Whoo! Whoo! Sheryl ...

We think like peas in a pod. I sent OH a note on just that thing!

Barb

Ok good.  I was just going to try and figure out how to send a message to OH also.  I like being peas in a pod!  lol!   Have a great night!  It's getting busy again... talk with ya'll later!

Barb, yes, I'm a nite owl.  I just packed DH's lunch and am thinking of starting my new book, The Secret Life of Bees, which supposedly is about Sisterhood.  I'll get to sleep about 2:30, but I need to change it soon, school starts Monday.  Sheryl, yes, I am going to Mare's house. I am really excited about meeting new friends and hopefully, seeing old again!  See you there, so yes, 10-4 on the 10-90 lol. I like the calendar Idea also, It's sure a lot easier to keep up with than scrolling through previous posts. 

The Secret Life of Bees, GREAT BOOK!!  Make sure you have your tissues close by. 

Hi  -  Remember me?  I'm new here too. We need to meet up now Nancy,  I know your starting School Monday. I will send you a message,

In theory, Meetup.com is a wonderful place.  I am a member of the Raleigh Jaycees and this is where we coordinate all of our events.  It is a beautiful thing. As for our OH community, we wanted to duplicate that enviornment here.  However, in my mind this has been an exhausting couple of weeks with Meetup.com.  Why don't we take time to recover and we can re-address this issue in a couple of months.  In the meantime, if someone has an event or meetup, they can post it on the main board.   Just my two cents worth... Please share any and all thoughts you have.

HIJACK!!!! Candice you are a member of the Jaycees.... REALLY???   I want to talk to you can you please PM me.  I have lots of questions     SMOOOOCH

Good morning NC Losers and wannabe Losers! Now, let's all take 3 deep, cleansing breaths......breathe in slowly and breathe out slowly.....lol..... I am glad to see the above posts about meetup.com. I agree that having a centralized calander makes perfectly good sense. Did anyone else get an email from meetup.com asking if you are willing to step up as an organizer? I recieved such an email this morning. If the overall census is to keep it and utitlize without biasis, I would like to ask Candice is she would consider taking over such a task??? I think it would help to have someone in the Traingle region to facilitate it, I agree with Barb that it does not have to be just the Raleigh area meetup and I think Candice post yesterday am stating EVERYONE is welcome at events mirrors what and who we need as the sites organizer. Do I here a secone motion for Candice's nomination? Thanks everyone, Sheila

If she is interested, I know that Candice's warm, inclusive approach to all sorts of events would be a real benefit to all.

If you are interested in facilitating meetup.com or another similar forum for posting events Candice, I'm behind you 100%!

Okay not like any of you all signed up or anything but what is supposed to happen Saturday night with the pottery thing??  Any ideas?  I really do think that this was a great idea and I have already signed up with my $10 deposit... soooo???   I haven't gone to any of the other meetups for a few reasons.  Aside from the timing being off for me I also (don't flame me) don't think that a restaurant is the best of places for a bunch of overweight people who are trying to lose weight to meet... anyone else agreee with me? Or am I alone in this thought?  I know some of yall have issues with Wendy for whatever reasons but she had some great ideas as far as meeting places, i.e., the concert (true the storm did away with that, but it was a good idea!), this pottery thing for Saturday, etc etc.  I may have an outlet for a conference room that is not attached to any kind of restaurant if any of you want to have a more formal meeting.  It would also be a great place to just get a few of us together and sort out some things and get to a "more tangible" idea as far as meeting groups.  I would be more than happy to do what I can...  I just don't want to be the sole person to step up to bat....   meetup.com costs money to keep up, I am not made of that stuff, so I don't think that I want to facilitate that site.... I am willing I just need help, any takers?
