A new date has been suggested for a GA DU get together.

[chelaque liberal]

Just wanted to be sure everyone saw this....


Last month RubyDuby in GA suggested a DU get-together. There seemed to be interest but too many conflicts.

That post has been updated, let's do it this time:

Ok - Saturday, February 23rd
Posted by RubyDuby in GA on Fri Feb-01-08 04:19 PM

This is traditionally when we usually get together - around the end of the month in February.

Time and place are up for grabs.

1. ulysses says this day is good and for us to gather at the Graveyard

I'm for it.

I'm Rubyduby and I approve this message. :)

[chelaque liberal]

2. I didn't want the new date to be lost in the old post

but I didn't want to step on your toes either. Glad you approve. ;-)

Seems like a fair number of folks live in the Atlanta area. I hope there is a good turn out.

[RubyDuby in GA]

5. We usually have a pretty good turnout.

Time to start sending out PMs to see if the old timers are up for it :)

[ulysses]

3. someone should let the Malloys know.

Is Kathy still posting here?

Anyone else up for the date? Love to see everyone, it's been too long...

[RubyDuby in GA]

4. I'll bring my rugrat if you bring yours!

Anyone heard from the rest of the Usual Suspects lately?

:hi:

[ulysses]

6. you know it.

We'll be inbound from a birthday party, so he should be either asleep or hopped up on cake. :scared:

I haven't heard much from anyone lately - I've seen Cat around a couple of times on the boards.

[RubyDuby in GA]

7. I'll begin the preliminary round of PMing

I think we might want to start early in the afternoon/evening so that we can take the little ones out and those with actual social lives can linger on and drink like we used to... :cry:

[ulysses]

8. the birthday party we're attending starts at either 2 or 3.

We could probably be there by 6 or 6:30. And yes, I feel you with the :cry:

[CottonBear]

23. Uly: I sent a an invitation PM to Kathy Malloy on 03-03-08.

Doesn't CatWoman live in their neighborhood? Maybe she can contact them.

[RubyDuby in GA]

24. I also sent a PM to Kathy, but haven't heard back from her.

Hope to see them there!

[CottonBear]

25. Hi Ruby! I can't wait to see y'all on Saturday!

I'm bringing a friend. We hope to get there early so we can check out other places in the area before heading to the Graveyard. Are you bringing Carter and your hubby? Can you PM BuryTheHatchet, MG Krebs and Caspar? I'll PM Debau and XanaDuer and a couple of Athens area DUers.

See you soon! :hi:

[bunkerbuster1]

9. I think I could do this.

If others are bringing rugrats I might bring mine...

[RubyDuby in GA]

10. Ok, not hearing from any of the usuals

People - it's time to start the PM tree. :)

[CottonBear]

11. Hi Ruby! I can't come on the 23 because I have another event to attend.

Sorry I've not responded sooner. I've been deathly ill wiuth a horrible cold.

[RubyDuby in GA]

12. Oh no! We'll since we haven't heard back from anyone else, how about the 8th of March?

That would be the final, take it or leave it date.

Hope you get better soon. I know a lot of people who can't seem to get better because the weather is 70 degrees one day and 30 the next. I suggest hot toddies. Even if you don't get better, you'll be too drunk to care. :o

[CottonBear]

13. March 1 or 8 would be good for me.

Thanks for the hot toddy suggestion! I have been absolutely miserable. My head is a snot factory. Who knew one could produce so much mucous? I am walking around with cold medicines, bottles of hand sanitizer, Kleenex with lotion, medicated vaseline for my poor nose, and Clorox disifecting wipes for any thing that I touch here at the office. Oy! I haven't had a cold like this in years! I rarely get sick, but when I do, I really get sick. The weather doesn't help much. Georgia winters are so unpredictable.
:(

I bought a new (to me) (used) car yesterday. It will be a safer (air bags) ride to Atlanta than my current little Toyota commuter car.

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your hubby and baby Carter! :hi:

[CatWoman]

14. Hi everyone!!

I'm down with March 8!!

:hi:

[CottonBear]

15. Hello CW!

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your kitty cats!

:hi: I hope to see all of our GA DU friends soon!

Hopefully, there will not be a driving rainstorm on I-20 like the last time I drove over there!

[RubyDuby in GA]

[bunkerbuster1]

[CottonBear]

19. Yay! We get to meet you at last!

[doni_georgia]

20. March 1 or 8 would be good for us

My teenager (aka babysitter) has a party on the 23rd. March 8th is the hubby's birthday - sure he would love to spend it getting together with other DUers.

[CottonBear]

21. OK GA DUers! Check in for the March 8 meet up at the Graveyard!
