I am curious to know how many of you, would actually meet face to face with other members of the forums

So please take this poll and let us know :)

YES.......I would love to be able to actually meet the people that I have bonded with.

It is possible that we could have more fun in person then on the forums.................

it sure is possible!!!! your place or mine? but i will have to clean first, if it's at my place, no, first I have to move. I'll let you know after the movers leave. :faint:

What am I thinking??? :foot:


okay, lets meet, but some nice place out-a-town. :rolleyes:

I have met up with other people who I had been in contact with through other ADD related internet activities. I also me my husband in a non-ADD related chatroom almost 10 years go. So meeting up with people I met online isn't new to me...

ditto tara! I met ppl from a stop smoking forum. One of them has become a very close, lifelong friend.

I would love to meet ppl from this forum. I imagine that it would be the most random, hilarious, and interesting conversations in the world!!!

already done it :) Great experience!

While I have never met anyone from the ADD support forum nor one of the other forums I'm a member of I have met with members of the Breast Cancer support forum from Nebraska and have made some very lasting friendships and YES we had a ball!!!

I am ssssooo looking forward to meeting the person that I will be meeting this Summer!!!!!

Who could that be? hmmmm, I wonder?

:D ....see even Eeyore is jumping up & down because he is excited to meet that person!!!!

Can I change my mind? I wasn't sure, but decided I might like to travel....sure do like you people :)

You too? We are going to DC to visit my uncle and have been invited to stay a couple of days with free2bme I'm so excited. I have always felt we should have some kind of summer retreat where we could all get together and have fun and well learn 'cause Andrew and Ian would probably make us *rolls eyes* of course it could be fun to see who can sit still the longest. lol And for the sake of your sanity Ian and Andrew I was only teasen you two know I love ya tons.

Okay lets all meet at Cherity's place. That would be a fun time . Cherity stock up on the food and get that place clean girl. I am on my way.


I would love to meet people from the forum. I think it would be fun to see the people who I have been talking to. * smiles *

Actually, Nebraska is the middle of the US and by MY calculations the middle of the world (hehe though its been disputed lol) so it would be natural to meet here but I'd much rather meet up somewere where there is stuff to do like go to the beach, go to an amuzement park, camping, stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff to do.

I still say ya'll need to get your butts down here in New Orleans for Mardi Gras :D

I started this online communication thing back in the 80's when you had to dial into a Bulletin Board System and leave posts one at a time. And while you were on the system everyone else had to wait to get in!

I use to go to these quarterly get togethers/bbq's from some of the boards and they were quite intersting. I made a couple of short term friends but never anything long term. Then there was Yvonne....those were the days! If only I wasn't married at the time....<sigh> If I only knew then what I know now!

I think it gets weird for most people after making a mental picture of someone once they have gotten to know them through the forum and then seeing them for REAL. This doesn't necessarily mean there is anything negative about either of the two + people meeting. It's just different than previous perceptions.

oh no ive gone and confused myself ... futs said something about a car as well as fasttalking ... you both are offering a possible sale of a vehicle??? pleaase fill me in ... futs ,,, you got the van right? andd fasttalking ... what you have is wut?

Normally I would say no because normally I'm intensely private. But with the folks here - it'd be fun to go hang out. Guess normally I'm not normal but here we're all in the same boat!

:D ask and ye shall recieve M'dear :D

That sounds like such a good idea :)

Wow i think it's cool the way people welcome the idea. I know i am the farthest from most of you...But if a get together with others would take place... I would make the time to go. Like Motorbrain said, i am super private ect. But there is a lot of people i would love to meet in person. :)

So what are you trying to say????!! Is everyone meeting at my place???:eek: :eek:
Beach, amusment parks, camping.....
I better start being a good flylady now then!!!:D

I've actually fantasized about this very idea. A huge plan to buy up all the tickets on a cruise ship and sail around for 5 days with y'all. That could get expensive so I favor the idea of staying with Futz and Witsend in Nebraska. Whoever doesn't fit in their houses can camp on the lawn.

There's only one drawback to this...actually two....
1) quite a few of us have voiced our concerns and discomfort being around large groups of people, so instead of giving a supportive atmosphere for meeting each other, we will in essence be setting off panic attacks

and
2) no one would get a word in edgewise. We're ADD, the only reason anyone gets a chance to talk around here is because it's one post at a time.

But don't let me hold up the plans. I'll bring the chips and dip and my lorezepam...no problemo!

:D haha that is very true. I find it hard talking with 3 people, 2 of us being add because its a constant struggle to get one of to stop talking or give someone else a chance ..... butttt id like to meet with some people,, maybe not a huge gathering tho

I'm sorry I was kinding. My baby needs to make it a few more years before I can get something new or newer.

OH my Deary,

Do you imagine a bunch of ADD on a cruise...:rolleyes: :eek: :eyebrow: :faint: :soapbox:
I think it's a cool idea.
I am not into large group of people either usualy. But i think i could spend a few days, with a bunch of yous with no problem...anyways you can always take some time out if wanted.

Jeez, for all i know, i am sure someone will tell me to please take time out LOL....:rolleyes: :p :)

Actually, I've already thought about this. This is what I have come up with. About ten miles from my home is a large camping ground with real bathroom facilities and a lake. Its also within a 5 mile distance of a town with a hotel and real swimming pool.

See, we could be together but in doses comfortable to ourselves. Come on it would be fun. And dearest Eye you would be welcome in my home anytime even if it where for just a few hours as you were passing thru.

If we ever went on a cruise, I 'm so there!!! Unlike alot of you, I love to be around people & LOVE to ppl watch!!! I just hope none of us fall overboard!!:D

ditto, witsend!! I'll save whoever falls overboard, I was a lifeguard for 8 years.

Ha Nebraska, i would go back there in a minute....loved that state :)

Sorry about my "state" of confusion Witsend. Get it? STATE! LOL I thought you and Futz were from the same place, I guess I wasn't paying attention. Imagine that.

Thanks for the invite Cherity. We're getting along so well I'd hate to ruin it by letting you meet me live and in person. But if I'm ever in Nebraska, I'll look you up just to take a chance that maybe I won't annoy you.

They book "singles cruises", and "reunion cruises", I wonder if it would be totally out there to have an "ADD cruise". As long as the Captain is on his meds we probably won't get lost at sea. This may be more plausible than we think.

How about we seriously plan a get together, for the ones that want to meet??¸

what do you all think ?

what do you all think ?Digitl,

Do you imagine what this would entail?
One person would do the arranging, but another would have a better idea, and all would procrastinate on who had the better idea, and even when things are settled, it will still take so long because no one has as yet packed their things, no one will remember to get the flight tickets, and even if everyone did manage it, by the time they all got together they would all wonder why they there because they forgot where they are there and why they came, and all would need time out to get over the trip; not to mention intoducing each other would be a nightmare. "I'm Digitl." Response-:"Huh? Who is that? I don't remember you.".:confused: .................... and............................................... ...................:soapbox: :D

But, clearly :rolleyes: Victoria, you are missing something here. Consider this. We have a golden opportunity to act on our greatest gift of ADDness ;) and that is our impulsivity. Let's use this talent to our advantage.
AND JUST DO IT NOW :eek:

Who needs planning...besides then we will get lost in the unimportant details :faint: besides don't you just hate to hyperfocus?


**************
and fooooooey to packing since we can just throw a-couple-a things in a bag. I've done that before... [sort of a new twist on bed-in-a-bag]

Nonononononoonno! Deeper. Hyperfocus is MY thing:faint: :D ! Ok, we all buy new clothes. If we remember to go out and shop:confused: ...........ahhhhhhhhhh, no, we won't forget how to do that one:foot: :D

nah, I don't even think that we need to dress to impress nor do we need to go shopping.

I'll just grab a couple of things that I have shoved under my bed and stick 'em in a bag. or maybe I'll just take the suitcase that I haven't emptied yet and put in clean undies (ooops)

Okay that's done.

Some make-up and toiletries and I'm off...
Can't forget my meds... *yikes*

:eek: this is becoming very complicated. :confused:

oh please, give me the strength to not back out. (yeah, done that too!)

How about we seriously plan a get together, for the ones that want to meet??¸

what do you all think ?

What about those or us :( that get seasick!!!! But i'll try! Maybe.

I think that we should just consider a train trip across the country and pick up people as we go along. We can converge on the north west and work our way up to Canada and then hope a ship ( of some sort) :eyebrow: and meet the rest over there----> or <------ there or ^ there. Not to worry. We won't forget you on the road. Never! :faint: oops forgot those people v (down there) :foot:

When i said we could seroulsy think about it...i did not have a cruise in mind or any way in particular.... :) , i was just wanting to see if people were positive about the idea to actually arrange a get together ...

And not a lot are answering my dear blue LOL...

Tell me when...............I am there Dearest Digitl

i love the idea of a gathering.... i'll be going to this one *someday*! Time travellers convention (http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/)

I'm telling you the best way to go about it is to have it near a camp ground so those that like to camp can and those that don't like to camp can rent a hotel room.

You could organize a get together breakfast in the morning and a ADD seminar after.

Then you can go fishing, boating, jet skiing, rafting, swimming, tubing (My all time personal favorite).

Then have a bar-b-q in the evening with a social hour or a dance. I know there are a lot of camping grounds around here where you can rent an entire section for you own group.

Futs, you said the bad word again. "ORGANIZE":rolleyes: :cool: :rolleyes: :faint:

We need all types.

I'm good at organizing and cooking but not good at speaking to crowds and even if I talk to you a mile a minute here it won't happen in real life the first day I'll need someone to take me around and make me feel comfortable.

Do you see what I mean though we need all kinds of people not just organizers.

i don't think we'd have to organize it all, just publicize the date of the next CHADD convention (or something of similar interest) and drum up ADDF members to commit to going. then all we'd have to do is get a block of rooms - like they do for weddings, and do the campground equivalent of a block of rooms. state campground don't always accept reservations, but private ones do i think???

any conferences scheduled during the summer would do nicely. or in a warm climate!

conference attendence is optional, of course.

We could get a group campsite - we'll check out how many more can join in on the group site. and make the nightly campfires not optional. everyone must attend those! :)

I've started wondering if we could have a real old fashioned hoe down. lmbo

Seriously, though your going to want some form of entertainment at night what about allowing members to show off special talents? Mary has an excellant singing voice and so many other members are not only musically inclinded but some are real comedians, dancers, etc. I think it would be nice for the younger kids like my son to see that having ADD doesn't mean Diagnoses Disaster.

We could have awards..no wait that always feels crappy when you don't get one.

i love the idea of a gathering.... i'll be going to this one *someday*! Time travellers convention (http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/)


and we can talk about string theory
:eyebrow: :faint: :foot: :soapbox:

hurrumph, and here i was thinking i was such a smarty pants....

i had to go look up "string theory" and couldn't get through the first web page i hit. i just kept thinking "hey look, string!"

lmao :D

did i mention that a gathering would be great fun! if it ever happens, i hope i can work it into our vacation plans.

well, I am just catching up on lost time. learning all that I can now that I can concentrate. ;)

hmmmm, maybe *taking* my prescribed med would help with that whole concentration thinkg.... :D

I dont think that the organisation will be that bad, we could put 1 or 2 people that are good in different areas that needs to be plan in advance.

I love your idea Nuts, camping, hotel, outdoor activites , with mandatory camp fire lol,,, love it.

What would everyone see as a get together, or more when,,,,this summer, next summer, next fall, next winter?????

Lets get this going, and who ever gets in , get in,. Lets try to arrange something fun and relax at the same time. :)

i'd say next summer. this summer is already booked. i'd love if we could do something within driving distance of wisconsin ... 8 would be ideal, 12 hours max. so, we can get as far south as st. louis in ~ 8 hours. cincinnati (not really wanting to go there necesarily, we have friends there so i know about how far it is ...) is about 8 or so... if we go west, we can get to fargo in about 8 hours (hmmm, fargo... well, it'd be cheap anyway -- and there's fun racing there in the summer)

some ideas to get us started... i don't know where everyone who is interested is or how far they are willing to travel. anyone have a good way to get that info. all in one spot???

ttfn,

w.

I still think meeting at Cherity's is a good idea. Love ya, Chrerity.

I've never been to Nebraska or anywhere really . Oh, Louisana for a week. Dont remember much though.

I think meet a bunch of you would be fun. I could stand not getting a word in edgewise with you folks. Its my family that that bugs me. I think I could handle the feeling I get when I worry about meeting new people and what they think.

I would love to meet ya all.

i'd be all for travelling to Nebraska ... or iowa. i just mapped my location to the center of NE, and it's ~ 10 hours. very do-able for me.

if we want to go a little further east so that the east coast folks wouldn't have to travel as far i could go as far as ohio...

how do we pick a location???

the logistics get to be a nightmare! too many details, and too many people disappointed if it's the wrong weekend or wrong location .... hopefully someone with organizing as a strength can figure this all out.... ;)

just thinking about planning a wedding convinced me that my husbands plan to elope was a *great* idea!!! :D

keep us posted!

w.

ok but NE is NOT 8-10 hrs from me & I would LOVE to go somewhere to have a lot of fun & meet fun ppl!!! I think we would have to figure out where the middle is & meet there.

I dont think we can actually make a middle place to meet.
If i did that, i guess i would be before Nebraska, since i am about 30 some hours from there. But i would not mind the driving down there, and even pick up people along the way to go there. If some people needed it.

I think Nebraska is pretty much the middle of the US no??? I also think that some of us will have to make a little bit more compromises then other to meet everyone. I personaly i am all for it :D

Ok so now i will officially open a new thread about meeting. And we will actually start working on something.

sounds good!! I guess I would have to get a reliable car to drive that far ( my tranny is gonna fall out one of these days real soon :l ---not cool). Are you appointing yourself the official chairperson of organizing this little shin-dig??

I can certainly take upon myself some responsibility, but i am sure some others will join in....well i hope so anyways lol...

or, everyone could meet at a camping ground - everyone make their own reservation, bring their own "house" or rent a camping cabin, and we can all just hang out. no agenda. just fun.

I agree, that is what i thought. I can see where maybe if we hand up being a bigger group, i think some things could be plan in advance for activities ect.

Iowa would be closer to Canada than Nebraska, technically. Not that much to look at, per se, mostly cornfields! Anyway, uhh...not sure where to meet exactly, but I'm in...technically Iowa would be closer to Canada, close to Wisconsin (honeymooned there), close (well, relatively) to Ohio...probably leaving something out, but it wouldn't be far to drive from Nebraska, either, obviously. Ian could drive to Iowa--Manitoba's not so bad, distance wise. Andrew would probably have to fly, as would the folks from CA, certainly anyone from overseas, obviously; northern Canada might be a problem...is New Orleans at the bottom of Louisiana? I forgot. It's about 16 hours down to New Orleans from here, I think, but I'm not entirely sure on that. (That was for Draga.) Obviously, the folks from Minnesota could head down here. I live about 140 miles west of Chicago. Whatever, y'all.

Chrys

p.s. And there are about a zillion campgrounds in this state.

Keep me in the loop please. When dates and plans are set. let me know and I'll see if I can get away.

Wheezie you are great :D thanks

So Digitl, are you going to organize this

as long as 1 other person shows up it will be a sucsess......

YOu know what Garry, i think i will.....Why not, i am pretty good about organising some stuff. With the help of others for sure.

I think we can make a great get together, I know motorbrain gave great ideas. ANd i am sure some others will 2 :)

A gathering of people sounds fantastic. That would be a good thing, IMO..

Actually, Nebraska is about as middle as your going to get. Nebraska is about 3 days of comfortable, sightseeing at your leisure drive. WE took the drive a few years ago with two kids under the age of six. There are a ton of things to see and do along the way. I'll find out the exact milage as I said we weren't in a hurry and didn't have a destination.

If we met in Omaha which is the mecca of Nebraska you have the Henry Doorly Zoo which boasts the Worlds Biggest Enclosed Rain Forest (which is awsome by the way they let the birds and little monkies just roam amongst you.), They also just built the a huge domed Desert which was pretty cool. The Imax, museams, lakes, camping grounds, hotels, water parks, at the right time you can get into the states largest fair.

I don't have a problem going to another state as long as it isn't California or anywhere with a freeway system anything like California's NO OFFENSE but dying of a heart attack while driving is not my ideal vacation.

It is so not that bad!!! Tx's loop thing is worst!!!

I've met several ppl from online, and it's always been a wonderful experience. In fact, i met my boyfriend of the past three years online in an add support room. :) we have a little boy together who is the light of our lives.

I've met lots of other ppl at picnics and various gatherings. Some of my very best friends started out online. It truly is a wonderful thing to know that my best friends understand me and accept me without question.

I wish you the best in organizing a get together :) keep me posted on the where/when. If it's possible to attend, I'll be there, with the family in tow.

O'No lol the Texas loop was easy compaired to the streets of Cali. What is the concept of going from stopped to fifty in mere seconds so you can stop at the next red light? And your red lights is that to keep traffic from speeding? The nice thing about the Cali freeway where all the nice people pointing us in the right direction lmbo and if you miss your exit we found out that taking three left hand turns will get us right back where we started. lmbo

hmmm..firstly there would be the international air fair...im out. Secondly you could be guarenteed i'd get spun out and hide in a corner drinking burbon and cola all night till i pass out quietly and peacfully without anying anyone too much. That or i'd just make a balls up of it and hurt myself in some undefined and most likely acidental but should-have-known-better way.

shinobi,

A meet up is not mandatory for continued support. If its something that would leave you uncomfortable then don't worry about coming we'll still love you. Healing takes time and it only knows your timetable not anyone else's.

yeah, i'd love to meat yall, maybe if i ever travle to .us or canada, or both always wanted to visit them. I know i wouldent handle it well though, which is sad, but least i know, thus avoiding a potentialy dangerous and/or emabasing situation before it arises. I'll add "couch surf between forum members" to my "list of things to do if i ever sort my act out". I seriously have that list, no joke.

Thanks futs, fer your kind words :).

Futs---all the loops in TX all look the same....At least in Cali you either go N, S, E or W .& not everyone drives that fast.....I've lived here all my life, you have to remmeber that majoity of so-called "Californians" are from out-of-state!!!

lol I didn't mean any offense I was just giving you a hard time. In Nebraska the biggest road we have is eight lanes with four going one direction and four going the other and that road only lasts about 12 miles thru Omaha.

Nebraska has its own drawbacks. There are deer crossings, farmers who drive their combines at 20 down a 65 mile an hour road, tornado's. I think anywhere we have it will have its faults.

Has met quite a few from the web... a couple years ago. One person lives 20 minutes or less from my house. Have been there 2 or 3 times. Also one about 2 hours away. That I saw several times in the last 2 yrs.

I met with the local crew from flylady.net for dinner one night and it was a gas. We are going to meet again on the 27th of May for hopefully a warmer day and a bigger turn out.

How about we have a get together for the Canada add forums. also...??


not at the same time either LOL..:p

I am so in the middle of this great land! Lots of room to camp here! There is even a nice little provincial park ten minutes from us where you could camp if you didn't like our more rustic camping conditions. You don't think I should mention this to Pierrette first do you?
Impulsive by nature. Ian.

I'll come up to Canada!

(but you have to take me goose hunting! :))

Sigh, I'm such a hunt ho...

MB

lmbo Motor Doug said Canada is a go if he gets to hunt or even fish but would prefer some hunting. I say as long as I'm warm, dry, no bullets are flying over my head, no bear's are stealing my children its a go.

There is a small river in the back (http://www.addforums.com/forums/newreply.php) and 155 acres of bush. But summer isn't exactly hunting season and shot and bullets and campers hardly work well together.

We had a deady winter kill two years ago that wiped out most of the fish around here too so it'll be slim pickin's there as well.

Once the seaon has been open for a bit and the weather warms up, I'll get you guys an update.
Cheers! Ian... remebering to mention all this to PU before she finds company driving into the yard. :eek:

Please remember that Canada goes all the way up to the north pole and I'm in the south only 14 miles from the US boder. If you want to hunt, or fish in classic Canadian style, north is where you need to be. :D

I can do the camping thing since I have my warm sleeping bag and my insulated undies. Can go as low as lets say, maybe 10 degrees F. or so. but I'd prefer somewhat warmer conditions.

I'll bring my waders but I am not gonna fish. oh no, since I am not sure what to do with the poor thing. If I bring T., my fly guy, then he can do the real thing. He might even learn about, ummmm, his ADHD??? Maybe one of the guys could have a nice talk with him in the river... It could even be a long-long one, as he will be doing most of the hyperfocusing and less of the socializing. Talking is my forte when I am not dreaming about the meaning of 1+1=2. Actually I find that there are so many variables to consider about that problem...

Sure you want me to hang with you folks?

who else is good at causing trouble with me..............other than YOU??!!!

So of course, who would not want you to hang out with???

Can i go NOW camp there Ian LOL...Just tell Pierrette it's only a Quebecois comrade coming , she will be happy :rolleyes: :p :) hope so lol

I think it is a great idea for camping. And you must be about 2 days away from me or something?? Oh yeah you are in manitoba...

Well likely have some poor Quebec exchange student for six weeks this summer wondering how people can live in such conditions. :D

Deeperblue of course we don't know if we want to hang with you, but isn't that the point? To find out some of the reality check that doesn't happen with type written words? ehehh Oh this would be such a ride.

Did anyone set dates for the OHIO crew? Do you guys have dates in mind? I think reservations at the Park might be a good idea. But you guys all need to think carefully about this. I live like a hill billy. We have no square footage to be inside. It's a tiny house with no luxuries. You could rely on us for space as we have no shortage of that. Eggs. We have lots of those. Water, electricity, out house but that's about it I would think.

The shower and bathroom would be a problem to share as it's a zoo with a house full of girls now and we only have the one bathroom. (we sleep standing in separate corners. Manon will get her own corner next fall when M goes off to University :D )

I'm proposing we meet over three days. Something like arriving on a Friday and spend Saturday and Sunday together then go our own ways on the Monday. What do you think?

Should I mention this to PU at all, or should we just surprise her? :D Oh those ADD husbands... never a dull moment! heheh Relax all you fretting worry warts... :P I'll go send an email right now and look after it.
Cheers! Ian.

Bummer. So is there cheap beer and fast food? C'mon, help a self destructive bruttha out!

:)

Cheap beer.. ewe! How about a pint of something English and thick? :D Fast food is the gift of America to all the world so yes we have it here. :P heheh

We go across the line for cheap beer! Seriously if you are starting out with American funds, you'll be plenty happy with how far your dollar goes regardless of you bad taste in beer. :D
Cheers!

LOL Ian

Deep sure I would want to hang out with you.

As for minn I can cause as much trouble as you baby name the time and place LOL


I was the devil who suggested Nebraska cause I love to put Cherity on the spot. I knwo she handle it right Cherity.

I would love to meet . I am just on limited resources. I dont know how I would do in a big I big group. So make the decision with out me in mind okay. Love ya all have fun.

Hiya Chris,


Listen if the biggest problem is ressources, i think we could arrange something, i mean i am sure someone can pick you up on the way out ect..

But if it is about being in a big group, then you know what you are able to handle or not.

I know i am not at my best in big groups, but i also know i have the choice to take time out on my own also. ANd i think everyone can understand that... :)

thanks Chris, thanks Rach. I was just kidding.
and I am not sure that I would make it, though it would be fun. So good luck with your plans and have a nice time all :cool:

I'm not sure I'll be making it.........

Sorry, but I will not camp, I'm not an outdoors kinda person and neither are my kids or husband.

Driving to the middle of the states would take me days to do and I can't tolerate long car rides. I only have weekend type vacations that we can do.

It'll be fun to see what you all do :)

I'm clear on the last weekend in July but be forewarned, I'll need the house as our family sanctuary. When you see it's size you'll understand better maybe. It's something like 24' x 26' or something silly like that.

Information on the park at St. Malo (http:///www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/parks/popular_parks/st_malo/). It's a good facility.

We are dreamers first and good providers second. :D We took seriously the "reduce, reuse and recycle." Reducing being the biggest help, that's what we did first.
Cheers! Ian.

Excuse me, ladies, but when I'm not having anxious breakdowns I can be very very evil, too!

(Just ask my husband, about five of my ex-boyfriends and...my mother!)

No, really, I'm evil, I promise!

(Oh, dear, that didn't upset anyone, did it? I'm so sorry, y'all! :o )

Perhaps the evil lies in my not clearly conveying whether I'm truly evil...you'd have to wait to find out...;)

"MUHAHAHAHAHA," er wait, dead giveaway, crap--"hehehe!"

Chrys

Us evil womyn will have a bal, LOL..:rolleyes: :p :)

Ian does have a point...

broke in the US is middle class in Canada or something.

Dude, totally willing to try some mayo on my fries, man. I'm in. (Longer drive for Futs, but hell, if she doesn't care...)

Don't worry, I'll spare you my Canada-hating husband. (And maybe I can tolerate the beer, though even if I can't, I've driven more than 14 miles just to get beer before. Grew up in the country, after all.)

I so dare you not to tell her ahead of time, Ian. You chickened out the last time I dared you on something, though. She'd suddenly have a swarm of rapidly-talking, absentminded, fidgety, bewildered people in her front yard. Oooh!! How about if everyone just "forgets" to take their meds that day? :D Gotta go for full effect!

Oh, wait, umm...no, a little too obviously evil there. Damn.

We want our dear admin to have all his limbs. And I think the admin may prefer having attached genetalia. So maybe Ian should tell her.)

Chrys

It's a done deal KJ. Got the go ahead with some flippant comment about "when have I ever said no" and then we got distracted with other topics... :P
Cheers!

AWESOME! I get to go to the other country bordering the US!
(That's technically closer to me now that I'm two states up but I've never actually been to!)
:D ROAD TRIP!:D
(Lemme know dates.)
KJ/C
p.s. cheers right back at ya, man.

OK so this is for when Ian and Pierrette ??? :p

Thanks Digitl.

It isnt so much the size of the group I guess, it is more how I feel about not being like alot of the people here and other places. Having a job or career. A house and children or a guy friend. I dont know what I would say.

Then there is the fear of meeting certain people.
I have wanted to meet others from the forum and thought it would be
fun. Do you see how my mind is running Digitl.

Ya I dont know how to drive never learned to having seizure
when I was in driivers ed wasnt able to . Money is tight too, Oh well I better stop babbleing.

Last weekend in July if it doesn't conflict with the Ohio crew.

I need to know who needs camp sites at the park.

No one can drink a lot of american beer fast - it takes too long to choke it down. I like slow destruction so it fits me perfectly.

If I was in the land of bitters, ale and guiness I would be on the self destruct rocket sled. Although every once in awhile i would pull over for a pilsner urquell.

Some of our micro brews are good but some, well, stink to high heaven.

I know exaclty how you feel Chris. But me it is more like that in my everyday life.

You see i dont watch tv, i never read the newspaper or the news on tv, plus i dont have a husband, never been married, and i have 3 kids, no house, and almost no money LOL.... I keep jobs for about 2 or 3 yrs and i change, no one understand that, and i have been seen and still be seen as a weird irresponsible person. But you know what i dont care, i am who i am and it's how i feel happy living my life. No i dont have much to talk about as in everyday new things that happened in the world. I heard about Tsumani a week later. :rolleyes: :eyebrow: .

So what if you dont have any material things to show....personaly i dont go there to see who as what ect...i want to meet people i have gotten to know here and to be with other ''weirdo's'' like me for a change LOL...

Where do you live again Chris??

Thanks Digitl.

If your talking about this summer you can probably count us out. Its too short a time to come up with that kind of money and not hurt our budget. :(

So where are we going to meet next summer? :D

Heavens! Lets get through this one first. Then once people have the coordinates for our place straight, and no missles are aimed to take us out, we can encourage a "next year". :D

woogy knees - Ian

I understand that but while I'm going to be sad at not getting to go I will have something to look forward to. And you can't have it at the same place every year its hardly fair for those that cannot travel that far. You have to change the location giving everyone a shot at meeting. :rolleyes:

Doug said its not a no go yet. lol Another words he thinks we can wiggle a long weekend out of our schedules and not hurt our budget with a little fancy foot work or should I just call it what it is...overtime :( . Can't get something for nothing right?

So, what will be doing at your place? Right now it sounds like sitting around and doing a lot of talking. Ummm I"m ADHD your gonna lose me fast!!! Any ideas? Fishing is fun but it does not entertain me as much as my husband after all I do have spongebob as my bobber to prove it. ;)

I've got ideas rolling around in my head. I'll have to organize them a little or you'd never understand. :p

I have to try the beer and mayo/fries combo. (I know I could try mayo and fries here, but I want it authentically prepared.;) )Well, and of course I guess I'll have to socialize with you guys, too. *sigh* :rolleyes: Yeah, right! Sooo driving 10 1/2 hours for mayo and fries. :p They never figure you'll go over 60 mph on those things. It'd probably be more like 8 hours or something.

Chrys

You need to go to Quebec for the mayo deal I think.

I'll check the dates for special events but the beach is only ten minutes up the road and the city is an hour, but I think there should be a day trip for kids at least once that goes beyond the beach. Childrens Museum or something. PU has lots of those ideas.
Cheers!

Asuming you are talking this year Ian (last weekend in July 2005 ) my wife and I start our holidays that weekend.

So we would have the entire week to get back home.

Have to do some calculating (miles wise ) to see if I can drive it in time and bring my ATV ( 155 acres needs to be explored )

Have to reinstall microsoft map (back in a while)

If you can come up through the States it's better mileage wise. It's a heck of a drive, but you know all about that! :D

I thought you and I might get together last year, but then you got smart and quit the long haul. It'll be cool to shake your hand.
Cheers!

Ok i have ask a question concerning the meeting this summer at Ian's in another thread please go answer it , so we have an idea of who is thinking in coming ...

thanks..

That is cool!!! now we're cooking with some gas. :D If you wouldn't mind pm'ing me with the nearest big city to you we can start planning the route we will take and activities along the way. Don't expect me to be on time :p this will be our one and only vacation this year and we get side tracked a lot with 5 of us having different interests. lol

http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2876991-winnipeg_things_to_do-i There you go Futs. That's an hour away from us.

Its 1240 miles

19 hours straight driving

if we left thusday after work and both drove we could make it for Friday night but we would be burnt out .....

But we would have Saturday sunday and Monday and all week to get home

Dominion city is the closest I could find to Roseau River, Manitoba, Canada

What are 2 crossing Highway intersections that are close to you Ian

.oO( thinking that section of map is very very familiar.... lol )

I'm typically cautious about anything that is on the net. But there are several people here I'd probably like to meet.

I figure out of 5,000 someone has to be sane enough to call for enforcements should Ian try to boil us in hot oil for his supper. lol

Ok now I don't want to wait for Doug. Anyone know how to run the map thingy? lol

I figured it out all by my lonesome. *grins*

I am exactly 1258.9 km which translates to 12 hours and 2 minutes we've driven much further in a day. On our way to my father's funeral in California we drove for 22 hours not consistantly mind you lol.

YOu can do it Futs :)

I know i really hope i can also make it at Ian's ....:)

Right now we're trying to adjust Doug's class schedule to coincide with the trip. He'll have to speak with his advisor. And I have some issues too but am working on getting them resolved. (Nothing to do with the trip mind you).

Where theres a will, theres a way!!!!

Hey Paula baby girl,,, how is the meeting in the east going??

What about the Minnesota, or Ioha coming along...??? jeez i get mixed up sometimes in your states lol....lets hear about those meeting...

Come on people :)

I can't even think of meeting up with a pending out of state move. If Ian's was scheduled for summer 2006 I'd enjoy meeting some of you out there since we'd combine it with a family vacation.

We will meet in 2006 wanted or NOT vanna fishy :rolleyes: :p :) :D

yer on girl :eek: :eyebrow: :faint: :)

If I'm the only one who shows up, I'm driving to Quebec and kicking Lise's ***.

Of course, I'll only do that if Ian doesn't try to boil me for supper. :p

If that's the case Chrys, you're going to love Quebec! heheh I'm sure you will be as charmed as I was by the very nature of the place. Lise would no doubt win you over with her obvious "Joie de Vievre"

When PU and I spent a gloriously and romantic ten days in Montreal without the kids, we stayed close to the Latin Quarter (http://shorterlink.org/265). We were so impressed wtih the quality of life there. People know how to treasure their culture of fine food, art and entertainment like nowhere else I"ve been in North America. What little French I have, I used willingly and was welcomed with open arms.

We'll go back to Quebec, but next time we'll go to Quebec City (http://shorterlink.org/270) and drink even more deeply of that lust for life Québécois seem to have in such abundance.

Chrys, I have it on pretty good authority that you're a little on the thin side for soup. Maybe we could arrange some kind of simple sacrifice instead? :P Seriously, we have every intention of of welcoming everyone warmly and trying to make the stay as enjoyable as we can.

If there are very few of us we can easily do things that larger groups can't like fit in a canoe! ;)
Host and concierge - Ian

No one
We'll take lots of pictures!

Not many have confirmed to be headed our way, but I think in the beginning it will be hard for folks to commit to such an big investment of time and energy as this is going to require, without having some idea that it's going to be worth it.

Your efforts will pay off later when people are more used to doing this kind of thing. I belonged to a crew on IRC for ages and they met annually and had done so for years. They were a little rougher than I'd be interested in meeting, but it all looked like fun in the photos afterward. :)

Understandably there is a lot of cautious talk about this kind of meeting. I've never been one to play it safe, but that doesn't mean I'm asleep at the switch. There will be a saftey net in place and a good supply of contacts and communication to help defray the risks.

It will come in time fasttalkingmom. I'm certainly not expecting crowds. :rolleyes: I'm prepared, but not holding my breath. :foot:
Cheers!

No one
LIsten Paula where are you at exactly, like what is the name of a big town near you??

Because i am sure i am like 6 or 7 hours from you. So that would be like so easy to come for short weekend, and camp somewhere.. i know i would love to meet ya :) . And i think we have speedo maybe interested on coming..

What about you Eyeforgot, aren't you close to mass?

My only worry about Ian is i need a long week of being from work. My real vacation from work are 2 weeks during Christmas because the center is closed. So i dont really have a choice for that. but i am trying to arrange something.

Unless you guys want to come to Québec instead of at Ian's :D

I would so love to go back to Quebec! We have an exchange student all summer so I'm going to be nailed down to the farm for this year though.

I guess you're right, Ian...I'd be better as jerky.:faint:
KIDDING! I am not terribly worried that you're going to process my little carcass into snack food. I'd be awfully stringy. :p Plus it would completely obliterate any decent karma you have. :D
No, seriously, though...
LISE, YOU ARRANGED ALL THIS, CHICA! :eek:
Good Holy...hm...how far away is Quebec again?
(...and besides, isn't it just for a weekend? If not, I'm out of the loop. :eyebrow: )

~KJ/C

I'm closse to mass, and I can give someone a rid eif they need it.

I guess that means I'm planning on going.... :p

I had the chance to meet 2 people from the forum this last weekend(two different meetings, it just happened to be on the same weekend)

They both were great experiences with long lasting memories. There are a few other of us that are "planning" a get together soon. I am sure that it will also be filled with terrific memories


I would say that if you ever get the chance to meet somebody on the forum, that you have become friends with.............go for it. Who knows if you will ever get the experience again to do something like that

mmmmm...not sure.but why not?.........in a minute? mmmmmmmm, definately not:D

I already have...

I guess if you had to do it the right way...you would have to "get" to know them as well as possible. And of course meet them in a public place....like you would meeting someone online..from a "dating" or friendship service? Right? Esp if you are meeting the oppsite sex?

I met AuntChris..who lives literally right down the street from me...She and I chatted her quite awhile..then chit-chatted on the phone..then met for lunch...it's cool!

So Why Not? As long as you are "smart" about it..right?

So Why Not? As long as you are "smart" about it..right?
That's how I feel about it too Hope.
It's not something to rush into, no matter how well you think you a person.
I have talked on the phone with one person from here, a real sweetie:) , we haven't talked much lately, I kinda miss her:( , but we've both been too busy. (oops, sorry, off topic, that never happens here:p )

Right...even if you meet someone in person you don't really know them...it's a big scary world...and you just have to be careful...


And I chat with a few members fairly regular basis from here..that are tooo far away to meet....it's cool...but we chatted quite awhile before even doing that...
I hear you.....just like regular "in person" friends..

I guess phone call through here are modern versions of "pen pals" LOL

Anyone in the St. Louis/Metro East/Carbondale areas who wants to meet at a bookstore or something-would be fun-safe-and no expectations-just a howdy and swap some stories.

ME

Everybody I would currently consider meeting lives too far away from me for it to be feasible, but yea, I'd meet some forum members. I keep thinking maybe I oughta swing by and see Speedo on my way up North one of these times...I go right past him!

I got to know fasttalkingmom. She lives the next town over! We got together over coffee (I mean tea;) ) She is so sweet (hi there FTM:) )

It seemed wierd to me at first but I could tell that by communicating online and by e-mail that she is a genuine honest person.

So I agree that it's cool as long as you are mature enough and have a good sense of judgment.

I got to know fasttalkingmom. She lives the next town over! We got together over coffee (I mean tea;) ) She is so sweet (hi there FTM:) )

one of these days when I win the lottery so I can afford a plane ticket..............I WILL meet my good friend FTM in person :D

Cool Idea!!! :D :D :D

I would Love to meet the friends I've made on this forum and hey maybe make some new ones as well. We could all have an AD{H}D Bash. :D The best part would be -if nothing else- we'd be among friends who understand and accept us just the way we are! :D

yes I would. that way i could tell them f2f how much they have helped me.

I am kin to two members here so I knew them before they joined. I was the one who found this place and told them about it. I have talked to three others on the phone but all are far away from where I live. It seems like every one here from the US lives up north {probably because south of my location is Mexico}

I plan on meeting a couple of people this year and next year of here....I wonder what that'll be like??

I wish I was lucky enough to know someone who lived near by just to save my sanity!!!!
(I'm in Delaware (lower slower part) LOL

Minn, I am glad you had a great time and a memorable experience. I also met someone from the forum. Justhope and I met. It is amazing how 2 people on the forum live in the same city and talk on the same forum.

What a small world.

It was a memorable day. It was good to meet her, she is as pretty in person as her pictures .

What a small world.


Maybe from where you guys are. The chances of meeting some one from this town of 1100 in BFE Texas where I live in is probably about the same as winning the lottery even though I don't play. . . .
