Hello Penny, this is Mike.SMLCHNG wrote:For what it's worth.. I sure hope Jimmy DOES show up for this show next year. I'd be sad for you all to have it not happen with all the planning.
This board has always 'allowed' threads in the 'Who's Going To" forum for show dates that have been announced.
MOTM is announced EVERY year so far, without waiting for Jimmy's tour dates to be announced.
You didn't HAVE to run to FB, there's always the Social area here. That would have worked just fine.![]()
Have at it.
I'm the guy who startet the FB group. There was no intention to drag people away from BN, really!
I actually startet the group for the bunch of us who are planning on going to Cape Cod after the GW show. It just ran a bit out of hand with people inviting their friends and stuff...
So my sincere apologies if you thought I'd want to drag people away from this fantastic Board!
And a BIG Thank You for keeping BuffetNews.com up and alive! It changed my life, since without it I'd never have met all my new friends!
Kind Regards, Mike Schmid

I went in the water, but then the water tried to take me. I wish you had been in my head as I was trying to wipe my eyes and cough the water in my lungs when I realized Dave was yelling and warning me there was another one coming. Next year, I'm taking floaties or hiring our bartender from the Comber to be my lifeguard.ScarletB wrote:Well, if you'd gone right home but NOOOO you had to go to Pittsburgh!!LIPH wrote:I'm starting to have second thoughts, I don't know if my body can take it.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I worked as a pool attendant at our local public pool a summer long, and even though I have no life guard certificate I was taught how to save someone out of the water.
