    In CO we meet monthly to do some kind of physical exercise or activity before going out to lunch. I've met about about 20, I think.
    In April we're going to meet twice. Once at a park + lunch, then the next weekend for a hike + lunch. It's great.

    Nope. In reality, I have a hump, a lisp and a raging case of body odor. I'm scared to meet anyone. I rarely go outside.

    Only through cross-pollination. Glad the lisp doesn't come through via cell phone.

    Absolutely SWPH cross-pollination. I'll even provide the nose plug and shave my hump.

    Just the ones I was friends with before joining MFP, but I'm not opposed if anyone wants to meet up for a salad or coffee:)

    Actually my husband (stevLL) and I are both friends with the same wonderful/supportive man. "Tim" was going to be passing through our neck of the woods, so he sent us a PM asking if he could meet us for a cup of coffee or tea etc. We jumped at the chance as he just so happens to be one of our oldest (longest) and most supportive friends on MFP. We all met, and it was like we had know each other forever. Tim is exactly the way we pictured and knew he would be. What a lovely person. It was a joy to spend time with him. The time we spent together passed too quickly. We both would love to see him again and meet his lovely wife. You can make good friends in real life on MFP. There are a few more friends on MFP that stevLL and I both have in common that we would love to meet in person as well. Hopefully we will get the chance! :happy:

    I could never have asked for better and more supportive friends than Hoots or her husband stevLL. It was my pleasure and honor to finally meet them in person and just wish the visit could have been longer. We just need to meet a few other long time MFP friends and the circle will be complete. They know who they are.
