+bumblingbs Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I was trumpeting about Spookfest earlier this year. I would LOVE to do a Halloween event, but it's not going to happen.There are certain words / phrases that should not go in the same sentence together. Like *my house* and * major structural damage*. It gets better and better. I've now been told that to keep my family safe, I need to move out of my house. My friend thinks its an excellent opportunity for an extended camping trip, but she can laugh, she doesn't have *major structural damage*. Anyway, it looks like I'll be busy for a while. And broke for a while. Shop99er has got that Halloween thing going on, and I have an excellent outfit planned. My car is due to blow up next, but I hope to see you there. And, I have some excellent ideas for Spookfest '06. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Sorry to hear about the "major structural damage" thing. Best of luck getting the problem straightened out. Given that, the Halloween event is not that big a thing. Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Well look at it this way... you now have a creepy house for spookfest. All joking aside though, I hope there have been no injuries to you and yours and I hope you get through this with a smile at the end of it all. Cheers! TL I know in each life a little rain must fall, but dangitall, I'm getting tired of the buckets! Edited July 29, 2005 by TotemLake Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hey. thanks, Weight Man. We can move in with you, right? (Honestly, through all of this ROLFL It's just life, right?) Mrs B Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Totem Lake, thanks, too. I've actually stopped drinking, but when I go into our "studio" I feel like a drunkard in a funhouse. The floor is at all sorts of weird angles. All we need is those funky mirrors, and we'll be set. Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hey, "Life's a Beach, then you die"...or something like that... Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Allanon, I was on the beach yesterday, and I didn't find the frigging cache. My house may be falling down around me, but the cache was a 1 1/2 and I didn't find it. That's what I'm really upset about. Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I feel your pain, Mrs. B...I really do. It's not unusual for me to DNF multiple times before finding things right in front of me. Quote Link to comment
+Stump Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Allanon, I was on the beach yesterday, and I didn't find the frigging cache. My house may be falling down around me, but the cache was a 1 1/2 and I didn't find it. That's what I'm really upset about. Hey, I have 2 DNFs on a virtual cache this month. The second one even after a hint from the owner. I know how you feel. Sorry about the house and the spookfest cancelling. Quote Link to comment
+Wienerdog Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Mrs. B!! It's nice to see a post by you. Too bad about your house. That's horrible. Do you think you will stay in P.T.? Any plans for some new caches? We loved your Sweet Sixteen Series so much. We never made it over to get the final. Dang! Ms. WD Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Dear Wienerdogs~ It has been a horrible, unimaginable year. I owe Lucy, of Lucyand Rickie more apologies than you can imagine. Somewhere, underneath, is the girl who plotted the Romp, and I wasn't even ~right~ then. But I was not nearly so wrong. I still have a small child, and I am ready. I wish I could go back, but going forward is a better teacher. I'm glad to hear from you. KB Quote Link to comment
+podlians pod Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 all else aside from misfortunes i believe as of right shop99er is planning to set up sometype of a halloween caching thingy as of right now kinda to go along with the luau on the 13th.. Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Oh, yeah. I don't know him very well, but I would trust Shop99er to come up with something special for Halloween. Honestly, the first time I met him I thought my heart was going to stop. He's just that kind of guy. And, I've said it before, but his wife is a sweetheart. You'll be OK! KB Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Yes Deb is a sweetheart and I know what you mean about Mark. The first time I saw him he scared me too. Dick, W7WT Edited July 30, 2005 by W7WT Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm having a bad year, a bad month, an especially bad week. But you woke me up with a giggle. I'm picturing that big Hawaiian shirt coming out of the brush towards me, and its hilarious. That man is lucky I don't actually know how to operate my pepper spray, because I've got a can of it that's supposed to bring down a grizzly bear. Probably wouldn't affect him at all. Hee-ha!

+bumblingbs Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Too bad this a geocaching forum, and not an appropriate place to discuss contracters. I cancelled Spookfest when I was told I was $10,000 short of saving my home. There gets to be a point when you're so used to bad news, you can't be shocked anymore. It might as well been 100 thousand. The end of the story(Does anyone remember Paul Harvey?) is a little different. There still will be no Spookfest. Watch out! By October '06 I will have had two years to think about it. Oooh. I like the thinking part. KB Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) Honestly, the first time I met him I thought my heart was going to stop. He's just that kind of guy. I have that affect on women... Mrs. B, I hope everything comes out OK for you. [edit--spelling] Edited August 1, 2005 by Shop99er Quote Link to comment
