Official A2K Gathering in Chicago, May 7th, 2006!

Oh man, I'd love to meet Phoenix...

Wouldn't it be cool if for all of our conservativeness in estimates a passel of us decide to come at the last minute and there are like 50 A2Kers or something?

Thanks for the update on the "Just the facts" thread, Thomas!

Oy, Walter. On Friday I spent the entire afternoon in the ER with my mom. I know that my presence there was very helpful to her, and I got a lot of things done of which she had no clue!

I'd love to meet Phoenix too..
Maybe you can get some good help in place, Phx...

That's indeed something different to my/my mother's situation.

Osso- She IS in an assisted living facility, and they give her excellent care. It's just that she is at a point where there is a definite deterioration in her functioning, and even with the help from the facility, there are always loose ends that I am perpetually tying.

I solved the "parent" problem years ago by having an obit notice sent to the house.

...and with that, dys, went the inheritance of all of that money.

I know, Phoenix. I was hoping for just a couple of days you could have substitute loose end tying help. And I know there are times you just can't really have anyone but you do that.

Im going to have to bow out of the Maybe section.

Jillians fall took alot of our extra money for medical bills.

>sigh<
sorry..

Spendy, for thoses with little money, being in prison is the best way to get really good medical treatment. Sad indeed.

Seconded.

Soz, I didn't realize A2K changed the rule regarding edits when I suggested your first post on the other thread made you uniquely qualified to provide updates of critical info. Didn't it used to allow edits indefinitely?

That changed a few months ago, Bill. Turns out that the edits took up a lot of... er... computer energy. Oh, why didn't I just wait until Soz would answer. Anyway, it was part of an a2k revamp after several months of the site slowing down. Now you can edit only up to the time someone else posts, so the old update of a post thing has gone in a sort of sacrifice for speed.

Osso's answer was good!

Now how am I going to pull an Olliver North before running for office?

Blatham just re-affirmed his 'probable' status on another thread. Exxxcellent!

You guys better pick your venue very, very carefully.

Well, I need to price tickets and make sure that I could use some vacation time. So right now I am a probably.... My brother lives in chicago so this could work out really nice.

So.... I'm afraid I will not make it to Chicago after all. I got a part in a musical (Cleopatra!) and that will run from April 20 through May 27, every Friday and Saturday. And I was sooo looking forward to it. I hope there will be live coverage!

You poor darling, Dag. Fame does have it's price.
