TIPTOE & Friends - New Schedule
Ok - here goes - sort of loosely defined at this point until we hear some definite date that Andi will send to Marie & Ed.
This is based on requests on the other threads. Did I miss anyone?? If you want to be added in - just holler! I am allowing 5 days for shipping as before. Was that enough?? Oct. 10 - Oct. 20 - Andi in Boca Raton Sends to Marie & Ed in Rhode Is. Oct. 26 - Nov. 7 - Marie & Ed Sends to Marlys in Boise. Nov. 13 - Nov. 21 - Marlys Marlys sends to Sheila in Illinois Nov. 26 - Dec. 10 - Sheila Sheila takes them to San Antonio for the Symposium Dec. 10 - 15 - San Antonio Brenda can take them to Austin (environs) after the conference. Brenda can keep them for a week or so and then send to Flori in La La Land to shop on Rodeo Drive for Christmas gifts for each other. New Years is up for grabs unless Flori is doing both holidays. Open slot in Jan - or maybe two slots. Feb. 2 (or so) to Laurie to help welcome the new family member. Who wants to follow that act??? |
Actually, I leave pretty much right after SABCS for a week in NYC, so Sheila can take them home or we can ship them from San Antonio straight to Flori!
|
Oh Nooo!
I am so sad to inform you all that our visit will have to be postponed for a later date. Ed is having some trying times lately and we have another reoccurrance going on. He is very high maintainence right now, no fault of his own. I must say that I am a bit worried about him and majorly depressed lately so bad I just cannot shake it>>Believe51
PS: Sorry TipToe, I really miss you and this would be a great time to give Ed some healing energy. I am afraid that this would be too much stress for such a wonderful healer like yourself! |
So SORRY, Marie.
So Andi might have to contact Marlys to see if she is ready for another visit. I think I need to make a post on the other forum so more people see this and new members can find out about Tiptoe and her cohorts. |
Hey StephN
I mailed them on the 10th and I don't think Andi has received them yet. |
WHATTTT?
But, Pink, it is already the 22nd. Things should not take that long. Did they go via China?? |
Send a pm to andi bb.... I hope they are not on the space shuttle or something.
|
I rec'd some e-mail from AndiBB today and she didn't mention anything about Tip arriving.
I must admit that I didn't pay extra to have them travel 1st class, and they could be stuck at the border (again). When KathyS sent them to me from Tokyo they arrived in 4 days. Unbelievable. |
Pink Girl....TipToe deserves First Class....anyway, I will be happy to take them to San Antonio with me....but remeber, what happens in San Antonio, stays in San Antonio...........
|
I know, I'm sorry. You're right, my Tippy deserves 1st class everything.
The truth: I was still a bit "under the weather" and I asked my husband to take the parcel to the post office. He gave me a "look" .... this is the 3rd time I've sent them off on an adventure ... so I quickly said "send them the cheap way" .... I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, I was under the influence of a lot of cough syrup ... it will never happen again, I promise. |

BIG SIGH! RELIEF! Tipsy & Company have arrived. Sam The Mailman had to ring my doorbell. The box couldn't fit in my giant mailbox. Oy. Their *upholstered* trunk is kind of heavy. Anyway -- ALL ARE WELL AND ACCOUNTED FOR. It is a joy to see Tiptoe again, to gander through all the baggies (bless the Ziploc company) and everyone's entries, pics and such. Great to finally meet Tex and the little rubber chicken (from Aves lab -- so I am temporarily calling her Avis). I went to school w/an Avis. Ed the gang is sending you healing energy at this very minute. And Marie, they are sending both of you LOVING energy to make you smile. I will soon be ready to mail them off, after our big reunion party planned for tomorrow. I SEEM TO RECALL THAT FLORI HAD A YEARNING TO BE ON THE LIST. Beverly Hills is lovely this time of year. Anyone else have an urgent need to have some happy little guests? With hugs and kisses, |
Whew. I was afraid they were headed to the int'l space station!
Sheila - the only evidence from San Antonio might be a well posed photo or two, but that is ALL! |
Andi -
Feel FREE to keep our mascots longer, since they have only just arrived. The schedule needs firming up anyway, and they should not need over a month in transit to get to someone to take them to San Antonio. If you want to send them to Flori then they can go to Brenda and then home with Sheila, then to Marlys, no harm done. |
Sounds like a plan, Steph! Thanks sooo very much for your amazing organizational skills and efforts. Your generosity of Spirit is a blessing to us all.
I emailed Flori. She would be delighted to host the gang. I will Fed Ex them to her soon. They'll be in LaLa Land before you know. And then, hopefully, in accordance w/the schedule. Back on track. Meanwhile, I'm going to cuddle with my guests... http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/2b00001c91/06 |
ja - good plan! All I know is that Genentech, Dr. Slamon, and GSK need to meet them... and Sheila, Maryanne, Esther, Joe and Christine and I need to take them out for a little San Antonio FIESTA!
|
Andi is sending the critters here.
They can be my pets at my pet scan on 11/3. I won't "hog" them and will send them to Marlys in Boise to arrive by the 13th. (I do need her address). Steph - We will do some Rodeo Drive shopping - and will post all our pictures. This is so ridiculous but I'm really excited. Marie - I am thinking of you and Ed and am sorry you are feeling so low right now. |
Shoot - I just re-read the thread and see that I should just send them direct to Brenda next.
|
Flori
Just make sure Brenda is gonna be around....I think she is going to new York before San Antonio. |
Actually, I am going to NY right AFTER San Antonio, so it would be better to send them to me (maybe around first week of Dec), and then I take them to SA and they go home with Sheila for the holidays...
|
As long as it doesn't involve the alphabet I'm good to do whatever is needed. (see my post under Hutchibk's 2000 game)
|
And They're Off... Bon Voyage...
http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/ob...lips/bow1-clipTIPTOE, TEX AND ?AVIS (THE RUBBER CHICKEN) HAVE LEFT BOCA AND ARE ON THEIR WAY TO FLORI IN BEV HILLS (AKA LALA LAND).
Love your artistic creation OVER THE RAINBOW, Flori, Morning Glory! It's so *you*. I FED EXed THE GANG TODAY. Fur and feathers were flying in excitement. I told them about Rodeo Drive and the stars and they seemed really up for it! All their goodies are with them. Of course. That is one hefty box. Sent with love. Of course... http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/2b00001c91/06 http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/ob...s/heartcorner2 |
Hi Brenda. Please e or pm me your address. I'll ship them via fed ex on 12/1 to arrive 12/3. Let me know if that works or if you want them sooner.
|
Flori - my address has been PMed to you! I can't wait... that time frame is good.
|
I was telling my partner about tip and tex and the chicken and we thought that we would appreciate hosting them after the holidays if there is an opening. I think it would liven things up around here if we had some company.
|
FLORI! Tip and Tex arrived today... I haven't had a chance to open them up yet, but they are here and will travel to San Antonio next week for SABCS and then on to Ill with Sheila! Will post pics soon...

O.K.! Where are the kids?? Did they enjoy San Antonio?? Did San Antonio enjoy them?? Did they get to meet any new people??? Waiting to hear!!!
Love & hugs, Marlys P.S. Last picture taken!!! |
Brenda H has them, they thoroughly enjoyed the symposium but they worked too hard. I must say they have picked up A LOT of extra baggage since they visited me a year ago! Their travel trunk is approaching the size of a steamer trunk! And soon they will need a new travel diary.
You'll be pleased to know, Tiptoe was very well behaved and didn't get anywhere near a martini of any flavor. We think Tex has been a good influence on her. I think they will want to stop enroute to their next visit to see Sheila - they were so looking forward to seeing her in SA but she was not able to make it. If they are anything like me, they will need a good long rest to recover from all the hard work at the symposium! |
Rodent Thoughts
1. Itis very difficult bringing TipToe to meetings. As those who have accompanied us will attest..many of those attending will take anything that is not bolted down. I would fear for his safety.
2. I had a chance to flip through TT's travel diary and I was extremely impressed. I wish to publish selections from the diary at a future date. Regards Joe |
I think Tip's journeys would make a fun picture book.

Hi everyone -
The Kids have been making the rounds a little more slowly than the 10-day earlier schedule - but that is fine. Brenda - have not heard from you lately. Have you sent them on to Sheila yet?? Weather has been SO awful, that it was probably wise to wait a bit till after the crush of holiday mail. So - here is the next list, unless there are corrections I am not up on: 1. Brenda to Sheila 2. Sheila to Jacquie (Woman of Steel) 3. Jacquie to Marlys in Boise 4. Marlys to Laurie for the birth of her son (Laurie - we need a good date to work around so as not to miss the Big Event - may have to do a little switching) Joe is right to be concerned for the Kids safety. I don't know HOW many people tried to take them from our HER2support exhibit at the AACR meeting in April. Our mascots were there mainly because I had them (except the chicken we picked up at that meeting) and Maryann (Dubois) wanted to take them to the other end of the country from there! |
Steph,
How about skipping me until after Laurie's baby is born..? That way she'll be sure to have them when she needs them. Love & hugs, Marlys |
We are very excited about hosting the threesome. Someone will have to fill me in on their likes, dislikes and all their little rules and regulations. This is just what we needed to give our year a special startup and since they will probably be here sometime near my birthday it will be an extra special treat! Hurray!
|
Ok -
Guess we need to hear from Brenda who is partying her heart out in New York City. Hey, Marlys, I took that shot of Tiptoe meditating last April. I am sure there have been more photos posted since then?? Japan in August and others. That little Buddha is actually an old one from a temple in Viet Nam. A family heirloom. This should give Steel Woman a hint. Think I need to find that original thread from Pink Girl. |
Partying my heart out in NYC? LOL. It was too bitter cold to party at all! We got snowed in and got home 2 days late...
So, the kids went 'Fed-Ex ground' for $17 to Sheila on Tuesday 12/23 - because it was either that or $58 to send them 2nd day Fed-Ex Express - and I just couldn't afford that... They should have arrived either today or should be there tomorrow! |
Steph,
Silly me. I have kept all the pictures that have been posted in a folder and just grabbed that one because I thought it was from her trip to Japan. Sorry. However, it really has been a while since anyone has posted pictures. Love & hugs, Marlys |
Ok - Brenda - another White Zone heard from (meaning the northern tier of the country!), but you are back in tepid weather now.
So the schedule is shaping up till we hear from Laurie. Marlys - Thanks for thinking my photo was from Japan. Guess the Asian heirlooms really set the scene on a Chinese stacking table. My decor here is rather eclectic ... Hope the "kids" will have the desired effect and help Sheila's body perk up. |
Steph, I like the new pic. Has anyone heard from Sheila, she hasn't posted and I was wondering how she was. I hope she is just busy with the kids and feeling better. Sheila , you can pm me for my address and let me know ladies when and who to send them on to after we have the little tykes.
|
I probably won't go early since this is my first. My actual due date is not until the 12th of Feb. They should not let me go more than a week after that. I should find out more on Mon. We may have to schedule a c-section due to my hemorroids.
|
I received the gang Friday late....am hoping to feel good enough today to enjoy reading of their latest adventures...my grandchildren want to see them so maybe late next week I can get that done...then off to their next host...I felt healing vibes when I opened the box....gee I could use that!
|
Yippee - they made it! I was worried since they were going ground over the holiday, and you were having some really crappy weather!
