I second that motion. . . I think they should put the "what's a dingbat" in the welcome email they send out , explaining who and what we are, however the who and what would be an email all in itself.

OK, I'm sure everyone else already knows this, but tell me what makes you guys dingbats?

Actuallyl, I thin Melody gives the best answer on this one, especially since she was an "original" Dingbat.

But I'll try to satisfy your curiosity until she comes in with a more clear answer.

The Dingbats were originally a group of people who met up in Pensacola FL who found common ground when the "Ding"  became a "visible ding". When the light started coming on for the whole group, they all began to have understanding of hidden meanings and inside jokes and all around goofiness, the ding was visible everywhere and they became the Dingbats.
The group decided to stay in touch via GP and here they are were. 

The Dingats were once thought to be a group of Floridians, but there was one in Texas and one in Indiana, then others wanted to be dingy...... er, ummmm, I mean, join the Dingbats, so now the Dingbats are from all over the states, and could become worldwide Dingbattiness.

Most of the Dingbats know each other in person, but many of them no longer post here and others have been adopted or didn't want to be adopted and became honorary Dingbats (truthfully, I think they are in Dingbat denial). So the commonality between the Dingbats? That remains to be the unanswered question.  Maybe Melody can help there. 

Ok..the Dingbats...

Yeah, in Aug of 2004, Justin and I went to Pensacola and met up with some friends of ours and went to Singles conference. We had a blast! And I took like 4 hours worth of hilarious video! It was awesome! During the course of the weekend, there were TONS of blonde moments provided by Jolene and Tiffany, and a few by my own self...when the light bulb did finally appear, we would shout "DING!" There are a few of those moments actually caught on the tape...

When the weekend was over, I convinced Jolene to join GP, and she did, Tiffany did too, but she fell by the wayside, and never posted after the first week. But Jolene was a staple here for quite awhile. She has since deserted us, but I will tell her to come back and make an appearance and post the picture of the 7 original Dingbats when I talk to her tomorrow. We made a thread here when we got back, and we called it the "Florida Dingbats" Thats how the name was born.

Since then, there have been many people here that we have convinced to become a Dingbat, but none have stuck around...Justin and I are the only remaining original ones that still post, with guest appearances by Jolene...like the one she will make tomorrow.

If I can ever get the Dingbat video on DVD, I will be posting the highlights of it on YouTube, and yall will have some awesome stuff to laugh at.

There yall go... TWO explainations.

Yup! I ate a late lunch with Jonathan and Sissy yesterday, at Olive garden, then they came over to the house and we watched old videos and looked at pictures and then played Scrabble. Then we were gonna go to dinner, but the place we wanted was closed and we were not all that hungry anyway, so we parted ways...but I felt the baby move a LOT.

And Jonathan... Here is your N can you PLEASE take your turn now?
