Christy will be here tentatively for the Aug 15-17 weekend. We'd like to do up a soiree for her here, likely Sat nite and also some tank tours that day or Sunday. I'll also need someone to take her to Wai's... :lol: :lol:

All welcome, and more details to follow.

Is everything OK Bob ? ... are you feeling like people dont like you or something ? ... just so you know in normals circles your post might indicate that you really dont like to interact with others or just looking for attention ( negative or positive ) ????? ... very disturbing verbage :sad:

Well, are we reallythat normal :question: :question: . I just wanted folks to know that in the summer I am away every weekend. :eek: :eek:

As to verbiage, I would not be too concerned about an innocent post. I have always found it to be best not to read to much into a post from someone I have not even met.

Hey......... I may be staying till August 23rd so why don't we combine it so that you don't have to go on another tank/store tour :D

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
Victor

Aw, our wheelchairs..... :cool: :biggrin:

Also, forgot to mention, of course spouses are welcome if they are remotely interested in hanging out with fish geeks....

So anyone else who plans to attend or just drop by, or whatever, kindly let me know so we have some idea.

I may need you to bring lawn chairs.

kari
07-22-2003, 03:28 AM
Sounds like fun. I am about 70.3% sure that I can make it. Work seems to mess up any plans I make more than 7 days ahead.

Quinn
07-22-2003, 03:35 AM
Kari, are you sure you've done the math properly? What about the 0.043%/day possibility your tank could explode on you? And don't forget the 0.0000017% chance the Iraqi military will invade NE Calgary? I think you should check your numbers... :neutral:

christyf5
07-22-2003, 06:36 AM
70.3% is good enough for me! See you there Kari! :biggrin: :razz:

TANGOMAN
07-22-2003, 08:53 PM
I might come. But then again, I might not...of course if beverages were supplied then that could change everything :drinking: .
Us folk's in the south could "pool" a ride, drink your liqour cabinet dry, and puke in your neighbours flowerbeds. Then ya' can throw us all in a cab, or the back of a police van, and apologize to Christy for the behavior of the guys from the south side of the city...
My weekends are usually as open as my weedays, as I have no real life. Not even in the summer... :cry:

Canadian Man
07-22-2003, 09:12 PM
You should get away more on the weekends Doug!

christyf5
07-22-2003, 09:17 PM
Haha, no apologies necessary. I'd probly be in the paddywagon with ya, wiping my mouth on my sleeve :razz:

I'm not so good with calculus so I guessed a number just like in the school days. As for the attack, I'm more worried about the teenagers with the machetes then those silly Iraqi military guys :confused:
The odds are going up from somewhere since another day has passed.

Quinn
07-23-2003, 12:42 AM
There was an article in the National Post the other day about teenagers and house parties. Us young people can be pretty destructive.

Yikes......... I just founnd out that I have to attend a BBQ on the evening of the 16th but I am in for all other activites in the afternoon of that day.

Rolling into Kamloops yesterday...
http://members.shaw.ca/AJ_77/Kamloops_smoking.jpg
The fire was supposed to be 50k away, but the mtn across from town went up just the day before, and was still smouldering. We met couple that had been evacuated from one valley over and didn't know if their home was still there or not...

We found that our hotel room was full with a tour mob so we booked it for home, in the dark and smoke... Fun drive. Then we hit the smoke from the Jasper fire (choke) around Lake Louise - very thick. I was actually glad to see flat land again, and clear skies.

But tonight we seem boxed in by smoke a little... :eek:

Oh, don't watch much TV :lol:

That's wickedly scary Alan. :eek:

We've been watching the fires pretty closely as our daughter lives in the Crowsnest Pass.

Jack: :rolleyes: :razz:

EmilyB
08-10-2003, 03:38 AM
It's good to see we got the thread off topic - I couldn't bare to pull this together without at least five pages.... :razz: :razz: :razz: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok, since we are providing FOOD.....

Alan 2
Steve 2
Jon 3 :mrgreen:
Quinn 2
Kari 1
Doug 2? :razz:
Tina 2


Where are the new guys - you can come too you know...?

I was thinking about a door prize, but everyone wants SPS...

Quinn
08-10-2003, 05:13 AM

actualy the media makes it sound a lot worse than it is. while crosnest pass was hazy with smoke, thats all you could see, the media made it sound like the fire was along the road. heck we did't even see any fire crew or equipment except for 1 helacopter. I am comming home throught kamloops so might see more that way.

Steve

Kari: You mean we have to come all the way out there to see you both? :rolleyes:

Have you accidently snapped a piece off that Turbinaria, by chance? :wink: The Monti caps are doing nicely, after a bit of a rough start - thanks again!
:biggrin:

StirCrazy? Are you in town?? Kamloops was still smokin' last weekend... probably better by now.

kari
08-11-2003, 01:11 AM
Allan;
I'll accidentaly break a piece off as soon as I get around to cutting an access to the front of the tank. Still wondering what to cut it with.

Thanks. Nice tanks, nice place and addictive dip.
Hey, can my dogs mingle with yours so mine can learn some good dog manners? Or can you give me the name of your vet so I can make an appointment for my dog Hannibal just before someone comes for a visit?
Hope your dog is feeling better today, he didn't look too bushy tailed yesterday.
