Saturday Sept 9th...We will holding our monthly meeting. :clap2:

We will meet @ Red Robin on Harris Blvd. It's very yummy!!! Same time 11:30. I know it's early but we are all so busy I wanted to make sure everyone had time to mark their calendar.

See you all then if not before!!!!

How about some newbies? Some oldies that haven't shown up in awhile how are ya'll all doing?

I'm not from NC but I LOVE Red Robin. The fried shrimp is fab....try it dipped in the ranch dressing. I have the onion straws in place of the fries. I have also had the nachos with chicken added and The chili chili cheese burger is yummy too. Hope you all have fun. ~Mandy

Unless something totally unexpected comes up, I'm there!

Yummmm, I love Red Robin and I've never been there banded! I used to order the Hickory BBQ burger, or something, with BBQ sauce and onion straws...OMGosh, makes my mouth water, LOL! Can't wait to go. Food is great, but the company is even better! Wish you could come, Mandy!

I wish I could be there too. When we moved into the new place, we discovered there is a Red Robin just a few miles away. Before we had to drive almost an hour to get to one. I eat the shrimp and my band is pretty tight. I get a hot tea and that helps to open me up a bit. It's not a regular place, but we eat there a few times a month. Hope you all have a blast~Mandy

I really wish I lived closer to you guys, too! I'm stranded up here in Asheville where the only doctor won't operate on me because I am above his arbitrarily chosen maximum weight Anyway, I will be meeting with Dr. B on Sept. 14. Gosh, I really wish I didn't have to wait so long! The support group here in Asheville is mostly bypass patients and I know people who don't like it very much, plus it meets at 6:00 am! :omg: Um, can we say not just not but h e double hockey sticks no! Anyway, I will probably be making the two hour trek to Concord many times after I get started with this whole thing! I hope to eventually meet you all because you seem like such a great group of people! :clap2:

Tonya can't wait to meet you too! Let us know when you are in Concord and we can set up a little something to meet up!

Hey Kim,

It's too soon for me committ, I should know more about what our lives look like once school starts. Don't for get I have 2 in school, daughter in Kindergarten and DH in 2nd grade, both at different schools.

I will let you know how things are going closer to the date. Sorry I missed the pool party but i'm in pretty chronic and painful back problems, getting through work is my goal right now, so I melt down on the weekends.

I'm sure you can understand. Good thing DH is done with his classes at queens, now we have so much paper work and tests for him to do between now and may.

I hope all is well with you.

Jennifer

Ok this is going to sound stupid...hear goes, I have seen "DH" in several post, can someone please tell me what that is. I'm sorry I feel soooo stupid but I had to ask.

Thanks

DH - Darling Husband, Dear Husband, something to that effect. You might also see DS or DD for Son or Daughter.

Hope it helps!!!!

I'll be there on the 9th! They have the BEST chili!

Thank you Kim...lol

Oh, DH could also be the "d-word cuss word" husband.

Depending on if he has done his chores

Well this could be a big meeting....we will have to take a head count closer to the day. I have talked to a few people here that might be coming so keep your fingers crossed that they really come. I would love for our group to just keep growing. We have so much fun!!!!
