Lor - I hope you have a great camping trip. It sounds like so much fun.

Fin - Take it slow girl. I hope the weather will be great for you throughout the long weekend.

Vonn - Love the term "noodle-syndrome." That is a great analogy.

Sandy - Have fun tonight at the concert.

Hope you all have a good day and weekend. I am off to get ready to take DD16 to get her license and then out to the rental house for the rest of the weekend. Dining room will be finished by Monday, we hope.:rolleyes:

TGIF everyone! It is another chilly, dreary day here in central Illinois. So far we have had a little rain, but I keep hearing thunder. I am going to have a new (maybe strange?) experience tonight. A friend invited me to her house tonight to play bunco. It is a dice game that does not involve any skill -- just luck. She belongs to a group of women that meet once a month to play bunco, eat, drink a little, and talk. It is my friend's night to host and I guess you play for prizes. Of course being the complete nerd that I am, I goggled bunco to find out how you play and there were lots of web sites. Has anyone ever heard it? I also plan on going to see the new "Indie" movie this weekend -- Crystal Skull.

Sandy, I hope you all have a good time at the concert tonight.

What are the rest of you doing this weekend?

I wanted to ask all of you to keep my nephew Dustin in your prayers. He is 30 now, but has been sick all of his life. He had a kidney transplant about 11 years ago, and he is now in kidney failure and has started dialysis this past week. They are planning another transplant (my niece Megan (his sister) will probably be the donor, but his health is pretty bad compared to the last time. He is also losing his eyesight due to diabetes that has been caused by the last transplant and med's.

Barb, I am keeping your nephew in my prayers.

Sandy ---

Tell Renee to contact me...she has military insurance and HE CANNOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM HER LEGALLY, EVER!!! IT'S FEDERALLY MANDATED.

She is getting bad advice. Seriously.

Cheryl, I just pm'd you. Renee is checking her Pm's but isn't responding right now. She will I am sure when she gathers her energy and barrings back.

Thanks Sandy. She had asked for some information and I just wanted to make sure she got it.

:hug: to Renee.

She told me she got some information from you, I know that. She was grateful for it, so thank you for that. She just has so many pm's that it's hard for her to respond to all of them. She's been asking me to do her updates for her. She's still in shock and awe over what has happened. She loves him and her heart is broken. :(

OMG Renee!! :hug: I was just reading through the posts, trying to get caught up with everyone. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers. If there's anything I can do, let me know.:hug::hug::hug:

barb - I used to love Bunco. I even organized a group.

We each put in $10 and then had fun. A lot of laughter and talking, no one was serious about the actual game.

Most of the time, only a loser or two but most of us came home with the $10 we had put in but two people made a little more.

The break after the first two games was good food.

When we moved into this neighborhood, a Bunco group was started but it was a lot more expensive, very few winners and way too serious. It was shut up and roll the dice.:mad:

I hope you have fun, I think that is the way it is supposed to be.
