May 2011 meeting
« on: April 28, 2011, 07:54:11 »
I'll be hosting it at my house and have a cookout.

Address:
1609 Fair Oaks Dr, Sidney, Oh 45365

Directions:
Google map :


Just for some landmarks:
When you get off the interstate, the next light you come to (right before walgreens) is where you take  a left.
After walgreens you will come to a stop sign, go through it and take a left at the next road. My house is the 7th on the left, Blue Mustang and a Maroon Ford Fusion in driveway.


I will be making burgers and getting 2liters of Soda so If you have any special requests please let me know. I'll eb geting MTD, Coke, DP, and 7up

Well the good news about this is, if he is your boss and he is leaving... does it really matter if you show up required or not? ;P not like he is gonna be able to fire you after the weekend if you don't show up haha

The bad part about it is that my boss was a large part of why I have my wonderful job! I believe that i owe him that much...

cool, you got some mini brittles in there. that refuge of mine is full of life. I overfeed my main tank so that some eventually gets down in there for them to eat. I just need to get some pods to thrive in my DT again so i can get a mandarin again.

my pleasure. "Secret" indeed MICKI!!!!  :angry4: lol, jk, some TLC, elbow grease, man handling and holy water (to ensure you guys weren't demons, at least it works in Supernatural  :o ). I put a lot of effort in my meat  :-Cry

Some Emeril Southwest Blend & original essence (i usually use Bayou Blast too but i couldnt find it at the store), Mcguiers Steak seasoning, Mrs. Dash herb and garlic seasoning. Oh, and some bud lite lime ;) figured if i get you drunk enough, you wouldnt notice it was dog meat lol

Ohioreef, stop by any time after 4pm sun-Thursday, anytime fri-sat. Thats generally when i'm home. More than welcome.
