jenL Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've met sheryl IRL at horseback riding lessons for our kids, so I know she's nearby, but I'm not sure where. I'm thinking there MUST be some moms in the Charlotte, NC area, but I have yet to meet others (btw, I'd love to if you're out there!).

dm379 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 As far as I know, I'm the only one in Korea.

TXMary2 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Have any of you in or around Austin attempted a meet up? I remember seeing that at least one member was part of the LWOL group, but I've not been active in that group for the past couple of years, so can't remember who it was. If anyone wants to meet IRL, I'm game. :) I am game for that :) What is LWOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) I live near Jennifer in MI, but we have yet to meet. I don't know where you are, Angela, or where the ladies you mentioned are. But I live in a suburb about 45 minutes north of Detroit. If you're near, feel free to pm me! I live about an hour & 20 minutes north of Detroit (theoretically... we all know what it's really like due to construction :tongue_smilie:) It takes me about 50 minutes to get as far south as Clinton Twp. ETA: There are two others within 30 minutes of me, but since I use my real name, I probably better not out them.

Caroline Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Me too, also Caroline & Rocker Mom (though she's a bit north of us) I had no idea RockerMom was close to us. I am wondering if a mom from soccer is on here. I know she homeschools. I might ask her on Saturday. And CathieC and I grew up in the same town, but neither of us live there anymore.

QueenCat Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Cool! I wonder if I know you IRL. I live in the Cheatham Robertson Co area. Love McKays too! It's pretty easy to figure out who I am from my screen name..... What groups are you involved with? I'm in CHARA, Hope@Home, and we go to CHET.

Jumping In Puddles Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm in Northern NJ. I know there's a couple others in NJ, including robin in NJ, but I'm not sure which part. I know quite a few in central Jersey but not many in northern NJ. Where are you? I'm from Ridgewood and I'm often there for errands and family but I live in Sussex county now. I only know of one other person nearby and that is Testimony although I've never met her. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I am about 30 minutes north of Mobile, AL. I don't know if we have any boardies in my neighborhood. I'm in North Alabama. Not sure who else is close, but I'm sure there are several. I'm an Alabama girl as well. I'm in south Alabama however; north of Panama City. I know lately I've seen several people indicate they were in south Alabama. I've been wondering if some of them are on my side. It also puts me only about 3 - 4 hours from those in Atlanta and we are in Atl often. It would be fun to have an Atlanta get-together of some sort.

Aubrey Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I don't have any idea who I live near. I live just outside of Fort Worth TX. If you live near me, I would love to know. Oh, I get lost every time I try to go to Azle, so other than the time warp I get trapped in on 820, we're pretty close. Ish. Except we're moving. :001_huh: I don't know if it's further or closer, though. Depends on the mood of 820 that day. So I'm feeling almost friendly these days, & I think we should try a DFW get-together. I don't mind emailing everybody or whatever, as long as y'all understand that I'm going to get panicked butterflies in my stomach the week before & then try desperately to get out of it at the last min, when dh shoves me out the door.

Hill Co Classical Academy. Gooblink. TejasMamacita. vonfirmath. I think also TXMary2. I know IRL: Adrianne in TX, amctm (I can't remember all the a's and c's and m's in that one - but it's Ann), sullymom and balle26 (I think that's it:confused:). I'm sure I'll think of lots more. And I know there are so many from DFW, and Houston, etc. TX is a big place! I'm also in Central TX- in Temple. We've only been here a year and a half and I am just getting to know some of the other homeschooling families, but I've often wondered if any I've met are WTM boardies too. :D Have any of you in or around Austin attempted a meet up? I remember seeing that at least one member was part of the LWOL group, but I've not been active in that group for the past couple of years, so can't remember who it was. If anyone wants to meet IRL, I'm game. :) I'm on a Yahoo list for Austin area WTM folks: AustinWellTrainedMind. Anyone else on there? I joined hoping there would be some northern suburbs meetups (we'd drive down for that!), but it's not a very active group and the only park days I've seen were in central Austin.
