Well- I know that there are some people who are from the SF area out there and they post here and get together from time to time.... I was just wondering if there are any other groups from some different areas that do the same...?...
Would anyone from the Central FL area be interested in starting one?..... I guess more or less just for support outside this board... I can understand that this avenue of support provides a great deal of anonymity (oooohhhh my gossshhhh my spelling sucks...lol...) But if anyone is interested, I would like to know...
Thanks...

OTH,

I am from St. Pete and wouldn't have a problem starting one of these. We'll give it a couple of days to see if we get som responses.

God Bless

I would also like to know what others in their areas do when they get together.... Is it more of a social thing- just to get away from the stress.... Or more of a group "counseling" session?....

It turned out for a few last meeting we end up becoming "support group" since some of our members really needs it. We got a bit tired of it and we don't have new members that needs it ... so now we are heading to Mt. Diablo for hiking, actually more like strolling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> .

Keep it loose and find place that all could sits and talks ... for a few hours.

ISGirl tried to organize it once (she lives in Tampa) and no takers ...

-rh-

I am in Lakeland...I sure wouldn't mind!

Valrico/Tampa area...checking in.

Count me in.

ISG

Let's get together! Who's going to organize it? I'm glad to know there are fellow MB's out here.

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH....

Well its nice to see that there are others in my area.... But now... the task of putting something together.... With the holiday's I think maybe the end of January-February?....

And I can see that you guys are much more "west" than I am ... I am actually North of Orlando... between Orlando and Daytona....

Just out of curosity... how many of ya are women... and how many men.... I was thinking of a shopping, lunch social to get to know everyone... But dont want to offend the guys...lol...

So how does that sound? Any takers?.... And how about the I-drive area- or Kissimmee area?....
Just some thoughts..... Let me know....
Thanks
OTH

Let's see - the gender question...

ISGirl is (drummmmmmmrolllllll)...FEMALE! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

My vote would be to avoid the I-Drive madness and would be more toward the Kissimmee area.

Activity: a l-o-n-g lunch to talk, complain, get to know each other. I would say perhaps shopping would be difficult in terms of our goal to get to know one another...but that's JMO.

ISG

P.S. From looking at your sig lines, I will be the token Senior Citizen of the group. My SON is your age (early 30's) LOL!

I don't care either way, I am probably the baby here....and sweet well hmm that would be female.
All 26 yrs here and I just turned that. He he...Hey I still have all my life yet to find another man, that was a joke (sort of).

Nope, I think *I* am the "Old Lady" of the group. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

And south of Lakeland...........
A trip to Kissimee for lunch would be doable, if it was a good week-end, with NO extra chores/trips/plans.

Well then girls.... a llllooooonnnnngggg "get ta know ya" lunch it is....

Let's keep the first week in February open?....

And who knows that area?.... I don't at all... I mean I know the Disney exit.... And the Highway 27 exit... But no restraunts in that area....

Thanks for all the replies...
Glad to hear from people in my area.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

OH and PS

What's age anyway?....
Support knows no age....
(OTH thought for the day...lol...)

I penciled it in for Saturday the 7th...OK?

Good morning,

I guess I fall in the middle somewhere age wise. First week of Feb. Sounds like a good time.


God Bless

P.S. I'm a guy.

I'm in Pinellas County. I could probably make it over to Kissimmee Feb. 7th. My H may be at a retreat that weekend so he probably wouldn't attend.

Sounds like the 7th of Feb is good for everyone... Now I just dont know that area all that well....

I am fine with the Highway 27 exit which is closer to the west for you guys....
(that is the old Boardwalk and Baseball exit... gosh am I dating myself.... No I would be dating myself if I said that before that it was Circus World...lol...)

Anyone know anything about that area?....
I can do a little bit of research- or we can just meet somewhere at that exit around noonish- and go from there.... We have plenty of time to firm up the plans.....

Well, if anyone likes fish - especially catfish, there is a great little place in St. Cloud:

Catfish Restaurant Link - Directions

Scroll down on the page to Catfish Place Restaurant of St Cloud .

Haven't been there in years, but it used to be REALLY good!

ISG

That sounds good to me.... I have aol and did some research and it picks it as a top pick in that area....

The address is
2324 13th Street
St Cloud, FL 34769

You guys can map it and see if its "doable"....
According to the user reviews, it still is a REALLY good place....
I'll pencil it in too...
Time anyone?.....
