Funny Kathy,

  I do have a response but I do not want another  minus added to my rep for the site.

  Never actually got into the motorcycle scene though there were desires... Thank you Liz. I'll do my best to keep the dirty side down.

Hugs,
   Laurie

That works equally as well for me

Hi Kathy,

  Awww thank you. Still under house arrest? IIt's such a bother.   I jest Kathy I'm kidding really it's was only a joke. I really Would have driven a little further this trip to see you and Kelly Had I been adequately  documented to make the crossing. I won't attempt a secretive crossing as I like my freedom. Sorry.

Hugs,
    Laurie

Laurie, what were you thinking, bringing up the home detention. You know she is sensitive about it.

Three things.
First, are you planning on walking?
Second. You are three hours later or is it earlier than me. My partner wanted to know why my phone came to life at midnight last night, you crazy woman.
Third. Are you walking?
Forth. Oh that is one to many, sorry.

Moni

 My dear Moni or whatever you're going by these days,

   In response...

Three things.
First, are you planning on walking?

  I will be driving my trusty steed (well mostly trusty), and home away from home, 2006 Chevy Silverado crew cab pickup. (doubles as a travel trailer at rest stops and out of the way wide spots in the road) It's midnight blue under the dirt.
  I know you said "walking" but was really thinking "is she traveling by broom? Will she be bringing her familiar?"

 

Second. You are three hours later or is it earlier than me. My partner wanted to know why my phone came to life at midnight last night, you crazy woman.

   As for the above please convey my apologies to your partner. I am sorry to have disturbed her rest. I realized what your local time was right after hitting that send button. And yes I did think of it disturbing her and wished I could have rescinded the outgoing message. Alas, we both know that it is just a wee bit too late to do so at that point. Again, please tell her I'm sorry for bothering her.

Laurie, what were you thinking, bringing up the home detention. You know she is sensitive about it.

  Yeah well, you would think she has had plenty of time to have gotten over it by now. Though I hate to admit you being right about anything, it was a bit insensitive of me. (I have been told several times "You lack tact and diplomacy" Hell, I'm no politician, I tell it like it is.) Besides she's in a foreign country and can't get at me to retaliate.

   Three thins huh? you always have this problem with numbers?

Hugs,
   Laurie

Laurie,
Five.  I still don't think they  found all the bodies at Kathy's house. She and Aunt Martha had 13 buried in the Panama Canal  in her basement as I recall. (name that movie)

Seven. Or is  it D)?  You are right, she can't  get to either of us. Besides, Canadians are too smart to come here right now.

Nine.  It's ok about the phone. I really just wanted to complain about you. I thought I would answer at 6AM my time. lol
Moni

Four. When is liftoff for this epic journey? Not specifically, don't want to crimp your style.

[Laurie]

Rusty???   

Hi Anne,

  No, not at all, it has been a very reliable vehicle needing only a few repairs in the 10 years I've owned it. It current has a 4 wheel drive problem I hope to have fixed before starting my trip. It  wouldn't stop my trip from happening if I didn't as I currently have it disabled.
  The Silverado 1500 crew cab is comfortable. I have the 5.3 liter engine and get good mpg for a pickup. I've been very happy with it.

Hugs,
   Laurie

  Hi Bony errr I mean Moni,

15M.  Yes I like lace, especially on my undies. (blush) TMI? not so enthused about arsenic, though it can be useful in combating all sorts of rats due to it's sweetener properties. 

17o. Yep we should definitely be safe. Besides she would have to fight against the prevailing traffic to come for us and would probably be detained as a imagined terrorist by the administration.

19n.  Yeah that's what I thought. That is why I apologized to your partner specifically.  You could respond at anytime you wish as i do not hear my phone when I sleep, even though I keep it above my head beside the bed.

  3i.  I won't be heading out before the 6th (I think) and hopefully before the 13th (I think) It is all subject to change as will my progress to Main and back. I'm thinking I can probably be away 4-6 weeks.

  There did those answers help you at all?

  Hugs,
   Laurie

Hi folks,

   I guess it's time for a little update on this thread. I am still far from ready to hop in the truck and hit the road. But I am closer than I was. I believe I know when I am leaving! Well actually I've narrowed it down to two days (and yes even that can still change)
   I've decided to take a break in my preparations to have another short adventure. I will be going out to the coast (only about 100 miles) and visit with Tessa tomorrow while attending the Astoria Pride festivities and return Sunday evening. Tessa invited me to come and enjoy the pride weekend many months ago. I decided to do so though it will likely delay my departure by a day.
   Which brings is back to when am I getting started. If everything falls into place I might be able to leave on Monday the 12th, but more realistically it will be Tuesday the 13th. I hope to be meeting with Jane Emily and RandyL on my way to Missouri. and that is as far as my ghostly plans have reached so far. Beyond Visiting my good friends in Missourah is just a cloudy rough draft in my head. I could head northeast to the upper peninsula of Michigan or continue east to Altoona, Pa. Both places have relatives I'd like to see on this trip. I could even try to hit both on the way out to Maine or split it to one in each direction. Like I said it is still just a rough draft in my head at this point.
  So now you all know as much as I do. More updates will come as I figure things out.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

P.S. Moni, Watch out girl, I'm going to hunt you down... I'll teach you to malign me!

[Shy]

Hope the packing is going well Laurie, and a fresh batch of cookies are in the oven for the journey.
Sounds like it's going to be quite the adventure, I can't seem to find a 'green with envy' emoticon 
Have a great trip and we want photos and a daily diary to make sure you're not getting up to too much mischief 

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

This reminds me, you better get your truck maligned before you get on the road. So, when can I expect to have to try to hide from you Laurie? I won't be walking too fast, so I think it fair I get a head start. I can see her posting the picture of us now. Her and I, her choking the life out of me. Don't be afraid to testify against her, there is always the witness protection program. They can set you up in a new life in the gender of choice, I hear. Just remember sometimes stalkers are harmless and sometimes they are Laurie.
