No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I'm still in shock but I survived. It's funny, we both look like supermodels. What are the odds? And you can make Ratchets day by describing how you decided to have a pillow fight, in slinky pjs. ETA - no offense Rachets. You were the first guy I noticed posting on this thread.

Well I got there and she waved, so my big "notmsnmoney" cardboard sign really did its job. Then we talked awkwardly for a bit and bad mouthed everyone else at the park. We both dressed our kids inappropriately for the weather. It was freezing and my 11 month old had no hat on. So after standing around freezing our butts off we lied to our kids and told them it was lunch time and that we had to leave. I think that about sums it up.

She is kind of like I pictured her. Well, not looks wise, cause I thought she was Asian, but personality.
I am pretty sure that she can testify now how lazy of a parent I really am. (I can't be the only one who doesn't like pushing their kids on a swing, right??)
Other than that, I thought it was very nice.

As far as slinky pjs - well, all the ones that I have are in my pre-children size. I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to fit even one leg into them anymore

Well, LOONY....sometimes people who aren't related get along with each other. These types of relationships are knows as "friendships". interaction between "friends" is the cornerstone of this type of relationship. So a face-to-face interaction is just the natural progression after speaking with each other online. I hope I cleared that up for you! ETA: I'll see you when I get to Philly!!!

Cause ax murderers and 30 something man boys that still live with their mom make the best drinking buddies. Not saying which one Firebird is by the way. You'll have to find out for yourselves.

Funny enough I live in the same city as Virgil, and we don't want to ever meet each other.
I have met Nancy though and I loved that.

Awesome! If you guys aren't afraid of us Massholes we could have a big NE get together somewhere this summer! ...Canobie Lake, anyone? Canobie Lake sounds good. Haven't been there in years. I'll bring my DH so I can have priority parking aka handicapped parking. I don't suppose anyone would want to go to a KISS/Def Leppard concert at Great Woods/Tweeter Center/Comcast Center or whatever the hell name the place is now! I'd have to see if there are still any tickets but I want to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to go to Seattle! A work conference I go to makes its way to Tacoma every few years, so we may meet yet. I'd love to meet you and GG and HoneyBBQ and Crone... who else is up there? CK, sorry you guys are avoiding DH's dad. We should definitely go to lunch again the next time you're in the area. Maybe we can rope in Bsb and Phoenix too! I was waiting on Dark or Firebird to plan the big Vegas gettogether but then Firebird got her non-Proboards-friendly job and Dark is all busy with the store and stuff. I want to go to Vegas and see y'all. I'm trying to get to Vegas this Nov. for a work conference thing. Beth, I'm going to Vegas in November, too. What dates will you be there?

I'm actually going to be scary close to CarolinaKat starting Saturday evening. Sadly, I don't think I'll have time to meet up with her, though I'd love to.
midjd- when are you going to fall for my "come to Seattle" pitch. Not that any of the MANY of us who live in the Seattle area have ever gotten together.
Firebird is the only one I've met from here, and she asked me to pick her up at the airport and drive her to the deep dark woods on our first meeting. C decided that sounded to axe murdery, so he came with me to drive her to the deep dark woods, which seemed a little axe murdery to her, but we're both still alive.... Um, but you referred to three of you. FB, Shanen, and C. So which of you is still in the deep, dark woods?

Hmmmm, how do you know for certain that you haven't already met each other in some random public place?

Since you haven't officially met, it is of course entirely possible that you "meet" each other very regularly. If I were you, I'd be continuously looking over my shoulders for a man with an anti-snowleopard fetish. Who knows who is sneaking up on you

When standing in line behind a man at the grocery store, lean in & whisper "the snow leopards are gonna get you" & see how he reacts. greet every man you meet for the first time by saying "I love it when snow leopards eat people, don't you?" and see if he flinches.
