Thank you all for your feedback on the pouches...and on the captions to the pictures.
I figured I would get some paybacks on the comments but the original captions had far
more impact than the comebacks....so you have more work to do.

And by the way, I love our doggies but detest pink logbooks, in spite of the generosity of the ones who put the pinko replacement in my letterbox. Trailtracker loves pink so save those to put in her boxes. I like macho colors or just plain white will work. ;o)

Outa here,
Glenn

I've found your pouches from Illinois to Maryland and they hold up well unless destroyed by a muggle.

When re-placed correctly with the opening downward, they will not hold water and there are no lids to place upside down.

I made one last year or even before that that incorporates a floral wire loop in the side tape that looks like a loop you see in the glass tree ornament.

I've seen them, but honestly the only guys I've seen wearing them are 10 year old boys.

I was soooooooo sorry to have to miss Saturday's event. I was thinking about you guys. JDFM has filled me in on stuff and hopefully I can learn it from her. Thanks, Safari Man for the pouch package. That's so thoughtful. Also, SM, I will be going to Charlotte on March 21st. So let me know where you plant those boxes!!

I saw a guy wearing one who also appeared to have something wrong with his wrist. It was
very limp. And I am not going to even mention what he had on since I swore off the subject.

I am glad to see that TT got a picture of Brenda of R Gang in the Photo Gallery albeit not a
great shot of her smiling face. But she deserves tons of recognition for all she does
behind the scenes. She also deserves recognition for that new figure she is acquiring. I complimented her on it and she said that all you have to do to eliminate the bulges is just eliminate the job, therefore the stress, and the eating craveing just dissapears. So there
you go folks. A new diet plan. Just quit your jobs!!!! Here Here. I did!!

Good thing I hadn't started drinking my Pepsi yet. That would have made a big mess to clean off the computer screen!


I just hope it's not too late to change the color of those pink t-shirts I ordered for your team for the OHmazing Race.

you know what's funny SM, when I was in high school I refused to wear/own anything pink...I felt like just because I was a girl I was suppose to just love pink...well I didn't.
Actually, I think I wanted to just rebel from what was expected of a girl...I wore black. :)
I wasn't goth by any means...my classmates would say I was their little mod girl. I went to a small school, class size of 61...wearing all black (except on game days when I had to wear my cheerleading uniform) was a little out of the ordinary for the small farm school.

And now? I like pink. I think it's a good color on me. Funny how things change. I guess I don't need to rebel against the conformists of society anymore. ;)

This thread does make me laugh!

Many of hte boys in my daughter's 5th grade class (yes, 10-11 year olds) have "the shirt". NOt seen it on any "men" but my very manly nephews do own a pink polo or two amongst them.

And WW--my daughter too has rebelled against pink--she is required to wear uniforms to school, but refuses pink clothing outside of it, pretty much for hte same reasons you mentioned. My little princess however lives for pink. One nonconformist, one princess (with a boy-o in the middle) I pretty much got it all covered!

I must need to rebel against the conformists!!!!! :0) I don't think there's any pink in my closet. And black is my favorite color to wear. I grew up here in central Ohio, small town living. Then moved to Ft. Wayne in high school. When I returned after cosmetology school, I interviewed here and got a job. Several years later the girls I worked with said I scared them with my manner of dress! Now, I'm definitely conservative in my views, but not in my clothing!! Of course, i have resorted to the jeans and a t-shirt at home with the kids. Boring mom clothes. But when the band has a chance to play somewhere, all bets are off!!!!!! One of the girls at church (very conservative dresser) says she could never wear my clothes as they're too wild for her!

Call me an idiot and slap me upside the head...this is NOT something I would have figured out on my own, sad to say. Makes perfect sense...I just wouldn't have figured it out. Thanks for the heads up...or down...? You might want to write that in your clues if you're using a pouch...I'm sure there are other idiots out there as well!:)

The pouches can be rolled up to fit the contents which make hiding easier.

Hey Glenn! When you decide if you are making the trip, give us a shout over on the North Carolina Board and we will roll out the red carpet for you. Maybe we could even arrange a mini-meet at a rest area on the Interstate! LOL!
