LONG BEACH COFFEE ON SATURDAY?

Hi Everyone and TGIF!
Is the Long Beach Coffee this Saturday the 30th?
Thanks
Terry

 Hi Terry,

You know, most of everyone that is involved with the Coffee gathering is on FB and very seldom comes here to post.  it seems to me like the Coffee is no longer a gathering.  Jean has not posted about it in some time.  Ms Shell was posting but I have not seen anything posted this week for tomorrow.  Being that many people will be attending Halloween parties I would venture to guess that there will be no coffee tomorrow.  Even if there was, I again would not be able to attend as I just got home from the hospital today.

Hoping that next month there will be a coffee gathering.

I also noticed that the Toms Farm event gathering was in the process of being scheduled but Kat was having some type of surgery and asked for someone to volunteer to take it over.  With no one stepping forward that was cancelled as well.

The California Board especially the LB group has really died down.  I saw this coming some time back, but now it looks like as if the LB group really is done.

On the WWW, I was tracking it, and though it was never strong numbers posting (not that it mattered) it became more of a shout out/conversation rather than a WWW.  I have not tracked the numbers if they were posted in some time now.  I am extremely busy at work and I don't get to the board very often.  I scroll through to see what it going on and where I can peep in from time to time.  My computer time at home is on FB with the farming games or talking/chatting with family from out of state that I do not see very often (every 5-10 years).  FB has been good for me this way as my family is all out of state.

I'll keep checking and hopefully we will have a coffee next month.  If I am feeling better and up for a coffee I will be more than happy to post it here and on FB.  Hopefully we can get a decent crowd together.  I know there are some new people here on the board and would be nice to get to meet them as well.

Have a good weekend and hope you don't get tricked too bad.

Hey Annette,

Not quite sure where you were going with this but the Long Beach Coffee had been going on LONG before Jean started posting it.  As I recall the LB Coffee group has been going for almost 5 years, whether it's 2 people or 20 doesn't matter if it mattered to those 2 people.

It's my opinion don't talk about something unless you are willing to step up and do something.

I was in Jamaica until Wednesday which is why I didn't post it.  I don't mind posting and when I FEEL like posting it I usually do and enjoy the 2-3 people that show up and have coffee with me =) 

Coffee and life always slows down around this time of year as people are getting more involved with their children and the such, the weather calls for more hybernation, etc, BUT like I said if you post they will come and I again for 1 don't care if it's 2 or 20.

I took over the Whatcha eating thread but because I spend/spent more time on the VSG forum I stopped posting over here...but I digress

   I am very much aware that coffee has been going on for some time.                             Unfortunately I have been able to attend over the last few month,      but I so           enjoy it when I do go.  Really wasn't going anywhere with        this.  

It's my opinion don't talk about something unless you are willing to step up and do something.

     Had I not just gotten out of the Hospital yesterday from Hernia Repair surgery, I      would have gladly posted about coffee as I was so hoping to attend.  Instead I am      home re-cooperating and on  major pain medication. Would much rather be at            coffee.  At the current moment, power is off in our neighborhood, so no coffee          here.

     I knew you were going on a vacation but did not remember when and for how long.       I have a hard enough time keeping up with my personal and company calendar.            When you or Jean post it is most appreciative  by me and others as well.  This is        not a paid job, nor is it required of anyone to post.  I guess we are, or at least I am    just used to seeing you or Jean post the information.  My bad if you or anyone else    were offended.

   On Monday, I had to say good-bye to a co-worker that passed away and get all pre-    op & pre-registration for surgery on Tuesday.  Had I remembered you were on            vacation this week, I would have gladly posted about the coffee as a reminder to      those that would be attending.

Coffee and life always slows down around this time of year as people are getting more involved with their children and the such, the weather calls for more hybernation, etc, BUT like I said if you post they will come and I again for 1 don't care if it's 2 or 20.

     I also do not care if it is 2 or 20.  Just the company of someone that has, or is           going through what you have or about to go through is wonderful.  I have invited       several people I have met through my sister-in-law who are about to begin their         WLS journey to join the OH community and the California forum or what ever           forum here on the board they are  comfortable with.  Not sure if they have joined     or if they will.  I can only simply state to others how wonderful I have found the       site to be for support or a good tongue lashing if needed.

     Having grown children in my life now, I am very much aware of life slowing down         regardless of their ages.  Also the weather plays a big role as well.

     Once again, my comments were not meant to offend anyone, and if you were              offended, I apologize.  

     Hope you had a fabulous time on your vacation.

Hey Terry,

I honestly can't say if I'll be there or not.  I just got home from a week in Jamaica and I'm still hung over, dehydrated and just plain tired, lol. 

Ms Shell

 I have missed the last few gatherings because of family plans, but I sure do miss coffee.  I am available tomorrow and will go sit and sip a spell at the Starbuck's on Bellflower.  If no one else joins me, I will simply enjoy some me time which is hard to come by this time of year.  I will miss Anette because I know she needs time to heal and Jean just had dental work.

Join me for a while if you can and know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes and peace to all of you!

 Had a delightful morning with Naomi, Diane and Terri.  Came home with Diane's hand me downs and got some great play clothes.  Missed the rest of you, but enjoyed great conversation, company and coffee.  See you all next month.

P.S.:  Anette you might want to share the bounty of the clothes.  I will give you a call!

Sounds like what coffee is all about.  It's not often posted but inevitably someone shows up.  Sorry I missed you but I will be there with bells on next month!!
