What forum member whould you want to meet in person?

ORIGINAL: griffinej5

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.

LoL, I always thought it would be neat for some of you to actually meet Tyson. He is such a goof! It would be interesting to see the dogs in person.

this list is in no particular order:
 
jaime- i'd like to pick her brain about breeding stock and health issues, as well as what she feeds.
 
all the apbt and staffie people: chewbecca, alieliza in particular, and anyone else who's got a bully.  too bad they really can't all play together[]
 
shelly (jjsmom06)... i'm sure we could paint the town red.
 
sera_j.... well, maybe we could do some baywatch "run on the beach" type crap, except i'm worried we'd end up in a g.g.w. video...
 
all the red sox fans... we should go to a GAME!
 
probe1957- just to see if he's as *hot* as they say...[]
 
gina--- between mommy, moderator, and breeder duties, i think you could use a drink!
 
for some reason, even though we really don't talk that much, i'm drawn to xerxes.. i think i feel connected to the pharoah hounds. 
 
ron2- we could visit the *seedier* parts of DFW and maybe you could figure out what's wrong with my kitchen light switch, since my landlord doesn't seem to care.
 
all the people who foster.  i'd love to share some stories and try to network a little.
 
there's a lot more... i'm just blanking out right now because i'm at work and distracted.
 
 

MOST want to meet - means there are others, but I have to limit my choices.

I suspect Kate and Amy and Lani and Amanda would be a good GGW crew, but still tame enough to not be ashamed the next day.  At least I hope so, cuz I couldn't hang with them if they were true GGW.

Cathy (cakana) because I suspect she's the wisest person I'll ever meet.
julitza is a good one, too - I'd want to give her a big hug and offer to bake her a cake or something.  She deserves kudos for all she invests of herself into her family.
olinda - I'd like to hear more about her Romeo and what happened to Roamer.

Plenty of others, but those come to mind immediately.

I just wanna meet everbuddy -- I wanna meet everbuddy I've emailed and pm'd and all those I've talked to on the phone and all those I haven't (to say why not?) -- I'm afraid if Glenda and Anne and Jeano and I get together it would be scarey, cos we'd all just get along way to well and it would be like we'd pick up talking about whatever we said in the last email.
 
And I wanna meet all the guys (to prove to David this isn't just a chick place LOL).  There's some of you who live really close and we just OUGHTA get together.  And Jennie you GOTTA come dow for the UF Symposium and if I start namin names I'll forget someone.
 
I actually have met several net friends from my other board and it's funny ... so often you just plain keep on talking about whatever you were talking about last.  Then after a few minutes you both start to laugh and say "shoot, we haven't taken a breath yet and we JUST 'met' for real but it feels like I've known you forever!"
 
THAT is truly a fun thing. 

Sera_J, because she shares my brain, holds my hand and because I just flat out love her.

Shelly (jjsmom06), because I think we'd have such a great laugh together and not stop talking for hours.

Ed (Xerxes), because he cracks me up and I am determined to meet Xerxes and Gaia.

Paige (Miranadobe), because she's so sweet and she understands the power of the egg-cup sentinels.

Jean (Jeano), because she's going to show me around Alaska.

Becca (brookcove), because she's been so helpful and I want to meet her Maremmas.

Billy (probe1957), because I love his sense of humour.

Amanda (bevolasvegas), because she is such a strong, classy woman, and I really admire her.

I could have a wicked night out with BadRap, an amazing shopping day with Christine (labcrab) and a really good laugh with Meilani.

If I forgot anyone, I am sorry....I'd love to meet lots of you, and am touched by the people who have said they would like to meet me too. You are all very special to me.

Kate

I love new friends, especially dog crazy ones, so everyone!

As I am reading these I can't help, but think of Oscar nominations - I want to say thanks to .... for giving me hope..., .... for making my days brighter.

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.

 
Wow, I'm not sure whether I should be flattered of offended.
Ok, first I have to say that there are 3 things that I truly fear.
1. Snakes
2. Lizards
3. Going to prison.
So trust me you#%92ll never ever see me there.
 
Now back on topic.
I would like to meet lots of people, but here are a few that come to mind.
 
Paige (miranadobe) because she#%92s just too sweet. I#%92m sure I can corrupt her if given half the chance. I#%92m pretty sure that I could get her on GGW.
 
Sera_J because I#%92m sure that we would have a great time together. I can imagine that we would have way to much fun & get into to much trouble.
 
Shelly (jjsmom06) , because she seems to be a very genuine person.
 
Glenda (glenmar) , because she gives great advice. I#%92m always in need of sound advice.
 
Badrap, because I#%92m sure I could get her hyped up & while she wasn#%92t paying attention I could swipe Tek & head for the border.
 
Jennie (jennie_c_d) , because she#%92s younger than me & obviously wiser than me. I could learn a thing or two.
 
Kate (benedict) because she is hilarious. I think we could have a really funny conversation.
 
Gina (rwbeagles) We could go out for a drink. She seems to have a good grasp of things.
 
I would really love training advice from Mic, mrv, & Anne (Spiritdogs). Health advice from Callie (calliecritturs) would be great. There are so many more that I haven#%92t listed.

Like I said in chat the other night...we need a BIG OLD PARTY right in the middle of the USA for everyone to go to...who lives in the middle and can volunteer their home lmao...I promise we won't break too many things []

Wow, I'm not sure whether I should be flattered or offended.

Well, you know what they say... a good friend is the one who bails you out of jail. A GREAT friend is the one who's sitting in the cell next to you saying, "Man, that was *awesome.*" [] (In other words, it was meant as a compliment.)

There's way too many...
 
but I would really like to meet Tracy (tacran),
so we can compare pictures of our boys.....

Wow! I want to meet everyone []

I've had the pleasure of meeting several Idoggers in person. Jaime, Annie (GradyUpMyButt), Jen (JensW) and Terri (Sidney and Nigels mom I would loooove to see them in person and hang out again. In fact, I insist upon it!

Who would I LIKE to meet? Oh, goodness, I hope I don't forget anyone!

KATE (Benedict) -- she's got half my brain afterall!! I know it'll be just like meeting a long-lost sister... it's like that now, afterall and we can't even figure out the webcam situation. I love this lady []

Sara (Badrap) -- she's just too much fun! She says exactly what you're too afraid to say.. we'd chat for hours about really out-of-the-norm type stuff. I love straight-forward people! (And as for the GGW -- I DEMAND BEADS... I'm not cheap afterall.)

Amanda (BevoLasVegas) -- strong lady with a wicked sense of humor. I know she's the life of the party... we'd have a blast! You can sing... I'll dance [:-]

Paige (Miranadobe) -- So very sweet and just a nice, good person with a great sense of humor! I want to be there when Amanda corrupts her. (Which apparently will not be including jail time.)

Shelly (JJsmom) -- I can ALWAYS spend hours talking about photography, but I bet it wouldn't be limited to that by any stretch of the imagination. This girl.. I bet we'd laugh for hours! I'd probably try to steel JJ... though. Just a heads up, there Shel!

Janice (Janobanano) -- Do I even need to explain this? She's got such a wonderful sense of humor! ... and plus, I'd have to try to steal Rup! []

MK (DaneHaven) and DH -- I've always enjoyed our chats, via email or on the phone. She's such a down to earth, LOVELY lady. Plus, I'd have to meet the Dane's and Jet and Tonto! The entire DaneHaven crew!!

Shirley (AppyLady) -- What a knowledgeable, nice person. I'd love to meet her!

Darla (I can't think of her login!) -- I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT RIDE! ... don't think I forgot about that. YOU promised []

Billy (Probe... do I NEED to include his login?) -- wicked, wicked sense of humor that I enjoy so very much. I bet he's either extremely witty in person.. or has a 2 minute delay. God Bless the internet [8D]

Jean -- You'll definitely have to show me around Alaska!! I'd just adore that!

Chelsea -- Sweet and mean. Quite the diachotomy that young lady! SPRITE IS ON ME []

Ed -- funny guy with B-E-A-U-tiful dogs... i want to pet them all []

I just know I'm forgetting like a hundred people!

I second Gina's notion -- BIG PARTY! Let's do it! ... or you can all come to Hawaii. Whichever []

I know! hahaha, mine were damn cheesy!

I would really love to meet Janice, Emily and Annie.  I feel like we're old friends.  Plus - I think the combination of Rupert, Scout, Grady and Slick would be PERFECT for an awesome playdate!   And not only would I like to meet Kate, I PLAN to meet her the next time she's in NYC!  I only wish she could bring Ben because I know that he Slick would be fast friends.  And Shel, you must come back soon.  I would seriously consider your "house swap" idea, except that would mean we don't get to see each other!!! 
 
 

Cathy (cakana) because I suspect she's the wisest person I'll ever meet.

[sm=blush.gif] - Thank you Paige, that was the nicest compliment I could imagine (and hopefully that's a blushing smiley face).  I couldn't possibly list all the people I'd like to meet and risk leaving someone special out.  There are some really amazing people on this forum, and I think huge gathering would be a great idea.  Maybe we could have breakout sessions on health, training, nutrition, grooming, etc.  I'm good at event planning, so just let me know when and where, and I'll set it all up []
