| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/3/2007 2:46:24 PM | Laffs.........now that's a first for me.........proper party etiquette says it's gauche to be the first to arrive at the party........wonder if that applies to "sign up" for the party?...........
I'm looking forward to another very fun evening with this wonderful group of people!
I called you earlier, Kimmie, and left a message. I'll try again later and, of course, you can always reach me via email. | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/5/2007 1:58:01 PM | | Well since we don't have a link at the top of everyones inbox page it will show up under.........".lastest local posts" at the bottom. Just as long as someone keeps posting. | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/5/2007 2:40:33 PM | Ron, Thanks for letting me know how to find our party posting!! I wonder why it isn't set up like all the other parties, with a Link on top of the "inbox page"??
Laurene, how can we fix this?? Big Fish must want to see you as the Hostess to take us serious about putting together a successful party. And you thought you were going to get a break??
Well gang, let put this Luau together, and show Big Fish, this bunch swims as a school of fish, Fin-to-Fin !!!
Newbie's, welcome, Lynda, forget the myth, we are all pleased to see you signed up first. You have a wonderful energy level, and we already adore you.
Taxman, send us pics, after the parade, and let us see how you float. We would have loved to see you doing the hula!!!
Phil, from Burnt Store Cafe(or Grille-the sign says one thing, the phone book the other), anyways, Phil is working on some tropical specials for us. Any suggestions?
Love you all, Kimmie and Jerry | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/5/2007 3:01:31 PM | The first thing that came to mind was ham and pineapple.
Must be that "Howie Maui" pizza I'm thinking of.
Any kind of seafood... ....fruit salad.. ...cocoanut (I know, allergies!).......surf and turf ..... And of course, any drink with an umbrella in it!
Uh-Oh, I'm getting hungry just thinking of stuff.
Better go fix dinner.

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/5/2007 6:26:01 PM | Hi to everyone,
Thank you for the freindly hello, I'm bringing my brother, another friend and had another post herself and join, Lady Dreamer. Can't make the dinner thing, but hopefully will meet some of you at Slip Knott. I've already spoken to Ron and D-Mac very nice men to talk to. Buffy | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/5/2007 8:20:21 PM | Kimmie, I'll see what I can do about pics of the parade! Have fun at the Luau!
It's probably a moot thought, but if I were going to Burnt Store this time, I would have inquired Phil about any jerk-marinaded dishes (i.e. jerk chicken or pork, Calypso grouper).
Is the group still plan on going to First Friday in St. Pete on May 4th? | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/6/2007 2:45:32 AM | Mornin' gang, Don't you think Laurene will make that Hula skirt talk???Any of you other ladies willing to do some "sign language" with those hips and hands, like those hula girls do in the islands? BellaLynda, you said you "might" try it? How about a YES!! Sorry I didn't get back to you by phone, will call today.
Blues Lady, I know you said you don't dance....can you play a yu ka lay lee? Where's Bylle...that girl can dance....will a totum pole work as well as a palm tree? Buffy,Keywest,Ladydreamer, lilsweet, tmmbaycraft, any dancers amoung you? I'll get the skirts, if you'll bring the moves. Ron, D-man,ol blu eyes, Jerry, any of you guys good at juggling flaming torches...or should we stick to coconuts??? Make sure you guys all wear shorts so we can have a "Who's leggs are they contest". Girls we will line the guys up behind a drape and guess who's sexy leggs are who's. And Taxman is ducking out on us. Stary night Mark, Scubaman, Angel, handsonu2,tonyssecret, when are you guys going to sign up? Us girls will be wanting some dance partners. Speaking of which Were's Tom? For those of you I haven't met yet, at one of Laurene's parties, WELCOME!!! Please take a moment to introduce yourselves. I'm looking to meet some more of this great school of dancin' fish. Taxman, thanks for the idea's for dinner, wish you were going to be with us. Kimmie | |

Yeah I need some more ladies in hula skirts. I don't want a repeat of halloween where there were only 2 of us dressed up. LOL
My cell is dead today, so you won't be able to contact me until this evening.
Yes Dennis we are calling you. Can we do a hula swing dance? In exchange for breakfast? LOL
Yeah where is Bylle? She's been way to quiet lately? | |

| Port Charlotte Luau/ Get Together April 28, 2007 Posted: 4/6/2007 9:05:26 AM | JOECAT, no-one figured out you were the one with the Horseshoe ring in the pics from Laurene's last party. (I was wearing the other one). We hope you will join us again for the Luau!
Mary, Mary where have you been, hope to see you again!!
Blueslady- I'll watch out for you on the dance floor...but before I drag you off I'll get a couple of pics for the gang to enjoy. I hope several of you will bring camera's and post pics. It's fun to see things we didn't see happening.
Who would have guessed Dennis would be the one giving LAP DANCES!! Butt(yes that's his on display in the pics) we know we have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to that mans personality!! hazeleyedgirl, will you be joining us for dinner and some hula dancing?? Come one girls throw your name in the middle of the dance floor. I'm threading flowers together to make "belts" for the top of those Hula skirts. And where is swede2, or Kodak /computer wiz!! Thanks again for helping to get the pics on the site. This time they can be posted alot faster.
I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE A BLESSED EASTER HOLIDAY, AND FIND A RENEWED LOVE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN. THE FRIENDSHIPS WE ALL SHARE ARE , AND THE FACT THAT THE LORD CARES , FOR ALL OF US. Kimmie, and Jerry | |
