Who Lives Near Tampa, FL?

Although I'm looking for a new job, I had to schedule a business seminar on February 8 & 9 in Tampa. I think I'll be arriving the night before, but I'm not sure yet. Unfortunately, my immediate coworker :evil:, boss and another manager are going as well. I'm hoping I could ditch them and hang out with some sheepies.

So who lives near Tampa? I'll be at a Westin in Tampa. Let me know :D
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
Anyone anyone???? I'll be there Feb 7-9 and available for dinner on Wed and possibly Friday. I'd LOVE to meet up with some sheepie folks.
I'm too far north - bummer. :evil:
It is cold here ...I would come south to meet you just to get warm,but have barn duty :(
Well, I leave for Tampa tomorrow and will get in around the dinner hour if all goes well. Sandy Sheepie has so kindly invited me over for dinner Wed eve. On Thurs before my meeting, we'll go into town for lunch and then to a scrapbook store! I just love meeting new people with sheepies!!! :D Looking forwarding to meeting up!

Hopefully, my luggage will come with me unlike Steve's who's luggage didn't get on the correct plane and arrived some time during the night. He's on a one day business trip to Kentucky. :evil: He rarely travels and of course it's the same week as me. The pups are mighty confused!
My dad lives there but I wouldn't wish him on anyone. lol

Ha! I have one of those too! Do you ever see him?
if it was a few months later say may maybe i would hopefully have move for the uk to about 30 outside tampa

so next time you head that way give me and einy a shout



zoe and einy
Yeah, I see him quite a bit actually. He finally just moved down there permanently in the last few years. He used to go back and forth between Michigan. For some reason, he still loves the road trip so he's up here every couple of months. Airfare is cheap but I can't spend more than aa day or so with him so I don't go down there unless I have somewhere else that I have to me. Then I just tie the visit into my plans. It provides me with an out.

Growing up he was a terrible dad but about 8 years ago, he had an epiphany and now he's just crazy instead of crazy and a jerk! No, he's ok but, believe me, he's like no one you've ever met. Eccentric doesn't begin to scratch the surface! he got married again a couple of years ago and his new wife is great with him. She helps a lot!

Stacy - update on the weather, it is now 67 and sunny outside....it will get into the 70's but there is a small chance of rain. Better than snow any day :twisted: ! Heard your temp was something like 2 ? Brrr...

Zoe - Are still thinking about moving here?

Meg
Weather.com is currently showing us at 3 degrees and it's snowing.

Poor Steve. I hope he's able to come back in town tonight without being too delayed.

Jill, I don't know how old your Dad is, but maybe there is still hope for a relationship with my Dad down the road. Right now, nope. :(
Hi Stacy!
I hope you dont mind me sending a PM...I just keep thinking about your situation with your Dad, and wondered if you would like to talk about it w/someone non-publicly. Im considering writing to Butterscotch for the same reason. My family is INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH nuts, and its hard to talk about it here, because no-one can be objective...my husband refers to my sister as "The- Source- of- All- That- is- Evil" for instance :roll: :lol: not that I disagree, its just that I still love her in spite of her being....um...what she is :evil: Anyway...let me know! :)

I sent you a PM :)
good grief! I thought I had punched the button for a PM with that last post!! :oops: :oops: :oops: I am the Queen of computer illiteracy! :!: sorry... :?
Lol. Oops! I'm cool with my dad but if you want to PM old war stories, let's do it. I'll bet I've got one little eccentricity that no one else on the forum has about their own dad. ;)
I'm about 45 minutes from Tampa...

lucky duck. at least we all know you'll be sleeping well. i love hotels. when mr. j is here, we're in one every few months ...at least, it seems!
I'm got home from Tampa on Friday evening. A huge thanks to Sandy Sheepie (Meg), her hubby, son and Sam for entertaining me. Meg picked me up from my hotel and drove me back to her home for dinner. She said the drive wasn't far, but it sure seemed like a trek to me :D . Her house is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks again, Meg!!!
:oops: ...awwww it was nothing...glad to put a face with a name. Let's see, that's 4 down and lots more to go!!! :D I'm glad you made it home safely.
