Arkansas GTG Part II

[carold]

If I'm as good at remembering who played which card as I am at remembering names, I better not bet anything important or get involved in one of those "take a shot" deals carold

[AlmostThere]

love Mexican Train and also Chicken Foot, BJ!

[sharon]

Yayyyy! We got the banner!! WooHoo...been to a lot of GTG's but never got to sign the banner!!

What did other GTGs do - sign it and roll it back up?
Vickie said there are no grommets in it for hanging...

Anybody travel with a grommet makers thing? We could fix that. If not there is always duck tape!

Clothes pins could work too. Strung between trees, or from the light pole and a tree, or if all else fails, string it between truck antennas. But somehow I don't think people are gonna mistake us for a "church get together" Not too many churches will be drinking Alligator Piss and moonshine. Hope no one is insulted, because I made a joke about a church get together, have been to many of them in my past. I am so excited.
Vickie, changing my swedish meatballs to sweet and sour meatballs as an appetizer complete with toothpicks.

We were thinking those small binder clips, but The Pest said the banner is pretty thin and she didn't think the clips would work.

Boy, I'm feeling so insulted, I think I'll go take a swig of that Kentucky Moonshine...

And I need to ask - you chop up those toothpicks pretty small, don't you?
Otherwise, they might be kinda hard to swallow.
Is it kinda like a filler, like my mom did with meatloaf and oatmeal?

I think I have a grommet maker. I'll try to find it before I get to AR. You guys know me, I have everything and a extra.

So, I just ordered a new state-of-the-art Sony camera that takes stills AND movies in VERY low-light conditions.
Y'all better think about behavin' or we could have ourselves a runaway YouTube Hit!

I'm just sayin'...

And Karen, you really have a grommet thing? Wow, I'm impressed, especially if you have TWO of them.

I disappeared years ago when anyone brought out a movie camera - hate them as much now. Am I going to have to avoid you, Mitch? Bad enough the damn digital cameras take movies now -right Liz? Who got me singing and dancing last year. I get in enough trouble with still pictures

So glad the banner has made it. And if it's that thin - should we think about getting a piece of sturdy fabric and one of the sewers might be willing to sew it to make it a tad thicker? Just a suggestion - can't be me - I don't sew. But I have all kinds of projects I'd do in my rv if I did.

Yes, I'm excited. But also nervous here - as I have SO MUCH to do before I leave here. Place is going to be full to the brim with people this weekend - so I figure I'll spend it doing all the work in here - want to totally clean out and reorganize my storage on the upper bunk - and in a couple other areas. Maybe will even get my outside stuff put away if I can get that done. I hate being rushed the last day when I've stayed someplace awhile. And that upper bunk has been a disaster since May! I'm not going to worry about my filthy carpet and ceiling - those are both getting washed when I get to my sister's a couple weeks after AR. So, will live with them as is unti then. No comments when we do the rv tours - hahaha - now I know you each with - and Mitch will take movies of it!

[carold]

Beth, you could always wait til the GTG to organize. With all of us, we'll have it sorted, tagged, and stashed before we have our 2nd glass of alligator piss carold

I love mexican train and I even have little choo choos that make whistle noises when you have to freeze your train. I also want to learn to play, hand & foot, or whatever it's called.

Hey Nan, if you are reading this thread, put your grommet maker in and come on to the AR gtg, it's a good excuse.

Oh yes I'm excited and ready to go.

[Liz]

Does anyone play Mexican Train dominoes?

I do!

And I believe we hung the banner on the back of my van using mailing tape at the FL gtg, but grommets are a good idea. Especially if it's going to snow.

[sharon]

SNOW????? It wouldn't dare! Did that last year and ain't gonna do it this year!

[Marslet]

Mitch, went back and reread my post. It does sound like I am including the toothpicks with the meatballs.
Just for your information, I am leaving the toothpicks whole, now what you do with it after you get it is your own business Some like to suck on it, others like to roll it around on their tongue, and others like to pinch it between their teeth. Let your imagination run free!!!!
