If they were road apples (well dried), you could do that.Ever wonder who came up with the term "road apples." And why? They aren't sweet. They stink. They probably taste really nasty. And they make a mess of your shoes. No comparison at all to actual apples.

I just passed a guy with the want ads on the steering wheel and he was on his cell phone - I assume - trying to buy something.Major medical insurance, I hope.

Collision coverage.

There's a significant difference between Italian pizza and "road pizza," too.

Haven't you hit 10k posts yet?

 

[chefann]

You're just jealous.Fine. I'm logging off now to go to Michael's and get frames for our frame exchange at the Wave 1 Meet 'n' Greet.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Okay, PS, be that way. I'm going back to driving.

Oh, great. Another nickname for me.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Same ol' nick, just new shorthand for it.

DH thinks I'm a total post slut, too. I mentioned to him last night that I have a new star because I hit 5k, and his response was, "I don't have 5000 posts on TLF, and that's in 7 years!" TLF is the forum he moderates/runs.

 

[katie0128]

But remind him what I said earlier - we are MUCH more fun and cuter, too! Plus we have to disucss extremely pressing social issues like how to be come a PS, what to wear at NC and the status of everyone's pregnancies. Oh and the fact that we MUST give our advice and opinion to everyone about everything... makes racking up posts a necessity!

HIJACK:

I'm waiting to hear about my loan for the business and I can't take it anymore!!!

 

[chefann]

He told me, "I bet most of your posts aren't even quality stuff."

Excuse me?!? Socializing is just as important as telling someone the specific hose connector they need to use on their engine.


Whatever.

Oooh---- I hope you get it!

I'll make a special trip to visit!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

ROAD TRIP!!!!


Let us know Anne - as soon as you hear!

 

[katie0128]

Hey... we'll all come visit, you do a show and we can call it a "business trip"!

 

[chefann]

And let me know if you need cute embroidered aprons. My mom and I have an embroidery machine.

 

[chefann]

Goodie. </sarcasm>

I just got a note from HO that the credit card my potty host (yes, that's how I'll always refer to her in my mind) used to pay for most of her show was declined. Ugh. That means I have to call her. She means well, but I think she's lonely. She always starts to chat about irrelevant things, and then I feel rude when I tell her I have to go.

 

[raebates]

Ann, maybe if you offered to empty her potty chair . . .Naahhh. No commission is worth that.

 

[katie0128]

Never!! Ewwwww... yuck... Used to work in an ER and saw (and did) WAYYYYYYYYY too many things I never want to see again... like having to empty a BSC! Ick!

 

[chefann]

Even 50% commission on this show isn't worth it. Now, had it been a $1000 show, or even $200.... But this thing barely qualified. Ugh. I haven't called her because I've been busy with work stuff.

Tell him that he just has nothing to say.

Then tell him that you have nothing to say, you just say it more often.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I just signed #2 for the new TPC year! Just 13 to go (well, after she qualifies) and I have TPC in recruiting!

 

[chefann]

Go, Beth!!

Woo-hoo! You can do it! You're on track to recruit 24!

 

[katie0128]

Beth - how close are you to being an Advance Director? Have you been able to promote anyone in your cluster yet?
Can't wait to yell for you NEXT year at NC when you walk for TPC Recruiting!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Yea Beth!!!
Did you do the 2 and 2 challenge?

Is TPC in recruiting your goal this year?

What is your avg # of recruits per year?

Am I asking too many questions?

 

[katie0128]

What is the 2 and 2 challenge?

What are your best recruiting tips?

Why would you think you are asking too many questions?

Isn't that what the fun of this site is?

 

[chefann]

The 2 and 2 challenge was to recruit 2 in May and 2 in June. People who do that and attend NC will get special recognition.

 

[katie0128]

I'm just trying to get to #2... oh well...

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I'm just trying to get to #2... oh well...

Daily use of Benefiber can really help that.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Should I have suggested Metamucil?I prefer Benefiber myself.

 

[chefann]

<giggle>

hmmm.... this relates to the potty training thread....

Further developments with the Potty host (see post 1673). I called her about her card, and tried to be gentle and nonjudgemental. I said that "there was a problem when HO tried to submit it. Is it a debit card?" No, it's not. She thought there was "money on it" (telling me that it's a pre-paid credit card), but she doesn't have the cash now. She's sending in money Western Union on the first, so can they process it on the second?

Arghhh!!!! Luckily, I have a couple other things to submit before the end of the month so I can hit $1250 (for my FD bonus), and at least on the 2nd it'll still count towards the June Sell-a-Thon.

My gut instinct is to run screaming from the 2 bookings she got.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don't give her my name when she moves to GR!

(Oh, but I do have the name of someone you could hook her up with! )

 

[chefann]

I wouldn't do that to you, Becky. I like you too much.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I wouldn't do that to you, Becky. I like you too much.

You Like ME! You really like ME!












(and I look nothing like Sally Fields! )

 

[chefann]

You're better looking.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

You're better looking.

Awwww, thanks......but I'm no Gidget!


Seriously though - I would be ducking and hiding from those bookings too! Didn't you say one of them was to be held in the Potty Room again?

 

[raebates]

The thing is, sometimes the bookings from the really wierd shows turn out great. You never can tell.

 

[chefann]

BOTH of them!

 

[raebates]

Oh, that's right. I forgot that they were booked for the same house. Um, how can I put this? Be sure to share all the gory details with us.

 

[chefann]

will do.

If this happens again, will you require cash payments from her in the future?

 

[chefann]

Yep. Based on a couple other things she said at the show, she doesn't have a checking account, and doesn't usually use the credit card. But she didn't have the cash to pay for her order, which is why she used it this time.The check just arrived for the other show I closed Monday. I'm gonna submit that in a couple minutes.
