OH NO!!*** Not the dreaded kLaM jUIce!! Aggghhhh.........
Lynne
awright already, no haggis - no dreaded KLAM JUZ :rolleyes: geezie peezie where is your sense of adventure ;) hmmmm, with the crew that's going to be there I spose we'll have enough adventure on our own :D besides which I don't think airport security would look too fondly at a suspicious type like me carrying WMD like haggis into a crowd :rolleyes:
Laurie
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for
it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
Attn: Karen, Aaron & Tracey (My slumber party friends)
Just went to store to get some things and decided to buy our munchies for while you are down here. (4th of July sale) Let me warn you now...this weekend is NOT for dieting. ;)
I got:
*Cheez-its
*Pepperage Farm Entertaining Collection cookies
*Microwave popcorn (butter lite and honey butter)
*Mini-size Snickers
*Orange slices (candy)
*Pepsi & Sprite
I will get:
*Doritos
*Stuff for breakfast (the 19th) and dinner (the 18th)
*Fruit (cherries, strawberries, peaches, watermelon)
Any other things you'd want to have???
Kelly are you trying to fatten us up? :D As far as soda goes I usually drink diet coke. So if you could pick some up that would be great. If you can't then I'll get some when we get down there. :)Quote:

What, no movies???
Tracey, I'll get some diet coke as well. :)
Movies??? Yep, we got movies...I have a ton of chick flicks... ;) And...a bridal party spa kit that I never used for my wedding. FUN!! :D
chick flicks? bridal party whaaaat? uh oh, I feel a testosterone revolt coming on :eek: Margaritas are lovely but are there "blue laws" in CA? Will there be some place I could buy a jug of white wine, some soda and a lime for some white wine spritzers on a Sunday? It just sounds ever so civilized.

Laurie
lol. we invented the rehab clinic....
ahem, remember BETTY FORD?????
LOL LOL This is great! Everything I would have chosen for a party! ;) LOL YUM!
I can bring some movies down too! It's all about those chick flicks! ;) :o
Laurie, I can bring down some fabulous wines for the fiesta on Saturday...both red and white! Does anyone have a preference?
Also, I will bring my very special "cat-in-the-tree" wine. It is my very favorite (and not only because there is a cat in the tree on the label: hence what I call it) sparkling sweet wine! I only break it out for special occasions, and a PT meeting definitely calls for it.
Everyone, let me know wine preferences and if you all like champaygne-type (sparkling) wine! :D

Karen, I'm more a dry white wine kinda person but I won't be flying in until Sunday anyway so don't worry about me, I can probably pick some up on my way to Gini's or maybe just stash a bottle in my backpack. Can't wait to see you again and meet all the new faces (new to me anyway)
L
You can sure tell that this event is under control. We are down to discussing types of wine and types of movies.
Laurie I p/m'd you.......dry white wine is always on hand.
I am starting to laugh.....we are going to have so much food and so many types of wine - maybe we should change this to the California Pet Talk WEEK!
(so no one needs to drive).
Blue laws? No one ever gets blue in California!! Right Richard???

nope the only things that I can think of are the
sky and ocean here in the big orange
even cowgirls get the blues :rolleyes:
Uuummmm.....got a question for you guys....is this party in California by chance? ;) :D Seems like there can't be a party in California without a discussion of wines first. ;) :DQuote:

Sounds like you're all going to have a great time! Wish we could be there.....:( .........can't wait for all the pics and great stories. We want lots of "evidence." :D
Absolutely! I have become such a wine nut since I moved here, and I have quite the collection of wines! LOL LOL We'll be sure to take lots of pics for you! ;)Quote:

:D :D :D Well, of course, it is in California!!:D :D :D
(read snooty patootie here).
Hamburgers call for a lovely red wine
Chicken calls for a white...........:D :D :D
Hmm, maybe cameras should be banned?
Oh well, too late, Karen already said there would be wine AND CAMERAS!
Maybe we should all wear masks. the names have been changed to protect the innocent :cool:

HELL,
just go to the post office to see my pic...:eek:
LOL Yes, cameras are a MUST! :D Also, everyone must bring pictures of their pets! I already have a pile ready to go! Laurie, finally you'll get to see some pics of my babies! I can't believe I forgot them last time! :rolleyes: :o
This sure will be fun!
Any takers for the zoo on Saturday, the 19th??
Happy 4th of July!!
I think it is time that we coordinate plans so that we have some fairly firm times to give every one.
I will p/m everyone with directions, address and phone number.
Saturday, I would like to have the BBQ start at around 2 PM.
However, I am flexible...........
Sunday is the day we really need to coordinate because we have Laurie arriving by plane.......and we need to pick her up......and then have enough time to eat.........and time to drive to the train station for both Tracey and Laurie.
This morning I woke up thinking about the event, cleaning my grill, getting food, and all of the fun that goes into it!!
This morning, I woke up with this thought:"Today, we were supposed to fly to San Fransisco..."
Sniff sniff.....
But Lut, look at it this way.........this year we will have a trial run of the First Annual California Pet Talk BBQ. So, when you come NEXT year, we will have it just right for you! And you will be completely healed and be able to enjoy yourself to the fullest!
Gini, you are an angel but please don't worry about me. You build it (bar-b-que) and I will come. I'm pretty adaptable to arrangements and Tracey p.m'd me about the train so things will be fine. My plane is due to arrive at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time Sunday and I can surely figure out a way to get to your place (watch out Beverly Hills :D ;)) Thanks for the offer for the airport pickup but if you are going to be the hostess w/ the mostess for two days running you shouldn't have to worry about being a chauffer for out of towners as well. Just relax and enjoy this wonderful time.
Laurie
Lut, next year.......... hooray! Just get well.
God, I'm so jealous. Wish I could be there...:( :(
Lut,
We'll be sure and have a toast to you...I'll get pictures, so it'll be like you were there. :) I'm sorry you aren't able to come this year. But, just think. With you home, getting all better, you'll be so comfortable for next year. :D
Zoo people:
*Karen
*Aaron
*Tracey
*Me
I'll PM everyone else to see if anyone else wants to go. The zoo opens at 10:00 AM and I recommend being there when the gates open. It'll be a bit hot and then it'll give us at least three hours to wander around.
If you guys want, Karen and Aaron will be leaving to go home on Sunday at about 5ish. We can take Laurie and Tracey to the train station and then they can go on home (after we drop ME off)? Would that work?
A 2:00 start time for Saturday is fine with me!
Sunday, any time is fine with me. I PM'd Laurie to see if Karen and I could pick her up from LAX, since Karen and her know each other a little bit, it'll be easy to find her. :)
Yes, that will work since there's a 6:35 pm train leaving on Sunday. So I'll just plan to take this one. :DQuote:

Why???? Why oh why must you be in Southern Cali when I'm way up here in Nor Cali??????????????????
*Light Bulb Swtiches On In Crystal's Head*
Those of you that can't make it because you're in Nor Cali....we could always meet up here.....I live less than 5 miles from a bark park, too......
would anyone be interested in trying to have a "Nor Cali" meeting this Summer???
I also live in the Northern California area so maybe some of us Northern Californians can set up a meeting sometime soon. :) I noticed that you have both cats, dogs and fish. I only have 4 cats and I've been going to quite a few cat shows too. This might also interest you. :)Quote:

Yes, I have quite an aray of fur/scale-babies. But, I'm sad to say, Cleetis was a bit inbred, and he didn't make it.
When you say cat shows, you mean like where they judge them? Because I have a pedigre Flame Point Siamese, and I'm told all the time I should show him. Even if I don't put him in cat shows, it would be interesting just to go to one and see what goes on.
I think it would be great to get the Northern Californians that can't make it together up here. Hey, I have a BBQ too!
Crystal:D

ahhhh, I see. I guess there's not so many Nor Cali people like I thought.
Bummer.
Crystal
There are quite a few...but, lots of people only check Pet Talk during the week. :)
Like NM says, a lot are tied up on holiday weekends and can't get to PT. Also, it seems like there are a lot planning the upcoming So. CA get-together. I'd like to wait to plan a No. CA once that one's complete. (Life's getting complicated right now and I can only hold so much in my head, pathetic, but true.)
Yeah, I guess I just didn't realize it was a holiday weekend, and others have lives, unlike myself....Quote:

I am willing to host the Nor Cali PT gathering. I live in Sacramento suburbs, Roseville to be exact and we have a Bark Park complete with various sized hydrants, unlimited flowing water and doggie swimming pools!
I can also BBQ like a son-of-a-gun!
Crystal
Sure, we can plan a Northern Cali PT meeting! Welcome to PT Crystal, if I haven't already welcomed you:) I also live in somewhat northern cali (Gilroy, CA to be exact). Maybe we can start another thread for a northern CA meeting? ;) Also, there is a group of us that usually tries to make it to the cat shows that come around from time to time. Primarily the Pleasanton cat shows are the best, but there are others too! We'll be sure to all keep in touch for those.
I'm looking forward to the PT BBQ weekend! It's only 2 weeks away! I'll be diving into my "wine cellar" to pick a few wines to bring down! ;)
**hugs**
Karen
Let me know if there's anything besides wine, pictures and a camera to bring down! ;)
Thanks for the welcome Karen...yes, we've met.
I will let you do the honors of starting the Nor Cali thread, since it is your forum.
I know Gilroy well....I lived in San Jose for a while, and my in-laws live in San Jo.
We have nice weather up here in Sac until about Early October, and sometimes even up to Halloween, so that should give us pleanty of time to plan.
Crystal
Only 8 more days and our CA PT meeting begins!!! WOOHOO!!!!! :D :D :D
