    How about a get-together for all of us!
    Hi Everyone,

    I want to start this post by again expressing my heartfelt thanks to all of you. My breakup has been so very hard, and if it wasn't for this site and each of you here, I honestly don't know how I would manage. Your advise and friendship is priceless.

    I feel like I know all of you personally, even though we have never met face to face. And I think many (if not all) share this same feeling. Well, with that being said, how about we plan a get-together! I realize that we all live in different parts of the world, which that in itself is so great, but perhaps we can maybe plan a 'party' at some sort in a place that would be centrally located (thank you to 'Damaged' who suggested that idea :) ) for everyone. I know this will require a great deal of planning, but that can all be discussed over time.

    I would love to hear everyone's feedback, suggestions, comments on this.

    Thanks again!

    I would love to do this as well!

    Where are some of you from? Maybe we can see where a majority of people live and make a compromise and have a central location like said above...

    Any of the Ultra members have any suggestions/ideas?

    BTW I live in California

    That sounds great to me too. We usually meet in the Lounge on this site and have a bit of Virtual Fun!

    I live in Germany and not able to travel in the near future due to my illnesses, but you all know that I will be with you in spirit if not in body - -anywhere - I'll be there!

    After all, you are my Cyber-Family!

    That sounds AWESOME!

    I'm single, got some cash, very flexible schedule.

    Basically... Pick the dates and place and I will be there!

    Japan, Australia, England, Germany whatever... I'm there.

    How cool would that be? Great idea!

    I live in the Northeast corner of the USA.

    Lets not just talk about this... LET'S DO IT!

    Forgot that I was there too. From Heathrow on a train to Edinborough to see the Military Tattoo with all the bagpipes. That was wonderful!

    No matter what the weather, as long as the company is good, the time is good!

    The trick is to learn to walk between the raindrops... I'm still working on it, until then, there's always an umbrella.

    What could be better to get over a break-up than to plan an event like this?

    And with all of us at the party... WOW!

    Now that would be some serious therapy... Ha Ha

    We should meet somewhere in the middle of the US or more towards the east side considering that most of you are from there.. is it expensive to fly to that area from California? I really think this would be so cool to do.. we could all wear name tags of our screen names! Lol..

    Anyone else think it's a good idea? Tal, Kp, Altinweg, J9?? And any others?

    Guys this is great!! I am up for flying anywhere. Like I have stated I am in Long Island (Levittown) NY so it doesn't matter where we go.

    I agree Polska, LETS DO IT!! Name tags would be so cool too! Oh Man, this is going to be great! In the next few weeks or so we can all collectively come up with a place! Heck if my apt. wasn't so small, I would have everybody there! LOL! I am so excited for this..

    Romefalls - no worries.. We will be gentle with you LOL! (just kidding :-) )

    Hi Chery!

    That is so cool that you have traveled and lived in those places. (I am jealous :-) ) We would love for you to be with us, but understand completely. Even though you may not be able to be there physically, we know you are right there with us, and vise vera :-)

    By the way - I love the picture of you and your kitty cat. I am a huge cat person, and unfortunately lost my baby 3 months ago. He was my life.. and he kind of looked like your baby.

    Thanks starlite.. mx 'baby' is going on 18 years and he's more lapdog than cat. He even sits on my lap when I'm on the potty. He's the only 'man' in my life that I allow to cling to me because he deserves it. He's always there in good times and bad and does not demand much - just my love and I gladly give it.

    That's another reason I don't leave home much, because he acts up and pretends to barf when I get dressed to go shopping.

    What a cutie! They are the best that is for sure. My baby was my life. I loved that cat more than words can ever express, and I miss him so much. The unconditional love that he gave me and I gave him was amazing.

    Or worst case scenario, we have a meeting for the people in Europe and one for the US. We need to make this happen, I would like to personally shake Tal's hand
  • Jun 3, 2008, 10:59 AM

    That is a great idea Rome. We can have several get togethers in different locations at different times.

    I will give everyone hugs! You all deserve them for a great job you are doing for yourselves, and how you all help me!

    Do you know if Tal or any of the Relationship Counselors are interested?

    I think that's a great idea too, a meeting in Europe and a meeting on the eastern side of the US.

    Canadian here.

    I'd love to go to Germany, I have blood family there, but it's a bit expensive.

    Going to California in September, but only for a short time.

    Anywhere in the US is probably doable, just have to make sure hubby's okay with watching the rugrats while I'm gone, oh and the dogs, and rabbits, the bird and the fish.:)

    This is a great idea.

    Hey HC, we could finally do a shopping spree, weeeeeee! :)

    I guess I could just keep it from them, besides, I think they're still to young to really get the full Disney and Universal experience. How's the shopping in Florida?

    I guess we'd have to set a date, rent a hall, do a head count. This is going to be allot of work.
