I might be able to meet you guys in TO. Lot happening with my imminent separation, so I'll have to wait until a little closer to the time to commit. Is it possible to run around part of the lake in Toronto? I'm still training for a half marathon later in May.

Yes, there are lovely paths to walk/run/rollerblade/bike on around the Lake...especially down around the Danforth area. There's no need to commit to anything..I'm going into town (first to Ottawa, then Montreal, then Toronto) to see family and spend Mother's day with my daughter..just wanted to get the word out so people who might be interested can make some plans.

Oh how I'd love for us all to be able to go to Algonquin Park. There is a wonderful resort in the park, one of my most favourite places in the world. I may have to get myself there this summer although it is a special place that my Beloved and I used to go t,o especially many moons ago when we used to camp. We went to a wolf howl one night and it was so incredible and the stars and the lakes...I love Colorado but there are no lakes!

Yes - I love Algonquin Park. The boys and I will be camping there this summer and will hopefully hear the wolves again. We heard them at night and saw them ( disturbed a couple of wolves when hiking - they ran off ) last time we camped there.

If you haven't been to it, another beautiful place at a different part of Algonquin is the Barron Canyon http://www.ontariotrails.on.ca/trails-a-z/barron-canyon-trail/ last time we camped there the four of us got up in the middle of the night to watch a meteor shower. Lovely memories.

That resort ( if it's the one I'm thinking of ) is fancy

So bummed out I cant meet you guys. I am in the Sarnia area and my sister lives in TO.

Maybe next time because I could really use some advise.

Yes, the resort is somewhat exclusive..the food is out of this world. It is about 8 km off HWY 60 on it's own lake. Actually, it once was a tuberculosis sanatorium....I haven't been to the Barron Canyon..must check it out.

There is a waterfall just west of the entrance to the park..I always thought that when I died, I'd like my ashes sprinkled there.


Have you ever seen moose in the park? I went on an interior canoeing trip and the moose were majestic! I get a little excited whenever I see wildlife in real life! Thanks for bringing up some good memories.

Hi everyone

Just a quick note about possibly meeting up with other LBS' that live in the Mid Atlantic region or east coast. I guess it all depends on how far we are willing to travel to have spend time with people who are going thru the same situation as us.  I thought this would be a good way to get a much needed break away from the daily grind and stress that MLC has thrown us in to. I live in Baltimore Maryland but am willing to travel either North or South to meet anyone that would some support through in person interaction. It would be nice to place a face with all the names of the wonderful friends I have met here.
Any suggestions or comments about this endeavour will be appreciated.

Hang in there everyone - together we will all make it through

Depending on the date.... I travel all the time for business.

I can attend...if it works out...timewise.

Whether you and I ever actually meet, I HIGHLY recommend meeting up with other LBS.... it was VERY healing for me to say my truth out loud. I give thanks every day for this forum where we can come out of hiding anonymously, but to look another human being in the eye and know they can joke about the terrible tragedy of MLC is a gift beyond belief!

Maybe one day we will have a national convention!! Can you imagine?

Bloody Australians we are such a different mob to the rest of you. Don't believe in counselling. Odd rules with break ups and child custody.
And I think I'm the only Aussie in the whole world who is a stander.
No one to meet here.

*waaah*

LOL

jealousy is a curse lol

Hey Shantilly

I've been doing the Euro Lottery with a view to allocating a large portion of my win to the LBS benevolent fund   

this would be to fund travel etc for us to get together. If I win you  are top of the list for a first class ticket to UK to meet us LBS's here....so we just need to send it out to the universe
