Just had the great pleasure to actually meet in person dramamama and her hubby. Really nice folks, they stopped by our house here in Eastport this evening. I had told them to look for the yellow house on Boynton with the WV license plates and they found me. It's always so nice to put a face to a poster. We had a really nice talk for about 45 minutes.

Anyone else on here met in person?

How cool! I can't wait to meet many of you in person at our new house when we get moved. Going to throw a big bash!! Lot's of free booze!!!! Just bring your own dates!

Arzachena and her family are meeting us in Lafayette soon. It'll be the half-way point for both of us while they're down this far. I'm SO excited about the get-together. We'll take pics!

WOO HOO! Corgis I just got to talk to her on the phone!! how cool is that?! I'm really, really going to try to get to see her before she heads back, and we decided we're coming to pick you up to go out if I can get back on my feet enough! I'm so excited! She's the first person I've ever talked to from here! She sounds great....and she's having a fantastic time. And Corgis, she loved meeting you!

Isn't that so neat after writing back and forth and getting to know such special people just to hear their voices for the first time. It's like seeing their face. Sometimes you peg them, like with FB, and sometimes they look so completely different than you expected. Usually a very nice surprise! Some people you think, oh well, they'll probably look sweet, then you see a pic, and think "*AMN! She/He's pretty hot!!"

Very cool experience most of the time! Just gotta watch out for the loonies!!

Molly - that would be so cool to be with the two of you - we are leaving for WV on Thursday as is dramama and it would just be icing on my cake to spend some time, have lunch, just sit and talk, just to meet before I leave for the season.

Dramamama understood my user ID of corgis as soon as my 3 corgis met her and hubby at the door. I also use that ID to sell on eBay. I have been a member of the Q & A board there for almost 10 years. I volunteer answering questions from new users. So if any of you are selling or buying on eBay and have a question or problem, please let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I'm hoping I'll be up for it! Keep your fingers crossed

That's good to know about eBay--I appreciate that!

You 'pegged' me?

Then later you say that soemone else is 'hot', so obviously I am a different category other than 'hot'; yet you pegged me.

hmm.

One lady who is a lurker here, she has never posted. Though she does read through these threads, noticed that she lives very near me.

And she is a customer at the Farmer's Market where I sell produce.

So she PM'ed me. Introduced herself, she said that she had been at market and thought that she knew who I was.

We met. Her, her husband and I.

We have been having Saturday evening dinners at each other's homes, we alternate each week who hosts that dinner.

We have now traded goats, I rake-up and haul away their surplus rabbit and goat manure [for my gardens]. I have helped them to haul hay. Last weekend I slaughtered a dozen rabbits for them. They are now buying feed for our hog and we intend to split the pork when I do butcher it.

They come to the VFW meat Raffles with us the last two months.

And I will soon be re-wiring their barn to bring heated drinking water to their chickens, goats and rabbits.

Her log-on here is: KiddinAroundFarm

//www.city-data.com/forum/membe...arm-69246.html

We will likely be driving to the Common Ground Fair together.
