Yes, I must say I've made some wonderful friends here. I'm a very lucky woman - my life is so much richer for knowing my FG friends.

It's the greatest feeling :-4:-4

I've found some wonderful people to chat to on ForumGarden, as I have on other Forums.... There really are some dear sweet people here....

I think I had a special connection with Carolly, don't ask me why, she's a pain in the bum and never lets me get a word in edgeways!... But, I dunno...... just something there if you know what I mean, I can't really explain it... just some people you instantly bond with....

Funny isn't it..... I find it difficult to make 'friends' in the real sense of the word as in trusting and sharing and giving.... but that minx kinda grabbed me!..... I think she might be a witch who's cast a spell on me!!!!! :-2.... *searches for the matches*

I'm trying to count how many FG people have managed to meet each other, it's quite a few when you add them up. The most we got to one place at the same time was fifteen, that was quite a day. Oddly enough it was a pub.

I am sure it is a Party. BUT if you have never done a Mardi Gras in La. Not just N.O. But I go where it is more family oriented. The smaller towns. But it is still wild. Worth doing at least once. People watching is the best part:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Most of the folks that I really like on here, have no idea. I don't chat, PM or go off into email land... I generally just read them and follow them around.:sneaky:

You are all equally nice and inviting, in the world that is my head..:p

I got to meet one of us this year, I liked her better then I did myself..

I got to meet a group of us a while ago, it was the best of times, out of the worst of times - but it was the best of me, I think...

someday I'd like to meet some of the folks I have been imagining in my head.

i'd most likely walk right past you, however. In real life, I am the shyest person I know when not talking work..

Same here in Philly. Bonkers by noon and obnoxious by 2pm. When we went to the Phillies parade a couple of weeks ago, their were people already wasted by 10am and they were drinking on the trains. We left after seeing the team go by as we had our little guy with us.

I have met many friends here at FG. My "special" friend is Slipstream (David). He is the most courageous and insipring person I could ever have the pleasure to meet. No matter what he's facing, he does it without complaining and can always bring a smile to my face. I just :-4 him and so happy I found him here.
