Rae, I read the thread title under new posts and thought 'bull%$#!' you're full of it. LOL...good one though! I knew there would be lots of posts already. The only way I knew was I just woke up 1/2 hour ago and my daughter already pulled a April fool's prank...way to go Rae! :D

I'm rarely serious. I'm afraid the seriousness will stick and I'll become like many of my family members.
 
I was so confused especially after reading FB this morning... Okay...SAHMamaw here. I have two little people all morning and luckily they are too young to understand
April Fool's Day! Shame on you! LOL!

You never know. I can be dangerous. :balloon:

I don't usually read that thread where you hid your joke. Just for you, I did today, though. Bad. Really bad. :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the scare, Rae! Good thing I thought twice and read on and then I laughed.

The really funny thing is that I had to edit the silly thing 3 times, adding a sentence or two each time, in order to keep the spoiler from being spoiled in the easy reveal.
 
I think that was to funny Rae...
 
omg...you had me too!

I was like, "nooooo"

glad it was a joke!!

I'm very good at that laugh, Becky.
 
not funny!!!! What would we do without you around here????
 
Well, I am very relieved that you were just foolin' us. After Beth up and left us here, I get nervous when I see something like that! What would we ever do without you?!
 
I was confused (and I'm not even blonde...) when you said you were through and then that you'd see us in Chicago. SO glad it was a joke!

I've decided to leave both PC and CS. I've decided that, after almost 5 years, I'm simply not cut out for this business. I want to thank you all for your support and friendship.

I wish you all the best in your businesses. I will miss some of you. Others of you, not so much.


Maybe I'll run into a few of you in Chicago some July.

Goodbye.




April Fools! Boy, you people are easy. LOL!

Rae~





You are a shit! LOL







For those of you who know me, you know that I don't cuss much...but for some reason that was the only thing I could call Rae. I was even thinking as I was reading it, that she must be pulling a joke, but then part of me thought maybe she was being serious! (My grandma used to call me that when I was being devilish...she said it in a loving way, if that makes sense...)
 
Rae just got on did not read the spoiler you had me fooled. lol
