CAMom Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I know CAMom (Ronette) ;) There's my pal! (I know her, too. ;)) Love you, Friend!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't know anyone from on here irl. I would love to meet up with someone but I guess I tend to scare everyone away. I'm not scared of ya! I'd love to meet you sometime! I also have spoken on the phone with, emailed, and pm'd OnTheBrink. I can not find the right words for how wonderful OTB really is and I'm getting choked up thinking about it. :crying: She only knows me from the boards but when I didn't even think I could take another breath, she was there for me. She may be the kindest, most unselfish person I've ever known. Aww, you're a doll. *smooches* :001_wub: I've met: Michelle in MO, Strider, Dragon Academy (whom my dd calls "the nice dragon lady"), Jessie Wise at a conference, SapphireStitch. Well, I've sorta met her. Turns out that even though she lives half a country away from me, her extended family is my circle of friends! So, I've met those who share her DNA. Close enough. There are several boardies on my FB friends list, but I'm too tired to list them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I met a bunch at Cincinnati this year. I have a picture to prove!!! (but I won't post it!) :party: I was there! I've met quite a few WTM'ers at Cincinnati the past two years. It's been fun! Edited August 10, 2011 by Denise in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginszoo Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I don't know anyone here IRL. Maybe I'm a troll and just never realized...:scared: I've met you before. You didn't seem large and lumpy to me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've met Strider IRL. If Facebook counts,then add Astrid, elizabeth, Pam SFSOM, nmoira, and Mergath. And I meet Strider. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I don't know anyone from TWTM IRL. BUT, I guarantee I'm not a troll-- I've been here since the old board, before kilts, rep, and smilies! astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulLife Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I know Deana FL! I believe a few other moms from my Classical Conversations group are on here as well, but I can't remember exactly who right now. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalieclare Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have met some wonderful people from this board! I have one dear friend here who I've known since my freshman year of college; my husband and her husband were roommates at one time. I don't know if she wants to be outed so I'll leave it to her whether to reveal or not. But she is very precious to me! I've attended a few Seattle/eastside classical meetings where I've glimpsed some amazing homeschool mothers. I've been fortunate enough to hang out with Jean in Newcastle and her delightful progeny several times. And newlifemom is a blast to hang out with! And my children wish they would just move in with us. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaSheep Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've met you before. You didn't seem large and lumpy to me. :D Hey, you're right! I forgot you were here. You're being too quiet. Ahem...I've met Jerin in real life. Yes, yes indeed. I guess I'm real after all. Whew! Thanks. Also someone came up to me when I was reading WTM at the pool a year or two ago when dd was taking a swimming lesson and asked if I was on the forum. We chatted a little and I told her my username here, but she has never identified herself here. So I met someone else too, but I don't know who. Very mysterious...

Capt_Uhura Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I met SWB, I've known AuntPol for YEARS, I met CleoQc, Luckymama, Yellowperch, and countless others at the RFWP Valley Forge Conference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sort of. I'm much more funny and outgoing on the boards or email lists then I am when I first meet people IRL. After I get to know them then I'm much more like I am here but I tend to worry a bit about how they'll view my reserved and sometimes awkward self if and when we first meet. If I ever make it to NS, I know I'll like you! Renee in Fl (now in NC) is my cousin! Took me a year to realize it. :glare: Ruth in NZ OH! You're that cousin that lives in NZ! LOL I barely know anyone IRL, let alone anyone from this board. :001_smile: :grouphug: Renee in FL/NC and I are very close friends. I've met several other ladies in my area and "know" some others from other forums/websites, some of whom I am FB friends with and/or have talked on the phone with.

Renee in NC Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Renee in Fl (now in NC) is my cousin! Took me a year to realize it. :glare: Ruth in NZ I'm bumping this a little late, but I just saw this comment. I didn't realize lewelma was my cousin until she asked me on a thread.:001_huh: Duh...the name and location should have given it away!;) Cathmom is one of my best friends. Brenda in FL lived 5 miles from me in FL, but we never met. We both moved to NC and now our daughters share an activity together.:tongue_smilie: There is another poster I knew in FL, but I can't remember her user name (and I don't want to say her real name because I am not sure she posts it here.) I met several moms at a recent WTM get-together in Raleigh. Marineswife - I visited her twice when she lived near here. This included a fairly hilarious campout in her backyard in July where her dh rigged up a window unit. Yes, we had an air conditioned tent!:D I am sure there are others! ETA: I just saw cathmom's post above mine! Ruth, I obviously talk about you quite a bit since cathmom knew who you were.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Joanne. We go way back to her AZ days when we had babies in slings and toddlers. (Now they're teenagers.) I still miss her every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Not a single soul, AFAIK, and I think I like it that way. :lol: I once met momoften, but I don't think she posts here any more. Someone here once asked, "Do you tell your homeschooling friends about these boards?" One person responded something to the effect of, "I like being able to come here and spill my guts and know that nobody I know IRL will ever see it, and even on the off chance that they did, they wouldn't know it was me." That's kinda how I feel. :p Edited October 17, 2011 by ereks mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It turns out I know transientChris. We used to be in the same hs group and were in a book club together before she moved. She's been to my house for a book club meeting. So, I guess this means she and I are both real. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
