Nakia Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Just to make sure we don't have anymore trolls, ya know. I jest. I know MamaT! Amazing lady with THE BEST KIDS!! Love her whole family! I also know thatcyndigirl. Well, we've talked on the phone a million times. She is also amazing, and we are planning to vacation together next year so we can meet IRL. :D ETA: I've also talked to Mama2005 on the phone! Hi Kim!

eternalknot Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Me, myself & I. I like it that way, TBH, even though it might put me on the short list of Potential Trolls. Oh, wait. Except that one time I had a freak WTM'r sighting at an airport. I was the spottee, not the spotted, so on second thought that probably doesn't help any. I posted about it recently.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Many of those who went to the Valley Forge convention, DominionHeather, Colleen in NS, AHASRADA. Oh, and SWB herself. ;-) Does that count? She did bring me a cup, just for me, at Valley Forge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I met battlemaiden in Hawaii. I have at least met several NC ladies. One boardie lives across the street from me. I have one person I am really close to who knows me well IRL. Oh, and I have met SWB!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dulcimeramy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I was just thinking I'd better meet somebody IRL. I have no street cred here, and I'm getting a reputation for Troll Hunting. That looks fishy. Four Sonlight boardies know me IRL, so that's a start. PM me if you need names. Anybody want to meet up in central Indiana, just to verify one another's existence in a Mom's Night Out kinda way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I've met Strider IRL. If Facebook counts,then add Astrid, elizabeth, Pam SFSOM, nmoira, and Mergath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I meet several at the PHP conference a couple of years ago. :) I'm real. I promise! LOL Besides, as I've said before, I'm too boring and been here too long to be a troll. I started looking at the boards in 2001. If I'm a troll I'd better find something interesting already, huh? :) Oh, and I meet SWB also and she was very nice. I'm sure she doesn't remember me though. ;) Edited August 7, 2011 by PinkInTheBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have met a few on here who live in the area. They aren't on all that often, but they are here. Someone vouch for me please! :D The three I can think of I have met aren't on here all that much though. I can't think of their screen names though.

MariannNOVA Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Face to face: danybug, tess in the burbs, a bunch of moms at the H/S convention last year at Dulles Expo Center -- if you bought MCT at that convention, you bought it from me. ;) I've spoken on the phone to Denisemomof4 and Impish. About half dozen who I email on my personal email account and we correspond about issues that have nothing to do with homeschool. And, a couple of wonderful boardies who live in So. Jersey have offered a helping hand to me when I have had to rush up there in an emergency. That's all I can think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I haven't met anyone here IRL but I do have two FB friends from here and Farmville. :D I'm friends with a lurker here.

angela in ohio Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I live near Michelle My Belle, Amy in OH (not sure she posts anymore,) and debbielong (ditto.)

higginszoo Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Probably several people, but the only one that's coming to mind that I know I've met IRL is Sharon in Austin ... her oldest dd and my older ds were on math team together for a while, and her dh taught a class at their house that ds attended. Angie W in TX lives a few miles away, but after years of knowing each other online for years and years, we haven't actually gotten together in real life since I moved here. There are people I know here from other online places that it would be hard for me/them to keep our stories straight over so many years and so many posts if we were making things up. (Dawn M comes to mind -- I've 'known' her since before she had her youngest). Edited August 7, 2011 by higginszoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Lee Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I've never met anyone from here that I know of. However, I met SWB at a seminar she did in Arkansas many years ago.

LaxMom Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Doran.

BamaTanya Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 No one currently. Several years ago I recognized a homeschool group friend but she either went back into lurking or quit the board. Guess that's why dh calls you all my "imaginary friends." I'll start telling him about someone's situation and he look at me quizzically. "Who?" And sometimes the answer is So-and-so in Such-and-such-place or an obviously not-the-real-name username and dh's lightbulb comes on. "So it's not someone you know." "Well, I DO know them. Online!" He doesn't get it. Of course, he's an introvert who doesn't keep up with his IRL friends and family more often than he needs to. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Oh I know Fivetails too!!!! How's she? I didn't know she was on facebook. Can you hook her up with me?
