Thanks Everyone!!!! Pete-Fest 2010 was great! Not only did I go off Weight Watchers for a few days, BUT, I still managed to lose weight. We went out for Sushi for my birthday dinner - VERY WW friendly. PeteFest 2010 also brought me a new set of dishes - heaven to me! And, it's not over yet...

Thanks everyone, it's our pleasure to donate back to the group. Every coral in our tank came from the NJRC, so how could we not give back? Look for us starting our new tank sometime in the Fall, though not before I get a new piano. ;D

I'm not on linkedin--yet. I'm going to do that later today (2/8/10). I have many former coworkers on there, who have told me to go on and link with them and they'll help me out. :0) I see the job market getting slowly better, so I'm not that terribly worried. In fact, 2 of the people who left...

And I'll be joining that lot after Friday February 5th, 2010. I was going to try to network via these boards like the man from Unemployment instructed. But now I see lots of people on here who are also unemployed and I wonder if I should bother...

Phil G and I are both big wine lovers too. Our palates have become more sophisticated over the years, but we're still rank amatures. We like what we like, which is usually anything dry. The most frightening thing is that we've recently discovered some really good BOXED wine! <GASP> We're big...

If someone was taking pictures, I missed it! But then, I was busy in the kitchen for most of the meeting. But that's okay because the kitchen is where I'm the happiest! <G>

Hey Gang! Thanks for coming to the wilds of South Jersey! Hosting today was our pleasure. It was too bad we didn't have more people, but maybe next time. And thanks for all the food/beer/wine/soda, etc today too!! Cheers!

lol Frags/inverts...it's all good. We'll keep them all happy. Thanks for the soda!

I'm not sure yet about how many people. 20-25 is probably about right, though with our luck we'll probably have the whole group. We'll do the hotdogs/burgers too. Would you mind bringing soda? I would get a mix of regular and diet. As far as the cool place goes, the meeting being inside or out...

Okay folks, I've looked at the RSVP's and am glad to see there are some! As far as food goes, I'll be making the following: Pulled Pork Baked Beans Some sort of cake I saw offers for broccoli salad and potato salad and yes, those would be awesome, thanks!!

I do believe they are open on Saturday. They are just a couple miles away. Take a look at their website: www.hainsporkshop.com. Or, I'm sure we can sneak away and I'll drive you guys over there. Bring money, lots of money. lol Actually, they're very reasonable. It's the only place I know where...

;D Okay folks, just so you know, my main contribution to the menu will be pulled pork. We have an old fashioned pork butcher/smoke shop near us that has been run by the same family since 1865. Check out their website: www.hainesporkshop.com They are AWESOME!!! I may do more depending on my mood...

Just remember...PeteFest is just around the corner. It will take at least some mouse ears to earn a new tank, Mr. Man. The Great and Powerful ChefPete has spoken...again.

We're kind of like the Freemasons. Everyone thinks we're just urban legends, but in reality, we're everywhere...

That would be awesome! Though I should also say that if someone were to GIVE us a 120 gallon tank AND stand, etc, we MIGHT be able to make it fit...
