I `m curious to know if some members would like to get together for breakfast & a chit chat maybe once a month on a weekend, this might serve as a bridge between meetings for the ones that suffer withdrawal symptoms :), any ideas or suggestions welcome, please post your interest here.
Regards
If schedules and location worked out I would love to attend!

No I`m not , but i know a few resto that do @ a fair price ;)
I can't go on Sundays, Saturday mornings work better for me.
But I would love to go any day except Tuesday, as sitting at home waiting for the end of November to get here, sucks!~
Yeah that would be a good idea. I'd be in once in a while if it worked with my schedule.

Rumor has it that Rideau Carleton Casino has a sweet deal on Sat. mornings , can anyone share their experiences there. ;)
I like the idea. Personally Saturday mornings are better than Sunday mornings for me and I travel by bicycle (yes all year long) so I won't be cycling out to the Raceway in the winter. I am sure someone would offer a ride if that is where we decide to go. In fact, I think an OC Transpo bus might go there...I'd have to check.
I love cooking breakfasts ;D
But I'm game to go for breakfast! Depending where the breakfast will be held, I can offer a ride to people
What about Dunn's downtown? Cheap and pretty good.

I was there once for dinner and was very unimpressed and disappointed, I dont know the breakfast there, but personally I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.
breakfast sounds good, for satursdady or sunday. that would be a good start for a weekend, else , i'' waste it, by sleeping till 2 in the afternoon.
count me in, but location has to be convience. (near OC transpo. route)
-a
That would be nice will wait and see where and when ;)
Looks like there is some interest , would you guy`s name some places , so far we have Rideau Carleton, Dunn's.
It also so looks like Saturday is a better day for most.What would be a good time ( remember this is breakfast :D)
One thing to keep in mind is that we will likely want to dawdle over our meal and there needs to be room to expand and contract as we go. When I go out for cheap bacon and eggs I go to "philly's and wings" at Bank and Lisgar. there are tables that would hold 5 or 6 adults and the breakfast is less than $5....also it is an all day, everyday breakfast.
That's my $5 worth ;D
I am downtown all day during the week so I will be avoiding here on the weekends. Coras has pretty good breakfast but good luck actually getting a table. seems like everyone and their brother go there on the weekend
Dennys and Perkins show potential
Here are some places i`ve had breakfast with pretty good food , service & space.
Summerhays - Basline & Woodruffe
Chances are ( I think ?) - Baseline & Woodruffe
Southside Diner - former Rocking Johnny @ Heron gate mall
Broadways - Prince of Wales & Fisher
Rockin Johnny -Kanata
Any other suggestion`s , keep in mind if we go , it would have to be a place that can accommodate a fairly big group on a walk in
Quote from: artw on November 07, 2007, 03:26:16 PM
Dennys and Perkins show potential
Unless you like it when your eggs and coffee are the same flavour and consistency, stay away from the Denny's! They have lots of seating and mass quantities, but that's about it.
please no Denny's or Rockin Johnny's. :-\
Rideau Carleton Racetrack has decent food and the price is unbeatable...$1.99 if you get their winner's circle card (about 5 minutes in line). They have 3 choices for that speacial rate, one is bacon,eggs, sausage and hashbrowns, another is french toast and I think the third option is the western sandwich...I am not sure what else is offered outside of the $1.99 breakfast. But I do know they have tonnes of space and it is usually only moderately busy.
I know Pat was planning on organizing something like and has been feeling out peoples interest as they come by the house, glad you brought it up :)
Seems like lots of people are interested :) Sould be alot of fun :)
Anyone interested in a greasy spoon?
There's a restaurant over near Merivale and Hunt Club that charges $4.85 for breakfast and all the coffee you can drink, it's small but will hold most of us, 20 or 30.
The place is called Fitz's
Ok guy`s & girls , who is in favor of going to breakfast on Sat. Nov. 10 @ Summerhays Restaurant ( Basline & Woodruff very close to the transit station) & easy access off the Queensway @ 10 AM please LMK & I can finalize it on Fri. 12.00 ( Noon).BTW their prices start from 3.00 - approx 10.00 & they take reseverations.
http://canada411.yellowpages.ca/bus/Ontario/Ottawa/Summerhays-Grill/2560161.html
If I don't have to work I'm there. I won't know until Friday afternoon though (my client is in TO until then)
For the people who would like to participate & Can`t post in the Lounge , please feel free to PM me.
Regards
Count me in :)
Any others ? or any other suggestions, let`s hear them.
Sorry I can't do it this Saturday. I'm in a hockey tournament this weekend and we have a game that morning. Maybe next time!
Jeff
I think I can make it.
well if we're west ending it...I guess I'll go to work for a couple hours in the morning before breakfast :P so if anyone wants a ride from the east end (St Laurent area)...you can sit with me in the office and play on the computer (or talk to me! LOL) while I do some filing for an hour or so ;)

She's right. The best would have more cherries on top. ;D
That was just dessert :)
Nice to see you everybody.
Yeah, my hubby got something like that (it was french toast topped with bananas and peanut butter, topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce!). He's still on a sugar rush!!! ;D
Great turn out and lots of fun for all.
It was great to see so many fishy people having breakfast , chatting & having a good time, we doubled the turn out of the first one , thanks to all who came out , hope we can double todays turn out next time. Oh the brekky of the day was French toast in 3 different styles ummmmmmmmmmm., Here are some snap shots
[attachment deleted by admin]
Maybe we should have it at the Chateau Laurier next time, as we are growing so fast. ::) ::) ;) ;) :)
Summerhay's has pretty good breakfast selection, that is for sure! While I couldn't quite handle whipped cream and chocolate that early in the day like Mila and Mr. Vizerdrix, my french toast and fruit was tasty. Next time, I think I will try the Wonder Woman breakfast :)
Some more pics of breakfast at Summerhays!

Yup, had a great time! Now, what was all this about DNA? I forgot to ask Art last evening!
hahaha you don't want to know about the DNA conversation! ;)
That's what you guys keep telling me, but I'm curious (ie, NOSY!). :)
I`m so happy to hear everyone had a good time, thanks to all the people who made it out for the first time , please do post your expereince here & hope to see you all again, also thanks to all the regulars for returning.

Charlie, can we move it to Florida for me, please?
I'll keep my DNA stories to myself.

Thanks Nerine, wow who woke Art up?
Ok guy`s , due to the suggestion by Dan 2x38( i think it`s a good one ), how do the folks think about having the breakfast on the Sat. of March 1 st. We can then host our visitors from Nova Scotia, who is making the long drive to our auction on March 2 nd , this will give them & us a great opportunity to meet with each other in a non hectic bidding atmosphere ;). . Lets hear your views
http://ovas.ca/index.php?topic=25404.0
I'm game!!
I may or may not be there due to work but will try!!
The first is fine with me, I've offered a ride to two of the down-easterners if they wanted it and I'm going to see if Jodes22 is going and maybe she can give the other two a lift.
we just need an address and a time and we will see you all there. What time of the morning do you meet?
Quote from: charlie on February 11, 2008, 03:12:36 PM
Thanks Nerine, wow who woke Art up?
He probably slept there!
Can't be there the first, have some new furniture being delivered.
Wondering if I got the location of the breakfast place correctly mapped here - can some let me know?

Yep you are right on the money there, Vanier is in greater Ottawa, you will be about 8-10 mins from the auction & very close to the main down town hub.
Can't guarantee anything here. If I do make it, it will be with my whole clan (me, hubby, three kids). I'll have to see the closer we get to the date.
Latios & I will be there but drinking water & eating sugar packs to save $$$ for the auction... LMAO Be nice to sit with some Homies! We can drive 2 of the Eastern Crew there but we might be leaving a little early so they would need a drive back.
Hey Brine need a lift too?

I'll be there with Magic cards in hand.
i'll bring mine too!
this thread makes me hungry :D
mmm breakfast. ovas benedict!
Hehe.
I said NO MAGIC CARDS!!!!!!
Damn I might miss it our mechanic is getting our car in between 9-10... well that tells the story...
Looks like I will make it, and with my two girls. :)
I'll be there! mmm french toast! LOL
I think we overrule you matt :D MAGIC CARDS!!!! ;)
Magic cards...at breakfast...ummm, I would vote no on that one :)
I am surprised they would be willing to risk their precious precious cards getting breakfast gunk on them! ::)
I like magic.. just not for breakfast :P
Yep
Sounds like a plan; my daughter likes french toast.
keith
I really enjoyed the company this past breakfast and will upload the photos as soon as I can!!!
BUT the thing I did not like...my meal was only 3 dollars...I gave the waitress a 10$ bill...asked her for my change and she gave me only ONE dollar back!!! and she was REALLY rude and said "well where is my tip?" I ended up giving her $2 to stop her complaining which is one heck of a tip for a 3$ plate lol
OMG!! Since when did waitresses get so cocky that they don't give change and demand tips?! Too bad we can't request the ones we like :)
I think I'll make a motion to have the next breakfast occur anywhere except Summerhays.

See your to nice I would have given her a penny and asked to speak to the manager.

If a waiter/waitress mentions tips, I don't leave ANY.
As for having it somewhere else, why? One bad apple doesn't mess up the whole thing. I like Summerhays, even if it is a bit far. Although, there's a really nice little restaurant just off Innes between St-Laurent and Startop called Stan's Diner. Mila should know the place, it's just around the corner from his garage. Good old fashioned food, good prices.
the thing is, the food at summerhays isn't even that great. or at least the stuff I've ordered isn't, anyway. whenever I talk to anyone at the breakfast the always say the service is predictably awful. Not sure why we keep going back. I won't be, anyway.
Thing is I cant imagine it being easy to find a place on a weekend that would host the whole lot of us.
Besides I think that the crappy waitress makes it a bit of an adventure ;) good stories to tell everyone who missed it.
Plus I could care less about the waitress as long as I get my food, I go to See everyone from OVAS it doesn't really matter to me where it is! :D

I second that Cora!! :)
I agree Cora they do put up with us. Next time just order toast & coffee give exact change... leave 2 cents... ::)
I really enjoyed the food, and the company, and the service was not so bad for me.
I'm sorry you had a hard time there from the server. I know that when I get bad service it usually gets me quite riled up.

Isn't that the truck stop?
Gee, if it was there, I could walk there, not that I would though. ;)
I'll go where ever the OVAS group is.
The main reason for going to Summerhay`s are ( I asked the opinions of the people that came regularly to the first few breakfast)
It is pretty much central coming from all ends of town( East, West ,South & North)
Easy access by Bus (OC Transit within walking distance)
Easy access from the Q/way
can easily seat 50 people in one room ( without having to line up & wait for seating)
Price range from approx 3.50 - ??
quality & variety of food from my experience is not too bad
Room ambiance is decent ( there are better ones out there for sure , but try getting them to seat everyone together + plus the last minute walk in)
I agree , there is one waitress , that can get edgy ( But there is a easy solution to that, others have mentioned already)
But hey , i will be happy to go somewhere else that fits the above pros.
If we were to call the restaurant and tell the manager that we would prefer she not be our server. If asked why then the manager will be told about what we think of her service. Every other waitress I've ever noticed there has been nice to us and competant. Maybe they would appreciate deserving tips.
What about Rockwells in that mall on Merivale as an alternative? I used to go there when I had to start work at 5am at Best buy. My one and only bus dropped me off 30 minutes early and I hung out there cradling my bottomless coffee :)
I agree she sounded rude, but I differ on the tip amounts. Inexpensive breakfasts always skew tips and IMO 20% of a cheap dish doesn't work out right.
A $4 breakfast still needs an order taken, a trip for coffee, a trip for the meal, a trip for the coffee refill (although we had it on the table), a trip to make sure everything is okay, the subsequent trip for ketchup or whatever was missing, and a trip for the bill. 20% of such a meal is only $0.80 which I think would be an extremely low tip for that much back and forth.
All that said, she sounded rude. If it's the same server we had when I joined you, although I didn't have any particular issue with her, she didn't seem thrilled to be there.
I don't mind tipping, I'm usually a generous tipper as long as service is good! I even tip the gas attendants and they always seem surprised at the amount I give them for filling up the car (it seems people tend not to tip them!) Just don't ask for a tip or get snippy.
I don't mind summerhays just her! maybe she really hates working saturday's but has to! who knows! or maybe she also doesn't realize how she comes across.
I'll go wherever the group goes :) I like our secluded room at summerhays. though it is far ;) but have to keep in mind we have people coming from all over hehehe prices are ok too...though we could all road trip to Picasso's....I can fit 4 other people in my car..... ;D Split the cost of gas and stop at some montreal aquatic places along the way ;)
hehe OVAS breakfast in Montreal. We do that twice a year already! :D

It would be nice to have a waitress who doesn't scowl at us! We give her lots of work but we are a fun friendly group nobody gives her a hard time. I'm pretty sure she just got confused about how much you owed her but asking for a tip that was outrageous.
I love their homefries and their brockworst sausages. :)
Montreal would be fun. :)
I like it there and I did not notice anything wrong with the waitress or her attitude. Perhaps she was just having a bad day.
Not to do any thread-jacking (heaven forbid, I wouldn't do that!), but by the looks of your avatar, Brine, you've had a few bad days. ;) ;) :)
Is there going to be a next breakfast at Summerhays or has it been moved somewhere else?
i vote for summerhays - and keep track of any issues with the server
I vote Summerhays too, when i made reservations sometime back the owner booked the room until April for us , so as far as i know it`s Summerhays on the second Saturday of April @10.30 ( April 12th), the idea then was to have it on the second Saturday of every month at the same place , same time, it was only moved in March to allow us to meet & greet with our brave visitors from the ECAS.Maybe others might have more input.

Summerhayes works for me especially when I can get drives and the extra after word of being taken to pet stores in the west end. :)
Is there going to be a breakfast at Summerhays in April?
looks like april 12th...
I won't be able to make it this time :(
Looks like we have a reservation (http://ovas.ca/index.php?topic=22081.msg177642#msg177642).
where was that link supposed to go?

Will miss it again... Latios' hockey calls first. We got a parents against the kids shinney game. Later in the after the kids have the team party then the season is done. 8) we made it... ::)
We plan on coming to meet you all in a less 'official' place and maybe chat a little bit and get to know people better.
hubby and I actually might be able to make it :)

Thanks Charlie for being the heavy. :)
Just wanted to say wow!! this was the LONGEST breakfast we've had yet!! I think we left at about 12:45ish or so??
service was pretty good, couldn't complain! and good turn out :)
It was nice meeting the new people out to breakfast!! :) Cant wait till next time!
This was our last pre-booked reservation at Summerhay's. Christine (vizerdrix) took a poll and it was unanimous (I think) that we continue to meet there. I am sure she will post the details soon.
I had a great time a breaky this morning. Meet some great new people and of course got to talk with some great already known people. :)
Well, pretty close to unanimous, anyhow! :)
Since Charlie couldn't make it, he asked me to query the attendance (which was over 20, if I remember well) about continuing to meet there. I've made the arrangements with the owner, and we are booked for the same time for the next 6 months!
I had a blast, and even though we left a bit earlier (my daughter now has a nice Prom dress!) I enjoyed my time there as per usual.
Thanks everyone for making this yet another successful event! And thanks to the "new" people who braved the unknown to meet us! ;)
That was brilliant. I'm so glad, I decided to come. What a wonderful chat, great people, good food and quite decent service. Can't wait until the next one. :D

Thanks Christine , nice to hear everyone had a blast & the service issue was resolved, i`m elated that this monthly breakfast get together is growing each month, who knows we might be averaging 50 - 60 soon :D.Hope someone took some pics, this hobby can be so enjoyable away from our tanks ;).

Between car issues, sickness, & Latios' hockey we've missed a few. Today was the last game & the team party so hockey is done for about 4.5 months... LOL We should be go for the next one... <:crossing fingers:>

Thanks Nerine I will take your offer for a lift and a fish store. :)
If you are up to it you can bring the stuff you have for me and I will have monies for the monitor.

You'll still be able to come to meetings and such, won't you? :(
Thanks you guys Im gonna miss everyone... Hopefully Ill be able to keep chatting
Chris.. its all going to depend on the gas prices!!! If they keep up like this I doubt Im going to be making it back very much. :( I know Pembroke isnt really that far.. but it is far enough starving student and all LOL :P So I guess Ill say I probably wont make it to the meetings that way if I do show up it will be a nice surprise LOL
I'm going to miss breakfast a lot! I'll have to find a good breakfast restaurant and have my own OVAS breakfasts LOL
OVAS Pembroke chapter, hehe
we could always bring breakfast to you :P
If the weather is nice who is in favour of enjoying breakfast & the company on the patio ;)
I am, but it is supposed to rain!! if there isn't any rain, I'm game :)
Patio sounds nice. im game too.

Folks as it turns out , the breakfast is in the special room we have reserved ;), The restaurant prefers to have us self contained :D ;D, just makes it easier for them .
hahahaha self contained ;)
I think, perhaps hubby actually MIGHT join us!!! he won't be this invisible guy anymore ;)
Quote from: fischkopp on June 13, 2008, 09:22:27 AM

Yes I agree
Robert... you smokers would survive for an hour or so, you do at work... :D ::) ;) Actually I don't mind if you smoke -
just don't exhale! 8) LMAO
Charlie so far looks like
Latios and me will be there.
Nerine what time is the pick up down stairs? :)
Lil forgot to leave me an address of where she lives so I don't know if I will be able to pick up her stuff afterwards. ::)
I will have to phone you!! plans have changed! we might be late for breakfast or we might be a tad early! LOL
hubby works till MAYBE 10, he said he might be off before that...I hate leaving things so in the air! but it will depend on his work schedule!
see ya'll tomorrow :)
Anyone bring any trading goods? I'll bring some of my bronze cyrpts.
Nerine just call before you leave the house I'll meet you downstairs.
I now have Lil's address to pick up the stuff if that's okay with you.
Could you bring the pump my snails need extra oxegen. :)
I have a bit of java moss to give away and will bring some small pond snails if anyone wants them for their loaches or other.

http://canada411.yellowpages.ca/bus/Ontario/Ottawa/Summerhays-Grill/2560161/Map.html?adid=01125710
See you all there :D
WOW , what a breakfast today, i`m guessing this is the best thus far, both in numbers( head count of 32) & the social mingling today, hope Mila post those captured moments, thanks to all who made it especially the first timers such as chinaman, & the Jr Big Momma & Jr BigDaddys ;), again thanks all & see you again on July 12th.
I will be uploading photos later!! it was amazing to see everyone today!! yay!!!
and it was great meeting new people too :)
and I must say...the waitress was again the one who was a bit short in the beginning our visits there....she was a bit cranky in the morning with people, but she was VERY chatty and happy later on which is very good!
I'll have to post photos of everyone tonight when I go downstairs :)
Yes, what an amazing turnout!! I think I was last to get there and there was only 2 seats left in our designated area :) Nerine, if you and I had brought our hubbys, it would have been a full house!!
I had a lot of fun...as I usually do :)
Some "captured moments"

Thanks for posting Mila , nice shots
It was a great breakfast, I had a blast! Noise level was high for a time, until the food got there. ;)
It was nice to see the new faces, as well as the usual ones. Thanks for posting the pictures Mila!
Anyone take any pictures?

Terry , i think it`s time to start up a tank again ;)
Mila posted the pictures he took about 2 post before yours.( post # 288)
I also took a bunch of photos...but can't find my usb to hook it up oops!! that's what happens when we move the office ;) hopefully I'll come across it while we finish unpacking everything!
It would be nice if some of use could go for lunch insted, and get some Udon soup and Spring rolls from temptation tea its to die for

That sounds very good also. Where is temptation tea?
We have SummerHayes booked for the summer.
I think the breakfast thing is a great idea. The only day I and my wife have off is on a sunday as we man the store the rest of the week.
Finally for the cord to my camera :D
These are from our last fantastic breakfast! :) Enjoy!

have to point this out....what is Art doing in the first two photos?? thought breakfast was supposed to be magic free ;)
Lol...maybe he needs a "Magic Addicts" support group ;D
Technically, he was doing the same thing in the third one, as he's talking to my son about... MAGIC!
<sigh> It's an addiction, I swear. I think Fishnut is right about the support group. ;)
*I* was good, and didn't talk about Guild Wars! :D
Great pics Alysa. Thanks :)
Sooooo, when's the next breakfast?
Hopefully, it on a Saturday that I'm not doing anything!

Can't make it Latios' swimming classes start again Sat. 10:30 - 11:45 - likely everyone would be gone by then.
Hello I live at the corner of St Laurent and Smyth I was wondering if anybody could give me a lift to breakfast. I can meet at St. Laurent Shopping Center to.
Forget it Nerine!! :) I don't trust you to be able to make it. ;D ;D
hahaha don't worry ;) I'm not driving at this point!!
Wouldn't want to get the seat wet! ;) ;D
I plan on going if none of my clients are requiring my attention...no certainties there considering the week I've had. I can pick you up at the mall Joyce...and I can pick you up on the way as well Alysa if you promise not to have your water break on my car seat :). I'll PM you guys friday night to confirm.

Thanks for the pics Errol. We look good! :)
Vizy thanks again for the drive!
I really enjoyed breakfast this morning, it was very entertaining & really set the tone for the day, thanks for coming out guys.
Hey I know Breakfast is always good but does anyone want to go for lunch to temptation tea and try some suishi or asian dishes ( im dying for some udon and spring rolls).
And they also serve icecream+ there very well priced I can get a huge bowl of udon for 8$ Not even one of my friends who has an endless gut could finish the whole bowl. ( I had to help lol).
Whattya think?
Something special this month! Please see:

Thank you all for the gifts :D We had a good time! :) Virgil also slept thru grocery shopping whew!!
Then we came home and he and I slept till 5! LOL
What a good baby sleeping all that time for you Nerine :)
Vergil is so cute and makes the most wonderful entertaining faces when he is sleeping. :)
Charle thanks for the ride!
Of course another wonderful OVAS breakfast with great company.

Thanks to all who joined us for breakfast , good food , good folks, was extra special meeting Virgil & heck we met Dad too :D.
Looking forward to our next gathering on the 13th of Sept.same place , same time ;)
Don't forget folks, next breakfast is this Saturday, the 13th of September!
Hope to see you all there!
next saturday ;) this saturday is the 3rd!!
Quote from: Nerine on September 03, 2008, 09:03:42 PM

You mean the 6th :p
Alright, you guys have got me all confused. *THIS* Saturday should be the one coming up, not the past one, and *Next* Saturday should be the one after that, no?
Remember, I may sound perfectly English but I grew up in a totally French environment, and this is one of the things I never got my head around for some odd reason. ;)
Next is whatever is closess to being. So that would also be this Saturday.
But when you bring it up your way makes more sense but than I to grew up in a french household. :D
Quote from: beowulf on November 07, 2007, 12:47:29 PM
What about Dunn's downtown? Cheap and pretty good.
Yep as I live near there too would make it easier. I am a messy eater .. Syrup everywhere so bring rain coats.
Dunn's would be closer for me too but there isn't a lot of parking.
haha :P
2nd saturday ? that work ? :P
I've never been to Dunn's...it's closer for me too!!
The only problem with changing venue is that some people will not read this thread and automatically show up at SummerHayes. :P
And the fact that we have reservations there for several more months to go.
I *like* Summerhays. They have good food, and I can have breakfast for less than $5. :)
well we can't go changing things up all the time...otherwise there could be a week or few where we can't get a room! or enough table space for everyone!!
maybe we should try a lunch once in awhile :) and the lunch can be done elsewhere!
That's an idea Nerine
Not sure if this a thread-jack but why not a wing night? Lots of places have half price wings or appetizers. Could even try and do it for NHL opener... ;)
Wings. :)
please start a new thread ;-)
It is with deepest regrets that I announce that I shall not be able to make it to breakfast this morning...
I caught a nasty cold and it settled in my lungs (yet again!) so my asthma has been in overdrive. Probably borderline pneumonia again. :(
Hope everyone has fun!

Aww! Dorrie we missed you. Thought maybe you got over burden with you studies or maybe had the awful flue.
If don't see you before next meeting good luck with your studies. :) :)
I'll try to make it in!
Silly bus strike!! Anyone going my way from St Laurent/Smyth to SummerHayes?
As I will be preparing for the OVAS Christmas Party, I don't think I'll make it this time. :( BUT, I hope to see many of you at my place that evening!!! :D
I'm going to breakfast! I have room for ONE more person as long as they are close/on the way :)
Yeah! I'm going to breaky!! Thanks Nerine. :) :) :)
I'd love to come, as always. Let's just hope that the busses will run again, I guess.
I've been thinking of you Anja with this bus strike. I hope it's over or I won't be seeing you a breaky. :P
Well, I baked cookies instead.
If they keep this strike up as long as last time, we'll be stranded almost until the snow melts. Wish they'd picked some other season than winter, so one could at least bike places without fighting one's way through at least a foot of snow, getting honked off the road or run over. </rant>
We missed you. :P Silly Silly bus stike!!

Hmmm... The forum seems to have eaten my reply. Bad forum!
This being said, *teehee*, thanks. :-) In honor of Ovas, we distributed little birthday hats to our pond fishies and invited them to join the "Happy B-day" chorus. And, of course, the frogs couldn't gelp themselves but join the fun as well. All in all, it was a smashing b-day bash. :-D

Since this is thanksgiving weekend, are you folks up for breakfast or should we pass until Nov.??
Personally i`m unavailable.
Tentative 50:50
I'm going and I'm pretty sure Anja is to.
Sorry, busy weekend. Got to get ready for the hordes coming for the weekend.
I may or may not be there...it depends on if hubby is working or not!

James
Not sure I'm going to be able to make it since I'm on call, but I will try!
Hope to see you Dorrie. :)
It's the second Saturday tomorrow. Who's coming to breakfast?
I was wondering if this was only for OVAS members?
I won't be there because I'll be stuck at work. I'd rather be going to the breakfast though instead.

Nope, anyone can come. You're welcome to join us. :)
Anyone going to Breakfast at SummerHayes tomorrow Sat Jan 9th. It's the second Saturday of the month. Hope someone is going. 8)
I'm going to go, that is if I don't get a call from work later today.
I should be there.
My assassins are asking if you'll be bringing pond snails. ;D
I'd go, but am without wheels for a bit! Sylvia are you going??
I'm afraid your pond snails will have to wait until the ex meeting. ::)
Alysa we will pick you up at some time after 10:00. Okay! :) Will even make room for Virgil.
we missed your call!! baby was up all night so I chucked the phone out of the room early this morning! we're sorta awake now haha
Hi Nerine we wimped out of going it was -30 with the windchill this morning. Didn't want to venture out and figure the car wouldn't want to start.
Did anyone else go?
Well, yes. Erin and I were there. Waiting until eleven, then ordered, worried that you were all piled up with the car somewhere. I'm glad you're all ok.
I am sorry Erin and Anja! :-[ :-[ I was a wimp this morning and Alysa didn't get my message until later because baby was up all night.
Where have all the breakfast people gone?? ???
Hope people start going again though this morning it might have been a bit hard to start their cars.
I'm without wheels or I would have gone despite baby being up all night haha!!
Not sure where all the breakfast people are??? I do miss going, it's been awhile, due to being out of town or family in town on the weekends breakfast happens!!
Maybe we should start now in rounding up people to go ;)
Good idea. We have a lot of new people who would probable like to come given more notice. ;)
Excellent idea about rounding up new people for the breakfast. I try to go to them when I'm not scheduled to work
I'm in for the next, it'll be my first.
I am in as well :)

Ahhh, which Summer Hays is it at?! I've never heard of the place...
Also, I live in Kanata and if anyone needs a ride, I have room for 2.
Summer Hayes is at 1971 Baseline across from the Super Loblaws and near Algonquin College.
Very good it will be good to see some new faces and to have have the old crowd back also. :)

Unfortunately, as I have said before, I won't be able to make it to the next one due to the fact that I'll be working that saturday.

Sooooo, anyone up for a pink-infused, heart-shaped, goooey, fishy Valentine's breakfast?
Or are we skipping February?
I'm going to be there hell or high water!!! Because if I don't show up I'll be in BIG trouble. ;) :)
*lol* You bet. ;D
I'm going!! I have to be out and about saturday anyways :D
Virgil is coming with me! and a couple other people :)
I won't be there. I'll be stuck at work tomorrow wishing that I was at the breakfast.
Wow, got the "no posts in 30 days" warning ;D
It's high time people start posting breakfast reminders, so I'll start with heading my own advice ;)
The informal OVAS members breakfast will be held this Saturday, May 8 (that's right, the day before Mother's Day, say hi to the moms you know!) at 10:30 AM at Summerhayes, 1971 Baseline Road, Ottawa.
Hope to see you out there!
P.S. To the young lady that requested the plant at the meeting, I fully intend to be there (unless prevented by work, one never knows) and bring you some.

*g* That was kinda the point. ;oP
It was fun, even though there were only three of us. What happened to everyone else who said they'd come?
Awe...what 3?
Breakfast is tomorrow!
See you there!
(And by there I mean Summerhayes, 1971 Baseline Road, at 10:30 AM)
We'll be there then. :D
For the uninitiated, this is an informal gathering of hobbyist , family & friends that convene the second Saturday of the month at Summerhay`s Restaurant at 10.30 AM, it`s a great opportunity to chat & get to know the people you share your aquatic experiences with on the forum while enjoing breakfast.

Welllll I was supposed to be there!!!!!!! BUT turns out we're having a last minute birthday party for all the July birthdays (and there's a lot in this family, 3 in our household!) tomorrow...So will miss you guys again :( But have fun!!!!!
Hi everyone - I saw this too late, so it looks like I missed my chance to join the July breakfast club :-)
I was a late-joining member last year, and by the time I started to get into the club, the meetings stopped for the summer!
I'd be glad to see if I could join a few of you for breakfast, though.... !
I assume that the next breakfast will be 2nd Saturday in August?
Be warned: I'm a newbie at fishkeeping, and I'm still at the stage where I think they are all beautiful, but I'm failing to keep them alive for long... :-) I'll be keen for advice! Plus, pancakes.
cheers!
Daisy
Hope to meet you at the next breakfast. I had trouble keeping fish alive the first started this hobby until I met the folks on OVAS. Most of my fish I have have been with me for over two years now. :)
I going to the OVAS Breakfast at Summerhayes, 1971 Baseline, at 10:30. All welcomed, members and non. Saturday 14 of August.
Hope to see yous there. :)
Next breakfast is tomorrow, Saturday, September 11th.
The time is 10:30, the place is Summerhayes Grill (1971 Baseline).
Bring a mate, bring a friend, but leave the fish in the tank!
I was thinking of going! Oh my god that's tomorrow morning. See you Dorrie!!
Wish I could go! Was really hoping for this time around, but I have a table with Avon tomorrow morning!
Have fun everyone and I'll see you at the meetings!
Me and washefuzzy won't be at breakfast tomorrow.... :-[

I can't make it. I'm in Almonte tomorrow. Hope to see you at the meeting, though.
Breakfast is Saturday!!! Anyone going?? I'm going to see if Hubby is interested in going.....
If you're going we'll go :)
We'll be doing fall clean-up and getting the tropicals out of the pond before they melt. Nights are getting chilly, and the weather is supposed to be nice for outside work. Who knows if there'll be another opportunity before first frost.
That is very true Anja!!
I won't be able to make it because the next paycheck isn't until November!
Just wondering if anyone is going to breakfast tomorrow morning. If anyone is, I'll go.
Sorry, I won't be able to make it this month :(
