I appreciate that.
I don’t appreciate that.
No, no, Ag…you misunderstand, Cecil himself says this about nose rings on bulls:
See?
I can drive a stick, but I don’t know what my schedule will be like.
Have we picked a time yet? Or are we going to show up as early as we feel like and hang around and get plastered.
I won’t mind spending the night with MoxMaiden.
Huh?.. Didn’t Mtgman say he’d give up HIS bed if need be?
National Review’s Cool Site of the Day has had me mesmerized for over an hour now. This is one of the coolest things ever.
Hey, I appreciate that. Let me know what your suitable bribe is. I’ll just sit back and let Ag make all the jokes and tell all the stories he wants.
Heh. No worries about getting myself home, this way. Nice! 
** Kilt-wearin’ man** I’d like to second Grace’s invitation to come on anyway. Moxmaiden and I usually go too far overboard fixing food when we have guests over and have leftovers for days. After the Christmas party we had leftovers for a week or so (except for the stuffing, I guess it was a hit). We don’t let people leave hungry and we don’t ask for donations if we’re not asked to provide all the food.
Ziactrice like I said last year in our post-Christmas thread, I admire very little more than a person who understands their own limits and has the self-discipline and courage to acknowledge when they’ve gone too far. You lost no respect in our eyes for accepting our hospitality and I hope you weren’t too hard on yourself.
Ice cream sounds good. Poor Moxmaiden couldn’t partake because our new baby is highly intolerant of the proteins in cow’s milk and if she consumes dairy and then nurses then the baby will have gas and stomach upset for a couple days. I’ll bribe her with Milano cookies and we can have ice cream though 
It’s really something that should be made beforehand though. I felt bad that you missed so much of your own housewarming event because you were making ice cream.
Then I guess we’d have to adopt you, build you all little matching beds in the sunroom and give you comic nicknames. “This one is Dope-y, that one is Not-So-Straighty, the other one is He-Who-Won’t-Take-A-Hinty…” Then we could form a family singing troupe, the Von Trapped family perhaps, and tour the world until someone’s voice changed. Then we’d be relegated to the footnotes of history and probably end up knocking over 7-Eleven stores to support our drug habits.
Wheeee!
Six o’clock is the planned time. Earlier is ok if you let me know beforehand, and there isn’t really a curfew. I’ve yet to fall asleep on guests. If one of you would do a mass-mailing of directions I’d appreciate it.

I did indeed, and I mean it. In the interest of full disclosure I must add the following information to my above offer. If I give up my portion of the bed, and Moxmaiden chooses not to relinquish her portion, here is some information she would probably not volunteer.
[ol][li] She snores[/li][li] She is a horrible blanket-hog[/li][li] She likes to let her “feet breathe” while she sleeps. This means she leaves the sheets untucked at the bottom and keeps a box fan going on full blast right at the foot of the bed. This has the effect of freezing her bed partner because she has stolen all the blankets. Her bed partner will then have a continual runny nose and be a step away from pneumonia at all times. [/li][/ol]

Wheeee! The board is back up!
Kilt-wearin’ man - consider yourself a designated eater and come join us! We’re always happy to meet new people.
For everyone - if you haven’t registered already, please go to the DFW Adam’s Family message board and bookmark the page! This not only is a place for us to get together, but it’s the only way we can communicate if the board goes down. If you don’t bookmark it, remember that we are one of the arborwood.com forums, and the only one with DFW in the name.
BTW, Manda JO? We aren’t this bad IRL.
actually we’re worse.
Oh My God! I can’t believe he did that! Why you little…(mumbles for a while).
Just to clear things up-
[ol][li]It is Mtgman that snores, I talk in my sleep. [*]I do like a lot of blanket, and since we have a full sized bed the sheets aren’t very big. Getting the full sized bed was Mtgman’s idea. [/li][li]My feet get hot and so I like to have them not covered up. I would prefer the fan blowing on my face because the bedroom is stuffy, but because Mtgman gets all allergic from the fan, I leave it turned away from the bed so that it at least circulates the air.[/ol][/li]
Just for that I might not give up my place in the bed to join him on the couch.
One other note though, the baby does sleep in the bed with me, so there will be two women in the bed at all times.
I really would come, but the timing’s bad - and not just because of money (I must’ve missed the part where a location was decided on - I thought it was happening at a restaraunt somewhere) but lots of other stuff, too. I definitely appreciate all the invites, but I really do have to skip this one - raincheck time, I guess.
Actually you talk AND snore. Quite a interesting juxtaposition from a physics standpoint. I’m not quite sure how you do it.

And what is it about a full size bed that’s too small? A Full-Size bed is often called a “double” bed. Are you saying you need more covers for just you than two people need? **

Well, except for when you left it blasting, right at the side of the bed I sleep on, last night, and a couple nights ago, and a few times last week… **

{blushes}
Ok, Ok, Ok. I give up. I talk and snore. I guess anyone who needs to sleep over that wants the bed will just have to take it and like it. :eek:
Can we have a head count so that I can bake a big enough cake?
Me and the mr will probably only come for drinks/snacks. Most unfortunatly, I have a big project going out on Monday, but I do want to drop by and say howdy.
someone please email me directions. email at work is down, so I am not sure if my request was sent out.
wendy@dyba.org
also, since everyone is looking, please start thinking about the christmas party, which, if everyone is fine with, will be at chez baboon in fort worth. second saturday in december?
Sorry to be chiming in at the last minute.
Mrs. Chef is going to be working, but Chef Jr. and I will make every effort to be there.
What would you folks like me to bring?
Here’s the count from this thread of people that expressed an interest. I’ll call them all probable and we can work from there.
Mr. & Ms. Babs
Mr. & Ms. Jo
MM & MM
Mr. & Ms. Grace, I mean Ag and Grace

Bump posted but didn’t say one way or the other
Chef & little Chef are going to try
So, we have 22 interested and probably good bets on about 15 of them.
Jim
Just wanted to bump this back near the top, and I wanted to ask when did Mtgman start saying “Enjoy”. What’s up with dat?
I have about 12 that either know the way or have asked for directions. If anyone else out there is planning on coming, please email me for directions.
No one is speaking up about what to bring. But as a suggestion, this is a grazing group, not a set down and eat bunch. Bring finger food, snacks, chicken wings, fried cheese sticks, chips, dips, things to carry around and eat and drip on the carpet.
Chef Troy said we were like a herd of cats. This is just to give a clue what sort of things to bring for the ones that haven’t been to one of our gatherings at someone’s house before.
Jim
Dead mice?
I’m going to bring deviled eggs and a veggie tray. Anyone else?
Chocolate covered?
Ahh. Moderator cats.
