I hope you do this party again next year for Memorial day weekend. Finally, Tom & I will be there to join in the fun. After 5 years of waiting were down to 4 1/2 months.

I tried to plan this party, as to not conflict with other events, around TV.

It's getting more difficult as we are starting to have more parties. Isn't life great!!!

Let me know when you guys are here, for good!!!!

Since I can't find my original post for this party, I m posting it again in the hopes I can get a head count, of who will be here!!!

It's BYOB, and a snack to share, type party. Hopefully, I will get my act together, and buy a USB port to play songs on my piano., Standards, we all know and love, that people can sing to.

This is not limited to "singles only", as I have invited several couples. Cut-off will be 40 people. I can seat 29, so it might be required to bring your own chair.

It's a BYOB and a dish to share.

I am hoping to get a collection of people from TOTV, as well as some people I've met, from bouncing around TV. Some favorites, like Graciegirl and family, Bill and Sandy from Bill-n-Brillo, (king of the links), as well as the usual gang.

Take a break from your worries and decide to come!!!

If it is easier for people to respond via e-mail: e-mail me at www.joebeja@optonline.net. I will keep a running list of attendees.

First 40 gets in, so don't snooze, and lose!!!!!

Joe :smiley:

BTW - One year anniversay of being in TV was yesterday. I blinked, and it was gone. :smiley:

I don't have any plan of what needs to be brought. Something hot, (not spicy), to share would be nice.

Cheese and crackers would make a nice snack food.

Only three slots left!!!!

I need for some people to bring some folding chairs, as some may have to sit outside, on the patio.

I need a small card table if someone wants to volunteer that.

I was thinking of moving my car/golf cart out of the garage for more room.

Hope to see all the gang!!! :smiley:

Joe

05-19-2014, 06:04 PM

Just another thought.

It might ease the parking situation if people try to car pool, to my party.

Another option is to stop at the postal station and park there. Cram into cars and go the next block or so.

40 people and six car spots, might be a little tight. :D

Sorry no shuttle service is available, unless someone vounteers. Hint, Hint!!!!!

I will be throwing a party at my house, on Saturday, May 24, 2014, starting at 6 PM.

It is the start onf memorial day weekend,, (Monday), with the holiday celebrated on the 26th.

Mark Your calendars!!!!

This party will have couples invited, as everyone should mingle, and get to know one another. :smiley:

As usual, BYOB and a snack to be shared, by everyone. Let's keep it festive, and lighthearted.

Round up the usual suspects to have a good time!!!!

Hope you all have a great time. Sport would have been 12 on May 24. Born in 2002. Or, at least, that was the guess of the Sumter County Humane Society.

We had to put him to sleep on April 7, 2014 as his heart was failing at a rate of once every 12 hours. He did not probably have another good day in him as any activity jeopardized his heart.

He sure did not want to get out of the car and go to the Vet that last time.

Anyway, what better way to honor Sport than to make sure I play quite a bit with Sport's son-in-spirit and attitude Beau.

They rescued Beau on 2-24-2014 from the Inverness Kill Shelter after he had been picked up in the Meadowcrest villages near Crystal River on 2/19/2014. Neutered the poor guy on 2/28/2014 and then I guess after recovery Max's Pet Connection had him.

Beau even has the same kind of synchronicity like numbers as Sport. http://youtu.be/2rZ55EZTExg

I will celebrate Beau too on May 24, 2014!

All filled-up!!!! unless some people don't show..............

OH No, Mr Bill....................crunch........

Again, hope you guys have a great time. I just wish I have not been seeing so much synchronicity in the universe of late. Sure glad the Bones character played by David Boreanaz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Boreanaz made it through all those complicated conspiracies alive Monday night. And, then there was even more on 24. On FOX no less.

And all that was after I had to go down to Bushnell for Jury Duty as number 68 on May 19, 2014. Only about 35 people showed up. Then 4-5 of these got off for some kind of excuse. Half of these seemed to be Villagers. I will bet that if I started to talk about synchronicity around attorneys and a Circuit judge-- except for just alluding to it in some e-mails to the Court Clerk a few days before hand-- I would have found myself in a sticky situation while muttering 224 and 613 under my breath and needing a character like The Finder. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1943524/ Also Fox.

The defendant plead guilty to charges covering 16 weeks on the docket according to the Circuit Judge The Honorable Michelle T. Morley on May 19, 2014, so I never had to try to describe my own experiences with legal education, law librarianship, ObamaCare, victim/survivor advocacy ( February 25, 1976-2014), the FL mental health system, the Pinellas County FL Criminal Intelligence detectives of 2002-2004 (Crandell and Warner), etc. in twenty words or less (well maybe a few more than that but not that many) while also remaining calm, cool, and collected. This is all enough to make Justice Brandeis cry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis

We all did get to go home at about 11:00 AM, May 19, 2014. Where neighbors keep asking me if I have seen Draft Day. Where there is even more synchronicity. I have seen Draft Day and really enjoyed it. How did that one line go...?

If anyone has a blow up doll, please bring it and put a hat on it with a name tag that say's Cisco.
is in the house. That way people can hug me or slap me, BUT DO NOT SHAKE MY HAND.
It would also be cool if you would attach your smartphone to it so I could FaceTime the bash.

Speaking of blow up dolls.... Maybe, missing the party will give me a chance to watch Lars and the Real Girl. The Numbers News - Contest - Turning Iron into Gold - Winning Announcement (http://www.the-numbers.com/news/3393)

Probably not as it has been sitting in my room for six years or so. I mean Lars and the Real Girl and not a blow up doll. I saw Lars and Real Girl once and that was enough. It was interesting though.

If I had had a blow up doll, I am sure that one of my dogs (Sport and now Beau) would have punctured it by now. They liked pillows and would do that dog making bed pounding and turning they do.

(but adds to post count)

Taltarzac725

05-21-2014, 08:09 AM

(but adds to post count)

The party is on May 24, 2014 and you might have a Villager at this party who responded to Jury Duty on May 19, 2014 or has a friend who did. There were about fifteen Villagers there and with the Villages' gossip line being what it is I will bet a lot of people know about that groaning coffee pot.

If I had come to your party-- or got an invitation via PM-- I would have talked about my experiences in Bushnell on Monday May 19, 2014. The coffee pot that sounded like a groaning dog like Beau (rescued from kill shelter 2-24-2014 by Max's Pet Connection) or Sport (born 5-24-2002). And I would have talked about Draft Day and other movies and TV shows I have seen of late. This is often the talk of neighborhood parties in Lynnhaven-- your personal experiences over the past weeks.

Agree, doesn't seem relavent to your party.
(but adds to post count)

And, I do not just post on TOTV to try to bolster my post numbers.

Hijack!!!!

Double hijack!!!!

And I do not want to imply anything by your choice of date of 5-24-2014 that it has anything to do with my 224 613 survivors/victims of crimes campaign. That's just a co-incidence-- a synchronicity like Sport's birthday (5-24-2014) or the day that Beau was rescued by Max's Pet Connection (2-24-2014). I never received an invitation to the party so obviously there's no connection. Especially from the "Hijacking" complaint which makes that very obvious.

Who is jack

He needed a few Hi!s Too much booze maybe too early in the day? Chloe & Lulu to give him a few licks to wake up? I used to housesit and dogsit a Westie named Chuck aong with his mother Heather who would jump up in the bed I was in, stick his head under my side and try to roll me over. Chuck wanted his breakfast at 6:00 AM or so. I was housesitting/dogsitting for a retired LT. Commander from some US Naval ship who always got up around 5 AM. You never really needed a snooze alarm with Chuck.

I hope everyone has fun at 2BN's party.

05-22-2014, 12:40 PM

I need two 6 foot tables, and about 16 folding chairs, so everyone has a place to sit, while eating.

If you have one, please let me know as I will make arrangements to pick-up these items, beforhand.

I would like to request that people park at the postal station, as I have arranged for a shuttle service to take to my house. There no way my neighbors would appreciate having 20 to 25 cars around there houses.

Your anticipated co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

See you Saturday at 6 PM!!!

Party is all filled-up!!!!

Thanks to Joe for hosting a great TOTV party last night. Oh my, from the start we knew that this was a special evening when we parked at the mail station and were greeted by Larry, who graciously shuttled people to the party in his decorated car. You see, Joe is a fantastic host and thought of everything, from multiple seating areas, food and beverage stations, and welcoming each person at the door as they arrived at his beautiful home.
( Maybe you can hire him to plan your next party!)
With bountiful food assortments, joke telling, meeting new folks, sing a longs led by the multi talented Pam on keyboards.....everyone had a most enjoyable evening!

Larry's TOTV screen name is "enjoyingthevillages".

He probably won't see this and only frequents this site, when necessary.

It doesn't make him a bad person. :D

Nice pictures. I had not PM'd 2BNTV about coming because we had our neighborhood block party last night and two parties in two nights would have been a bit much for me. I have done in before last year but that was before we got the new pooch and we were not sure how he would be when left alone or minus one for a number of hours.
