I'm still up North, but hope to meet you all at the October function. Have fun.

I have attended two TOTV lunches, and I have really enjoyed meeting the faces behind the names. I didn't really think a lot about the location of the meeting.

And I hope to be at the October 18 meeting as I will be in TV then. Just my two cents, and not meant to ruffle any feathers. Hope you all enjoy yourselves on Friday!

Well said Schaumburger!

As my husband is coming to TV without me (my choice I know) he shall be in TV during the time the TOTV meeting in October so perhaps he can pop in and say hello and put some faces with the names of all the fantastic people we chat with on this forum. We have spoken to our Agent, and Solicitors today so our move may be taken place quicker than we expected! So just maybe I will get to meet everyone in November, fingers crossed. Hope everyone has a good time at this next TOTV meeting at Crispers

Promoting the monthly TOTV luncheon at Crispers is fine.

Please disregard inaccurate statements about mentioning businesses.

As a reminder, self promotion of your business or service or recommending a business in which you have a personal interest are prohibited. Numerous unsolicited recommendations for a business also raise red flags. This protects the paying advertisers that keep TOTV alive and operating.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Now, on to cleaning up all of the off topic, inaccurate posts.

The owners of this forum from time to time have sent ambassadors to the Crispers meetings with little surprises. Not every time but once in awhile.

The Crispers meetings are legendary. They were started by a group of posters on TOTV many years ago and with the help of many different hosts and hostesses over time have continued.

ALL are welcome to this informal group, no reservations are needed, just show up at three at Crispers on the third Friday of the month. Someone will give you a name tag and mostly we meet on the outside patio. Some buy lunch, most buy cold drinks. (no liquor sold there) and we usually sit in a circle and introduce ourselves and chat. Many warm smiles and hugs and belly laughs happen. We have had as few as five and as many as fifty over time.

I don't think we will be able to be there this week but people who you have never met, but know well from reading their posts will be there.

Don't miss it.

That must keep you pretty **** busy! (Oops, sorry. Off topic...)

Rats! Can't make it this month because hubby and I both have a doctor appointment at 3:00. Crisper's is waaaay more fun. Hopefully, next month. Enjoy!

I'm very bothered by this thread. I don't understand how bad the comments are that so many had to be deleted by our Moderator. This is very sad because this Crispers luncheon was set up as a meet and greet by many of our original TOTV members and we never had any disagreements on how and when this should take place. All we cared about was meeting each other and having fun. We should all get back to this attitude and let's let this Moderator go back to enjoying his life.

To give you an example of how this was all set up, here are some links from back in '07 or '08 regarding the formation of Crispers lunch. So let's go back to enjoying ourselves and join in on the Crispers monthly luncheon.

All is well, KathieI.... one unhappy member posted some inaccurate information that got folks excited. All cleaned up.

Have fun at Crispers...

Thank you, Mr. M for the clarification. Obviously, I couldn't see what was deleted. But let me say, we don't like even ONE unhappy member, everyone should be happy, this is the greatest place and forum. Hope to see ya all on Friday.

Kathie, I don't think there were nasty posts. I think Mod was talking about innacurate posts--i.e., not being able to mention businesses (which is allowed unless you're self-promoting). I think he was just setting the record straight. As to off-topic, I've been following this particular thread from the start, and I don't remember much of that either.

I am looking forward to going to Crispers tomorrow. We missed last month and I always look forward to it. Getting together with people on this message board has always been such fun. See you tomorrow TOTV'ers. Ellen

[redwitch]

I'm going to try to make it. Here's hoping no emergencies come up.

Sorry, I do volunteer work every other Friday afternoon and this is my week. Maybe in October.

See you all next month. I have to stay home and wait for Redwitch to stop by.

Just kidding. Sweetie has to wait for her, I have an appointment I can't change.
