It took place today when Bets and I had lunch together in Bloomington. We broke protocol and did not go to Panera. We also will not fall for the gold ring scam of the Helpline. "Oh, you had a meeting. You owe us a franchise fee."
It was great getting to know her. We talked about all of you, of course.
Awesome Karen! Don't fall for Frank's franchise fee scam. Or Eileen's. I will let you know if Eileen talks about you at our meeting on Saturday. You should hear some of the things she says... :-)
You don't owe anyone a franchise fee (but then you knew that). Hey, I've known Frank for years, and he likes to poke people, but it's all in jest (sorry, Frank, I blew your cover).
You don't have to go to Panera. Frank and I picked Panera for the first ever meeting, but it was just because it was between us and had Wifi. No other reason.
Have fun!
Wish I could be there, cause I know this will be a fun meeting. (Hope Bets talked nice about me.)
Yes, Jo, she did say nice things about you. I'm a little worried about you going to the Sacramento meeting. Will you make it out alive?
Yes, of course. I am taking my dad with me in case there are problems.
Awww Fort Wayne is my home town:)
No worries Jo. We haven't had any fatalities yet. There was one close call though... :-)
We do keep trying, though...We're gonna have to start a 'Panera-and-hotel' package at the rate we're going ;-) Brunch included...
(Private message for Karen & Bets - thanks for sending me the franchise fee so quickly!)
Are yu meeting in January?\in Ft. Wayne? When/where? Thanks!
@Kat, Probably not. If we ever do have a meeting, it would be in Indianapolis. We've thrown the idea around with Jean-Paul, Norman, and Grier. Maybe one day, but definitely not now with the Artic air arriving.
I don't know why kat cares about a meeting there. She is contractually bound to attend the Sacramento meetings and only the Sacramento meetings. And kat, don't forget that I know where you live and you know you don't want to mess with me! :-)
Karen, if you guys can set up a meeting I'm sure you will enjoy it.
The only meeting I'm having today is with the Christmas decorations. I am determined to win. Although the nutcrackers are looking at me with steely, determined eyes.
