Angel Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've met Jan in OH at the Midwest Convention. She spotted my pink "Going to Grandma's" suitcase that I was dragging around to put all my goodies in. Another friend from co-op is on the board but I can't remember her name. By some of the other posts, I know that I'm near a few of you. I've always been a little shy of giving info on the net, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FO4UR Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I only know 1 person irl, as far as I know. She doesn't post much, and I haven't seen her around here in quite a while. (She's probably busy teaching her dc, or something. LOL) I have seen several people from another board that I've been on for years. They can vouch that I'm not a troll.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avila Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) I know several of the DFW WTMers. I have met Apryl H, Caayenne, Jinnah, Pfamilygal, Aubrey, and all their sweet kids. Poor Aubrey gets around quite a bit for an introvert! :001_smile: I am really good friends with z_2mom, but she doesn't post that much. I email back and forth with OpenMinded. And I have several more ladies on FB with me. They are all lovely, wonderful, genuine people. Not a troll in the bunch! :D Edited August 8, 2011 by Asenik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've met Strider IRL as well. At the InHome conference in IL. Can't think of any more boardies I've met face-to-face.

swellmomma Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Does anyone fear not being liked irl by Boardies? Yup! I have only met Specialmama (i think, lol it was basically in passing at a homeschool used book sale) and Impish (to drop something off), each only once for a very brief moment, so no way to tell if they thought I was nuts or something. I have not met anyone else, but do worry they would not like me irl if they met me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I used to give her a hard time because I only saw her at co-op and never her son (the swimmer) :lol:. I told her I didn't think he existed.

jenn&charles Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Never met anyone from this board IRL. Ahhh...I guess I should admit it. I'm a troll and I don't really have any kids at all. I just like to make up curricula and schedules and all that. It's my mental illness...* :tongue_smilie: Well, not really... But I will admit my son's name really isn't Otter!!! ;) (*disclaimer: I am just joking around here and not making fun of those with mental illness... and for those of you who have shared things like that, I really admire your honesty and understand it's a serious issue, etc. etc. etc. I hope you all get the idea and no one is offended.)

Rosie_0801 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Almost got to meet Rosie...and then she moved! When we returned to Oz, it was near Rosie's neck of the woods,and I was hoping to finally meet her in person, only to find out she moved into Keptwoman's backyard:tongue_smilie: Yeah! Why do you think I invited you to that SCA camping event? It was over your way! But you were having a baby, which is a good reason not to show. :tongue_smilie: We'll make it back over there eventually, I hope. Dh is hoping to move to Woodend or Riddells in a couple of years time. That's half way around and should get us playing with that crowd again more often. :) Or maybe I'll win Tattslotto and go 'back to booktown' one year. That's the only circumstance in which I could imagine trusting myself. :D :seeya: Rosie Edited August 8, 2011 by Rosie_0801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've met Ellie-- I inherited her hermit crabs a few years ago (they are HUGE now!). I've met Peek A Boo (at Ellie's house once) I've talked with BUNCHES of WTM people on the phone. I've had several WTM kids in my math classes. I talk with Newbie several times each week--just got off the phone with her in fact! She is my bestest friend that I've never met! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 JennW lives down the freeway from me; she's rescued me from many Aspie-induced panics and is the nicest, most lovely friend I could hope to have. Have also met Kay in Cal, but she is no longer in Cal; her family moved back east. My dd and dh met Cheryl in SoCal at the ranch where her son is doing his knight school training. I have mailed packages to michele-one-l and Corraleno. Either the goods disappeared into a postal black hole or someone live did get them on the other end. And either they sent me fake pictures or they do have real live children! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
