elston - you'll have a whole nother getting to know you from online friends to real life friends. We'll have a great time with the ya-ya's and yo-yo's this coming year. I'm already excited about meeting the whole bunch of you.
I saw on TV all the cancellations! Snow is falling here, but very fine and light. We're not supposed to get much here I don't think. I did see that the report said that a changeover to rain may happen. I hope that doesn't mean we'll lose much of our snow before Christmas !
Maybe its a yaya thing? As much as I love "getting to know you, getting to know all about you" I can't imagine meeting outside of the on-line forum; and if we did, I know that the persons I "create" to go along with the words you post, would have nothing to do with the reality. I think it would be rather like going to a movie after reading the book--not that your "real" selves would be any less enchanting and fascinating and/or in some cases ornery....just meeting the "real you" would be so different, and it would be the death knell of the personnas I have met here. I want Agatha Christie's Miss Jane Marple not the actress in the little straw hat on Public Television. I want to keep you all, just as I envision you. Is that odd?
I've met a lot of people in person after meeting them online. It has always been a lot of fun. We had online friends from three states here for a weekend. They came to get their puppies. We had tents and campers in the yard. It was great! Women's Agricultural Network has been great too. The magazine I worked for held meetings in Vermont. We had a blast there. One person wasn't at all what I expected even though we spoke on the phone weekly.
When I met Stephen King and ..... oh...Herman Munster....you know... they were nothing like I expected. Herman Munster gave Kristin juice and Oreo cookies. And of course, he didn't quite look the same!
I used to be a wedding planner, so I'll have my two cents to throw in, but two cents do not a party make!!
