Capt_Uhura Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Luckymama, Thank you so much for arranging the dinner for everyone at the RFWP Valley Forge convention. It definitely helped to take the stress off the evening after we learned of Dr. K.'s auto accident. ALso, thank you for picking folks up and bringing them to the airport. It was so wonderful to meet you and I wish I lived closer to my WTM peeps! I feel like we were instant friends! Again, thank you for helping make the conference a success!

Capt Uhura :iagree: Luckymama is the bomb diggity. :D (You all realize that the "bomb diggity" phrase has pretty much instantly become part of the Hive lexicon after this weekend, right? lol!)

Gailmegan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Coming in late to the conference, I had no idea about Dr. K's accident. Obviously, he is okay. But what happened? :confused: "Bomb diggity", huh? I guess I missed that part too. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 "Bomb diggity", huh? I guess I missed that part too. :tongue_smilie: I missed that one too.... Lots and lots of nice people all around. But definitely thank you for the restaurant. It was a great opportunity to meet other WTMers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 On the way to the conference, Dr. K and his wife were side-swiped by an 18-wheeler. It totaled the rental vehicle. The truck didn't stop so they had to chase him down. He finally stopped. Then they had to wait for the cops, and then it took 2hrs for the rental company to come w/ another vehicle. There was glass everywhere, in their hair, stuck on their skin. They had to leave HALF of what they had for the conference (schedules, credit card machine, books) in the van since the rental company only had an SUV. So instead of registration at 4-5pm, it was from 9-10pm. But everyone was very understanding and very relaxed about it all and were mostly worried about Dr. K. and his wife. Yes "bomb diggity!"

Gailmegan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Now I understand what he meant when he said, "We had to leave the credit card machine behind." :eek: I'm so thankful they are okay. Such wonderful people. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Uhura Even though we weren't signed up for meals, I'll thank Luckymama also! I loved meeting her (and all of the rest of you). So here's something weird. When Tom left at the end of the conference, I called out, "No more accidents, ok?" And then that night we left and... were rear-ended on I-95 by a truck. Everyone is fine, the car barely has any damage, but it was weird after saying that to Tom. When the cops came, they shined a flashlight over my bumper and said everything looked ok. They asked if I saw anything different. They were shining the light on my bumper stickers, so I said, "Oh look! I'm still a Democrat!" :001_smile: (Hope that isn't considered too political for the board!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes "bomb diggity!" I had heard about the car accident, just not this particular quote. I don't even know what it's supposed to mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvasMom Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I had heard about the car accident, just not this particular quote. I don't even know what it's supposed to mean! Whenever MCT was talking about something he was very enthusiastic about, he would say "it is the bomb diggity." He said this about grammar, about poetry, about literature, etc. He apparently likes this term a lot. It was just funny. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAutumnOak Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, thank you so much Karen...I enjoyed dinner on Thursday night and had fun the entire weekend...

Jennifer, I am so glad to hear you and the kids are okay...I am sorry you got hit, but happy to hear you guys are fine... We must do this again next year...Everything but the accidents that is :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmosis Mom Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Karen, you're a riot! I can't even vote, darn it. Another year left before I am eligible for Citizenship (after 14 years in the country). Ahhhh, the option to vote and democratically be a part of the process. Can't wait! There are things we take for granted here in life, right...

Oh I mean even for the same office. :lol: All the candidates have some views I agree with and others I think are positively stupid. I think the only answer is running for president myself. But I wouldn't want to take any lip from anyone so I'd have to move somewhere that will let me just be the evil dictator I was meant to be. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmosis Mom Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well, I look forward to going another time when I'll not have a baby and will feel free to actually talk and chat at free will (and eat even!!!). Love the baby, but she gotta go at conference-time....:lol: Dawn, you are fine company. I also felt a bit out of it at times (see above) plus being an introvert. It's all good. Baby-steps of socializing. I enjoyed chatting a bit with you and with some others in the odd moments here and there, but talking "shop" felt a bit overwhelming amidst all the input and stimuli there!
