We also made it home safely, and the puppy has been walked. Thank you, Ginger and Dave, for hosting us again. We always have a great time at Dope The Halls!
Same. Thank you very much for hosting, I had a great time. And thanks again **norinew **for the ride. It was great meeting all of you!
Hey Paul, that’s Scuba Ben, not Scuba Dave. Who’s Jeffrey from Saudi? And why the hell is this teenager still here?
We considered bidding on the option to take him off your hands, but I saw his room when I went to the bathroom and realized that the life of indentured servitude doing our housework we had planned for him was not going to work out.
We made it home safely right around midnight, and everyone is tucked in (well, except for me, but I will be, soon). My thanks to the host and hostess, not only for the hospitality, but for not tapping me to be the one to send the teenager home with! 
Uh, Gingy, when you get a chance, could you check the floor of the closet the coats were in for a random cell phone? Mine seems to be missing and last time I saw it, it was in the pocket of my coat! If you find it there, I’ll have hubby duck around some time this week coming that’s good for you, and pick it up. I can live a week without it!
It was great seeing everyone again, and good to meet some new folks! A good time was had by all.
Thanks for a ton of fun!
Who won the Trivial Pursuit game?
I did! 
Thanks to our hosts for another great Dope The Halls.
Good food and great conversation, as always.
Also, thanks to Gingy for the blue scarf. It will keep me warm at work!
Trivial Pursuit happened? Ah well, too bad I missed it.
I had a great time at both Dope the Halls and the holiday dance. Thanks very much Ginger and WeirdDave.
I was talking to one of your “Civilian” friends, he is an old Saudi hand and I would like to write to him.
Jeff? Jiff?
If there was a Jeff here, I don’t know who he was. Was he and older guy, white hair and beard? That could have been June’s fiance, I can’t ever remember his name.
I pulled everything out, your phone is not in there. Sorry.
That was clean.
OK. Fortunately, it was only a Net10 Nokia cheap-o model, so I guess I’ve lost it someplace else and will get a new one! Thanks for looking.
Yes, that is him. Older fellow, used to work at AARAMCO Security. We were talking about Old Times.
Well, remember Saturday, when I couldn’t find the mini-fridge in the basement, and your hubby had to come help me look? I said then I was retarded, and he agreed with me. And he was right on the money. I woke up about 3AM today, needing to go to the bathroom, but also remembering that I had put my cell phone in the console of my car, before my hubby and I switched cars! Went out to my car this morning, looked in the console, and there was my cell phone. :smack:
