Doran Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That was "Alphabet Pam" (aka: SFSOM). I've had phone conversation, email, and mail exchange with JennifersLost and regular email exchanges with Nicole M, Jane in NC, Mama Bear, and Amy in Orlando. Crissy printed and shipped me a beautiful pair of periodic table posters, and Amy in Orlando shipped me some soap products. A few others of you have sent me books/curriculum, so I feel like I "know" you at least slightly better. But I guess I really only have voice or facial recognition between the first two. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I know amy in ohio, but I don't know if she came over to the new board? Haven't seen her in a while here... I used to go to church with ClassicMom (Candace,) and I know Michelle My Belle from a local homeschool group. I've met OhElizabeth once at convention in the math booth. And I know some lurkers here... I think that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwilliams1922 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think it would be really cool to get to meet people from the board. anyone in or planning to be in the norh East? I'm in Norhtern NY. There aren't a lot of hs'ers doing things along these lines here (that I know of). I feel bad often because i'm bad with names. I can exchange emails or posts people but I would have a hard time remembering conversations or people if I encountered them again or in person. ...mommy brain...

Amy from WT Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'll be the first person Anj forgot.....I got to meet her at the ENOCH convention this year! That was a treat...she's so much fun! And now it's my turn to forget people...but oh I hope not! Testimony and I have been good buddies here in NJ for a long time. She's a sweetie. I know Michelle in NJ (sometimes I mix up what her board name is, though, so I hope I'm remembering the right Michelle!). I'm proud to say I've had the joy of being e-mail buddies with OhElizabeth, Lizzie in MA, Kimber, Heather in VA, and TracyR. It was awesome to meet Lizzie in MA just this past month, and I look forward to spending more time with her next year when I have more time with my parents on Cape Cod....we had fun discovering that we share a church family!

Peek a Boo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 hm...... as far as actually KNOW/ knew/ spent time w/ on a regular basis, I'd have to start with Sabrina in NY [what's her new screen name?]. She was the one in our homeschool group who turned me on to SOTW, and i found my way here [the old boards] while doing that. We used to go hang out at Friendly's after the monthly meetings. When we moved back to San Antonio, Pammy and Kinsa were in our Scout Troop, so we saw them every Monday night :D When we moved to Keller, I hung out w/ leslie in tx every so often so the kids could play. her son babysat my son's beta fish :) i don't think she posts too much lately tho..... Now that we are settled down south of Dallas, the only one I actually spend time with regularly is Mtn Mom, but she doesn't post as often as i do -she has much more restraint :D but MET: the list of gals that Amy loves Bud posted at the HER gathering.... [PaulaW (from oldboards), Theodwyn, LisaK, Teresa in TX, Robin in DFW, Stephanie not in TX, Susie] and who was it that we met at the HER store---it was their anniversary? they had a dear, sweet, patient dh, lol....Dana? Diana?...from...Oregon? we've done a couple more HER store get togethers --at the one in D'ville I met w/ the Really Tall Lisa [what was her screen name?] and classicalmomto6. at the bread place [Panera?] we met CindyG, Aubrey, and Jami. I've met CindyG's *horse* :D I spent the night at Ellie's --the hostest w/ the mostest! I even got chocolate on my pillow! how cool is THAT!??! At the Arlington Convention a couple years ago i met...Happy?... at the IEW booth. On my trip to Quantico i met Chris in VA and Laura in VA, Nick'sMama-Zack'sMamatoo, and went shopping w/ Moni Moni. and just w/in the last couple months I got to meet [on a double date w/ dh] clwcain, his lovely wife and their cute youngest kidlet :) am I forgetting anyone? Now I gotta take a trip up north to see Remudamom's horses :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Several of us in WA have met, at least 4 have been to my house.

I know Patty Johanna and Needlerozzer quite well. And Frogpond. And I know that I've met other people IRL who I was told were on the board but I don't know their board names.

Mama Bear Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Several of us in WA have met, at least 4 have been to my house. MamaBear and I carpool to the dinners up north, and she is a delight to tete-a-tete with. Aw! (blushing and waving) Back at ya, ma'am. I feel like I know so many of you like sisters but would probably be shy in person (more blushing). I can't remember everyone, but there are a few who sorta stick out... ;) M - our kids are very close in age and the various high and low points of life have added up to sticking closer than a brother. kalanmak - makes positively wicked food and conversation -- I look forward to opportunities to ride with her Pam SFSOM - verbal sword wielder and blankie hunter extraordinaire (we still tear up over that one) -- and you do not want to tick her off. :D Amy in Orlando - has sent me actual soap. Yum. HomeontheRanch - actually helped pack my house when our second-borns were only weeks and days old, respectively. Crissy, Patty in WA, frogpond1, Needleroozer, and oh, crud, other people whose board names I can't remember... Too many of you to count, including The Book Samaritan (Ree), have sent books and materials (even maternity clothes) -- which have saved us more than once over the last few years. And there's an always growing list of people I'd like to know -- when I have time to get here, this is a highlight. I mostly miss the kerfuffles (though, seriously? you people are scary when your moral sensibilities have been offended -- not many folks on the planet become more articulate and logical when outraged. Hmmm -- perhaps we should take over the world...) ;) and really appreciate that so many brilliant, kind people care enough about this journey our kidlets are on that they/we keep coming back and propping each other up. Awesome stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
