Title: Where Are You?
Post by: NinjaGirl on November 07, 2010, 09:00:28 AM: Please delete this thread if this isn't allowed...

Just wondering where people live. I'd love to meet some of you folks IRL someday... Me, I'm in the SF Bay Area, CA. If anyone is near and wants to go for a drink, mtbing, coffee, wotever... I'd love to get together with other folks in the same boat.

You can connect with a lot of us on the ALt. (FB)if you would like.

Not the same as IRL but a close second.

There is a thread about it or you can PM me.

Post by: Rollercoasterider on December 20, 2010, 08:22:14 AM: I am a bit concerned about people putting their locations, but some of you may want to find others in your area so you can meet in person.

If you are comfortable doing that, you may use this thread to connect and then exchange more detailed information through the Private Messaging system. Maybe people should start with region or state/province and narrow it down through PM's.

If anyone has a better idea to do this and maintain privacy, please let me know.

Post by: In this for ME on December 21, 2010, 02:42:45 PM: Yeah ..imagine all the LBS's that don't have a computer..or even know about this site.

The economy can't possibly be helping families that are enduring the stress of unempolyment etc.

I wonder maybe if this is a mad plot by the government to make more money at tax time with all the people who will have to file "single" now such as myself since I had no choice for the divorce. ;) Lord knows now that we're divorced we won't get the tax breaks we did get.
