*LULU*,
You have to RSVP Orchid ... but yes, we are meeting at 11:00AM at the place where we sit last time ... closer to the pudding <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

hi orchid...

i saw your invite on my thread the other day... thanks for thinking of me!!!

i would love to come but my son is invited to a birthday party at the same time...

i look forward to the next time...

oaktown...

All,

If you has been with us on the last get together you know where me are going to meet. If you don't have my cell# or Orchid#, you should give your cell# to Orchid (mborchid2@yahoo.com) to avoid snafu like @ sfZoo.

Metreon@11:00 AM. Don't bet on recognizing me by looking my photo@mb album. I changed my hair again ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> !.

Oaktown ... maybe next time you organize the SFBayAreaMBer IV <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> .

Where is this Metreon place? D wants to hang out with the adults. But she would probably get a kick out of bowling. She's never done it before.

Wait a minute! I just found out what Sony Metreon is! This is a big sucker. Exactly WHERE in it are we going to meet at 11 a.m.???

I do hope Wangi and Blah will be coming! They are survivors!

Thanks AMM for thinking about us, it is very unlikely we will be there this time,Blah was scheduled to work last minute and I "might" pop in to say Hi,if I were to go,I will call RH's cell but do not wait up,OK...and; you said we are survivors <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> but I think we are the strugglers
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Anyway,we started MC..so we'll see. I hope you guys will have a great time with or w/o us. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Have fun, y'all!

Surviving IS struggling, Wangi!

See you all @ 11AM ... I could not wait.

-rh-

RH,

U R you there already?!?!?! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

We are leaving around 10:30. Too much housework and not enough coffee - P

Well the only ones to contact me where Lulu and T1. So for what's it's worth, here's my cell phone: I will leave it up here for just this today. 408-438-6637. If you leave a message or call please id yourself as an MBer w/your user name then your real name.

re: can't be too sure if PBR is out there trolling the boards. The OW is still nutsy and has a lot of time on her hands. U know what that means - <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> .

See ya all soon!

L.

All,

Thank you all for coming ... I think everyone get what they come for; supports from each other <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

Unfortunately there are no show of OMexW, her freind is in a mess (just filed). I don't know what will be J.R.'s excuse. Wangi & RF was no show too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> ... I hope she is just no show 'cause of her golf lessons ...

I am all ear for time & place for SFBayAreaMBer IV.

Hi ya 'all,

Had a nice time today. We had the pleasure of meeting KS41 and her H, along with AM & young D, RH, LL, T1 and us (Orchid & H).

I certainly learned a lot today. Even about some of the forum changes.

A thought provoking statement was made today about how hard each one must work on their M's. Sometimes as younger ones we fail to see that need as important. Some of us learn that lesson at a later age yet we all need to learn this lesson ASAP. So to all who think getting M is an easy thing, it isn't. It is truly a give and take relationship.

Both spouses working hard and smart on your M's is vital to it's success.

JMHO,
L.

D said it was "awesome." Strange taste in entertainment for a kid.

I think she is curious and trying to understand you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> . She is very mature 15 y.o. I hope next time my 2 D could come along or KS41's D ... after all she is still 15 y.o. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

She said she wanted to hear the adults talk. She was kind of glad to be the only kid there.

Yes, she is mature. Alas, she has had many maturing experiences.

AM,

Please give your D a hug from me. She is a bright, beautiful and talented girl. What a wonderful combination. Her attitude towards life is refreshing to say the least.

I asked her if our conversations would discourage her from considering M (when the right time arose of course). She said No it did not discourage her. Whew....still I worry. I hate it that our young ones have to hear and deal with such pain at a young age, yet that is part of the circle of life for now. Sigh <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Anywhoze, tell her it was great to see her again and hopefully next time we will go bowling. H says not to make those kinds of promises since we have been there twice already and the only place we stayed was in the food court! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hugz,
L.

Actually, I think it's fortifying for kids to see adults who value marriage this much. All they see around them are kids who get divorced at the drop of a hat. She probably learned more about marital patience and forbearance there than anywhere else, recently.

AMM - I also loved meeting your daughter. She reminds me a great deal of my own. And next time, I'll definitely bring mine so they can exchange anime stories, etc.!

My girls have seen FWH and I struggle and work on our marriage. I am hoping it will help them recognize that marriages can be saved, and worked on, and be a rewarding proposition overall!

You guys are really a terrific group. We had made reservations for afternoon tea at the Palace, and had such an enjoyable time we just blew the reservation off to spend more time with you all. I am still in shock that my FWH has so talkative - loving it, but shocked! He was a bit apprehensive about going, but thoroughly enjoyed himself, and the opportunity to hear others talk about this stuff (imagine - he seems to be tired of hearing just *me* talk about it!!).

For any other BayArea builders who were wondering if they should go - make it a point! You won't regret making the effort (and also, I was inspired by Redhat and AMM's daughter to try the noodles next time....)

I went to the Ironman team meeting with Blah in Berkeley,and the team training started yesterday and I was proud of Blah and was very happy to BE there to support him,so I am the Iron wife! I must say the training has brought us closer.

So maybe the next MBers get-together Blah & I can both attend.

Aloha to you all.
