We had a blast at Jason's, but decided to have it at a, um, more "adult" restaurant next time (we'll alternate).

Jack Astors Grill & Bar (635 at Macarthur, north of 161 -- next door to Jason's)

7701 N Macarthur Blvd

Dallas, TX 75240

972-373-0100

lunch -- say 1:30 pm. That way we catch those that work nights & such. If that time doesn't work, speak up! I just plucked it out of the blue.

Vote for a date!

Thanks!

Janet

Here's a pic from the March get-together at Jason's.

Me and the ladies!!!!!

I like it!!!!

Ok, looks like ya'll had a blast! I will make every attempt to be at the next one! Jack Aster's and time is fine for me, just need the day!

What fun ~ You ALL look GREAT!!!

Sure wish I was there.

BTW - Who's gonna do the new avators for all of you? LBT NEEDS avators - especially updated ones!

yoohooo, JanetC?????

Wow... You bandsters Rock!!!! and you look great! Wish I lived near you : - (

LOL, why not, Paula!

50x50 is SMALL!! I won't be offended if you don't use these for avatars, lol. And it'll take 2 posts, they only let you upload 5 attachments at a time! :biggrin1:

And the 2nd half.

How cool! I'm so glad ya'll posted a pic! You all look wonderful and happy in the good ole Texas sunshine.

Oh I just keep staring at how pretty each of you are and so wonderful to know on this board. Mikey, you are one handsome feller and lucky, too! That's quite a "harem", huh? LOL

Thanks for the pic. I LOVE it!

How about tomorrow?

I voted for every day except Easter Saturday because I'll be home in Houston. Going to a Methodist law school is good for something - I've never had Good Friday off before!

Thank you Janet for getting us organized enough to meet. It was great to get a chance to meet everyone in person and I hope we'll continue to get together. It's so nice to have a group of people that can relate to all the little tics and idiosyncracies common to us all. I voted for April 22 but for no specific reason other than it's about a month away so whenever people want to get together I'll be there.

Mike and I (my Mikey! lol) are looking into getting Dance Dance Revolution on your recommendation - sadly it's going to be a bit pricey and I've spent more than my share of the family funds here recently if you know what I mean! lol. Mike wants to get it because he knows the exercise will be good but I'm feeling guilty about all the money. I say that but then I can't see buying the less expensive dance pad only to have to replace it shortly but we may go that route because the more expensive one is about twice the price! Yikes. Oh well, we'll keep looking.

Thanks for the avatar Janet. I think I'm going to stick to my Selma Simpson cartoon avatar for now. I don't think anyone noticed but I was having a near panic attack with the whole photo thing. I am definitely phobic about it. Hopefully as I lose weight I'll lose my anxiety about pictures. I never had a problem with pictures before but now I start sweating and getting fidgity the second a camera shows up. I didn't realize how crazy the weight was actually making me. (Little voice in my head just said: "What makes you think it's the weight making you crazy? Maybe you're just crazy!" )

P.S. I can already see myself becoming obsessed with FitDay. I spent a couple of hours (or 3) playing with the online version yesterday. Yep, I'll be buying it. Thanks Janet.

LOL, yeah, I'm obsessing over it at the moment... customizing my exercise & my foods, tweaking here & there, lol, resetting my goals, it's a sickness!!

You hid your fear really well, though I did notice you jump to the back row quickly, lol. But you're tall, so you got away with it! Mikey thanked me for covering him up, lol. Guess I know my role!

Good luck with the DDR, we love it! We'll have to have a dance-off... someday, lol. There's a new version out there that let's you go online & dance against folks... or put in your own songs. It sounds cool to me, but it's going to have to be a reward for a goal met. Maybe when we get to an hour of DDR a day, lol!

I'm really glad ya'll came... it makes the board seem more like family, ya know?

Can't wait 'til next month!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I dunno if I can make it or not. April is not a good month for me this time around because of Hubby going to India and my MIL's wedding.

I will try to make it, sorry I can't commit.

Heh, no worries, Carrie! We'll take ya as soon as you can come!

The more the merrier!!

And... (sigh) if more guys have to come (pout), I guess I can cope with that (sigh again)... If they have to (sulk)

But if they don't, that's fine too!

I just wanted to say that all of you look great. I am in the Houston area, and I think a road trip is in order.
