glenna Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Great News HS! But I have a question, how can we talk to him on Valentine's day, if the auction doesn't end until 2/23? I realize you may not know this but I am more confused than normal. Never mind, I re-read it a third time and finally comprehended.it could be a Valentine's Day gift. glenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitosmommy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 HeySailor! Mmm a phone call from Orlando, , just to hear him say hello on the other end of the line would be enough for me. Times like this I wish I had more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldi Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ahhhh! On the phone! Let's stop dreaming. for you, Jill and for him. brigitte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeySailor Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 With the time left on this auction, I rather doubt that I will win at the starting bid level. It'll take awhile for the word to get out there to someone with deeper pockets. 3 hours down, 31 days to go. ETA: It was too good to be true. He was all mine, My Precious, for 3 hours.

chitosmommy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 HeySailor, someone just bid for 275. Who ever the winner is, you started the ball rolling and no one can take that from you. Orlando's call was yours for 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I knew Orlando would get involved somehow to help the people of Haiti. So I am not surprised by this. Jill, good for you to start the bidding, that would've been awesome if you had won! I don't know how I would react if I got a phone call from Orlando! Just the thought of it is getting me all excited! Thank you Jill for letting us about this. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfla Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I wish I may I wish I might. How fun would that be to have that voice say my name?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianne Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Dang, Jill! I'm sorry you were outbid so quickly. Maybe we could start a campaign to raise some money to help you in your bid for a phone call from Orlando. I'll kick in $20! Hey, it's going to a good cause and why shouldn't a kaBloomie win?

HeySailor Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 What a kind idea, A. I'm OK with not winning; I just wanted to get the action started. With a month to go, and with increased awareness, the bids are sure to go sky high and that's the important part. I'd probably faint dead away anyhow and miss the whole conversation.

cinemapersians Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd probably faint dead away anyhow and miss the whole conversation. That made me giggle, Jill. Good for you for getting the ball rolling. :high5: Thanks for letting us know. - Pam - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Awww, and squeee! HS, thanks for bringing the news and congrats on owning that phone call for three hours! Could we - as ka-Bloomies - pool our money and then just save the phone call for the next Con? And do a speaker phone-type deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeySailor Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 As long as we're dreamin' about winning, I should mention that we could set up a telephone Conference Bridge and we all could listen in on the phone call. And then Orlando could hear the squeee, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenna Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ok sign me up! I can pony up some cash!

Geri Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hopefully the winner won't be some nutbag with deep pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Oh I hear you Geri, Orlando is taking a chance doing this, who knows who the big winner will end up being. So I am hoping and praying it is loyal fan like us. Anyways, $850 so far, that is great news! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hopefully the winner won't be some nutbag with deep pockets. If I had deep pockets, I think I might fit this description. (The nutbag part, anyway. ) That's great that it's up to $850! The more money they can raise for this, the better.

HeySailor Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hopefully the winner won't be some nutbag with deep pockets. If the winner is a nutcase, they will be at the other end of a phone call, far away from Orlando (who I'm sure will be blocking his number from the Caller ID). If I could figure out how to record the call for posterity (and repeated listening), I'd be tempted to bid again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
