just being there when you are needed...and when you aren't....a kind word whispered in their ear telling them how wonderful they are to you...and smiling at them just to see them smile...
I am having a blast putting this together...I would be willing to make it an annual event if everyone wanted to....there are bunches of different places we can go....and do...we will just have to see how it all goes...I don't think there will be any problems...I think we will be having too much fun sneaking from room to room according to Marty's thread...
OMG....I am loving this...there are already 33 of us signed up and we still have 4 months to go.....
This is gonna be one HUGE party.....
I am so excited about getting to meet all of you...I can't wait....
I am feeling like a little child waiting for Santa to visit..... Only that christmas will be in April....
Thanks to every one that has been so supportive and helpful with the planning....I am still waitting to hear from some of the businesses..I will keep you all informed...
For each and every one of you....
NOW...to address something that BEB mentioned earlier....
WHERE ARE ALL THE GUYS???????? come on fellas....we don't bite...not hard anyway...
come on out and play with us....we won't hurt you ....honest we won't...
Ok all...lets play here so that we will leave room for sign up for the event....
WOOHOOO...we already have 32
WHEN: APRIL 4TH-6TH, 2008
WHERE: GREATER ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI AREA (Lambert Airport in St. Louis is the airport that you should fly into)
WHAT: Ok everyone, lets get ready to have a great time here in the USA. Food, drink, singing (if you’re brave enough...LOL) fun and lots of friends just hanging out.
I have found the best deal for accommodations after talking to every hotel and motel in the area.
DAYS INN HOTEL: 12 Commerce Dr., Collinsville, Illinois. 62234, 618-345-2000 $55+tax per night, indoor swimming pool(4ft deep max, continental breakfast(muffins, waffels, cereal, juice, coffee) You can make your reservations anytime and if for some reason you must cancel for any reason, you will be able to do so up to one week before the event without any charges.
I have reserved 20 rooms under the group name "CONNECTING SINGLES"
FRIDAY NIGHT: we will all meet at SHARKY's bar/pool hall at 7pm. That way members who are traveling can have time to arrive and refresh themselves. Sharky's has a live band with a cover charge of about $5 per person. The pool hall side has no cover charge. I have not received the answer from the owner yet about a discount on the cover charge. I will let you all know as soon as I find out.
SATURDAY NIGHT: dinner at PORTERS STEAKHOUSE Dinner at 7pm then drinks and karaoke at JJ's Corner with the best system and DJ (and close personal friend of mine...LOL)Tommy Tunesmith, in the area.
SUNDAY: many of us will need to tend to our pounding heads... At noon on Sunday, I will start the grill at my house. Anyone who doesn't have to travel too early and wants to join in is welcome to bring a meat to grill and any beverages they would like to drink. I will provide side dishes... potatoe salad, baked beans, salad, and mac and cheese. I would appreciate some advanced notice on how many might plan on attending so I can make sure there is enough for everyone.
This will be mostly an outside event...as my house is too small to accommodate everyone...
If there are any other suggestions, please reply to this thread or email me personally...
I am looking forward to meeting you all and prepared to have a blast!!!!!!
I have to agree with you Riya...if you aren't ready to jump both feet into a relationship with some on here...then you are a fake, lier and whatever else they call you....
I have been in enough bad relationships...don't need anymore...I am going to be very careful and make the next one earn my heart...
YEAH...I was almost one of them...people are so stupid around here...they forget how to drive on snow and ice....I guess I am just so used to controling 18 wheels, that 4 is a breeze.... just wish everybody else was the same way....
RE: IS THERE ANYBODY ON CS?
YEP, YEP, YEP...we need to know too....
