Place: Coppell Comments: I'll call Charles tomorrow and see if one evening next week works for him for a Snuffer's party. Sandy, sorry about the bug problems.
Place: 66erville Comments: Sorry to hear about your bugs, SNL. While this is Charles and Sam's party, I'm sure it is open to all. Or at least everybody who likes Sam or Charkes and I believe that includes EVERYONE. Invitations, sphenvitations! Hope Don gets paid plumbers wages for his pool/HOA work. Oh, yea, how come none of you smarties reminded me to set the clock on my VCR? Who knows what I recorded now??
Place: Richardson Comments: I'm proud of you guys for organizing a get-together. More power to you! I've got my hands full here at home. But I am working on our Spring Get-Together for late April. I posted a note on the Events pg. I wd love to join y'all at Snuffer's, but I'm just not able at this time. Of course, y'all really didn't ask me . . .   Besides our bath redo, this is a very busy time for me and Don with the HOA. We're trying to arrange for some deck work to be done at our HOA pool (Don is doing the restroom repair work himself) and I'm in the process of negotiating contracts for 4 different vendors in connection with the HOA pool services. They all have to be done by 4-1. Geeeez! It's like being back at work again!!! Then Don discovered something really scary yesterday. As he went out our bdrm door to the patio to cut more cement board, his hand rested against the door frame trim and his thumb went right thru it! After checking it out . . . we have TERMITES! they have eaten the inside of the door frame trim! Keep in mind, less than 2 yrs ago Don painted both the doors & the trim on all 4 doors going outside. It was in good shape then. Those varmints chewed up the entire trim piece from top to bottom & the outside was as thin as paper!
Place: 66erville Comments: Sounds great to me, Sam. You two are an excellent reason to celebrate (like this group needs one). OK now we have a place, now we need a date and time!
Place: Coppell Comments: Ok time change check. Watch, clocks, oven, microwave, coffee pot, old clock radio, car. pool? , boat? Anything else? Sarah and I were watching TV last night. Both started yawning at 9:00. Were not for sure if it was really 10:00 or 8:00. Just. Know we lost an hour sleep. Go figure. Jack, Charles Moss and I were talking about a celebration get together at Snuffers on Midway near Beltline. "High" Robert. How are you this morning?
Place: Groggy Comments: Did I ever mention I think daylight savings time is stupid? The first week really sucks! Now, SNL, for those of us who don't read between the lines very well, are you trying to let us know that the kiddy is low and we all need to chip in to keep the guestbook on line?? Don't want that to happen.
Place: Richardson Comments: Hope everyone has al their clocks changed by now. Sammy - I thought of one more clock that can be really important . . . the thermostat!! When we had to get a new A/C unit last Spring, we also upgraded the old stat in our house. The new one has a clock & we can set different times for it to come on/off and temp changes throughout a 24 hr period. The only ones left are the car & my wrist watch.
Place: Fort Collins, Co. Comments: Ok , I was just messing with you about the Space City gab. But the auto door did get the best of me. I am sore all over and the tickets to Space City do help with the pain. Now I am very sorry if I have offended anyone with the joking. it is I am alone up here except for the wife, and thank God for her. I was a joker in school and I reckon I still am in a lot of ways.
Place: Richardson Comments: You guys are funny!! And thanks for the reminder about the auto coffee pot Sammy. That will be the first clock I change! Reckon if we band together Texans can get the Texas Legislature to adopt the common sense rule of Arizona? To quote Jack, "We don't need no stickin' time change!". Hey Sammy - Recvd your donation ck last night in the mailbox. THANK YOU! For those of you who may be new to the GB or just wondering why people donate, here's the reason. It cost money to pay for a Server to provide us space, registration, site name registration and a separate GB. In 2010 our provider offer me a 5 yr deal that wd save over $525. I took it. It runs out in March 2015. But the GB is separate & $42 annually. I have a separate ckng acct for SOC "66 Reunion Fund and bec I have other accts with the bank, they don't ever charge a fee for the acct. Of course I don't charge anything for managing it, so every penny donated goes to the SOC Fund! I use that money to pay the Internet provider and the GB provider. Some of it helps pay for the little extras provided at each reunion. I have a receipt for every ck written and there are two names on the ckng acct. Mine & Don Fugate. Just in case anything happens to me, Donnie has access to the acct and he knows the access codes & passwords to the site & GB. I'm a fairly conservative person and I guard that money in the SOC acct just as closely as I do my own ckng! When I do our reunions, I spend hours/days on the pho and in person trying to find the best deal for our money and the vendor that will provide us with the most for our dollars. There is info on our Donations pg as to where to send donations. Always make cks payable to "SOC '66 Reunion Fund" not to me. Just thought I'd put this out there in light of several people asking about sending in donations. The books are always open to anyone who wd like to review them. ![[thumb]](/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif "Thumb - :thumb:")
Place: 66erville Comments: Once again, Mr. Smith, you have summed up the idiocy that is us. As the wise man said, "you can't make a blanket longer by cutting off one end and sewing it back on the other end".
Place: Coppell Comments: OK, let's see if I understand this time change thing. We set our clocks ahead one hour, so when I get up at 6:00, it's really 5:00; therefore, I can go back to sleep and get an extra hour's zzzzzzzs; however, I will be late for church since it will be 10:00 and not 9:00 which means my coffee will be cold since I set the timer for 7:30 and it will be 6:30 and sat for 2.5 hours. THAT ABOUT IT FOLKS?
Place: SpaceCity Comments: JD is the winner, tada . I have been living in COLORADO for seventeen years now and at last Space City comes 20 to the pack. Last Tue. I got tangled up with an automatic door, just after leaving Space City and fell. I banged up my right knee and very small crack to the side of my old skull. Spent two days in the hospital. Home now , and yes Spock us humans can now find Space City on our on.
Place: Richardson Comments: I'll 2nd that emotion!!!
Place: Oregon Comments: If all I ever lost was an hour I would be 'happier than a pig in slop'. ![[biggrin]](/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")
Place: Richardson Comments: Don't Forget . . . We Have To Set Our Clocks Forward 1 Hour This Saturday Night! Yes, forward, we're losing an hour!!! ![[bawl]](/images/boards/smilies/bawl.gif "Bawl - :cry:") ![[180_Clock_DST]](http://www.soc1966.com/images/180_Clock_DST.jpg)
