The next meeting will be this Friday, on August 19th, at 3 PM, located in the Southern Trace Shopping Mall, off on 466.

This meeting will be hosted by Eileen, as Don H and Ellen will be away. I will not be able to attend.

Come one and come all, no invitation needed.

This club was started by TOTV readers more than nine years ago and people who were interested in the name behind the screen name and personality of posters on TOTV began to meet at a restaurant next to Publix on 466 every month called Crispers.. I can't name all of the hostesses over time, but Barefoot was one of the folks at the beginning, Samhass, KathyI, were there.. We have never in my memory ever had anything but pleasant times, never a disagreement. It is on the third Friday of the month at three in the afternoon, and the group usually meets on the outdoor patio.Nametags are provided. It has been so hot, that attendance does drop in the really hot months. Eileeny, who has been to many, many, meetings over time and many with her beloved Skyguy, now gone, will be the hostess today. In the past couple of years, maybe longer Ellen and Don have hosted but they are on vacation so Eileen has graciously stepped in this month. Folks usually get something cold to drink, some have a late lunch or early dinner and we usually sit in a circle and introduce ourselves and a bit about us, and just chat, many times for two or three hours. Very warm group. Anyone who reads TOTV is welcome. It is a different group each month.

It's not really a club with a membership. Visitors and friends are welcome.
It's more of a casual get together in a relaxed setting. Gracie posted a good description.
It's fun, especially for newbies who post on TOTV. A good way to meet new friends!

We had a real small group today. It was Opmoochler and myself. We found that we have a number of things in common including growing up in NY. Hope to see more people in Sept.

Thank you Gracie and Barefoot in replying to the poster who asked if we were a club. I forgot to check TOTV before I left my house.

I had an appointment at 12:15 PM to give platelets at One Blood which usually takes a few hours then I had a bunch of errands around US 441/27.

Sometime I may show up at one of these Crispers' meetings hopefully when more people are there and especially Graciegirl and some of the posters I have not met in person yet.

I am making a very hard effort to meet many new people. Best way to get over what turned out to be a bad match for a romance is to find someone new to obsess over and try to make happy.

I was disappointed not to meet a bunch of you, but enjoyed chatting with eileenny2tv. I usually can't get out on Fri afternoons, but hope to catch more of you the next time I do get out.

Here's a photo from Sept 09 and I suspect it was too hot outside, so we all sat inside in the a/c. Summertime usually had low attendance, since so many people leave the heat for cooler weather. Its fun to look at these old pictures on my computer.

I would have loved to be with both of you. My back was acting up today and I had to miss.

I do not think I have been to one of these since my then neighbor just to the South here in Lynnhaven was going too. She passed a few years back. I think of her every time I walk past where she used to live with her husband. This was Donna. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...rs/donna-5624/

Cannot say I remember her husband's name but seem to recall he was/is a helicopter pilot.
