Hey there, still up here... think sleep is highly over-rated...:)... oh well...

Lisa,

Sorry we didn't catch up at Electric Cowboy. I had sent you my contact info, i.e. phone numbers, but I'm sure you have been as busy as I have been. Summer months are here and there are so many more things going on. Went to two events last weekend, the group went to Nakato's for dinner... we had about 18 there, 5 girls and 13 guys...:)... Oh well, a little off there, then the group went to Key Largo... I made dinner at Nakato's but not Key Largo. Then Saturday we all went to a Parrot Head party, it was in a barn, had a bonfire, and a live band, Vince Vaughn. Was fun. Next weekend, Friday is Trolley's at 8 and Saturday is the Cinco de Mayo party at Key Largo... I have the grandkids for the weekend, might make Trolleys but won't be there for Key Largo. Another group is meeting at Bailey's at 6 on friday then doing the Art Walk downtown. Then Artsfest is next weekend also. Just too many choices, but at least there is a choice. I could just sit at home... :).... not! Have fun and I hope you get to go to some of them.

Cartoons was great! M-Dock did a wonderful job, as they always do and even though the party moved indoors, everyone had a really good time.

Lisa, Electric Cowboy is where we are all heading next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it, already! Let me know if you are going!

Sweetie, I'm so sorry. Cancer is something that touches so many lives. I lost my grandfather to it many years ago, prostrate cancer that went to his bones. My sister and mom both died in 1999. Lisa had fought it, breast cancer, for several years... when it finally manifested itself in her lungs. Mom didn't even know she had it until it was too late, lung cancer for her. Nothing anyone can say will make it better, just know that we are praying for you. Something that has helped me, to get involved... the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society... Light the Night and Team in Training for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society... there are many charities out there directly linked to cancer and cancer research. It helps you to know you are doing something to help others. That may not be your thing... and that is fine. We are all different. It did help me, to think I was doing something, anything, to help others in the same circumstances.

Just take care, spend as much time as you can with your grandma. She knows you love her and care. Cherish the moments.

It just might be... but all is good. Good afternoon from Missouri!

Hey there, have another get together happening on April 11th. Here is what was sent to me.

"Host: Club Springfield
Location: Cartoon's Oyster Bar and Grill
1614 S Glenstone Ave, Springfield, MO 65804 US
When: Friday, April 11, 7:30PM
MDock is playing @ Cartoon's on Fri. Apr 11 @ 9 PM. As we all know Cartoon's dance floor is very small and we know MDock is definitely a band to dance to so I had an idea. I spoke with the manager to see if we could have the patio area to ourselves. This would allow us to arrange the tables creating more dance floor space:) I got the "ok" as long as we get at least 45 ppl for the covered portion and 75 for the full patio. However we all have to arrive by 7:30 PM to hold the space.

Cover is only $7."

MDock is a great band, a lot of fun. Just passing the word if anyone is interested. ClubSpringfield has other things on their Myspace page, something just about every weekend.

Lisa, I think Electric Cowboy is the next weekend. I'm going to try to get out there for that one. Will definately be at Cartoons for the 11th, though!

Ernie Biggs was good, kind of a hectic, loud place. I had fun and we had a good sized group but it was too loud a place to really talk at all. I guess I'm getting old... Ok, I know I'm getting old. It was fun, though. I had to work immediately after, so I didn't get to stay as long as I would have wanted. Don't know what the plans are for next weekend, I have the grandbabies all next week so it won't be something I can do. Lisa, I hope you had fun at Electric Cowboy again. Can't wait till I can come check it out.

Hey there, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter! I hope the weather is pretty, hate hunting Easter eggs in the cold.

Lisa,

Sounds like it was fun. I haven't been to the Electric Cowboy yet, I have heard a lot about it. I work evenings, drive by there and they always seem to have a good crowd. Will have to try it out, don't know about the electric bull, though! :)

Key Largo was great this weekend, large crowds, lots of fun, good music, laughter, dancing. We all had a good time. They are going to Ernie Biggs next Friday. I think I'm going to try that out, another place I have never been.

One thing I like about these things, they are all group things. No pressure, just go out and have fun. Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time at Electric Cowboy. :)

Good morning!

When you log in, hit the search button, then mutual match. Then you will be asked if you are interested in meeting these people, one by one. They have obviously said they were interested in meeting you, so they will show up there. Then you can email them or they can email you. This is just one of the search options on here. At least that is my understanding of it. Hope this helps...

Found a few get togethers that are going on next weekend. Didn't know if they would be of any interest to anyone, but I went to one on Friday night and had a blast. We all met at Milles, had dinner, then went to the Mud Lounge for dessert, then to the Skinny Improv. It was a lot of fun and met a lot of really nice people. There is a myspace page, www.myspace.com/clubspringfield, that tells more about some of the upcoming events. Other things, two St. Patty's Day dances, one Friday and one Saturday at the new Key Largo. Both start around 7:30. It seems like there are more and more things to do out there. Just a matter of knowing about them.

Song, congratulations!!! This is just one of many firsts! Hold on tight and cherish the moments for they grow up fast.

Sequiota Park is nice... and they facilities that are right there. It would just have to be really nice weather though.

I'm thinking of a nice tropical place. It is just too cold outside!!!

Sorry, don't get on this much. I live about 15 minutes from Branson. :)

Right now, best bad guy.... John McCain. :)

Hey there! Just wanted to say "Hi" from Southwest Missouri. :)

I think you were right with #8, that is Mark Martin now. :) If he is even running, hate that he is "semi-retired".
A girl can always dream.
