[DeLarla 22]

Fine, Miss Penni, I see how you are! If you & Michelle leave me behind, there will be a serious price to pay - mark my words.... is that a pallet of Cheetos in your driveway?

About those funny brownies -- yes, if you dip them in enough milk, they'll work fine for the mushy stage, but what'll you do when you crave a pallet of Cheetos afterward? Have to substitute guacamole, I guess.

Sounds like Bandstock is a GO! I'll be there, schedule permitting. I hope some other Chicagoans can attend, too -- not that we're planning to recreate the Grant Park 1968 scene. Young whippersnappers, ask a geezer.

YAY!!! Can't wait!!! Do I assume that it will include music???? since it's named after the infamous "Woodstock"??? Or just a bunch of us lapband roadies...??? FUN!!!

When is Chicago date set for??? And WHERE in Michigan would this be? Can I help???? Maybe plan a LapBand Olympics??? The wheels are turning!!! Cool!!! The funny brownies sound great.....bring back great memories.....yummmmmmm. I knew I saved my headbands and bellbottoms for something!!! Maybe I will fit back into them by then! Keep me posted!!! so to speak!

Well, my curiosity is up. Sounds like it will be fun and I haven't even got banded yet.

[Penni60 45]

OH Lisa of course you can come with us. I just didn't hear you chime in saying you were going. But heck yeah we all can go together. What fun????

[lapbander081004 7]

June 25th is fine with me and Kelly it is 4 days before my 55th birthday.

Lyle I'll be calling you next day or two and get my feet wet. Looking forward to helping to make Woodstock a forgotten thing...lol

[NancySmiles 2]

Hey!!! June 25th sounds great!!! already marked my 2005 calendar!!! It's a DATE!!!

The FIRST ANNUAL BANDSTOCK - !!! the possibilities are endless!!! Can either make it an annual "Michigan" event or have it in a different state each year!....

We can have music for this Bandstock??? LOL (or make our own )

Maybe some local bands can join in....get some of the local radio stations involved....start the first annual lapband convention!!! TV and RADIO people LOVE that kinda stuff!!! Lila Lazarus....here we come!!!

Anyway...the wheels are turning!!!

I'm not as experienced in these bashes like the Vegas and Chicago Bash people, and like Greg and Lyle and WhippleDaddy....but I've helped plan NUMEROUS successful events, huge and small!!! So anything I can do...please let me know!!!

Maybe by then we'll all wanna run naked through Bandstock.....and get drenched by hoses.......hmmm that might be a really great crowd-pleaser!!!

[Guest Suzette]

Hey, all of you are SO cool. This is my first time on this site.....I loved reading all the dialog (posts?). How do I join in???? HELP!!!!!!

[lapbander081004 7]

You posted here Suzette...Your already involved ...lol

Stick with us and we keep you in stiches.

I have started knitting now, instead of crocheting. I am halfway through a hat. I learned when I was young, but never made more than a square. I am excited to be doing something new. I plan to make a sweater, but needed to start small. :nervous I bought a book called "Stitch & Bitch" to help me remember, and I call Mom when I get in a bind -- about twice a day. :laugh (I know...this is really just an excuse to buy MORE YARN!)

Darcy, are you planning another quilt? What are your hands up to??

There are so many "projects" I need to start or complete. I really have lots to keep me busy if I just get going on it. Last night I was trying to knit and eat Fritos at the same time -- the Fritos won, but it's time to reverse that trend. I need to keep my mind off food for a while, especially while I detox from the holidays.

[DeLarla 22]

Becky, I'm looking into guitar lessons for the same reason. I need a holiday detox, fast.

[Rebeccalee 2]

That's a great one, Lisa! Do you have a guitar already? Some lessons are a good way to start, gives good accountability. DH is looking at guitars and lessons for his grandson's birthday.

I am going to take some one-day knitting lessons to get started on the right foot.
