I am FB friends with one person but haven't met any in real life. I know that Roc A Bee lives in a town near me and I am pretty sure @mrschicken lives in the same region, but that is about it. Not a ton of us nearby to have a gtg.
Maybe the stars will align and we can gtg!
That would be great! Well, only if you promise not to try making me into a skin suit.

I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple people here who know me personally, if not IRL. I've once or twice been told, "oh yeah, I saw you say that on the nest"... But I don't know what they go by here, or if they actually post.
Yes, mostly the ladies on H&F. The one MM DC GTG I was planning to attend last summer was cancelled because one of the ladies ended up in the hospital (hope she is better now!).
Would that be the infamous one from the old site that caused the San Diego board to implode? Or did you have another catfish that invaded the MN board?
ETA- you can come hang with us over on the SO board if you need to vent/chat/whine/etc.
That's the SDSU! Lol. I saw her once at Costco in Temecula, locked eyes with her, and just burst out laughing.
And thanks. I keep thinking about posting on SO but that makes it so real. And even though I'm the one who mostly wants it, it's still making me sad. Plus I'm afraid of the internet right now. Lol.
She was an odd duck. I have no idea what she was posting in MN but she did get a major flaming from the local board when she was bragging about her new car (that she was leasing for $800+ a month). I met her twice and was even at her apartment so I met her DH.
Definitely come to the SO board...we have booze, cookies and a love for kevin arnold 's amazing rack!
Maybe? I'm FB friends with some & I've met a few locals that post on MM/ML/HG but it 7ish yrs ago. I'm not good at translating online friends into IRL because it feels so weird at GTGs for me...whichbis weird since im totally an extrovert. I do have 2 IRL friends from TN but they don't post on GBCN that I know of.
Marmee, and you know two of my friends from college. One from your high school and one from your current town. They live in different parts of the country. Moms on this board have met me.
Yep. rbp, womet, @choco and others know I am a real live person. I was going to say I think RBP has met DD2 but actually I think nobody from the boards has. So maybe my children are fictitious* and you people will never know.
I can vouch for @carmensandiego, rbp, @choco, @kirkette, @gypsy, @charky, @mrsbamfb, bunch. Oh, and I even met orangeblossom at work. And @songforyou and runblondie26.
You met me too, womet and @carmensandiego. I know it was just once but we all went to Flip Burger.

Hmm, I've never met anyone from the board, I don't post very often, am not FB friends with anyone, have never posted a picture or used my kids names. Its not looking good for me but I swear I'm real.

I've only met @buckybells so hopefully she could vouch for me.
I think I can vouch for @shoegal even though I've never met her. She was super generous and send me her Canada park pass when I was going to the Rockies last fall
Probably not. I've been around since late 2006 but my total post count on TK/TN was in the 500s, I think. I obviously started posting more after the migration but haven't met anyone in person yet (that is, until the upcoming MMM Metro Detroit GTG!).
I met a handful of DC MMers at the brunch swizz organized a few years ago and there are several regulars here from the DC local board who have met my kid and DH and/or been to my house.

I met a bunch of the Boston girls at a GTG and am probably going to met up with them again in the near future. I also run frequently with another girl I met on another board. I also stayed friends on FB with a bunch of girls from my monthly knot board and we chat daily.

You sent me a wonderful secret Santa gift with your Christmas card, that counts right? I'll vouch for you
No worries! It was a big group. There was another poster with long black hair, she lived in the city and I don't think she posts anymore. Miss her. We need another ATL grt together.
I think so, even though I haven't met anyone from here in person. I'm FB friends with several people from here and there shouldn't be any conflicting stories between the two. Of course I don't really know the extent of what exactly went down, so maybe that's not enough.
I'm really surprised you've never met anyone from here in person! I think of you as one of the "old school" people on the board. You must live in a non-GTG-friendly place.
