Meet-Up Re: Mid and East US Meetup
#40: April 16, 2015, 10:22:28 AM
Hmmmm  :o :o :o :o
 Poconos is where H and I honeymooned 35 years ago, but since we are reconciling that would not be a problem or would it???
  Hard to pass up meeting everyone.  It would be a long drive for me so I would probably be a flight too :)
Will think on it ??
thanks for all the info already, you all work fast!

Yes. We try to get things done me and my friend XYZ.  ;)

So, prob ahead of myself but I started to make a list of stuff we can each commit to bringing with regard to food and drinks for the LBS Lair.  ;) Split it into 18 for now. Hope we get that or more for a turn out. That would qualify for group rate (10 room: the lair and 9 1 bedrooms). Called them last night.

1. Wine and liquor and mix (2 people)

2. Chicken (2 people)

3. Pork chops (1 person)

4. Steak (1 person)

5. Seafood (2 people)

6. Chips, pretzels, etc...and dip (1 person)

7. Sodas, juice, lemonade, iced tea (1 person)

8. Fruit, milk, yogurt and bagels (1 person)

9. Veggies (for dipping, salad and cooking), salad, salad dressing (1 person)

10. Paper plates, cups, napkins, utensils, plastic wine glasses (1 person)

11. Eggs, bacon, sausage, turkey bacon, turkey sausage (2 people)

12. Waffles, syrup, butter, jelly, orange juice, milk (1 person)

13. BBQ sauce, mayo, mustard, bread, cold cuts (1 person)

14. Pasta, ground beef, ground turkey, sauce (1 person)

Forget anything? Lol

You ARE AMAZING.

I went to a week long yoga retreat once and once we knew who was coming, we assigned two people to plan for that meal, breakfast/lunch/dinner and 2 people who would be responsible for the cleanup. It worked well.

10 people would be wonderful!

I think that if it is confirmed, maybe others from Canada, Overseas or even Australia might be able to plan something to combine vacation and the meet up. That is what I did when I went to the European ones. I combined the metope with some travel.

I think that sometimes, especially for LBSers it is so hard to commit because life is difficult financially and with our whole world up rooted it is hard to make plans for the next day let along further down the line.

In my "early years" I actually was reluctant to make plans just in case he changed his mind and wanted me back :o

LOL I was also concerned that it would be very sad and morose and heck, I didn't know these people! But indeed, it was the exact opposite. :)

I am in DE. Poco is are ok but the beach would be better!  But I could make it possibly in the Poconos if the divorce hasn't ruined me by then. It cod be finalized around then (bad timing ?)

I'm only a four hour drive away so I wouldn't miss it. Especially if there are going to be party animals.  :)

I've gotten used to having my own bed. I think I'd want to stick with that.

Brain, lad to see another male joining this gathering.  It felt kind of awkward thinking about being the only guy to attend.  Looking forward to it!

If you are feeling down, know that God Has always had a wonderful plans for you.  Unfortunately, there are things that happen and forces that work to try and keep us from reaching what He has for us.  The good news is that there is healing at work.  God is always working in and through your life to try to get you to where He wants you.

Yes, a suit. A bikini actually. Just make sure with all you got up there that it's secure so you don't show your Nah-bbs.
