Monthly TOTV Gathering at CRISPERS

Our monthly TOTV gathering is Friday, April 19 at 3:00 pm on the patio at CRISPERS. All are welcome! For all the "newbies" come on out for an hour or two and meet your fellow posters. Hope to see the "regulars" there too. Crispers is located at 3551 Wedgewood Lane off of 466. See you Friday!

LOL, don't laugh but I did bring one of my doggies one time when I couldn't take the time to bring him home and make it in time for the lunch. It worked out fine, everyone loved him and we were outside that day.

BTW, I met a lovely lady last night at Waterfront Inn who is a lurker on here, sorry I can't remember her handle. It was sweet, she recognized me from my picture. She told me she might come to Crispers on Friday, and I am urging her to come so I can talk to her again.

So if she's reading this,,, yes, I will be there. See ya all later.

I'll be there with bells on!

We plan to be there. Looking forward to meeting new fellow TVers and others we met before as always.

Looking forward to it

Although in the middle of unpacking in Sanibel, SanFran Dianne and I plan to attend this gathering and hope to meet other TOTVers.

Unless the "crick" rises, I'll be there. Maybe with bells, maybe not!

I will be there on Friday Terri. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cannot find my bells. Will be there anyway.

We have a conflict but still should be able to "hang" for an hour or so.

I have never attended Crispers meetings, not that I did not want to, it was just never an option, but it might be sometime. Along those lines, I have a question as to how one would be welcome/perceived in person as compared to how they are perceived to be online, or maybe there is no different - I don't know.

I was a fascinated lurker for several years, then I began to post "I don't want to ruffle anybody's feathers" type posts, then one lonely night I posted all my "heart and sole" type posts, then I hid for a while and let OleDave post for me, then recently I have posted some "I really have something to say" type posts. But basically, in person, I'm really just a pretty nice person who enjoys good company and good conversation.

So I guess what I asking is - how is one perceived and welcomed - as they are online or as they are in person? Or maybe there is no difference.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I find that when I go to Crispers, I can't remember the online personalities of the posters I meet there. Everyone just goes and has a very cordial, friendly time. So don't worry! Just come and meet and talk to people.

I'm sorry I can't be there this month. Hopefully next month before we go home for the summer.

Will try to make the tail end. I am playing golf at 2 so perhaps it's just wishful thinking!

We usually hang out until 5:00 so if you can make it come on out!
