I am on the list twice -- Do I take up twice the room? Am I twice as nice? I make twice the trouble? I am not paying for two of me!! My family was going over the calendar for the next couple of months. Some one wanted to plan a get together for October 10th and half the room said, Mom won't be here - that is her Vegas weekend :rofl;
-
I just posted on the other thread - my trip accompanying Jenna for her stay in France has been confirmed and I won't be home until Oct. 13. I hate to miss this get together because it's something I look forward to all year! :( I know everyone will have a great time.
-
Bet too far for me to travel and be back to go to work on Monday!!! LOL
-
I'm on hold until we get my kidney stuff taken care of. I should know by Sept. 16th though.

-
I wish I wish I wish........ aaaaaahh
-
You know i would come if i wasnt soooooooooo far away , but i will be with you in spirit !
-
Anyone else coming???
Maybe! Depends on how you all treat me from now to then..... (no smiley is appropriate so think a smirk and a lift of the eyebrow.) ::) :P
-
Come on Dan! Wenchie will be there :yahoo; And you will fall in love with KellyT :2thumbsup; Talk to your social worker, get you dialysis booked and come on!! :boxing; Don't make me come to Houston and use physical force :rofl;
-
Paris, my head floor nurse Kevin is good friends with the lead at one of the most popular tourist dialysis center in Las Vegas. He said he'd take care of it if I decide to go.
But it still depends... I'll post the name of that Davita next later when I see Kevin to see if anyone else will be using it.
-
this is the post i didn't want to make. april and i have have had the financial week from hell, it started with me hitting a deer on my way home from dialysis (4:30am) a few saturdays ago. (deer and grammalady survived, car not so much.) i'm going to spare you the details of the 2 other expensive disasters, the bottom line being there really isn't any way we're going to make vegas this year. (and i was so looking forward to meeting wenchie) i'm not giving up on the idea completely though, miracles do happen, i'm not counting us out completely until oct 9th arrives and i still don't have flight reservations, but i'm not holding my breath. i do expect lots and lots of pictures.
-
Wow GML - I haven't seen you online lately- sorry to hear of the deer incident and the other set-backs as well. I hope something works out for Vegas!
-
I would go, But I would have to take my wife and she has a gambling problem. I'm sure she would have a good time, But I wouldn't.

Just bumping up this thread!

I won't be going to Vegas since I got a PM from DCrawford today telling me that "I" am the reason he isn't going. Beats the living hell out of me as to why....I have talked to this person less than a handful of times and obviously he feels I have personally attacked him. I find this remarkably funny, since I don't know him or anything about him.
Have a great time....enjoy the slots. Let's see....I think I may be the third or fourth person who has to walk away from this site to avoid being attacked in PMs.
-
??
This is sad and pathetic at best.
I am sorry to read this Wenchie.
It appears so bitter and negative as well as futile.
Your just to alive and full of life maybe? :cuddle;
Ill meet you in the Jesey Vegas anytime.
-
Since wenchhie blocked my PM I am required to post here. I want to keep this issue private.
am not just a single type of person. There are many aspect to me. The one I want to address now is that I AM NOT the kind of person to publicize my personal opinions but rather to state them in Private Message -- which I did to you.
And am AM NOT bypassing the trip to Vegas because I'm afraid of you (which seems to be your thing as the "bad" girl who is, in the long run, perfect. I am skipping Vegas because I want to avoid confrontation. That is the kind of person I am too.
I am an opinionated person (whoops). Shirley McClaine believes in reincarnation. When asked how she knows she was reincarnated she said I don't Know. I believe! Reincarnation is a little wild for me but I accept her explanation. If there are any others who want to say "I don't know" then I'll glad engage in a civil conversation about it.
Since the chat session that you conveniently forget, I have avoided you or responding to your posts. Can you please do the same for me? It will be greatly appreciated./

Wenchlie attacked me in a "believe in god thread"
Also a few weeks ago in chat.... siince then I've avoiided her leaviing chat when she enter, not responding to her posts, etc. Pairs was asking me about Vegas. I wanted to avoid Vegas. I want to handle this priivate with
Wenchie..... Just as I did with Lucinda... (when I said please stop posting negative things about me)
Paris, Zach, Twirl.. I'm sorry. I tried.
Wenchie PM to me... the kind of person I am.\First off....I have NO idea what you are talking about in chat. There were several other people in chat and I said nothing off hand to you. If you choose not to go to Vegas that's your choice. I haven't ever even voiced my opinion to you because you're so paranoid and thinking everyone is after you. Trust me, if I mean to say something to you or about you....YOU will know it. Quit riding roughshod on the site and threatening everyone in PM's. That just shows the type of person you are.\
-
While I would take any excuse to go to Vegas, and this trip counds like fun I will be somewhat indispossed. next year though it is going onto my calender!
-
Being indisposed with getting a transplant is, well, the best kind!
:clap; :clap; :clap;

Aww come on guys , i hate when people on here fall out , we are all in the same boat , different opinions or not (thats what makes a world) Maybe Vegas would be the perfect place to kiss and make up ? :2thumbsup;
-
Wenchie, please come to Vegas! I need you there. I need someone to kick up my heels with!
-
So for those folks who do not know about IHD's get togethers and are afraid of them, here is what happens....
We arrive in Vegas on our own.
We usually stay in the same hotel so if we want to hang together we can.
We usually meet and greet each other.
Last year we went to dinner on Friday night and had a huge rib dinner and gambled a bit. We talked and laughed.
Saturday we all did our own thing until we gathered together at the Olive Garden and had the offical IHD.com dinner. Speakers and prizes and talking and fun.
Most of us took off down Fremont Street to go get a fried Twinkie. We gambled and walked and talked and saw the lights and sights!
Sunday we pretty much do our own thing. Talk, laughed, had breakfast andthen said good byes to good, new/old friends!
It is a lot of fun!
Please think about coming. The Sahara is a beautiful casino/hotel. It is one of the older hotels on the strip, so a lot history is there.
The room rate is reasonable for the group at 66 dollars for a weekend night on the strip in Vegas.
I look forward to seeing everyone who is coming!
-
we are looking at prices of flights, :pray; they come down in price as I :oops; we really need to be away that weekend..........
-
Again I cannot make it this year - daughter getting married and all. I am so hoping to be there next year. My son lives in Vegas now and it would be a great ".... two birds with one stone"......
Once again IHD family - I am sure a good time will be had by all.
:clap;
-
Now is the time to say "I can't go" before too many reservations are set. Although Kitkatz and I love each other, we were hoping to have more than just the two of us! So, let's try to get a definate count. Anyone else comng?
-
After reading what goes on , i soooooooo wish i wasnt so far away !!
-
Please put "maybe" next to my name... I've had some family issues crop up and I may have to stick around in case of emergency here... I'll have to wait until closer to the date to make a decision. Sorry!

Check out my avatar, that's what happened on the way to the fried twinkies.

Fried twinkies you ask? Who would have thought something sounding so bad would be so GOOD! Yes!
And then there was the Laker preseason game at UNLV - $20 tickets, good seats and excellent company - aharris2 and okarol.
And then it was time to leave, but first dialysis for me and breakfast for aharris2 and okarol. I'm at dialysis and they're eating homemade pumpkin bread and 5-egg omelets! :'(
(That Friday night rib dinner - finger licking good right up to my elbows :beer1; and nice slots!)
-
Plus there is alot more to do in Vegas..... like Valley of fire, Red Rock canyon, Mt. charleston, Bonnies hot springs, North shores of lake mead ( if your into cliff diving), Rogers hot springs, climbing Sunrise Mountian...( might be too hot right now for that.... forget that)...
Well those are just a few of the off the beaten path......
Yes I use to live there... went to high school in Henderson Nv.... we use to hitch hike out to the lake sometimes when we would skip school.....
Vegas is fun no matter what you like to do.....
-
...but not too hot in October. The weather was fantastic, even needed a jacket at night.
-
Sorry, but at this point, it looks like we are not going. Too many other things are breaking down, requiring our wallets. But, since one never knows what could happen, will you post where the dinner will be on Sat., and maybe we can make the drive up . We can always pick up a room at Stateline if we have to. I am bummed. Take lots of pics, willya guys?
-
I think I'm going to pass this year :'( :'( :'( :'( - but I'm not happy about it! I have to get my little kidney back in order. This drain bag will be in for another three weeks and then I'm supposed to get my stent back in. At least then I'll have more mobility. I'm terrified of ripping this thing out!
We are also moving throughout Sept and we are in need of some money in that department because we are building a deck and having to get some new furniture and all (bought a new bedroom set today - my first full, matching bedroom set in my entire life, btw! :yahoo;)
I AM, however, going to start working on a San Antonio Meeting! I think the Spring will be perfect!!! Does March 2010 sound good to all who would like to come to San Antonio? March or April.
Kitkatz, I'll go back to older threads to remind myself what's been talked about and decided on then I'm going to start calling around to hotels and such. It would be awesome if we could get a weekend double pass to Six Flag Fiesta Texas and Sea World. Total blast! Send me a PM if you need to!!!!!!!!
-
Hey, why don't you plan a meeting in Newfoundland and everybody come to see the beautiful scenery!! LOL!! Wish I could come and meet some people but it is a "little" too far. I have never been on an airplane before and have no desire to get on one!! If we could drive there in a few hours we would be there!! Hope you all have a great time!!

I am so sorry I've been out of the loop for so long. I will check my calendar tomorrow and see if I can make it. I just got back from Vegas on Sunday and wouldn't mind going again when it's not so hot!! Take care guys!

Please take me off the list. =( sadly!
My nephew has just started the evaluation for a cord blood transplant and if everything goes well, he will be admitted on the 28th of sept. for 7-10 days of chemo and then the transplant. He will be in the hospital for at least 6 weeks and then he'll have to live near the hospital for up to a year. I am not planning any trips right now just in case I have to get to the hospital quickly.
I hope I can make next years or a Texas meeting!
-
I am sorry you cannot come. I will miss seeing you.
-
Wow, I wish I could be there. We did Vagas about three years ago before the on set of all this crap. What a fantastic city.,We only had two nights but it was not enough. I felt like a naughty kid, every thing was so, I don't know how to discribe this city to any one, there are no words for it. You have to be there. Hope you guys enjoy your selves, forget about your ills and have a really good time.
-
Here is hoping that you all have an exciting and renewable time relatively free of "kidney" talk -- and yes, I do mean "all" of you. And good luck in the casinos!
