Papa Is Heading For The US! Lance & Dolores Heading For San Fran...

[Lancer]

We're getting the flowers ready for our hair because in the latter part of January Dolores's Papa is leaving the Philippines for the first time and coming to stay with us. In November he took his first ever trip from his island to Manila for his interview. All went well and now he has his visa! WooHoo! We've been working on this for a while and shelled out many clams to make this happen. Clemente is the man's name and a great guy is he. He sacrificed everything so his kids could get their educations. His house was falling down but the tuition got paid. The kitchen actually did fall down before we started building his/our new house.

The things this man has endured with strength give me the greatest esteem for him. He is also very personable and will be a welcome addition to our home.

Anyway, we'll drive down to SF, get a hotel and take a shuttle into the airport the next day to get dad. We'll bring him back to the hotel, let him rest up that night and then head home along the coast so he can see the redwoods.

Anyone wanna tilt back a couple in SF?

I was in San Fran this summer...neat city.

I thought the Cheesecake Factory on top of the Macy's, with the heated patio and all overlooking Union Square was pretty badass

[Ted Striker]

Congrats Lancer.

Say, if you have time, you should head over to tandeetaylor's thread. She is having trouble with immigration.

[Sten Sture]

Lancer - it would be great to see you and Dolores again. Maybe we could have you over for dinner on your first day in the city?

[Lancer]

That would be great Sten, looking forward to it.

Right now we're working out the details of exactly when dad's trip is going to occur, but we'll keep you informed.

Think you could PM me your ph# again? Thanks

I'll PM you some info...

[Sten Sture]

I got your PM, but I got a friendly Apoly note when I replied that your PM inbox is full and needs to be cleaned out before my messege can be delivered...

Delete a few saved emails if you can, and if mine doesn't come through automatically, I'll snail-mail it the old fashioned way.

[Lancer]

Something is up with that. It says I have 152 messages yet it only shows me a dozen or so. Anyway, I deleted most of those now, so...I hope it will work for you.

[Ted Striker]

Lancer,

There should be a tab somewhere in you private mailbox area that says something like: "Show all messages since:" You should be able to have the option to select "the beginning" which will show all messages receieved since you signed up at Apolyton. Right now I am guessing that it is only showing the messages you have recieved in the last 10 days.

people use private messaging?
why can't more polytoners live round Boston...
le sigh!

[Lancer]

Yes thank you Ted, I did that. I think the posts in question are from before the beginning, prior to the time of the change over to our current board or something.

I believe these PMs to be truly ancient by Apolyton standards. I'd love to get to them but don't know how.

[Ted Striker]

Did you also clean out your Sent Messages mailbox?

[Lancer]

That was it Derek! Thanks...hey, how have you been guy? Ever get your job situation resolved? Well I guess you must have, so what are you doing these days?

[Theben]

I have a friend in SF... maybe I kin use that as an excuse to get down there if it's not too soon.
