I will be there. So if during dinner you all decide to have a "Posters you hate on the RF" conversation, make sure not to invite me:)

Who else is going?
Check the poll.

I'm not sure this type of question is legal, although I don't see any problems since we're all anonymous and there is no prohibition on discussing the (pre-reading) material. We're not allowed to discuss our results on the exam.

I wish I would have seen this before going, that way I could have stalked some of you :)

I was in 67A, way in the back, sitting all alone.

Hey Lipman,

You didn't happen to celebrate on Thursday by eating cheese fries covered in bacon, did you?

lipman

Hey Lipman,

You didn't happen to celebrate on Thursday by eating cheese fries covered in bacon, did you?

No.

I celebrated by having a couple of frozen concoctions at the restaurant, followed by more adult beverages back at the hotel bar. The bacon covered cheese fries were for nurishment reasons, they were not celebratory at all :D

*edited to add* Using my superior powers of deduction, I have narrowed you down to 3 potential people, any hints on which one of those three you are?

pilotfish

Alright - 3 out of 6 from one dinner checking in ... (does this mean it's really time to start studying for c8?)

Alright - 3 out of 6 from one dinner checking in ... (does this mean it's really time to start studying for c8?)

Your last comment allows me to eliminate one of the potential dinner guests, so that leaves 5 other people. I am pretty sure you are not me, so we are down to 4 potentials....Does one of your children have a sock compulsion?

pilotfish

08-23-2005, 09:09 AM

And how can you be so sure I'm not you?

Yeah - the sock kid is mine.

I might add to your deductions that bgirl is likely the person who mentioned this forum at dinner ...

I don't remember who mentioned it. I think I might have an idea, but only because the post didn't end in "Eh, Take off you hoser!" eliminating two of the contenders

bgirl414

08-23-2005, 11:26 AM

No fair! I don't remember hearing about a sock compulsion. But maybe you were a waiter who didn't mind when overcooked steaks were sent back?

And I will not be studying for C8. In fact, I will not be studying for another exam EVER! (assuming I passed, of course)

lipman

08-23-2005, 11:39 AM

Alright, now that we know who the three of us are...who are BigEEE, Skudo, and Solo?

BigEEE

08-23-2005, 12:41 PM

I helped close the hotel bar with you on thursday, although I wish I had gone to Outback...

skudo

08-23-2005, 12:48 PM

I think I'm the only one from Chicago in 67A

pilotfish

08-23-2005, 12:49 PM

You're also a newly minted expert on implied volatilities and smile curves, I'm thinking. Yes? (in response to EEE, that is)

lipman

08-23-2005, 01:01 PM

I helped close the hotel bar with you on thursday, although I wish I had gone to Outback...

Did you instead go to dinner with a Mr., a Mrs., and their recently minted midget?

*I love these kind of games :D! *

lipman

08-23-2005, 01:11 PM

I think I'm the only one from Chicago in 67A

One would think I could have put two and two together and figured this out from other clues I had available...

Leia

08-23-2005, 01:12 PM

I also helped in the bar closing

lipman

08-23-2005, 01:20 PM

Woohoo more people to guess. Lets see if I can make any educated guesses as to your identity Leia...

I am going to venture a guess that you are the one who denied the "significant other" from a frosty beverage by leaving them trapped back in the refrigerator laden room (yes I am still bitter about the fridge!)

Leia

08-23-2005, 01:22 PM

You would be incorrect

BigEEE

08-23-2005, 02:34 PM

Did you instead go to dinner with a Mr., a Mrs., and their recently minted midget?

*I love these kind of games :D! *

That is correct!

lipman

08-23-2005, 02:39 PM

You would be incorrect

Were you part of a disagreement about Jason Scott Lee and The Crow?

Leia

08-23-2005, 03:00 PM

Definitely.

Lala42

08-24-2005, 02:38 PM

lipman

08-24-2005, 03:19 PM

I wanna play, guess me, guess me!! :wave:

Need obscure hints. Were you in 67A? Were you at the hotel bar at closing? Were you wearing socks?

Titus

08-24-2005, 07:08 PM

Lipman...

Did you enjoy the Awesome Blossom with your cheese fries covered w/bacon?

Titus

08-24-2005, 07:15 PM

BigEEE...

Were you the oldest at the table in the hotel bar?

Titus

08-24-2005, 07:17 PM

bgirl414...

did you bring everything, but the kitchen sink for your room, to be prepared for anything? drive an Audi by chance?

Titus

08-24-2005, 07:19 PM

Pilotfish....

your brother (maybe in-law) is a Brad Pitt look-a-like?

Titus

08-24-2005, 07:22 PM

Leia...

Were you the one that met their husband on a plane?

Lala42

08-25-2005, 09:49 AM

Answering for Big EEE - he was not the oldest person at the table in the pub, you only thought he was

As for me, I was in 67A and I did not wear socks at any time during the seminar.....and I helped close the bar

lipman

08-25-2005, 10:12 AM

Lipman...

Did you enjoy the Awesome Blossom with your cheese fries covered w/bacon?

I hate onion rings.

lipman

08-25-2005, 10:14 AM

Leia

08-25-2005, 10:26 AM

Leia...

Were you the one that met their husband on a plane?

I did not meet the husband I do not have on a plane. But I was there for a conversation about someone else meeting her husband on a plane.

Lala42

08-25-2005, 10:48 AM

Were you (or more specifically your room) the object of my envy?

yes, you had refridgerator envy

also, if you still have any doubts....I share the same name as your x-wife :wink:

for future reference, you can request a fridge for yourself at most hotels, and they don't even charge for it!

Lala42

08-25-2005, 10:49 AM

Leia - are you from NYC?

lipman

08-25-2005, 10:53 AM

Leia - are you from NYC?

I can answer that one for her.
Yes

Lala42

08-25-2005, 10:55 AM

alright then, I think bgirl is the one who met her husband on the plane?
and pilotfish - were you the second oldest at the table?

none of us had any question at all who lipman is, huh??

Leia

08-25-2005, 11:01 AM

I can answer that one for her.
Yes
Thanks for handling that for me.

I had a refrigerator also. If anyone had a microwave I would have been jealous.

BigEEE

08-25-2005, 11:38 AM

BigEEE...

Were you the oldest at the table in the hotel bar?

I was not the oldest by age but perhaps by appearance!

bgirl414

08-25-2005, 11:59 AM

I am not the one who met her husband on a plane, I did bring everything but the kitchen sink, I did not help close any bar (though I am regretting that decision), I never wore socks during the seminar, and I am unsure about anyone's identity other than Lipman.

Lala42

08-25-2005, 11:59 AM

Big EEE it was probably your obvious wisdom that made you appear older ;-)

Titus

08-25-2005, 01:01 PM

Lala42...you were the oldest at the table...

Lala42

08-25-2005, 01:16 PM

Yes, I was the oldest at the table :roll:

titus, were you the second oldest at the table??

Titus

08-25-2005, 01:45 PM

Yes, I was the oldest at the table :roll:

titus, were you the second oldest at the table??

I don't know...I didn't ask everyone.

Titus

08-25-2005, 01:46 PM

I hate onion rings.

Is that what the fortress was for? to protect you from the onion rings?

Lala42

08-25-2005, 02:44 PM

I don't know...I didn't ask everyone.

but how do you know I was the oldest if you weren't there for the age discussion?

Titus

08-25-2005, 02:55 PM

Lala42

I wasn't the second oldest at the table :beer:

Solo

08-27-2005, 11:05 AM

I'm the one who started a new job as the seminar started...

pilotfish

08-28-2005, 11:11 PM

I believe I was the second youngest ...

lipman

08-29-2005, 08:41 AM

Is that what the fortress was for? to protect you from the onion rings?

No, the fortress was to protect me from a traitor at the table...somebody who would later betray 67A and hang out with the 67B rubble!!! (and no, calling them rubble does not indicate any envy that they had more bar attendees than 67A) :)

I'm the one who started a new job as the seminar started...

So did the flowers make the trip safely home? Or were they destroyed by less than safe driving?

lipman

08-29-2005, 08:43 AM

I believe I was the second youngest ...

Wrong table Pilotfish.

Just trying to help everybody keep everything straight.

Dinner - Bgirl, Lipman, Titus, pilotfish

Drinks - Lipman, Lala42, Leia, Titus, BigEEE

Neither - Solo, Skudo

I am pretty sure I know everybody now. Impressive that out of the 10 people I had direct contact/conversations with the last night via Dinner and/or Drinks, 6 have checked in with this thread.

Lala42

08-29-2005, 11:39 AM

Thanks Lipman, that clears things up. So I probably don't know bgirl and pilotfish.

Titus....do you have a goatee?

Titus

08-29-2005, 02:21 PM

Thanks Lipman, that clears things up. So I probably don't know bgirl and pilotfish.

Titus....do you have a goatee?

No, I have never had a goatee.

Lala42

08-29-2005, 03:35 PM

Titus, I've been assuming you're male....am I right? If not, I guess you were laughing at the goatee question, huh?

Solo

08-30-2005, 08:39 PM

So did the flowers make the trip safely home? Or were they destroyed by less than safe driving?
Hey, what are you saying about my driving?

Yes, the flowers made it home safely and actually lasted a week...

lipman

10-11-2005, 05:27 PM

This is the week right?

Anybody else nervous? Or is it just me because I wrote such a crappy paper?

Solo

10-11-2005, 08:01 PM

This is the week right?

Anybody else nervous? Or is it just me because I wrote such a crappy paper?
Sorry... I think we still have a little while to wait. According to Judy Carney's e-mail, sent right after the seminar, "Our target date to release results for the Boston seminars is October
28, 2005." ... and you aren't the only one feeling really bad about the results.

Did anyone take the pension seminar? If so, could you provide some info.

I signed up for a general seminar in Dec. since no pension seminar was available, but some feedback would help since I can always defer the seminar into next year.

I didn't take the pension seminar, but I can give you my opinion of it :)

I was in session A and we would get done at a reasonable hour every night, have a nice lunch break, etc...while we never saw any of the guys from pension. I talked with a couple of people over lunch one day who worked in the pension area, but had signed up under the general seminar because they had heard the pension side was trouble. And judging by the amount of time/work that was required of them, I would tend to agree.

bgirl414

4 more days!

Lala42

10-27-2005, 08:16 AM

1 more day!!!

Leia

10-27-2005, 10:06 AM

I just want to know already!

lipman

10-27-2005, 12:41 PM

I know how you feel...especially since I thought they were coming out 2 weeks ago!

Of course I won't have as big a reason to celebrate if I pass as some will (bgirl comes to mind).

pilotfish

10-27-2005, 12:57 PM

Hey - I'll take any victory I can muster one week away from a potential disaster on c8 ...

Titus

Yes....ASA
Titus

Leia

10-28-2005, 10:04 AM

Me too! both passing and an ASA.

BigEEE

10-28-2005, 10:06 AM

YAY! I can't believe I was as nervous as I was...but that is a good feeling...now onto cramming lists for part 8!

pilotfish

10-28-2005, 10:09 AM

outstanding ... glad I found my candidate number yesterday!

BigEEE

10-28-2005, 10:26 AM

Looks like 90 numbers out of 120 total. A 75% pass rate.

bgirl414

10-28-2005, 10:36 AM

Yee Haw!!! I am filing my initial PD plan today!!

lipman

10-28-2005, 01:37 PM

Just got word in, the weirdo (my word, not hers :D ) that met her husband on the plane passed as well. Apparently, looking forward to post-writing drinks is very crucial in passing!

*edited to add - Weirdo refers to her picking up men on a plane, not her general demeanor *

Leia

10-30-2005, 12:01 AM

Apparently, looking forward to post-writing drinks is very crucial in passing!

I think this only works for 7 though...otherwise I would be done by now.
