wi_fighter - Your right. It would be a truly exhilarating experience to get out, meet each other and maybe have a big party or something. Sure, some of us would probably be a bundle of nerves as we were'nt quite sure what to expect or how we would handle ourselves. Some of us with deeper issues might even panic a bit but once everyone was talking and mingling and settled down, I think it would be awesome. Still not sure how travel/schedule/finance arrangements would be worked out among various people though. As for myself, I'm living from hand to mouth with no transportation at the moment (except my roommate's) but I'm not dirt poor or anything - the economy and dot com bubble thing pretty much did me in because I used to pull in a lot of money. Anyway, I guess I'm rambling now...

You guys are in the right-hand mitten. I'm in the left.
 I have dayzee, but she's indisposed at the moment. Uh, nevermind. We're both left-hand mittens. I'm in the left, left-hand mitten. __________________ If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space! Rondeau |

Ahhhhh!
 There have been a few times that I've suggested some of us getting together and I SWEAR! Not ONE response! Even told the story of when some of us from a chat room decided to get together near San Francisco. We had people from all over the US come! It was no different walking into that room than it was logging into the chat room. Everyone ran and hugged those that were coming in. It was so shocking that some already new who I was and no one had seen a pic of me! This was before we put on a tag with our screen name on it, too!  I'll never forget that "party." I've never felt so loved and accepted as I did that evening and in the following days when some of the people "shuttled" me from one town to the next where my daughter could pick me up.  (happy sigh)I can give some suggestions for any gathering of this sort, if anyone really goes through with it. Ry, be careful! These gals are just vying for you, you know! LOL  Is anyone in California???

When I was deciding on my divorce and probably going through (just 1 of) the roughest times of my life.
I met someone online. Through a support chat. She and I shared so much and she was such a support for me. She offered for me to come stay with her out in new mexico. Mind you i'm in NJ. And also I was still getting over the fact that I couldn't really drive all that far away b/c I would get too nervous. I decided I was gonna buy a ticket and fly out there...lol. My family definately thought this was my final crack up. I flew to St. Louis. Took a connecting flight. Onto New Mexico. Stayed with her and her family for 12 days. It was pretty amazing and worked out great. So imagine the possibilities. Heck if I'm in the right frame of mind I just might even fly out further west.  ... lol

Just a though. Since we all seem to be so far away from each other (and other issues), how would it be if we had a virtual reunion using an instant messaging client, netmeeting, a 3D client or even a webcam script installed on this site?. We could perhaps do that for starters and we would get to see and hear the people we were talking to in "real life". Web cam scripts - many are free and easy to install. I have a web cam and mic myself. Anyone else have a webcam and/or mic?. Maybe we could all plan to do this once a week or once a month or something. Just an idea. What dio you people think?

Tomi, people had better go through with it. I'd hate to get all these responses for nothing. Besides, the Detriot/Holly chapter already had 2 members. Meeting times and places TBA
I hope this works for some areas. I think it would be cool.Ry |

GG, that's a wicked idea. You should PM that to Doc John in case he doesn't see it. WAY COOL!!! I'm definately down with that.

No way could I do web cam. My messy house is too much of an embarrassment. There's nowhere to point it that clutter wouldn't be in the picture.

Ummm... it's still "virtual." There's nothing like a real live hug, a real live smile, etc.
But maybe for some, it would be easier... __________________ Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I was planning on going to Branson this summer just to go shopping and maybe meet Ozzie but due to the fact my car guzzles the gas and prices are getting outrageous I can't afford it.

Well Ry, I was trying to stay away from here for a few days to get myself together but you have managed to reel me back in with your brillance. Your suggestion is one of the best I have ever heard. I for one, would find the experience of meeting up with you guys absolutly wonderful. How great would that be? I'm excited just thinking about it. I picture as a semi-annual affair. A weekend long event to include different activities and one big PAR-TAY!!! LOL.
