Mr. Peanut! :towel


In all seriousness, I agree. We need to somehow get a green balloon to this man.

Boom. Ignore the fact that the website looks like it was built in 1995, it looks like this is the way to go if you really want to do it. They can put together a balloon bouquet for his wife and we can have them include one single green balloon specifically for Skid. He would probably get a kick out of it. Maybe we could have them write something like "Never flinched" or something in it with a Sharpie?

I will coordinate something along these lines.

Not sure I would do a balloon bouquet for the wife. Just seems like something you would do for a child but I could be wrong about that. I like the idea of the green ballon but think we should stick with a flower bouquet for Mrs. Skid.

I would imagine one of the floral delivery places would accommodate a request for a single green balloon with a flower delivery. Looking at $50 on up for a bouquet of flowers delivered though so that will cut into the PF Chang's money a bit. I think it would be really nice though. I'll pitch in a little more money if we go that route.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

I can pitch in some extra money if needed.

I will come up with a budget this weekend so we will know if any more money is needed.

Hopefully we can have this delivered by the end of next week.

Agree. Let's not lose track of the nature of this event.

Was out all week, but got my little grain of salt in now.
Props for making this happen, but there will be a deduction if the green balloon doesn't materialize.

Ok we have 350.00.

Nice arrangements seem to be in the 75 dollar area, so that's about 265 left for a gift card after tax.

That's 25 dollars a piece for 10 people.

Also I don't know how to get the gift card and arrangement delivered at the same time, I can have both sent the flowers the same day but I don't know how long it will take for the gift card to get there.

Any ideas?

Did we decide not to do the green balloon? I think that would give him a good laugh, and they both need that right now.

I would drop the flower arrangement and do the food items. Green balloon? Don't care.
