I have seen him too...great show! We love Key West where he has Margaritaville restaurant and he frequently comes in and gives a surprise show...We just missed it a few years ago while my friend who was there a few days after we left got to see him! we were mad! He is a great guy!

Hi cookie!

Besides being a lucky woman, you sound like a very busy woman!

My friend and I were so outraged today when the Jimmy Buffet tickets were gone iin 10 minutes only to appear on eBay that we divided a list and reported and contacted each seller. They have officially been removed from the site.......you wouldn't believe some of the response I got from these sellers " I had no idea, it was my first time to use eBay and my professor wouldn't let me off that day" yeah right! Like you JUST found that out 20 minutes after snatching the free tickets and offering them for sale for $2400.00.......yeah, I'm buying that BS.

Good for you Island 

Thanks but it wasn't just me and my friend, I know everyone here was outraged and should have been   The 2400.00 for a pair was one of the most absurd things I saw, most were anywhere from 450-750 for 4 tickets----now all the scumbags who are 1,000's of miles away have tickets that no way of going and the one's who can't pay for gas this month need a break and now won't get that........infuriates me to no end!

I would think there has to be a way for them to give out tickets without the scammers getting a hold of them. I hope they figure out some way so the people there get to see the concert. (((HUGS)))

Good Afternoon Monkeys,

I am back. I wanted to share to all from our beloved Wyks ... She sent me a " request for Prayer" ... yesterday via email. I just opened it within the last few mins.
She asked me to post this here in JSM's Cage.
Seems Wyks " Her home front and local surrounding area" was hit within the hours of June 21-22nd - with a tornado.. it caused great damage.  She is OK. But her neighbor is not doing so well. Seems their house was hit quite bad, and there huge massive damage ..and as Wyks stated in her email .. the area around her house is not so great either. I hope that she is ok. She wrote basically that she and family had to bunker down in her basement..and it was terrifying and unforeseen to what was ongoing .. outside. She did state that no one was hurt. Lots of destruction to homes and trees down - Huge old trees .. ...But she wanted everyone to know that her family is ok.

She asked if I would post here - and ask for Monkey Hope and Monkey Prayers. 
For her Neighbor and for all that were affected by this Storm. (( Including Her))

-- WHEW ...  I can't even imagine it.
Wkys if you read here ... We are all Praying for You.

Do you ever have those days where you just wanna scream...

When you would just love to reach thru the screen and slap the chit outta someone?

where everything goes wrong?

and then you find out its not even time to go home yet??

well, its fantastic, slpendid, i tell ya!!!

i swear this lady in our accounting office is trying her hardest to piss me off (she reports right to our boss/company owner)

our computers crashed, including an overload on our server battery back up thingy

i keep having to ask for more and more checks to be sent for temp ppl, and this lady i have a feeling is really trying to make me mad, she is asking the dumbest questions (yes there IS such a thing as a dumb ?) she even went as far as to tell me to make a new email each time and not just reply to the last one if they are not the same subject, even if i change the subject line...therefore she sends me 3 emails at the same exact time with 3 diff ?s instead of one email...and she is getting ruder and its going to make me same something if she doesnt quit. arse peeling from the boss or not!

ugghhh!!!

oh and we are supposed to leave tomorrow for vacation and my fiance wont find out until tomorrow if he even gets the time off....

There is one way that I might address at some point, his hotel is ~3 miles from my house and it's complete and opening next week, they could give the tickets out there (he77 I'd volunteer to help and know I could get 50-100 more people who would), granted people would complain that they would have to drive to P-Cola Beach for the tickets but at least we'd know they were not scammers 1,000's of miles away. His sister owns Lulu's over in Gulf Shores too, that is another possible route

Thanks, Deenie!

I thought she was just taking a little time away to get rejuvenated. No idea there was a disaster in her area. Glad to hear she is safe.

Appreciate the update.

Hi Monkeys, way behind. Took me forever to find a livestream of the England game. Stupid ESPN blocked me, so I had to watch Univision. Then had a meeting with doctors. Arrrggghhh. Will catch up with you guys later this evening. I doubt I will be on the phone tonight.

A magnitude 5.0 earthquake was felt in Toronto, Canada and elsewhere in that country as well as in the U.S. on Wednesday afternoon.

The U.S. Geological Survey placed the quake's epicenter about 24 miles north of Cumberland, Ontario and said it occurred at about 1:41 pm ET.

Many people experienced the shaking based on comments on Twitter and elsewhere but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the quake.

comments:

Felt it in Liverpool, NY

I felt it all the way in Mid-Michigan

http://n.pr/bjK4qx

Yes - we are in mid-Michigan and while I did not feel it due to intense napping, many people in our county did - the jail inmates were a bit freaked out by it apparently.

[no rose colored glasses]

Oh my, prayers coming Wyks way and for her neighbors, how awful. Wyks you will be in my thoughts and prayers, I feel so bad for all of you. HUGS for you and your community.

Scarey....does the term bury her in bullchit mean anything to you??? Try it until she screams "UNCLE"
I'm thinking 3 or 4 emails when 1 would suffice, perhaps follow up emails to see if she got the originals...you get the idea...I'm betting you'll win

[no rose colored glasses]

Well guys I out did myself this time. I was doing a good job sanding on the ceiling, but something went wrong real quick, we now have a hole in the ceiling  LOL  I'm laughing now, because I don't think my husband will be when he gets home. I will have to tell him to get a ceiling patch on his way home, and we will have to fix this.  I'm going to go vacuum now, I have paint chips not only in my hair but all over the floor, not good.

[theboyzmom]

Prayers to Wykes and all those involved. I am so glad she is ok!
