Does anyone still have a Gala ticket available? We only need 1. Please PM me if so.....

Eeeeeeeeehhhhhh!! I just found my University friend, that was my bridesmaid when I got married on Facebook! Lost track of her 35 years ago!!

Kewl. :doh: Do ya know that when I took photography in University, there was no such thing as digital cameras. Just sayin'. I feel old. Hey, look who's telling me!!

Well, aren't I the "bring-it-over fool" today? Jason Castro's new single to listen to: Let's Just Fall in Love Again Not especially a fan, but I like it! Cute and bouncy.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..............from CH (notacanuck)

Oh, I'm always looking .......I love cameras, what can I say! But that is SO not in my budget right now! I think ldyj said she was looking for a digital SLR though....the Power Shot is not an SLR. One of my dreams has been to be able to own a digital SLR. Maybe I'll win the lottery that I don't buy tickets for! I don't think this has been posted here..... Clackhouse Aiken Shield pin fundraiser for CU...order now!

Consumer Reports main article in the magazine this month is on digital cameras....it might be on the website as well. I think they normally do a great job of reporting on and advising on stuff like this. Having said that.....Canon EOS Rebel would be my first choice (there are several models). Consumer Reports mag

P.S. Also think it's pretty funny (and completely typical for him) that he was at CANOE for one meal....and at Varsity (which definitely looks like fast food hot dogs..) the next! Who wants to bet he enjoyed Varsity more??

Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh for the new picture and tweets! Sounds like he's having a bit of fun in Atlanta! Makes me laugh that in that Toronto JBT pic, Jaymes is making eyes at the security guard (who looks like he is making eyes back ) How things change!

Thanks for the link!! I like R&B and don't mind that, but it's pretty generic "lost in the list" type stuff. BUT....I haven't seen Trenyce for a long, long time and spent the whole time with my eyes falling out! She has grown up good! She looks awesome with the new (to me) short hair and classy clothes. I thought she did herself in somewhat on Idol cuz she just couldn't seem to get her look right. But she looks great in that video! I LOVE that Clay is able to do this now....but I a little, because it now feels as though any random dinner out with a friend or whoever might become a man-date. ETA: the boy sure does get around though! (ie, travels a lot in case that might be misinterpreted...)

OMG, #2 in a heartbeat! One of my favorite favoritest FAVORITE pictures ever!! Now, could someone tell me why I normally HATE beards on other people?

ClayizzaQT! I think we'll be OK....if everyone comes, there will not be seating in the private area for everyone...but I don't really think it will be that big a deal, as the main restaurant will be available also, and we can certainly wander back and forth. I'll add you to the list, it'll be good to see you all!

I'm probably going to have to step away from the fandom..... Chocolate cake and pickles??????!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! Sounded like he was in a good, story-telling mood last night I love when he's in the mood!

Yes, just got home around 10:30 PM and trying to do a quick catch up as when I tried to access anything Clay from the hotel internet, it was marked as "unsuitable" and immediately closed down .....so I'm so far behind! Thank you SO much everyone for the birthday wishes! I had the most awesome birthday EVER! Spent it in Boston's Little Italy, partying with mmmm.....about 150, 000 of my closest friends. But the BEST part......Facebook helped me raise $250 for the Inclusion Project from the best folks anywhere in the world....many of whom live right here. You have NO idea how much that meant to me. Thanks everyone!! ...and now off to bed, as I have an interview tomorrow morning early....wouldntcha know?? Maybe they like red-eyed groggy people.

....sorry, unable to access FCA while away on vacation.....I have all the changes to here.

Awww, thanks Fear!.....no, it's Saturday....but I'll take the early greetings!! The Inclusion Project birthday thing on FB starts early

list updated to here. Thanks everyone, for the updates! Kimiye, hope you make it!

....and on that note, jmh123..... Just a reminder that we are planning a Post-Gala breakfast at Tyr na nOg restaurant, which is about 4 blocks away from the Sheraton and the Marriott, on Sunday Oct 18th at 10 AM. Details are HERE and we would love to see you there! Please post in the linked thread or PM me and I will gladly add you to the list. And now that everyone pretty much knows for sure if they will be attending.....or not.... :thbighug-1: ............. Could I ask you PLEASE to advise me ONLY IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP AND ARE NOW NOT ATTENDING. If we are going to be seeing you there...... no need to update. I can hardly wait!!

Just a quick update.....and a note that I appreciate the accumulated wisdom and support here SO much!! :thbighug-1: I have now received most of my severance dollars....lost 40% of it to income tax! Still waiting for expense reimbursement and a ROE and a disposition letter for my RSP (retirement savings plan, in Canada=pension) but that will come, as will winter.... I'm pleased so far with my success with resumes....I've sent 17 resumes for things I thought were apt, including some part-time stuff to tide me over. I've received 4 calls for interviews, and I'm now in the third-interview process for a part-time position I'm very interested in...and second-interview for a part-time position I'm interested in if #1 doesn't work out .....and got another call today to come in for an interview for a fulltime position at a decent salary. So I'm encouraged! At least I know my resumes are working, and that people do have an appreciation for my skillset. It's a good start. Couchie, jmh123 and others looking....persevere!! I have my fingers and toes and all appendages crossed for you!!

I'll second that! The "great little airport to hang out in" part ....lots of great little shops (LOVE that used bookstore...) and good munchies. I think we can probably hang at the breakfast as long as we want to...so if you need to get away, I'd say count on an hour and a half...it's buffet style, so service shouldn't really be an issue.

Shameless theft is involved here, but nonetheless good wishes!!

Wasn't me, I swear!! Server burp! (but I DID really love the picture....)

Well, the news has started to spread.....LOVE the picture she used!! MJ's Big Idol Blog

Yes, I think a BIG clapping hand goes to Aron and Kristy and anyone else involved with the setup this time....it went AWEsome! It's not easy for a site to take that kind of a concentrated hit and keep on chugging.....and this is the first time. So :clap:

Yep!! Sorry, everyone!!....panic mode! jmh and lilyshine, I KNOW you'll have no problem selling those tickets...I will post a note at CV if you're OK with that?
