Are You Ready To Party?

I know everybody is frantic right here at Christmas and all, but nevertheless I have some big stuff to celebrate.

First off, This Dude will come to the age of majority on Saturday. Seems like only yesterday that he was only a blip on a sonagram, but there ya have it...

Then, on Sunday, this lady will maybe be 29 or so, and as an added bonus I will celebrate my second year as a member of this here website.

What ya think? Cause for celebration? I say we do it.

terremom Vip-micro on Nov 30, 2007

I love parties at the IB. I never do well around crowds, so I don't attend regular parties. But IB parties are special. Wishing well to wonderful people such as these two and mixing with the great folks here online, yet amazingly...no panic attacks, no anxiety at all. Everyone looks fab. And the food is suburb. BTW anti, great decorations, too!

JBVisions on Nov 30, 2007

I'm only coming if there are smoked salmon sandwiches. I have a taste for them at the moment.

ZsaZsa on Nov 30, 2007

austingirl on Dec 01, 2007

@debbye - my hubby had it...not fun, but after 3 years he is finally able to get around very well. Now if we could just get his other health issues under control...
Will keep the Dog in our prayers.

debbye on Dec 01, 2007

Sober? What a concept.

Somebody get this boy a libation.

anti on Dec 03, 2007

Kinda like the Disco Duck, but not quite. :)

austingirl on Dec 03, 2007

Is this party still rockin' or what!

terremom Vip-micro on Dec 04, 2007

The party's still going strong. I can't believe that we've got sooo many IBers that can really dance and still manage to get to their keyboards! Who says youth is wasted on the young? We've ALL got it. And I was saving this for a more sedate time, but what the hey: I'm flying solo. My group home is run by meAnd only me. I am now my own boss and report directly to the MedWaiver people at the State level. No more middleman bosses to push me around. Now only the state and federal bureauracy can push me around! A dream come true. terremom, inc. is now officially in business. The celebration must continue...

LoopyMind on Dec 04, 2007

wait a minute... how does one "come to the age of majority" ... ;) Happy B-day and good to see you've come to the age of maturity :)

predrag on Dec 04, 2007

Celebrate!

rc Vip-micro on Dec 04, 2007

As I said before ... lets party until the end of 2007 and celebrate 2008.

I can bring 10 Cheese Cake.

debbye on Dec 04, 2007

i is so embarassed! i wandered into the wrong room! … duh.

*asks the question: What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?*

anti on Dec 04, 2007

@loopyMind it means if you rob a bank you will be tried as an adult. Maturity? He has never been exposed to that.

@terremom Way to Go! Congratulations indeed.

@debbye How could you question it?

Denise on Dec 05, 2007

A belated Congratulations to all!

InternetONE on Dec 05, 2007

@ Debbye: If you were a VA Tech Hokie Fan you wouldn't even need to ask! ;-)

debbye on Dec 05, 2007

oooooooooooooooops, my bad :-)

glad to see the party is still goin' on. I need a nap, but i'll be back later, these week-month-long parties are taking their toll.

Reiji on Dec 05, 2007

@LoopyMind: You can be an adult...but not necessarily be mature...look at elnitido. ^^'

lobotomia on Dec 05, 2007

@elnitido: Lobster is my sign ;). Maybe a little of salmon too and more caipirinhas.

anti on Dec 05, 2007

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
