In Iowa! Activities include unpacking Bob's U-haul and Thanksgiving dinner. [Big Grin]

Highlight: dkw's cornbread stuffing.

Y'all do realize that our family events are pretty much automatically Hatrack gatherings now, right? [Razz]

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Um. I was going to try chestnut stuffing this year. Is this a problem?

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Hmmmm. I really like the cornbread stuffing.

But I suppose I can be flexible. What's for dessert? You making that pumpkin cheesecake again? Or would you like me to bring something? It would involve pears.

Yah, I'm going to be in Montana, thanks though. [Smile]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Umm.. Bob is moving up there already?

[Big Grin]

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Yep, he's renting a house across town. Across town, of course, means what, 4 blocks away?

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

I think he might have wanted to spill that secret himself, though. [Big Grin]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Well, you weren't making it much of a secret -- I meaning talking about cleaning out books, making room, emptying a U-haul.....

[Big Grin]

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Yeah, I was aiming that remark at ElJay.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Ooops.

Um, but you kinda mentioned it in the sonnet thread, too, what with talk about "moving up here in seven days or I'm flying down to get you." So I don't feel too bad.

But Bob, sorry if I spoiled your fun.

Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :

"Spoiling Bob's Fun" would be a good band name.

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

That was part of a set up.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

You really should tell me these things. I honestly thought it had been mentioned already.

I could delete, and only a few people would know?

Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :

Mayfly!

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Nope, too late now. [Big Grin]

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

*shrug* Okay. But I hate to ruin a good set-up. And I really doubt more than 5-7 people have been in here.

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Eh. It probably wouldn't have been that funny anyway.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Shall we tally how many people have seen the thread? [Wink]

*raises hand* One!

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Right. So about that cheesecake... [Big Grin]

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

Saw it. I'll pretend to be surprised, if you want to go ahead and delete it, though.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Everyone who raises their hand is volunteering to be a Spoiling Bob's Fun groupie once we get it started!

Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :

I see nothingk, nothingk!

Edited for greater Schultziosity.

Or someone could start a thread titled "Bob's moving to Iowa next week - Eljay spilled the beans"

[Evil]

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

You bring dessert. I might not have time, what with flying down to Texas to drag Bob back and all.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

*interested* By the hair, or by the beard?

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

sndrake, you are bad. [Razz]

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

I notice that none of the people who are staring at those spilled beans are offering anything in the way of help with unloading various U-Hauls.

Ah well...

Have I mentioned that I HATE to move.

But...the prospect of having dkw down here to drag me away sounds like fun.

And of course the entire "W" clan will be there rummaging through my...um, I mean helping me unpack...

[Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

If I could help via the internets, I would. [Wink]

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :

*giggle* Poor Bob. We pity you, really we do. If only you weren't so darn happy.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Hmmmm. I believe we are helping you unload. As far as helping you unpack, I could be bribed into doing the kitchen or perhaps the office. I do not care to rummage throu... um, unpack anything else. [Razz]

But I specialize at pre-move-in cleaning.

Good for you, Bob.
