Cool, Nan. I'll think of something!

What do you mean, "The Rest of Spring"? Let me know, but meanwhile I return to "The Best of Spring" :-)) Colin, coooommmmmmiiiiiinng!

The other conferences... Afternoon, ladies!

I put some procative posts in the Internet conference today in a new topic. Something called Cyberwar: The Information Revolution and Warfare. It turns out, for the last half century, the US has been intercepting and decrypting the top secret documents of most of the world's governments. It's topic 22.

And I've been doing a redesign of the food and restaurant conferences, although I must admit that they aren't up to your all's standards, yet...

(Renate) Colin, coooommmmmmiiiiiinng! LOL! ;-.D (wer) And I've been doing a redesign of the food and restaurant conferences, although I must admit that they aren't up to your all's standards, yet... I saw it, wer...looks good. All it's missing is a couple of photos of prety men ;-) Let's see, edible restaurateurs...hmmm...David Bouley? Wolfgang Puck? Dave Thomas? (hee hee)...Nyah, none of these are really my type. Hey, wait a minute...does Paul Newman count? Ya know...sauce, salad dressing, popcorn? ;-)

Ahem. Kevin owns a restaurant or two. :)

(Charlotte) Ahem. Kevin owns a restaurant or two. :) Does he? Where?

How about Nick Stellini(sp?) or Emeril Lagasse? Or Adam from Northern Exposure? I'll add a Best Food to Drool With topic and a Best Restaurant to Lust In topic, in the appropo conferences, too, I think...just in case any of ya'll stop by...

Nan, I don't know their names. I don't wanna. I'd be too tempted to go there. :) I think there is one in Pasadena, and then of course there is his resort in south (north?) dakota...the one with the casino. Not sure, but that one may be called the Dunbar Resort.

Charlotte, I believe you are correct about the restaurant in Pasadena. The casino is called The Midnight Star, in Deadwood, South Dakota. I think there is a website, have a look for it. As far as I know The Dunbar Resort is still a work in progress. KC has also become an equity owner of a new restaurant chain called The Clubhouse....Where You Belong. 35 locations planned domestically and internationally over the next five years. Reflecting a clubhouse atmosphere, the restaurant is to display golfing mementos from past and present. Flagship location opened December 1997 in Oakbrook, ILL. KC was there via video due to Postman premiere in LA

That's my girl Sheila! She always comes through for me! On the eBay web Auction site, I once saw a poker chip from the Midnight Star being auctioned. I shouldda bought it.

Haven't been to the Clubhouse, but a cousin of mine went to the grand opening of the Oakbrook one and was positively disgusted that Kevin wasn't there. I forget who else was a celebrity owner and was there, but the only thing that I do remember is that she was tripped by Robin Leach (Rich and Famous...). She said he was disgusting.

Ooh, I love this conference!

Why? What's so different?

Well, for one, you have more coherent lines of drifting...not to mention the words 'Robin Leach' and 'disgusting' in the same post... Actually, it's the emotions that come through because even if there is different topics, the intention of the posting is to release the same feelings, and that much focus can't help but be felt...

Damn. He's got us pegged, all right. :)

Some folks on the WELL are planning a panty raid on the Spring, I hear.

Guess I ought to buy me some new ones...

(wer) not to mention the words 'Robin Leach' and 'disgusting' in the same post... Yes, poor Robin would never be considered droolworthy, I�m afraid... (wer) that much focus can't help but be felt... Indeed, we are a single-minded group...best part about this conference ;-) So, where were we? Oh, yes...celebrity restaurateurs. If we�re going to get into celebrities who own restaurants, that would keep us busy for quite a while. I was trying to think of actual hands-on chefs...not many are famous enough for us all to know them. Makes drooling hard :-( And the ones who are famous, well...don�t really rock me. Though, I�ve always thought Dom DeLuise as quite adorable ;-p BTW, do you think he and Paul Prudhomme were separated at birth ;-) (Terry) Some folks on the WELL are planning a panty raid on the Spring, I hear. Ooh...now that sounds interesting! You�ll have to explain the �WELL� thing to me, though. I�m quite sheltered here in the �hot spring� and don�t get out much ;-)

They're planning a "raid" of some sort, posting funny things all over, they're another virtual community that's West Coast based in California.

wer will be first in line for that one!

posting funny things all over Then I doubt we shall notice them...we have more than enough funny things posted here already! Re: Celebrity chefs I guess my sister's buffriend won't count, huh? He's just half of that, although he's big on the jet ski competition circuit?

Good Saturday, ladies! For some off the wall reading, check out the GenX Storybook. Chapters 1 and 2 can be found, respectively, at http://www.spring.net/~spew/genxstory/chap1.html http://www.spring.net/~spew/genxstory/chap2.html and if you feel so inclined and/or inspired, drop into the genx conference and add to the madness (specifically topics 16, 17, and 19, but you're welcome anywhere!) http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/genx/all

Thanks for the heads-up, wer. I just read Chapter 2..."Vulnie Poomp" and "The French can be so touchy about those things!". LOL!

Thanks...what do you think of the "extra" pages?

The index page is up for the GenX Storybook...it's at http://www.spring.net/~spew/genxstory/indeX.html it's kinda graphic intesive, let me know what ya'll think...

intensive, actually, oops on the typo...*blush*

looks like you didn't need my help with the buttons after all...*wink* btw, I'm still in love with the background...

(wer) looks like you didn't need my help with the buttons after all...*wink* Kaylene answered my email before you had a chance to reply. I certainly couldn't have figured it out by myself ;-p btw, I'm still in love with the background... Thanks, dear :-) We've gotten mixed reviews, but I like it quite well. It's a refreshing change of pace from the old "chalk". Besides, all wet things belong at Drool ;-)

or, at least almost all of the "things at Drool" are wet...

I was going to say something real vulgar to that, but am (just!) able to restrain myself! I find the background great too - reminds me of a certain dream I once had.

were you vulgar in it? or do you often show restraint in bed?

Don't know if I was vulgar - people often think I'm vulgar when I think I'm not. But I was as the background afterwards....! I'm as wholesome in bed as I am here.

Geo is really worth looking into now that my wallpaper is back. None of my graphics are up, yet, but I am looking into it (that is about all I feel secure about doing right now!)

...pehaps I should have called it "Rocky" to entice some Droolians there just out of curiosity...hmmm...

ha ha! Am jealous. How did you get your background?

evelyn is v. confused .....we have gone from NO Spring at one time...to TWO Springs now!! I'm multi-tasking between Two Springs! Besides, I've missed something in the transition....how do we know that Ingrid is not in Londinium and Colin is not in a hot tub? Maybe in ended-up on the cutting room floor.. Quick somebody...retrieve it

Evelyn, we are here at www.spring.net Nothing from the old numeric Spring will be copied over here. The plug will be pulled shortly, so don't bother posting there. how do we know that Ingrid is not in Londinium and Colin is not in a hot tub? Because I was told that was not the case by you-know-who. Mr. Spelling-Challenged ;-)

Karen, do you still wonder at my wallpaper?! Probably not. I am with new directory, have ftp'd all the stuff off my old one and deleted the files. Now I wonder just how much I want to put back up! Mercy...you have much bigger problems than I do over in the Gem Market

Wow, we last just over a year at the old site, hopefully this new provider will be longer term. Their support has been excellent so far. I'm setting up folks with telnet and shell accounts, so far just a basic "core" group but others are welcome who want to telnet to spring.
