I'm baaaaack!!

[Dar]

Hey Gang!! I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to post, although I have snuck in a quick peek from time to time.

Looks like we have a whole slew of new Rudies!! Welcome one and all!!
Hope to hear a lot more from all of you!!
It's always so fantastic to hang out with others who adore our gal!!

As has been said by others, we are a very friendly bunch, we may not always agree on everything but we all definitely agree on the MAIN THING;
JANIS IS THE GREATEST.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! A THREE DAY ONE for most of us here in the States. Yippeee!!

PS....I'm glad we finally got that whole stroopwafel spelling thing straightened out............ and Agnes, I didn't really notice any difference between the 'real' stroopwafels that Marjan sent me and the kind I get from the place here in the states, the 'fake' ones as Marjan calls them. It's a bakery owned by two Dutch immigrants, who also operate a restaurant in Billings, Montana of all places. http://www.caramelcookiewaffles.com/index.html

If Marjan is planning on bringing stroops to Pittsburgh, maybe I'll bring some from my source as well and we can do an official blind taste test.
What do you think Marjan? I don't think there's such a thing as too many stroopwafels.

Gosh, Dar, I never thought you'd let work get in the way of your MB posting! Just when you think you know a person....

So what ARE your plans for the extended weekend? We're off the the lake house where I will make my first excursion out on the wave runner since my accident :eek: Should be quite a vision...everybody trying to dodge the one-eyed woman and our three legged dog swimming in circles (this will also be her first trip to the lake since her surgery.

Pleased that you got your priorities back in order and made your way back to the board.

Welcome back, Dar! I'm off tomorrow, though, so I won't get to see much of your "backness" at work.

That probably didn't make any sense... but hey...

Welcome back, Dar.

Welcome back Dar. You're always missed :)

Dar, come to Gouda. The stroopwafels there are more real than you ever knew existed...

well Dar I have been away a while too (only 10 days) it feels silly when I tell other friends that I miss my rudie friends- they just look at me as if I were completely off my head- but it is true!

[Marcia Drummergal]

Welcome back Dar (and David). I knew something wasn't quite right around here! <g>

Marcia :)

[Rickster]

Dar, Glad your back...We missed you :)

[DaveM]

I thought perhaps she was taking guitar lessons.

Hi Dar, welcome back!
I'm happy to bring stroopwafels in August and do the test :D

Goodie, goody or however you spell it! <g> I am up for a stroopwafel test! Last ones I had were melted, but good anyway!

Marcia :)

David, I guess I'm even worse... :D Just got home from a weekend in Düsseldorf (very nice, thank you) and my mother looked at me that exact way. Yes, I've missed checking in.

Dar, it's about time you got back, girl! I was starting to get worried!! <hug>

How Can We get J.I. to CA?

[KarenSews2]

I'll help decide which stroopwafels are better! Hi Dar!

Cool!! Marcia, hopefully August in Pittsburgh will not be as hideously hot as June in Indy.....well at least my hotel will probably have air conditioning so my box of stroops won't dissolve in the heat.

They were still good though! But so sticky....glad I didn't lose a filling! LOL

[GodSistah]

I can't help but think how many stroops and waffles are sacrificed daily to satisfy everyone's obsession! :rolleyes:
