But by calling this a conference the great thing is we can write off all of our expenses while having a v. fun weekend! and as long as we all get 1 or 2 ideas (while I know would happen at some point) it was worth our time :)

I vote for just learning 1 or 2 ideas of what NOT to do with your PC business... it is still learning something

Using Internet Explorer 7 and the new tabs, I tend to logon, go to new posts, then open everything that looks of interest in a new tab, then go tab to tab reading and posting...it's multi-tasking, chef success style.

Hubby uses Firefox, I kind of flip back and forth but do find myself using IE more since we use it at work.

when my oldest started school, he and his buddies decided that was the "cool bus" (no idea how that came about) and were bugging us mommies ALL YEAR to get them on the bus and off the "really retarded long one" (very ironic choice of words by the 6 year olds!!)

boys are strange (whether they are 6 or 60!):p
 
It's all part of our charm. :)
 
My daughter plays tennis for her high school team. One game they had to take a short bus. She said it was really funny how people would make eye contact with them when they were riding a large bus but wouldn't look up when the short bus passed.
 
ooooh, CHARM... that is what you call it...
 
What about instead of a HO tour, we have a local winery tour and our mode of transportation is the short bus? We could always call the tour "research" as we do sell a wine bottle opener...
 
If we all cram ourselves into a short bus, it might be more interesting for some of us than for others of us. ;)
 
PERFECT!!! That made me laugh so hard I almost choked on the piece of really yummy microwave cake I made earlier that I am eating!
Oh, and only the really cool cheffers get to ride on the short bus! Do you think they would give us samples for our "research"????

WE kinda like it. ;)

you guys have a lot of things about yourselves you like that we girls aren't as impressed with...

Uh-oh... here come the cooties... ;)
 
Nah - we each have parts that the others are most interested in.
 
Wow... one can sure tell that it is a Saturday night here on CS... it would definitely make for an interesting ride after the Wine Tasting with everyone crammed on the short bus...
 
I'm starting to really like this CS Only Conference idea.
 
Now the only thing is... do we have anyone organized and sober enough to actually get it together????? I'm not sure that is looking too hopeful!
 
Heck.. when I am sober I can't figure out the damn Wine Bottle Opener :/
 
then how do you possibly get drunk?
 
Bourbon and beer require no special tools.
 
sssssshhhhh... you're making me laugh too loud... I'm gonna wake the kids and then I'm gonna be very "Cross Mont Blanc" at you!

(hey, did I just cross thread, post, dress, whatever????)
 
If you're cross dressing, I don't want to know about it.(BTW, that is supposedly Victoria's Secret.)

I would have an outline in front of me and ignore it too. My problem would also be that I start a story and turn it into a novel. I go on and on and on and so forth until everyone is tired of listening and then their minds wonder onto somthing else, and meanwhile I am still jabbering about it until I can turn it into something else, at which point I have lost focus and can't remember why I was there talking to begin with.

Bryan's favorite thing to say to me is, "Is there a shorter version of this story?" LOL! I hear you guys!
