I DO SHARE MY SUPER SPECIAL WINE WITH PEOPLE I LIKE
I'm friends with many locals who post/lurk here, and I host often, and omfg these girls always tease me and bring me reisling lol. Who knew that one stupid post about cheap wine would follow me forever??
You are a good sport and for that you are one of my favorites.
Did you have a different screen name before, thebulldog?
I was sstrug and MrsSstrug on the old Nest. I have been on the boards since '04
chia started a cookie exchange GTG a few years ago and I have hosted it for the past five years (i stole it when she was pregnant) We had 20ish people the first few years....this year we had 70 rsvps. These was oodles of booze and a photobooth that everyone collectively sponsored. It was awesome. I did an ice cream gtg this summer too that had about 30 people. Booze AND ice cream.
I have met a bunch...including ESF when we randomly discovered we lived in the same apartment building.

Many GBCNers and DC ladies, mostly thanks to these GTGs. Thanks for being such an awesome hostess!!
Just a couple. bluejen22 and sarahlindsay (who didn't make the transition, or didn't stay long). I've also met jeana and boutime (from the ML drama a number of years ago). I feel like I know chilerellanos though because we are FB friends, and she lives in my state, but just far enough that a gtg is hard to do. I'd love to meet @buckybells some day, because she isn't extremely far. And of course, I am waiting for the day that volenti visits my area so I can take her to Warren Buffet's house.
I think everyone on the board should make a trip here for the Berkshire Hathaway meeting (because, uhh, how perfect for MM?) and then I can meet everyone.

We really need to plan a Des Moines get together. Let's make that happen when the weather is better!

Absolutely! One of my best friends moved back home (which is Albert City, IA and she works in Alta, Iowa) and we often meet in Des Moines or Sioux City for a girls day, so that drive is easy peasy for me. I'll write it down in my planner to get back to you around March and then we can plan something out.

Sounds like a plan! It's only about 1.5 hours or so drive for me, so easy too!

I was in town for Berkshire last year. gt7301b was there too, attending the meeting and bc the cell/internet service was so horrible in the area, we couldn't connect.
Are there, really? Yikes, I definitely underestimated then because aside from Boston posters I've met ladies from Chicago, NY, DC, and now London! Lots of SOs too
Sorry for those I've missed, and there are some others from the Nest. And you've met some others that I haven't and vice versa. See, easy to underestimate!

If you guys come this year, we should plan to grab a drink together.
Considering I was hanging out with 80 NJ Nesties last Sunday- easily over 100. Possibly closer to 150.
What was that about? Wow!
The NJ board had a GTG in memory of two Nesties that recently passed away. (One was murdered by her husband, the other died in a freak accident where a plane crashed on her house- that one was in MD and was national news). Many of us haven't posted in a long time but we reunited.
I never make any of the DC gtg's, it's really too far for day trip for me. I tried to plan a MMM one when I was in MD visiting, but it was a holiday weekend and everyone was busy (or maybe just didn't want to meet creepy me, lol).

My thoughts exactly!!! I didn't know this was your new name!

I live near where the plane crashed....I am glad you got together to remember M. If anything good can come out of those terrible scenarios at least it can recconect people. My thoughts are with you.
