I figured as much...I just thought it was funny that he put me in there too, so I thought I would pick on him now!
 
Why not! Maybe we should pick on John since he doesn't want us picking on Gillian.
 
Okay...I'll start...

John your a booger-eater...;) :D

Love ya babe! :D
 
I would say "bite me"BUT I LIKE THAT! And "YEW"! Not even!
OK I have no problem in that! FIRE AWAY!
Just remember, what goes around, comes around and if you ain't careful, it'll run you over!
And belive me, I got tread marks to prove it!
 
Andrea: Sounds like one of your kids may have come up with that one!
 
Anne- you are just jealous because YOU didn't think of the booger-eater comment, LOL!
 
Maybe a little.

I think John's kidding... He knows me too well to know that I'd be mean, well, at least to Gillian anyway.
Don't lie Anne, I see those red horns hidin under that blonde hair.
 
I never said they weren't there. LOL
 
Hey...kid's can come up with great ones...I especially like "lame brain"!

and John...as I have said on here before...I like the way my foot tastes okay?
 
Well personallyI don't mind mine either but it's gotta be covered with Italian Seasoning!
I am rubber, you are glue, what you say bounces off me and sitcks to you!
 
You think that is just volume in her hair, but it ISN'T, LOL!!
 
OMG, I hadn't read this thread in awhile.....you guys have too much time on your hands! I always know if I see Anne, Andrea & Gillian's names as posters, then there will be something funny to read; thanks for not letting me down!
And what a nice thing you did for that lady John; I'm sure she appreciated it. And you will appreciate that PC $$
I think I'm just sticking to old fashioned selling....I am thinking about offering 10-15% off the classic stones...we'll see what mood I'm in on Sat!:)
 
OMG...could you just see Anne, Gillian and myself at a conference workshop together (put a few more of us in there too)? The speaker would have to seperate us because we would either not shut up or be causing too much of a distraction!!

You would probably be the first Pampered Chef Consultants to ever get sent to time out!
 
I can see the headlines now, lol.....They would be making new 'rules' for conference attendees.
 
Well, you know for every stupid rule you see, someone did it. Like "employees found sleeping will be terminated." What?! lol
 
Oh, I know one for that one Anne, this guy fell asleep at work all the time, STANDING UP!!! We had a couple of meetings where he would be caught snoring.
 
Now I know I did something right!We are sitting, get this at $738! Not only that I have now 19 pieces of stoneware sold and Gillian, Mary has $140 to spend!
Because the people ordering are all past host, I decied to give them seperate orders. And I am using the true 40% off for their orders. I think it comes out to 12% out of pocket. Well worth it though!
The fun part is that Mary's first item on her list is still the Heart Trivet! We decided that we will close for sure on Friday so...
Too Cool that it worked out this way.
So now that that is out of the way, let me at em!
There is no way in "h e double hockey sticks" any gorup of us could be in the same room and not start trouble! It be to much fun not too!
It be like being a total teenager all over again! Detention anyone! Could imagine a rule that reads, Any two persons from the Chef Success Web Site may not be enrolled in the same sessions at the same time.
Could you just imagine what DebPC would do! She would be just besides herself. Not to mention that I would have to see her every month! I could live with that too! Only because it would be such a total blast!
I say we have our own national conference! Get Gillian tickets and a babysitter! YEE HAA!
Love you guys!

That is awesome John. I am sure she will be truly greatful to you. You better pick your halo back up off the floor since you dropped it earlier.
 
Actually...I am having too much fun right now with it around my ankles!
Besides, I do some of my best work when it becomes a little wicked!
 
I say next year we all pitch in and help Gillian get to conference...we just have to make sure that we are all there together so we get to see her!

WTG John!

Okay I need to stick with this so I can go to conference next year too!

Oh, and Anne, my hubby had to fire a guy who was asleep at work. Or more accurately, passed out drunk in the LADIES restroom!

I worked one retail job where the rules were ,"Don't come to work drunk." I'm thinking why ruin a good buzz at work?

Aren't you glad your current job does not have such a rule?

Aww, that's so sweet! I am really excited to go, but I don't know if I will even make enough this year to afford it! I FINALLY made a friend in my cluster so it would be fun to go with her, but I am not sure that my DH will let me justify spending $1500 to go to Chicago for 3 days!

I guess every person could pay me $2 to not post on every thread and I would make that pretty quickly!! LOL!
 
We could set up a Paypal account and call it Get Gillian's A** to Conference. I KNOW people would contribute!
 
LOL that is a good one!!!!!!!
 
You guys are so nice, sniffle, sniffle, if only you lived here with me! We could actually hang out out like real friends and I won't feel so weird calling you guys my "internet friends". My director thinks I am nuts that I know so much about PC that she never taught me! I just love you guys so much!http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/sad0049.gif
