See whining does do wonders! I want more hits! Come on people hit my bills. *fingers crossed* I hope that Starbucks works as well. I been told that is a great place to spend them. We shall soon see! Oh yea I got me a Vanilla Latte, that is what they suggested to me, if I like the Capaccinos from the gas stations. It was good. Maybe I will get a few more hits later tonight from the Starbucks. I found that talking about Where’s George seems to help as well. I really do hope that I have more hits by time of the Gathering to have some good hits to show off.

Record high!
Yesterday Knoxville meet a record high. It was 81 yesterday. Our normal highs are in the mid-50’s. Today is to be around 79 as well. So we have had a nice hot day, but it wasn’t all that hot, you can feel the breeze. Plus, its still winter, not spring yet. They did say we should get thunderstorms, but so far, knock on wood we didn’t get them like they thought we would. But, by Tues we will be back in the normal high range or so.

My WG Book
I am going to do some talkin’ about Where’s George. It seems to do me good when I do this. I made me a book on Where’s George. Basicly this is the book I take with me when I go to gatherings. It is in a half-inch binder. All pages are in sheet protectors. It will have my stats in it, autograph section of those who I have meet. Even a page so the fellow Georgers can stamp the stamps they use on my page. Plus, misc. other information about Where’s George and such. Speaking of Gatherings the Lost Sea Gathering is around the corner. 2 more weeks! It will be here before we know it. I cannot wait to meet fellow Georgers. I believe around 20 something Georgers from around the area and such will attend. I will also bring my box of stampers and ink pads that I have. Plus, some money to trade and spend! Woot! I also hope that this gathering will bring many, many hits to me. I hope I get more hits soon, I want to increase my hit rate some before the Gathering. Give more of something to show off you know. LOL *fingers crossed* *whining*. Take care y’all. Wish me luck for many more hits!

I got a hit!
I got a hit! No who said whining doesn’t do wonders?!? Well you are wrong! Whining does do wonders. My Hit!. This bill was entered in Knoxville, TN and now is in Indianapolis, IN. This bill has travelled 287 Miles in 262 Days, 17 Hrs, 58 Mins at an average of 1.1 Miles per day. This was vacation money from June 2005.
*fingers crossed* *whiney* Until I get my next hit. Maybe I will get another one or two today! Then, a couple tommorrow and the day after, etc. I do hope my dry spell is over and I continue to get hits daily. I will settle for one hit a day! Even more!

20 Days!
20 Days until the Lost Sea Gathering. I will get to meet fellow Georgers. Trade some bills. I think the avg people bring is 100 to trade. So I will be trading bills with everyone I can. People will be coming from surrouding states to TN and I know some from MI. Some of the attendees are planning to go to the New England area of the US. So can get some good hits up there. So I cannot wait to see which ones will get hits and where. All my bills saved for the gathering are marked with something about the gathering on it so I will know. I have around 30 bills I think. So I have more to save up each week to do it. I might try to get me a good stack and trade some with coworkers and make a note which coworker I got it from. Just to see if any of the bills they handed me get hits from the gathering. Plus, the 100 bills are also to be used to spend while down there as well. Plus, I been told a lot of the attendees plan to bring me business cards. I hope I come back with tons of boxes full. 
I want some hits now, darn it! Can’t you tell I am being *whiney* So do you have your *fingers crossed* like I do for some hits? I got 2 yesterday, I want a couple today too. Come on folks, hit my bills. Hey waiter from Cracker Barrel, what are you waiting for? Hit those bills I gave you last night, you even got an info card about Where’s George. It is fun and addiciting.
I know I got a few of my fellow LJers to use Where’s George.
Did you all see my goofy picture of me on my http://wheresgeorge.cardeologist.com site that I made that tells you about this hobby of mine. It is a subdomain of my main web site (of my main hobby — collecting business cards). I need to update my picture on the front page and include my new stampers and do it similar to the one on there, with some Georges ($1) on it. If you come across a marked bill, enter it! It could be mine, you don’t even have to sign up for Where’s George. But if you want to know where it will go next, then you can sign up for FREE!. http://www.wheresgeorge.com. Maybe you can tell, but maybe talking about Where’s George just might get me a hit. Hey it’s worth a shot eh?

2nd hit tonight & Bad Dinner!
I got my 2nd hit tonight! Woot! I got it while eatting at Cracker Barrell. My 2nd hit tonight!. This bill is in Pineville, KY (it came from Knoxville, TN). This bill has travelled 53 Miles in 224 Days, 13 Hrs, 55 Mins at an average of 0.24 Miles per day. This person said 8 out of 10, so it makes me wonder if he entered in 10 bills that time or he found 10 marked bills?!? Oh yea this is one of the bills that came through to us at our yard sale back July 2005. I want more hits! *fingers crossed* *whiney* Whining does wonders they say! I hope that my dry spell is over and I get many, many more hits. I want at hit every day. I want to see my hit rate and all get higher and higher. I want some good stats for the Where’s George gathering toward the end of this month!
On our way to going to the restaurant, we saw a rat cross the street. (this was still a ways away from where we ate at).
Just say tonight was a night unlike any others. We went to cook our steak, opened the steak it was red, until we got to look at the other side, it was black! EEEW! So we went to eat at Cracker Barrell. It was a mistake!
I asked for a cup of chili. I got it, it wasn’t even hot. I had to ask for it to come to be before my food came out. It was barely warm, the cup was hot, but the chili wasn’t. We asked for honey mustard, the carrots for my daughters meal and some blackberry jelly, we never got it.
Just say they didn’t even bring me what I ordered, when they handed me the food I was like I didn’t order that, so they asked me what I did. (it wasn’t the waiter that brought me the food) He came back saying I am so sorry they made the wrong food, they are cooking it as fast as they can. Well my food never came and my wife and daughter were done w/their food. So I went to complain, btw there was barely anyone in the resturant, no refills, took about 10-15 mins to get our drinks to us, after we placed our order. Well I talked to the manager she had my meal taken to go and took our whole tab off, my wife’s food wasn’t that that well either. They also gave us 3 slices of the Coca-cola cake.
We never have had this bad service at this restuarant in a very long time. When they first opened, but never again. I know shit happens, but damn. You know if it was busy, maybe I would haven’t said much, but with only like 5 tables total occupied, you know it!
Maybe the rat crossing our path as a sign? Anyone know what the wivestale is about a rat crossing your path?
I still did tip our waiter, $2 and I gave him one of my info cards about Where’s George. I printed these on my home printer. So maybe those will get hits?
