  1. Unfortunately, because of all the activity around the downtown area the morning of our Post-breakfast, we have had to change the time to 9:30 AM Tirnanog has asked that we do this, and they've been so good to us I hate to say no! This will greatly facilitate the rest of their day, and they're opening early to do this and facilitate our breakfast. Hope this doesn't cause a problem for anyone; if you need me to take you off the representin' list HERE just let me know (in the thread, please, is preferable). For those that didn't yet see it, we are having a post breakfast Saturday morning. Please come join us!
  2. Signup list for the post-MMD Breakfast, Saturday March 13th at 9:30 AM (Please note change to time) ATTENDANCE IS NOW CLOSED....as I am on my way to Raleigh and will have no further internet access. See you all in Raleigh!! Our breakfast will once again take place at Tirnanog Irish Pub, the same restaurant we used for the Gala Breakfast in 2009. Tir na nog is offering a Traditional Irish Breakfast Buffet for $11.95 per person. Breakfast starts at 9:30 AM Restaurant location, maps and food information can be accessed from the link above; you will pay at the restaurant that morning. Important Information for this date: Raleigh's annual St. Paddy's Day parade is this day. This will mean most vehicular access to the downtown area will be closed off by 9 AM that morning. Parking in the area of the restaurant will be extremely limited or non-existent. The best solution is to walk over from the Sheraton or the Marriott (approximately a 5-block walk). Sure hope you can join us! We really enjoyed this restaurant and its staff following the Gala. If you need further information, please post in the thread or PM me.

  3. Okey-dokie!! I talked to the GM at Tirnanog Irish Pub, who is just a fountain of information. We have arranged for a morning-after breakfast Saturday March 13 at 10:30 AM. Although they don't usually do the buffet on Saturdays, they will do one for us that morning. Cost is $11.95 per person, and you will be billed that morning at your table. Here is the (minor, I think) glitch: March 13th is the annual St. Paddy's Day parade in downtown Raleigh. Streets (esp Fayetteville) will be blocked off from around 9 AM that morning until around 1 PM when the parade finishes just outside Tirnanog's door! So....access for anyone with a disability will be greatly limited Annie suggested, for those staying at the Sheraton and the Marriott, that there are shuttles which they run that could bring you over (ask at the Sheraton desk) so that may be an option. Otherwise, we will need to be downtown early with our vehicles to be sure to access the restaurant; there will be extremely limited to no parking in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant. Thread for the "attending" list is HERE Looking forward to seeing everyone!!
  4. Well, I tried for tickets today in the regular sale.....nada! Went through about 10-12 "no tickets available" before receiving an offer...and then the only tickets I was offered were in the backs of the balconies and mezzanines. Thank goodness we have tickets already....we are "in da house"! Looks like it may be near sellout...which is awesome! You can get the odd ticket to show up in out of the way corners as singles, but doing 2 tickets gets you laughter, basically. I'm LOVING the new board....as it knows me again!! BTW that new TM screen sucks rocks. The page is too long to appear on one screen, so on my monitor you have to scroll down to hit the "search"...and about 3 times out of ten it changes the search parameters from "best available" when you scroll...so you're searching for something you don't want. Another improvement to benefit the ticket brokers, I assume.
  5. I'm off tomorrow, so I'll give Tir na nog a call and see what I can find out. Wow, this woke me up this morning! This will give us a chance to get the emoticons sorted out too, won't it?
  6. LUCKIEST1 Remember all the thinking when those came out, that he was embarrassed about them and someone must have "forced him into it"?? He obviously is STILL tickled pink at the thought of them!! Is anyone interested in a Saturday brunch get-together in Raleigh? If so, I'll contact Tir na nog and see if they can do it......??
  7. Yes to every word!! That second picture in the group? The girl at his back, in the dark hair? That's the look that's on my face when he's around too..... Cracked me right up. Adore the "new" hair and colour and the man himself and can hardly wait to see it in Florida. Someone on another board mentioned that he resembles Robert Redford in some of these pictures....I agree! He done growed up good in many, many respects.
  8. Oh nooooooo!!! :-( You already know I agree with the bolded....but I fear that those who are waiting to have "a ticket" in hand will be very disappointed. Call me a crazy Clayfan....but I'm :04: And not one bit worried I don't have a ticket.
  9. Which makes me laugh, really, because then we're donating.....and donating again when our "government" matches it, right? (not that it isn't OK by me....it is...I just think it's funny)
  10. Definite yes....and make that a definite yes for luckiest1 and crimsonice too, willya? And maybe goldarngirl won't mind my speaking on her behalf as well? 4 of us
  11. Yes, it's Tyr na nog! I can post the link when I get home from work muuuuuuuuuch later!
  12. Posting and running to work without being caught up, sorry!! Sheraton 50% off Link to a very good rate for the Sheraton hotel in downtown Raleigh, which is very nice (we've stayed there for two years running for the Gala). Buy one night get the second (or third, I think) 50% off.
  13. The shots....yes, called Lucent technology; I'm going to be asking about that when I go next time. Likely not applicable to my situation, but I'm asking. Regarding the strides in vision care~yes, that's my hope too. I suspect what's happened is that Clay has asked Sparkfart to post something to the website....and we all know how asking them to do something goes! *rolleyeballs* I don't think he knows any better than any of us how long it's going to take...within a certain timeframe. Hmmm....one of my big stressors has been the thought of losing my license, and therefore my independence. You mean you DIDN'T????? Exactly. And I can't imagine how much MORE of a chance encounter it could have been....it's not like she followed them there!
  14. So, so, SO far behind, so I apologize for the non-timeliness of these quotes: Glad to hear after this that the good vibes worked....I was thinking when I read it that you and I were going to have to tie ourselves together for the rest of our lives; I have a not-too-bad yet left eye! Both of my eyes, though, are going; my news was NOT as good as yours. I will lose sight in both in the (?) future. Take my word....DO NOT wait until your next appointment! Mine might have been saved if caught earlier. OMG that was my laugh of the WEEK!!! :cryingwlaughter: ...and me for the transistor radio I didn't get! Me tooooooooo!! Has anyone up this way managed to find it?? (this is regarding PBS by the way) My afterthought: Damn, it would look even better wet!! OAN: International Media (the producer of the PBS special) has just posted their youtube site on FB. As it's a given Clay will be on there when his special happens.....Intl Media Youtube LOVING!!! all the action over the last few days....hope something happens today before I have to leave for work at 4 PM!
  15. Gorgeous banner and calendar page, cindilu!
  16. Caro, I think you already have this information, but just in case it might help someone else.... To "hide" Farmville and other apps on Facebook....hover over the right side of one of the incoming messages; you will see "Hide" appear in the right hand column. Click on "Hide" and you will see choices to hide (the person) or (the application, e.g. Farmville). Click on the application name, and it will hide all posts from that application. If you "oops" it and hide someone you don't want to, you can undo it in the Edit Options at the bottom right of your wall page.
  17. I GOT MY FLASHDRIVE FROM THE PROJECT!!! :04: I'm so thrilled! I didn't think anyone but the WFI leaders were getting them, from reports on CV ( Fear) It's on a very, very nice drive with the Project logo on it. The Post Office did their darndest....there literally is a tire track across the envelope...but it IS in one piece. ((Couchie))....about a year ago. Amount varies airline by airline.
  18. I though perhaps a little decoration was in order....
  19. Anything that doesn't involve a microwave oven?? Lotus, any of the Pavlovas I've ever had (and they were delicious) were the type you describe. HAPPY UPCOMING NEW DECADE TO EVERYONE!
  20. Lotus Pavlova!!....yummmmm! Haven't had Pavlova in years. My cousin used to make an awesome one. She lived in Aus for many years, in Sidney...she sure didn't pick it up from our French moms! Off to work shortly....gotta love that Boxing Day!
  21. MERRY CHRISTMAS FCA! I wish you all the special joys of family, friends, good health, and love to surround you.
  22. So shocked and sorry to hear about sassafras! She looked great at the Gala! ...and sorry to hear your company is "keeping you in suspense"; I had to laugh the other day...I was looking at some credit card options (I'm getting rid of one of mine and looking at changing providers), and one of the options was provided by your company. Small world!
