You know the wuffos of Dublin better than any of us here. Rock it out girlie. Hell, I may even take a whack at it. The one time I did this we had to let the local fire department know about it and they had to be in attendance. Just a thought.I like coconuts.

blueskyserenity 0 #104 February 24, 2005 Let's not forget we are fundraising for Breast Cancer Research and Cure Like most elementary schools, it was typical to have a parade of students in and out of the health clinic throughout the day. We dispensed ice for bumps and bruises, Band-Aids for cuts, and liberal doses of sympathy and hugs. As principal, my office was right next door to the clinic, so I often dropped in to lend a hand and help out with the hugs. I knew that for some kids, mine might be the only one they got all day. One morning I was putting a Band-Aid on a little girl's scraped knee. Her blonde hair was matted, and I noticed that she was shivering in her thin little sleeveless blouse. I found her a warm sweatshirt and helped her pull it on. "Thanks for taking care of me," she whispered as she climbed into my lap and snuggled up against me. It wasn't long after that when I ran across an unfamiliar lump under my arm. Cancer, an aggressively spreading kind, had already invaded thirteen of my lymph nodes. I pondered whether or not to tell the students about my diagnosis. The word breast seemed so hard to say out loud to them, and the word cancer seemed so frightening. When it became evident that the children were going to find out one way or another, either the straight scoop from me or possibly a garbled version from someone else, I decided to tell them myself. It wasn't easy to get the words out, but the empathy and concern I saw in their faces as I explained it to them told me I had made the right decision. When I gave them a chance to ask questions, they mostly wanted to know how they could help. I told them that what I would like best would be their letters, pictures and prayers. I stood by the gym door as the children solemnly filed out. My little blonde friend darted out of line and threw herself into my arms. Then she stepped back to look up into my face. "Don't be afraid, Dr. Perry," she said earnestly, "I know you'll be back because now it's our turn to take care of you." No one could have ever done a better job. The kids sent me off to my first chemotherapy session with a hilarious book of nausea remedies that they had written. A video of every class in the school singing get-well songs accompanied me to the next chemotherapy appointment. By the third visit, the nurses were waiting at the door to find out what I would bring next. It was a delicate music box that played "I Will Always Love You." Even when I went into isolation at the hospital for a bone marrow transplant, the letters and pictures kept coming until they covered every wall of my room Then the kids traced their hands onto colored paper, cut them out and glued them together to make a freestanding rainbow of helping hands. "I feel like I've stepped into Disneyland every time I walk into this room," my doctor laughed. That was even before the six-foot apple blossom tree arrived adorned with messages written on paper apples from the students and teachers. What healing comfort I found in being surrounded by these tokens of their caring. At long last I was well enough to return to work. As I headed up the road to the school, I was suddenly overcome by doubts. What if the kids have forgotten all about me? I wondered, What if they don't want a skinny bald principal? What if . I caught sight of the school marquee as I rounded the bend. "Welcome Back, Dr. Perry," it read. As I drew closer, everywhere I looked were pink ribbons - ribbons in the windows, tied on the doorknobs, even up in the trees. The children and staff wore pink ribbons, too. My blonde buddy was first in line to greet me. "You're back, Dr. Perry, you're back!" she called. "See, I told you we'd take care of you!" As I hugged her tight, in the back of my mind I faintly heard my music box playing . . . "I will always love you." Breast Cancer has or will affect everyone directly or indirectly. Kudo's to the Roaming DZ and all those involved in fundraising efforts for such an important cause!!!I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

pyke 0 #110 February 24, 2005 QuoteI can hopefully get them to fill the dunking booth for us too. If he's smart - he'll say "You don't WANT us to fill your dunk booth!!" Fire supply water 'typically' isn't potable - or if it is, has been sitting around, in tanks and lines, for ages. It's usually SO STAGNANT when it comes out to douse a fire....that the smell is ghastly - only you can't tell in a fire because of the char smell. (one of my best friends and a cousin are both full-time FD) Best we use a hose and tap from one of the buildings...dunking booths don't take that much...perhaps 50-75 gallons or something. That should be just under an hour with a good hose and water flow. Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.

Bolas 5 #111 February 24, 2005 That was very sweet, way to bring some class to this thread. Hallmark moment over Okay, Possible Schedule of Nightly Events: Wednesday - Standard Debauchery Thursday - Green outfits of various sizes and painton outfits. Beginner and Intermediate Poker tournament. Friday - No Limit Poker Tournament Rocky Horror? Bad Skydiving Movies? Car painting (continuing from day) Saturday - Dunking booth and car smashing (continuing from the day) Slave Auction, Raffle Drawings Sunday - Finding all your clothes and renting a U-haul to take your liver home. I think we may just use Rocky Horror as a backup/weatherhold plan. So no lingere shopping for myself in this Bible Belt town. I think the shaving words into heads for donations might not happen either. Oh well We got enough going on. Edited to add: I don't want the car burned either. Smashed, destroyed, ripped apart, trashed, etc. is allowed though.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I'm all for this as well, but it might involve having some full-time medical staff monitoring this for glass cuts and other boo-boos. Might just have to limit to adults...and of course - they'd have to sign a waiver or use an 'enter at own risk' clause!! I'm certain Spence doesn't want to 'pay' for this boogie for the rest of his life!! (sorry to be a drag on the fun, but I've demo'ed a car in this fashion...and we only had one hospital visit!

RastaRicanAir 0 #124 February 24, 2005 QuoteNope, the Raffle is at the Sat. night party (tradition) and the car events should probably go down at night. The boogie is over Sunday afternoon and people will be traveling home. How long can it take a bunch of hooligans to destroy a car anyway???? Uh-Uh. Car smashing happens in the daytime. Sunset latest. Same with the Guy-Shift on the dunking booth. Hard to hit something properly with a hammer at night. Also hard to avoid falling down on a pile of busted headlight. Besides, by Saturday night many of the patrons will be feeling way too ........uhhhhhh....Passive? So we'll just leave everything on Saturday. I'm down with this: ------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday - Standard Debauchery Thursday - Green outfits of various sizes and painton outfits. Beginner and Intermediate Poker tournament. Friday - No Limit Poker Tournament Rocky Horror? Bad Skydiving Movies? Car painting (continuing from day) Saturday - Dunking booth and car smashing (continuing from the day) Slave Auction, Raffle Drawings Sunday - Finding all your clothes and renting a U-haul to take your liver home. I think we may just use Rocky Horror as a backup/weatherhold plan. ------------------------------------------------------------ Damn, Sat's gonna be a f*ckin' Carnival! But whoever said we should let kids hit a car with a hammer needs to check their dosage.
