just had 20 Oreos. He’s feeling better, but will have to go back to chemo on Monday. You are our hero, Skie - hang in there, okay?

THIS & THAT
Theobears (Ellyn) managed to tear herself away from Packrat, a game on Facebook in which she terrorizes the rest of us trying to play against her. She kicks mucho butt at this game!

Dutch6104: <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOUR BOOMER PRESIDENT HAS JUST LEFT THE ROOM lol LOL
LPoindext: we haven't decided who to vote for - Dutch or Stella!
CirceUK: excuse me Linda... but you obviusly haven't heard of the recent
coup... I am actually president.

When Stella entered the room, she didn't comment on the above, but she ordered DoggyNites (Steve) to rip off his britches and dance around a pole for her. (She said she needed a laugh.) Joan questioned that Doggy was doing pole dances now - she thought dogs did something entirely different to poles.

FrogieArno (Joan) reminded Stella of the time she (Stella) and Circe (Jacs) wrestled on the lawn in fron of the yankee candle factory over some pastry! Joan said she even has pictures of the event!

NEW REVISED LOFT
Someone asked if anyone still did any lofting nowadays. A few of us admitted to this practice, and described how different the loft is now:

LPoindext: It's got an escalator now - easier to get there
CirceUK: LOL
LPoindext: And Rick decorated it with Elvis posters
LPoindext: And I put some Beatles stuff there
Theobears: Rick should add music to the loft, too
LPoindext: There's some love letters from Doggie to Witt that I think they forgot
FrogieArno: Poloriod pics
ElvisP19: Ellyn, I installed a jukebox in the loft
WittDNites: roflmao............too funny LOVE LETTERS??????????? hahaha
Theobears: oh goody, rick, it's gonna be so much nicer there now

VEGAS
April 11 is when most boomers will begin arriving in Vegas, so Steve reminded the unlucky ones not going that they won’t be in the chat room that night. Redhdtexn (Julia) seconded that, and asserted that none of them would stop their revels to come to the Boomer Room.

Sigh…such is life.

Theobears (Ellyn) and mrtheobears(Eric) will be going to cirque du soleil on Monday evening. They didn’t want to go during the reunion, so that left only Sunday and Monday. Marsha and Steve will be leaving Vegas Sunday at 12:45.

I’m planning on trying to do a digital scrapbook of the reunion. I’ve never done one, but it would be something all the boomers could share, and would make it seem like we were all there.
ManoFunn (Fred) will be there Thursday through Sunday. Hopefully, he won’t have to serve jury duty during that time. He reported that the weather has been great so far, in the 70s, not too hot or too cold. Harthorn (Charlotte) said that her daughter told her to be sure to go on the hotel’s water slide. Fred assured her that the temperature of the water should be fine and try not to let a shark get her toe. But Charlotte has scuba dived with sharks, so they don’t scare her. Fred warned her, though, that the hotel starves the sharks for two days, and then release them into the pool. If you survive, you get a free dinner. (Probably roasted shark.) Charlotte laughed and assured Fred that was her kind of challen

Nothing more to say, except have a wonderful time, bring us back some souvenirs, and …


TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT’S ALL FOLKS!
