So, the sweeps convention paperwork says that you have to participate on stage in order to win prizes if your name is called..... Is anyone else feeling like "they really don't want to have to do that"? I'm not really into getting up infront of crowds of people... I turn all red n stuff... :o(

For reals though girl.... I do get shy unless I'm tipsy... so i'll have to have my flask in my purse filled with patron to settle the nerves... tee hee
 
whooo hoooo.. 8 more days til' blast off..... man i can't wait... what's up with the rules for the convention saying no short shorts, mini skirts, halter tops, crude language on t-shirts, etc...

they must know me and the girls were comin' ahead of time... :laughing:

so being it's going to be in the 100's in the day and 90's in the night... wth are we going to pack? i have a buddy who lives out in texas.. she told me that what the temps are right now.. she's comin' to stay with us for the weekend in the hotel....
 
It is a standard event preventative measure. Write the rules before you need them is a standard business policy. Hope I get to go. Mortons is ok but I will stick to cheap food this trip. I rather have a doggy bag from a good mexican restaurant. I think Motel 6 has a pool but I do not swim so I will be in the bathtub or sightseeing in the car with the AC going.
 
:wave: Hey, All!

Wow Kate it looks like I need to bring soap for a free bath Texas style, lol.

The Alamo is open every day of the year except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our hours are 9:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. Monday through Saturday and 10:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. on Sunday. To better serve visitors, the Alamo will remain open on Fridays and Saturdays until 7 P.M. during the months of June, July and August.

Carriage rides through San Antonio.


This town sounds fun.

Hurricane Fay is a tropical depression in Mississippi and heading northwest.
Hurricane Gustave is heading for Cuba at 14 mph northwest which from Cuba means it could hit anywhere in Texas to Florida. I doubt he will head for Texas and seems to be slowly spinning toward Florida.

It is Wednesday 30% chance of rain going down to 20% on Saturday. Weather will be 90+ day time and 72+ evenings. Currently it is 95 with a heat index of 101 degrees and humidity of 41%. Good hot southern weather, lol.

I am still going and all reservations are set. I will have the car on the 27th and will allow ladies to get rides, cost is a smile, lol. I have room for one person at Motel 6 and one night at the Marriot. I may go to Lukenbach for the big friday night dance.
 
Hi all! :wave:

I got the extended weather forecast from my Yahoo! Weather (I have it "tuned" to Austin, San Antonio, and Weslaco, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Grandville, Michigan; Reno, Nevada; and Chicago, Illinois).

I just thought you'd like to know that it could be raining in San Antonio when you/we are out there.

In Texas, we welcome rain, at any time (except for hurricanes - well, maybe even those when they are Type 1 or 2; 3 or 4, like Hurricane Katrina or Rita, :cry: Katie bar the door).

My husband, Bob, and I will probably be at the convention early on Friday morning, and drive back Friday night - the same thing Saturday and Sunday. We went to Michigan to visit relatives the first part of August and to Las Vegas to say "goodbye" to Star Trek: The Experience (it closes Sept. 1 :cry:) about mid-month, so our "hotel" funds are getting very, very, low :crazytongue:

But, we will be at the convention, never fear!

22 hours from now I will be leaving LAX.

http://www.mitierracafe.com/
24 hour dining just west of the convention.

I would rather share a room at the convention Marriott but will bunk down in the Motel 6. Money will be so tight as mom needed $150 groceries to make her happy and $100 to have friends buy food. I wonder why nobody needs a room, or maybe it is me.

Not ready and so much to do and not energy and time. Not ready and doubt I will have fun. Can I stay home, please. Do not want to face Momo at convention and have another seen like with BAR. I keep thinking about the food and still really just rather stay home and get yelled at and rock and cry and play with my games. I have a bad feeling about this trip.
 
All Sweepstakes Advantage members attending the convention GOOD LUCK
have a wonderful time and win lots and lots ..


Also dont forget to give us all the details and pictures if possible !!!

ENJOY

Ummm, churchy... then why in Gods name areyou going? You're not locked into anything. you can cancel at anytime and just except the loss on your plane ticket, room, convention entry fee, etc. I'm just saying because you sound so overwhelmed about going... This is supposed to be fun not a burden girl..
 
i posted and it ate my message argh

i have brain quarks which makes me want to not go. I shut down with stress but not to fear I will have fun you see. My brain is scrambled at birth but thankfully not my legs, eyes or ears except when mom wants me to snap to attention, lol.

I will be there, promis.
 
I saw where Momo offered to let you room with her, Churchy. Is she just playing games? :scratch:

I think this is why you need to go, Churchy!! No offense but to hell with that sh$%! You need to go have some fun and forget about moms! If you can afford to go, go!! Let your mom know how lucky she is to have you around to take care of her miserable, sorry self!

And quit rocking and crying! You get a check, right? Take it and get your own place. Let the state take care of mom!
 
I haev a lot of autistic quirks and rocking is one of them but only if things are so bad with stress or exhaustion. I am very tired physically and mentally. I have to empty the commode, do the dishes, a load of laundry, get a clean blankie from the garage, 2 loads of clothes to dry, packing, sleeping, get an airport shuttle, clean my room, turn off the computer, do tomorrow's internet rounds in by 2 am instead of noon.

I have a lady to call her earlier in the day and visit in the evenings.

I was on another computer and checked the other site. Momo is going to the convention. I can only say that this is at least the third time she has hurt people at this site. People who have kids with disabilities can read in me a lot of my quirks and she abused them. She will probably show up here to say her son died in the war or that I lied. I ahve the emails at this site to prove my story and posted them at another site. Admin here know about this problem. I have not mentioned it as I love Ken like a neighbor or brother and he has been so good to me. Nicest dude around and that is why I am not here talking about her.

Nap time and hugs.

Yeah. That's why I asked. I thought momo was being serious. I don't know her and have never spoken with her so I didn't know. I've seen her get crapped on over there so I thought she was trying to help Churchy.

Don't sweat momo, Churchy! Don't let anyone keep you from going and having a good time! I don't think Champ will let momo talk trash to ya. Especially if she's crunk and feeling brave :laughing: Hold your head high and forget about the BS!
 
Let's move on from the Momo talk. I think this is probably a good place to remind everyone that this is the internet. You can't take people on face value. All we are dealing with are a bunch of anonymous people. You can be anyone you want to be on the internet. You can be mean and cruel and get away with it. You can be a lying snake and get away with it.

When someone like Momo comes along, at first, people get excited because she seems to be great. But, once you see what it going on, you see the truth. That is why scammers have such success on the internet. They pray on the hopes, fears, good conscience and/or pure gullibility of the people they prey on.

Honestly, at first, I too was gullible. I have learned. I now read every post with skepticism. Hopefully I am wrong, but, honestly, I am not letting anyone laugh at me from the other side of the screen.

We are aware of the Momo situation. We will handle it in the best way for SA. For all of you, put your experiences with Momo in the part of your brain that doesn't forget and have a good laugh at her if she comes back. By your continued comments directed to her, you are doing exactly what she had hoped. Look up the definition of internet troll. By continuing the discussion about her, you are giving her the power she desires. It is never worth it. If she comes back, leave her threads and comments alone. She'll get the hint.

Those of you going to the convention, have a great trip. Be safe and have fun.
 
See you done woke up the dead, lol. WElcome back and hugs. I rather talk about how lucky I am to have a seat with the infamous Champagne. Which is better tacos or ribs? So many places to eat at.

9 hours and still no ride to the airport. Sigh.
Time to make some calls, need sleep.
