Well, you'll have to wait to '08 to meet me... I'm not going to be there :( I've got a family thing the following weekend, and the two airfares were just too much... plus taking off from work but now, I have the time to go, but no job, so I still can't swing the airfare... :p

[poconogal]

I am so disappointed that I can't go

Perhaps I'll see you there next year Connie. Isn't that the way it is - we either have the time, or we have the money, but never both? Sigh. Martha

Can you believe I've never been to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium yet? I'd love to go!

Tina

[Kenny's Discus]

Connie, we totally understand...we all have had obstacles at some point in our lives. There'll be better days ahead for you it's called the law of average.;) We promise we'll take lots of pics for you and Martha as if you were there.

That is so true Martha. Well, wonder where the '08 ACA will be?

[tpl*co]

Oh, in our last meeting (June) there was talk that we'll have shipping of fish available at the ACA! So get those quarantine tanks ready since we'll get those fish to you!

Tina

[White Worm]

I cant wait to meet Kenny! Lol! Pics, oh yes, there will be many pics. You had better get more server space Al. Wish you were gonna be here Connie. Yes Larry, I am in on the Monterey trip! I have been there but it was a very long time ago. I think it will be a great time with a bunch of discus NUTZ!

[Kindredspirit]

I am so disappointed that I can't go

[AmberC]

I like drinks with ice cream in them! there is this one at the cheescake factory.. the flying gorilla i think.. MMMmmmmm. :D

[White Worm]

Maybe we can setup webcam. Maybe they have wireless internet there and I can link my laptop and webcam from the aca to simply?

[tpl*co]

LOL, I hate to ask why it's called the "flying gorrilla" LOL

Tina

[poconogal]

Tina
Okay, Tina, then I'll ask...Amb, why is it called the flying gorilla?

Tina, I'm sure this is gonna be good... :D:D

[tpl*co]

Okay, Tina, then I'll ask...Amb, why is it called the flying gorilla?

Tina, I'm sure this is gonna be good... :D:D

LOL, just as long as it doesn't include a gorrilla suit and flying from the ceiling fan after you drink one :D:D

Tina

[poconogal]

Tina
Yeah, flying from the ceiling fan is fine, but NO gorilla suit :p

[tpl*co]

Found this:

Flying Gorilla Recipe

Ingredients: 0.5 oz Banana Liqueur
1.0 fill enough to make smooth Cream
0.5 oz Creme de Cacao
2.0 scoops vanilla Ice Cream
0.5 oz Vodka

Directions: Blend until smooth. Stopping too soon will give you a grainy drink. Add only enough ice to keep a thick frozen consistancy. Garnish with a banana slice.

[poconogal]

Ummm ummm ummmm that's sounds delicious! I'm going to try making some this summer! Thanks for posting that recipe, Tina

[AmberC]

Well Connie, when they bring your drink out.. there is this gorilla that carries it to you..

lol I dont know. I didn't name it!! I just like it :D

[Kindredspirit]

Marie, let's start now! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_13_1.gif

Well you must be drop dead drunk by now, Connie!.....


Let us begin....

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_7_3.gif

[AmberC]

I'll catch up when I get there lol

[Kindredspirit]

Oh what fun...:)

[tpl*co]

I think I should put my placard out

"Will chauffeur for fish"

LOL :D

Tina

[alxjss]

Wow, reading this is awesome. Makes me want to go:( I no its soon but i would really like to meet some of u finatics. Have never been around so many at one time. That would be coool!!! How do u get fish from the ACA? I was thinking of more. Might have to call cary. I want san merahs and white diamonds. Is that right, white diamonds. I am hooked so now i will get a clue on what i want. I love my little guys tho and will keep them!!! Just add more:)

[Kindredspirit]

Eileen! It is never too soon to meet other discus nuts! That would be great if you could come!:)

It may be too soon, however, to get more discus right now....maybe? I was like you....I see me in you at times....now that is scary! lol! Keep these and master them first IMO...Grow these guys up for a good six months then get more ~ if you want ~


Marie ~ :balloon:

[alxjss]

Sure, i plan to, but there is no way i could go to Cali this yr. Maybe next yr. I will save for it. U never no. As far as more fish go, i guess u r right:( They r giving me a run for my money. I really need more experience. Thats okay, I will put these new ones in mind and remember when i am ready for new ones. Thanks Marie. I hate logic:mad:lol

[Polar_Bear]

<GASP> It's STILL 42 days away? My does time ever drag when you want to go somewhere...

[Kindredspirit]

Lol! You are too funny! I do not know how many days it is now, Larry!....but are you two all ready?

[White Worm]

35 or so?

I guess it depends because it is Thur (19th) through Sunday (22nd) of July. I'm guessing the best time to go would be the first days before anything gets sold?

http://www.aca2007.com

[Kindredspirit]

I don't know Mike ~ I am not buying anything ~ I just want to meet everyone:).....taking five days off is quite enough on my budget:o Plus a few trips to the City is all I am going to be able to squeeze in ~

[Polar_Bear]

Lol! You are too funny! I do not know how many days it is now, Larry!....but are you two all ready?

Ingrid had me and the boys packed weeks ago... hmmmmmm; think she's trying to tell us something?

[Kindredspirit]

Like hurry up and get to Cali so you can meet Marie?.........that's it! So, where are you guys staying anyways?

[Polar_Bear]

We'll be staying with my parents in Pacifica. I'll borrow my Mom's car to drive to Sacramento. If we go to Monterrey we'll probably take the RV so we can bring lots of people with us. For me, I want to go to Cliff's house, and Kenny's house and warehouse mainly, so it's perfect for me. I'll probably only spend a day or two at the ACA itself.

[Kindredspirit]

Exactly.....if that ~ The ones that are coming out here don't want to spend the whole time looking at the insides of the Hilton.....

Of course...PARIS may be there....oops....no!.........she won't!


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_25.gif ( not anymore...)

[White Worm]

As we stop at Kennys, maybe a stop at Tonys? Sunrise Tropicals is 5 minutes from Kenny and he usually has a very good selection of discus to look at. I also would like to see Cliffs setup.
