Anette....forgot the burgers....bring the guys!!!

If anyone has friends from this MB that are on FB, please let them know to come over and sign up for the trip. I'd hate to think anyone would miss out on all this fun!

Sounds like one heck of a plan to me, Randy!

Kasey, I'm not sure what you call this drink but I know you can make it! It's just like a healthy fruit smoothie but it has a generous portion of rum added. I had one last week and it was wonderful. Cheers!!!

Departure Party is going on at the Pub right now. Katie opened and Kasey just showed up. Lots of special things going on! Check into the party under the PUB IS OPEN thread!!!! See ya there!!!

Kasey, Katie had agreed to fill in until you could get her....so get on with the welcome!!! Besides, Katie has and a very tough morning of exercising and I don't know how much more shaker action her arms could handle!!!

Wow...Sean will make the 4th golden in the bunch! Muriel has a golden, Tanner is a golden and we all have seen the beautiful pictures of Ned's golden! What fun these canines are going to have. Becky....how are we going to operate the blender on the bus? Power supply?

Katie has opened the Pub this afternoon and we're having a pre-departure party before the Big Blue Bus takes off!!! Come Join US!!!!

Oops, now I feel bad, Muriel. I forgot my Tanner Dog!!! He and Bailey would have such fun, romping and playing on the beach! Can I cheat and bring 4 things, since the blender is going to be used by all?

Oops, now I feel bad, Muriel. I forgot my Tanner Dog!!!

Sure, Bud! I'm sure Becky's Big Blue Bus has plenty of room for your bike. Now, you still can take two more things.

Great idea, Becky Snowflake!!! I like it!!! I'm trying to reach Kasey to open up the Pub. That place has been locked up tighter than a drum for too long!!! If I can't reach Kasey, maybe Katie will open up for us, since she didn't go to the gym today????

Oh heck, Muriel....let's steal them. You know how thrilling one of these Big Blue Bus trips can be. Time for us all to live life and take big chances. Besides, we'll take rally good care of them and it will essentially just be "borrowing" them for a while!!! We can return them on the way back! Besides, I don't think we need any money to make this trip...

So very happy to read this wonderful news, Kasey!!! Let's celebrate!!!!

I think I sent a message to Ned. But, if he doesn't have enough room for all of us, the sandy beaches will have to do!

Leaving???? All depends on Becky Snowflake!!!

Michelle...I keep forgetting that you aren't aware of all of the magical, mystical powers that the Big Blue Bus possesses!!! It can fly...especially with Becky Snowflake at the wheel!!! We will sail over all of that water with the greatest of ease! Please....don't take a plane to Hawaii !!! You'll miss out on all of the great fun that we have on these road trips!!!! You can only bring three things with you....so start packing and let us know where to pick up up????

Hey, here in Melbourne at Meg O'Malley's, they have bean soup for 18 cents a bowl. Talk about fuel efficiency.....lol

Maybe Muriel, Judy and I can get together in one place and save you a couple of stops. I know it's usually nice to spend a couple of days with Judy in Key West but she says it's to darned cold there to have much fun.

If we play our cards right, Ginny...we will all be in Hawaii with Ned next week!!!!

Becky Snowflake has agreed to plow her big blue bus out of the snow and take us all to Hawaii to visit our friend, Ned! Becky Snowflake will be driving, so we need to let her know where she can pick us all up so she can start planning her trip. OK....I'm in central Florida, on the East Coast. I can be standing on the I-95 ramp with my blender in hand!!! Who's next?

OK...I'll bring the blender, my camera and a beach towel !!! Yeah....this trip is happening!!!!

No way to really live and care without experiencing the pain. Judy, I had to copy the above statement, as it was really one that grabbed me. I'm so sorry that you've had so much sorrow on your plate lately and I'm so glad you felt you could share it with us! I'm a firm believer in talking things out. There's just nothing like having a good friend to listen....with their heart. You have so many friends here to listen and although that doesn't make all the pain go away, please feel better because so many care!

OK...this one will be fun!!! We're all going to hop on Becky Snowflake's Big Blue Bus and drive to warm, sunny Hawaii to visit Ned. Remember, Becky's Big Blue Bus is magical and we can "fly" over water and take the bus straight to Hawaii. The only stops we will have to make will be to pick up LCSC members along the way! Now...the question. Since so many of us will be squeezing on the bus, we're only allowed to bring 3 things with us. What will you be bringing with you?

You be careful on that ice, Bud! We don't need any bad news on the Air! Judy, I watched the Weather Channel for a while last night and they did a lot of in depth coverage about the temperatures in KW. OF course, I was thinking about you. They showed a lot of the local bars and restaurants that offer mainly outside seating and they all looked like they were in the middle of a ghost town! They also talked about how windy it has been in KW and how this is making it feel colder than a lot of other places in the state. When they started talking about "Ocean effect snow" I really took notice!!! It seems that Tampa is where that is likely to happen. Like I've been saying...if we have to get the cold, then throw in some snow to make it memorable! The people where I live have a hard time driving when it rains, so I can only imagine what an inch or two of snow would do...lol! Day 8 of my cold and I'm steel feeling lousy! Hopefully I'll get better while I can still remember what it feels like to feel good! Becky Snowflake....I have my suitcase packed and waiting for the big blue bus to pick me up. Who else is ready to run away to Hawaii and visit Ned?
