Chris in VA Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Thought it would help me remember you all better if I could put you into geographical groups! lo So, who do you know lives close by you--say, within a half hour? You don't have to know them personally. ETA: Someone made a good point further down in the thread--maybe don't "out" someone who hasn't got their location listed.

Tess in the Burbs Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I just moved, so not sure who all is up here. I have met two boardies though. NovaMama and MariannNOVA. I hope to meet others soon! I know there are many living in N. VA, so who else wants to come play with us?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't know about half an hour, but I live within driving distance of JoyfulMama. We once drove about 45 minutes each (I think) and met halfway at a playground so our kids could play while we chatted. It was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Wouldn't it be cool there was one of those map with a dot for every WTMers so people could see if there were others nearby - like lurkers or people who hang out on other boards that they might not run across.

That was back when I was in Bendigo though, so three hours north-west of where we are now. I will save up to visit Melissa, but she's nearly as far away as Hannah :tongue_smilie: and Peela has promised to escort me to an SCA event when I eventually rattle my way across the Nullabour to drop in on her and Amber :) Rosie Edited September 7, 2010 by Rosie_0801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
