OK, listen up everyone!  I am about to leave for a much needed vacation.  I expect you all to behave while I am gone.  I don't want to come back and find this place a mess.  ;)  

You may have noticed that Gabi has joined the moderator team.  I'm putting her in charge while I am gone.  Be nice to her.  I'll warn ya - she may be "new" but she knows her stuff.  Don't get her mad at ya - you don't want to deal with the "wrath of Gabi"!  :o  Even more, you DON'T want to deal with me if you mess with Gabi or Susan.  >:(

;D All kidding aside, I know you will all get along just fine without me.  You all know how to play nice - that's what makes this such a neat place.  

Hubby and I are heading out on an "unstructured" vacation.  In other words, we don't have a plan other than where we need to be on one day!  We plan to drive the RV around Minnesota and Wisconsin and get in some quality bicycling and camping.

We are leaving Friday night 7/1 and will return Sunday 7/10.  Hope the US members have a wonderful 4th of July.  The rest of you - just have a wonderful time.  ;D

We'll miss you, BB! I don't get to post here as often as I'd like because these boards are usually slow-loading for me, but I do lurk when I can and I know what a great person you are to have around! Have a fantastic trip!  ;D

I suddenly feel like chanting "substitute moderator". :)

Have a great vacation BikerBraid; we'll all miss you and treat Gabi will all due respect. :D

Just don't treat Gabi like you probably treated your substitute teachers!  ;D  (oh, the terrible things we did to subs  :P )

Have a great time BB!  Those are my favorite kinds of vacations...so relaxing!

Have a great time! ;D ;D ;D

Have a nice vacation! We'll miss you.

I promise not to treat Gabi the way I did my substitute teachers. ;D

Have a great time BB!  We know you will be moderating in spirit! :P

Have a WONDERFUL vacation BB, we'll be good but we will miss you!

Okay, mom--uh, BB I'll behave.  

Have a wonderful, restful vacation.  Don't worry about us, I'm sure Gabi can handle this crew ;D

Ooh! A vacation, I'm jealous! I hope you have a fun time. Oh and I live in Wisconsin right now...We've been having some reallyyy erractic weather lately. I hope you don't get caught in one of our out of nowhere mind boggling storms!

Hey - where do you think Wisconsin's weather is coming from??  MINNESOTA!  I'm living your weather a day before you get it!  (where 'bouts in WI are you? - if you see a couple of people on weird looking bikes - it just might be us!)

Well, thanks for the weather then!  :P I live in a place called Chippewa Falls...No one has ever heard of us, it's near Eau Claire and that is maybe 100 miles from St. Paul. :)

That sounds like a nice vacation!  I hope you have fun (or had fun, depending when you read this)!

I have a few things to add to that  ;D:

Listen to your Mamma!

Mamma, have a good time and don't forget to leave me everyone's home and work address *EVILLE*.

Don't worry gang - we'll muddle through .... and then, when BB gets back we can give her a really hard time  ;D ...g
