What forum member whould you want to meet in person?

OK, I need more coffee.  I THOT the topic was which forum member would I like to meet in PRISON!! [8D]
 
I can't say just one.  There are many who I consider friends even tho we've never met, many who I feel like I owe them a hug, even tho I sent cyberhugs when they were going through a rough time, many that I'd like to hug BACK for the hugs, warm thots, good vibes and prayers they have sent MY way over the past year.  For purely selfish reasons, I'd love to meet Anne and Callie so I could more competely pick BOTH of their brains! 

Following Glenmar's idea, I would totally want to meet Bevolasvegas in PRISON. Mainly because I'm sure she'd have a really amazing story as to how she got there! []

In person, heck, you all seem pretty cool.

Right now I would like to meet Mic Foster and Gunney.  I am interested in protection training, methods,  etc.  I think a reunion some day would be pretty darn cool..... Just in case,   I will be at the Harrisburg cluster the week after Easter.  12-18 puppy bitch class, Malinois.  and with a terv or two as well

Callie Critters to pick her brain and Lori and Willow for inspiration. And lots of others too just because.

Off the top of my head, I would definitely want to meet Chewbecca and Ella and talk pibbles as well as with BadRap and Tek and Rose, I'd also like to meet Annie and Grady... Ill chime in with more as they come to mind...

I'd like a girl's night out with Gina and Shelly!

  This might be a long list since there are a lot of nice people here and very specific things I would like to do with some of them…

  First off I would love to meet Ed, Xerxes, and Gaia. I would love to give Ed a big hug and kiss (assuming his wife Stella didn#%92t mind[]) and thank him for being one of the best friends I have ever had. Then I would want to watch those beautiful pooches of his run and play and talk about our mutual admiration for sight hounds and their tremendous grace, beauty and silliness.  Then I would want to share our love of cooking together by cooking up a fantastic meal and letting Stella have a bit of a rest from kitchen duty.

  I would love to meet Kenny (Roxie865) and give him a big hug and kiss too and to thank him for helping me through so much and for his incredible friendship.  Then I would like to spend the day doing nothing but chatting with one another and laughing in hysterics until we can#%92t breathe.

  I would love to meet in person Kate, Sera J and Billy and see their beautiful photography and learn from them first hand. I admire and respect their work and wonderful talent. If I was visiting Sera or Billy at their homes, I would request a day riding their horses too…[]

  I would love to have a day in NYC shopping and in Central Park with Christine and Slick.

  I think Badrap would be serious fun to just hang with for the day.

  A “spa and shopping” day with Sylvia and Amanda.

  A foreign film with Annie for sure!

  I am sure there are plenty of others but I haven#%92t had my coffee yet!

Wow, I just got an incredible compliment.  Thanks Shelly!  I am humbled.

Who would I want to meet in person?  I really can't think of anyone I wouldn't want to meet in person.  But here goes my list:

jjsmom-Shelly has been a source of great cooking tips, inspiration, a shoulder to lean on and in general a great friend-although since she knows the real story behind pharaoh hounds she's convinced she doesn't need one in her life. []

Roxie865:  I think his adoration of his companion animals (Roxie and Trixie) is so completely sweet.

Glenda: So many times I've read her posts and been awed by how strong a woman she is-she's an inspiration to me that when times are tough-Glenda kicks some serious butt (as long as no snakes are present.)

Anne (Spiritdogs) has helped me out behind the scenes and given me alot of reference material and also helped change the way I think about the dog-human relationship.

espencer: Because on the forum we disagree about 100% of the time, yet I bet in real life we are more alike than different.

Benedict (Kate) Because she's probably got a really cool accent!  But above and beyond that because she is very sweet.

The list is so very long: Julitza, because I admire her strength and perserverance-how she does it without going batty I'll never know.  Lori and Willow-because Lori has a heart of gold and she has worked great wonders with Willow.  MRV, mudpuppy; Callie and more are inspirations to me as well as sources of great knowledge and experience.  I'd also like to meet inne, to show her that Americans can be gracious and I'd love to hear her stories of the world.  I know I've forgotten a bunch of people here-but all of you are wonderful, even those that I disagree with from time to time.

There are too many to post! I've talked to some of my long distance girlfriends on the phone and we've chatted online. [] If you aren't on this list DON'T feel bad....I'm not awake yet and my brain isn't functioning.....

Annie and I need to eat BAD foods together! And basically go nuts and get silly. Maybe we could dress Grady up in a tutu, bwahahahaha.

Callie and I need to talk about dogs, homeopathy, health, SCOTLAND and lots and lots of other stuff.

I'd love to go powwow with Ann Spiritdogs and see her dogs work sheep!

Xebby, I'm going to meet you this summer, right? []

Lisa Marie! I've never seen the Twin Cities and sure would like to. And we both know we can yak for hours. hehe

Heck, I'm driving from Alaska to New Mexico this summer....how many of you CAN I meet? PM me NOW with your locations so I can plan my itinerary! NO kidding! Anyone WEST of ABQ.....

Ed, I want to meet your DOGS, LOL. I have never met a pharaoh hound. []

God, there's so many to name but it would be fun if I could meet everyone from I-Dog. Everyone seems like good people. If I had to name those, I guess it would be those I've "known" for a while and that would include Debbi(Saluki Mom), Cait(Pwca), Brenda and Bunni(who used to be members here), Gina, Anne, Glenda, Billy(because I'm sure he's a scream in real life as he is here) and a few others whose names escape me because my brain has turned to caca. []

I would love to meet almost ALL here.
But some of the tops of my lists are:

Alieliza- I, too, want to talk about bullies and their smiles, strength and dedication to their humans
bad rap- again, for the same reason
Actually, I LOVE meeting pit bull people. I only know one pit bull person and that is my vet. I feel weird talking to her and I get shy. I am a shy person until I get to know people. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. hahaha

Sooner-She has been a REAL help and I just love love love Boomer

Glenda- she's strong and HILARIOUS.

Shelly-one of the most generous people EVER. A REAL kind spirit and loving person

Ratsicles-she's just a...one of a kind. I don't talk to her, but I can tell. She has awesome dogs. And her letter in the "Dear" thread really got to me and made me realize that she is an awesome person.

Xerxes-Ed-I love your dogs. You scared me when I first started posting here because I think I misunderstood you and thought you might be slightly stuck up, but I no longer think that way. And I admire any guy who can love his dogs as much as you do and be as dedicated to his dogs as much as you are.

JM and Chuffy- sweet ladies, I want to meet you guys and your dogs and talk training all day.

Lori-She is a determined person and Willow is showing the results of that determination. I think she'd be a great person to hang out with.

I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting...

I'd like to get all the pap people together, I think we'd have fun. 

I've got a list for later.  But, I did want to mention that the chow board actually has regional meetings once per year.  The people from the east do it then on a different day the members from the west, etc. They plan it well in advance so everyone can make their plans.  Then they post pictures for all the other members to see.  It's so much fun to see all the dogs that you've been seeing individually playing together in the pictures.  A woman from England actually came over for it.

Just an idea. . .

I wanna meet mrv. I don't know what i'd discuss. I also want to meet Alieliza, or rather, I want to meet Tyson, but I suppose we could talk about how much we love our macbooks, and what accessories we want to buy for them.
