Marci - the first thing I thought of was Seinfeld when I read your name LOL. There may be hope for the devil child. Enjoy your weekend with DH. Donna - I like your pirate name too! Dee - I hope our guys win. Suzanne - Can't wait to hear all about your trip with SP. Lynn & Dee - I did watch some of BB8, but wasn't addicted. I understand all the uproar about Dick, but I don't get why people hated Daniele - I didn't think she was bad and she played a great game with so many wins. She was a bit whiny but I also kept in mind that she was the youngest one there. I also kept in mind that this poor girl had to grow up with him as a father - that couldn't have been an easy life for her. On the other hand I didn't like Jen or Amber at all or at least of what I saw of them. Jen was very vindictive and Amber didn't have a mind of her own and I wouldn't have been able to tolerate all the crying. Jessica also didn't have much of a mind of her own - she let Eric persuade her too easily and she hated her friend because of $5. Come to think of it I didn't really like any of the players LOL. QOD - this is a wedding event weekend for me. Friday 6:30 am workout with my trainer, work until 2PM, and then at 4PM is a boat cruise with cocktails. Saturday I work, go to the church at noon, back to work and then the reception at 4 with an after party at 10PM and Sunday a brumch. I don't think I will be doing much else.

Ruth, As I said, I will survive if I do not receive a gift basket or anything else for that matter...LOL! Very kind of you to offer me anything off your list.....but you need not do that. Nikki (cinnie..), our September host, wanted to send me something and I told her no..... it really does not take care of the problem. I do feel when someone signs up for a swap, RR closed or not, they should honor their commitment. I also know and understand that things come up, unfortunate circumstances arise and the swap can not be carried out/they need to drop out. In that case, I am 100% cool with someone backing out....but they better communicate that to their partner and the group. This matter of people sending their swap several weeks late....or not at all.....no communication, one way or the other.....disappearing.....and then, as in your case, not receiving what you were supposed to receive is BS. Total BS!! Ruth, I am curious, did you receive any explanation from Wild Hair Mavens as to why you were shorted 3 of the items you were supposed to receive???? I do hope Sue is well and that all is good with her...... Happy Evening! Annie ...... I

A lot of quotes are mostly "I" and "why". For me the quotes of the day comes from Emily Post: "Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use". Seems to me that now too many look for the fork.
