April/May Get together

November 1, 2004

Would it help if each of us who might be interested in getting together in April or May reply to this post with the name of town and state that they live in and whether or not they would be interested? BarbaraGinny Barrientos wrote:

Janet M,

I am not in NJ..I liv in MA. We were thinking of having the get together in NJ because it was close to Dawn, Pam, Jo and others in NJ and NY and not too far for Donna, barbara, Tricia and me to drive from MA together. It is still in it's early planning stages...so will keep everyone informed. Joann would be flying in from arkansas...and others might fly in too so we wanted it near a big airport for direct flights...and to cut down on flight expenses. During Nov i am hoping to talk to Joann, Dawn, Barbara, Jo and Donna to get some ideas and get some things settled such as dates..the place...and other things to get this moving. Jo I think you are the only one I don't have a # for...so if you would like to send it privately..I would appreciate it. I would like to do some 3 way calling...since I have free ld and 3 way...Hugs..Ginnynannyshere wrote:

Hi Group! I finaly got to the end of the past few days posts. Danette: Happy Birthday! Pam: OMG.. I am originally from Oswego! My family still live there. Is that where your X lives? Mine does too. Wouldn't it be weird if he was my x too? LOL Or we may even be related. I do have 69 neices and nephew there plus many great that I haven't even met. What is your X's name? I have a neice that works for the County and child support devision. I live in Levittown, PA now for the past 34 years. Left Oswego when I was 25. I try to get up there at least once a year. But ride is about 5 hours from here and getting toooo long. I was just up there in July for my neice's wedding at Sandy Pond. My sisters and neices come down here often to visit. They love the Lenox factory here! LOL I feel bad for all you are going through. I know RSD ! is

enough for us to handle without other problems! Just stay strong and fight it. My prayers are with you. Barb: I may beat you for the longest post this time! tee hee. You are a very strong and compassionate person. You inspire me greatly. God Bless you. JoAnn: The same is true of you. You show so much caring and love in this group dispite all your suffering and pain. I have that horrible heal burning pain as you do and you may have read in my post that my only solution to mine is lying on my stomach with feet hanging over the end of the bed while I try to fall asleep. Prayers for you and . Ginny: where in NJ do you live? I am interested in the meeting in April or May also. I am close to the shore and most places in the tri-states. A group I belong to, Parents that have lost Children, have had Reunions. One year they came to my house and one year we met in Atlantic City and stayed a few days. One year we met in Fla. Three !

Mom stayed with me a week and another 2 weeks. the Moms were from all over the USA. It was awesome! Please include me in the Reunion. God Bless you. Dawn: I hope you are beginning to feel better. My prayers to you and your family. You have been through so much. I know the Cure is coming soon. We must stay strong. Tonia, Lin, Lyn, Jo, Tonya, Jan, Cliff, Janet, Jai, Donna, ......... Oh My, All of you wonderful fellow RSDer's. God Bless you all and thank you all for being here for so many of us! We all need this Family here as most in our lives don't understand us. Prayers to all and Pray for the CURE. Love and Hugs, Nannyshere, aka, Janet M

Barbara, I, too, would certainly like to join you all but I just

don't see how I would be able to go since I also live in Oregon.

I'll look forward to reading about the plans and the eventual get

together and imagine myself there with you all.

Lyn and , this is JoAnn and was wondering if next year met in Iowa do

you think you could come that far? I have family in Cedar Rapids and one of

my best friends so like going to Iowa anyway. I have been thinking of going

to Iowa so those in MN. and those in Illinois, LA. and of course Tonia and

others in Iowa. Anyway just idea to start thinking of meeting in Iowa in

spring of 2006, and if chose to do this then would like to know if you two

could come and also this might give you time to save up for trip.

Well take care you two. Hope at some time you both are able to meet each

other. Know I would so like to just get to Janie's house, but even that is

to far for me to drive. Well , that is all, take care.

Hi JoAnn,

At this moment it sounds like around the world but I won't rule it

out at all. I'm always being surprised where life takes me. Thank

you for wanting to include us. You are so kind. It is good to feel

the universal love of another human especially when one isn't

feeling very lovable these days.

With love and caring, Lyn

JoAnn,

That sounds like a good plan, then one of these years you guys will have to come out to the beautiful NW right Lyn, We could meet around where Lyn lives or go to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. That could be in 2007.

Aren't we silly we haven't even done the first trip LOL. I may still come but it doesn't seem to promising not until we get this stupid SSDI out of the way and my money that I want to draw out from my retirement. So a lot of variables to deal with right now.

Take care,

love ya,

Lin

Hmmm...here's a better plan. Come to Southern California. The

weather is nice here. Beaches are beautiful. Disneyland is here.

And for the best part...I can give everyone MOTORCYCLE RIDES!!! How

about that for a fun-filled event!!!

Peace, love and pain relief!!!

Cliff

Beaches are beautiful. Disneyland is here.

Cliff,

I don't care about Disneyland. It = a crowd. The beach seems much more to my liking! Of course it sounds like they have those in the more northern area too.

Cliff,

I think you mean Lin, Lyn lives near Bend, a fair distance from the ocean, however I am about 60 miles to the beach.

But I totally agree with you that way we can see all of the USA!

YES! I'm going for that! meet in the Northwest! I like your style,

Lin. I found a map today of the US and I was thinking of putting it

on the wall with everyone posted in their home states. I'm rather

visual so I thought this would add to the experience of our

communications. I'll be watching this thread to learn where you all

live, Have a good evening.

Actually, I intended to invite everyone in the group who's thinking

about getting together!!! We can all squeeze into my house, take

turns walking the dogs, sing around the campfire and play practical

jokes on my neighbors...it'll be great!

Peace, love and pain relief!!!

Hi cliff My name is Lyn,

Motorcycles!!!! YEA! Jumping up and down in my mind's eye! Count me

in! I live to ride! That has been my fun for the last three years

of the four that I have been in remission. My bike calls out to me

every day. Ride me! Ride me! Maybe by then I can ride my Volusia

there and back! Oh please tell me about your bike and where you

ride? Lyn in Oregon---

I AM GLAD YOU HOPE TO COME DONNA, AND CERTAINLY HAVE TAKEN NOTICE BUT IF

REST OF YOU WOULD WAIT TO SEND US YOUR NAME AND HOW PLAN TO ARRIVE UNTIL A

WEEK THAT GINNY AND I WORK OUT, WOULD APPRECIATE IT ALOT. AND THIS FIRST

LIST FOR ALL WHO MAY NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF ABLE TO COME BUT WANT TO TRY,

THIS FIRST LIST IS A LIST OF HOPE TO COME.

THEN AS SENT AN EMAIL JUST FEW MINUTES AGO, SOMETIME IN MARCH, MOST

LIKELY MARCH, WILL BE ASKING FOR ALL THAT WILL BE THERE AND FOR A DOLLAR

AMOUNT TO HOLD YOUR ROOMS. THIS WAY GIVES EACH PERSON FROM NOW UNTIL MOST

LIKELY MARCH, TO SEE HOW FINANCES ARE AND IF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COME FOR

SURE. PLEASE, KNOW MOST WOULD LIKE TO COME, BUT PLEASE, DO NOT LET THIS

HURT ANYONE MONETARILY. JUST WOULD BE SO SAD FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. HOPE YOU

ALL UNDERSTAND NOT WANTING TO HURT ANYONE'S FEELINGS BUT JUST EACH OF US

HAVE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT KEEP US FROM PERHAPS DOING THIS, AND NOT ALL OR

THE COST. JUST CONCERNED FOR ANYONE FEELING BADLY, BREAKS MY HEART IF THAT

HAPPENS. ANYWAY, DONNA GLAD YOU PLAN ON BEING THERE AND LET GINNY AND I

TALK AND TRY AND SET A SPECIFIC DATE FOR FIRST NOTICES, SECOND ONES WHICH

WILL BE THE FOR SURE ONES, AND DATE TO MEET.

MANY GENTLE HUGS ALL.
