smittie Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hi Annie, About the ribbon, I was shopping today and found some ribbon that is printed with raspberries and has a raspberry colored edge. If you haven't purchased the ribbon and would like more details, you can email me and I would be happy to discuss it with you. I just bought a yard, but there is a whole roll on the shelf.

LostControl Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hey AnnieI can't make it to the cancert either, but I'd love to have a ribbon too - to wear on the day of the concert in rememberance of everyone else who's there (and in hope of an upcoming DVD or tour!). If you have a spare one, can you send it to me?34 Shetland WayKanata, ONK2M 1S2Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Michelle! You're back! I've been wondering where you went. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Away for 11 days visiting my mother. Just imagine - just me and my 3 year old on a 12 hour trip (each direction!). YIKES!My mother still lives in the dark ages and doesn't own a computer, so I haven't had a chance to check in since I left at the end of September! I haven't seen so much activity on this board since I started here 2 years ago! I sure am excited, even if I can't go to the concert.

AnniekNY Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hi Julie - I bought ribbon already (you can't believe the arguments i got into with myself over what color is "raspberry" - raspberry as in the red ones on the album cover - or a deeper red to purple)but the one you found sounds very intriguing too!!!How wide is it??? I have 1/2 inch wide satin ribbon - maybe we can combine the two with the berry-like applique i found?Should I send you one of what i have and you tell me what you think???annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hi Michelle - I will send you one - besides missing the concert, you deserve a MEDAL for being in a car that long with toddlers.....oh I remember those days....my "toddler" just got his drivers license!! annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Heck, being in the car would have been ok --- I was on a plane! As in:*no favorite CDs to sing along to*other passengers to annoy*no place to stop to get out to stretch your legs and let the child run around for 1/2 hour*eating the crappy food they give you and not being able to stop at the child's favorite restaurant (and to top it off, they lost my order for a children's meal, so he got roast beef)*3 hour layovers between flights*being stuck in a cramped seat*having to sit in a seat and not on mommy's lap, which caused some massive screaming that severely shocked the pilot.Driving....HA! Driving would have been heaven! On this trip Beelezbub was my travel agent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Michelle - I'm so sorry but I am laughing so hard right now...........I took my then 15 month old son to Ireland with my parents and he decided to have reaction to his vaccination that day - the high pitched screaming, slightly feverish, nothing makes him happy kind.My OWN father said in a LOUD voice - "Can't you keep that kid quiet???!!!!"If looks could kill........ but the attendants found us four seats so that my son could have his own seat and puddle around at our feet.A couple of years ago - had a late night flight to Ireland with my 2 kids and right behind us were 2 kids with FURBIES. Remember them?????We were delayed three hours taking off and the furbies were so chatty all night long!!! The mother didn't want to turn them off for fear of losing whatever memories they had built up.Ahhhhhhh......talk about jet lag.I love Ottawa - what a beautiful city and a fun place. I love the Parliment light show too.annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm sure SOME day I'll look back on this and laugh... probably the day my grandchildren make my son's life as miserable as he made mine.Oddly, my mom looked strangely happy the whole time we were at her house. Probably reliving the days when she said, "Some day I hope you have children that are as bad as you are." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hi all - so far I've received requests for 36 ribbons - not including my hubby and I. Approximately three are for people who can't attend but will be with us in spirit!!It's gonna be some party.......annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Annie, Just wanted to say "thank you" again for taking the time to make these ribbons for us....it's turned into quite a project, too.....36 ?? It's a great idea... and I know I'll be looking for our secret "EC.COM sign" on every person I see once I arrive in Cleveland...LOL....it'll be fun to try and guess who's who.....Marlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'll get one when we arrive. By the way, I've been a Jimmy Swaggert board member for some time. I've just been sitting back and watching.... A couple of years ago I got my password but didn't really do much but check the site every day or so. Boy, did that pay off! I'd never have known about the reunion.

marlene Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Gene, Welcome to the group. It's nice to have you posting. We're all so fortunate to have this great site to share with other Eric fans. Bernie works very hard to pass along information (and keep us somewhat UNDER CONTROL !!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadfingerBarb Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I don't want to show up and be the only fellow wearing a ribbon so I'll hold off for now. People might get the wrong idea about me. I may be a guy named Barb but I don't swing that way (not that there's anything wrong with that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggsherby Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'm a pretty cool dude, not once did I think wearing the ribbon would be a problem. I will wear it proudly!!!By the way, today's my birthday and I finally got the book! My wife gave me a hard time when I ordered it (I would never spend $25.00 on a book for myself... yada yada yada)...and pretty much she intercepted it and gave to me as birthday present today. Bernie, would you be kind enough to autograph it if I catch up with you in Cleveland? You did a hellva job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
