Hey Tammi!
Ok, let's do! I'll PM Susan in case she doesn't see this post - I have a very flexible schedule...no schedule at all right now, actually. So, whatever would work best for you guys will be fine with me. We'll see if we can get some other N. GA folks as well.
I'm doing quite well, thanks! How about you? Know you are very glad to be driving again! (I still haven't been out on any interestates yet :-\)
Talk with you soon,
Cindy

CINDY,
HEY, ALL IS WELL HERE! ;) I AM GLAD YOU ARE DOING GOOD! I AM READY WHEN YA'LL ARE , JUST LET ME KNOW! YES, COME ONE COME ALL!! ;D
ACTUALLY, THE INTERSTATE WAS BETTER FOR ME THAN ANYTHING! BUT I WAS SCEPTICAL AT FIRST!
LET ME KNOW DEAR!~
TAMMI ;)

Yes, if I can just remember to CHARGE my camera, I'll get pictures! Can't tell you the number of times we've been getting ready to leave the house for an event (like one of my son's martial arts tournaments) and I didn't have the camera charged! Of course, no one else thought about it either, but it's Mom's fault ::)

I live in central Georiga and would love to meet with the group from Georgia. I went to the only GA ANA support meeting held since I was diagnosed. It was held in Atlanta in fall 2006. I met a lady from Cumming there that I have kept in touch with. I'm sure she would like to meet ya'll also. When the meeting is definite, please let us all know.
Grace

HI GRACE! ;)
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AS WELL! CINDY AND SUSAN, WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST PART OF FEB. ?? DOES THAT WORK FOR US?? I AM OPEN...
TAMMI
-
Hey, Grace! Great - would love to meet you! I live up in Cumming - any chance the girl you met from here is Julie?
Faith, early Feb works fine for me. How about you, Grace? I PM'd Susan to see what might work for her and to see if she had any meeting place suggestions. Any thoughts? We are definitely spread out - makes no difference to me where we meet! Just look forward to meeting...and eating maybe!
Maybe we should go ahead and start a new thread for this over in the Community section...I'll go do that... ;D
Cindy
-
Hey, Cindy!!
I live in Sandersville, which is halfway between Macon & Augusta. Anytime and anywhere will be fine for me - I am flexible. I really look forward to meeting everyone.
The lady I met from Cumming is Connie. She is so nice.

Hi All,
We are trying to get a Greater Atlanta/Georgia AN group together! We're shooting for Sat, Feb 7th, lunchish time - a Saturday gives us at least some hope of avoiding a huge traffic mess. Don't have a place picked out yet, but we're working on it...
In the meantime, if you'd like to join us and/or know anyone else who might like to join us, please chime in! Can't wait to meet you all!
Cindy
-
Wow. What a great group of people! That sounds like great fun. In case you're looking for more members, there was a guy from Woodstock who had just discovered he had an AN. His SN is Joeyg.
Y'all have fun.
David

well, I've tried to merge and purge the topic from 'Post Treatment" forum and the thread in AN Community started by our own cindyj. Cindy, I think your original post got shoved down to the bottom, but I wanted to make sure it was all combined... so you can have a great get-together.
BTW, do I have to fly in for this one? :) cindy, Brucifer? :)
xo

HEY CINDY,
FEB. 7TH SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! ;) JUST A SUGGESTION.... HOW ABOUT Pappadeaux' s Seafood IN ATLANTA?
I LOVE THAT PLACE! IF NOT THATS OK I'LL STAY IN ATLANTA FOR DINNER!! ;D
TAMMI
-
Seafood sounds great to me. I'm glad we're meeting for lunch.
Grace
-
Obviously, I won't be there and you can go wherever you want, but Pappadeaux's is REALLY loud, isn't it? We thought about that for the Houston get together and ruled it out b/c of the noise - which was REALLY hard b/c I LOVE their food and we don't have one here! If you DO go there you'll have to let me know how it works out - we could go there next time in Houston! ;D
K

Cindy,
I just logged in and see you and a few seem to starting a meeting group in the Atlanta area.
As I live just west of Atlanta in Dallas I'd like to come along if I may and can we bring along our partners/wives.
Saturday 7th February sounds good to me. I'm not a great fan of fish but do have some now and again.
I do think this is a brilliant idea.
Kit W
-
Pappadeaux' s Seafood IN ATLANTA? I understand there are three in the Atlanta area so which one is the lunch going to take place.
Alpharetta, Norcross and Marietta are the locations. Unless someone knows differently of course. ;D
Kit W
-
HEY KIT,
LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND YOUR WIFE! ;)
YES THATS TRUE THERE IS A FEW OF THEM.... I KNOW WHERE THE ONE IN MARIETTA IS..BUT JUST LET ME KNOW! SO WHATS IT GONNA BE LADIES???? ;D
TAMMI
-
From what I remember, there's a Pappadeaux on Windy Hill that would be easy to get to from 75. Also I seem to remember they have outside seating (covered in the winter) that may not be so loud. I love the food there! Nothing remotely like that here in LA.
David
-
HEY DAVID! ;)
YES THAT IS THE ONE IN MARIETTA ... COME ON DOWN AND JOIN US IF YOU LIKE! ;D
WELL WE HAVE TO SETTLE ON A DATE AND TIME STILL!
WAITING,
TAMMI ;)
-
Ok, Pappadeaux's in Marietta on Sat, Feb 7th! How's that? Let's say 12:30 - hopefully, that will give you out of towners plenty of time to get there, but not get back home too late either. When we get closer to the date, I'll try to get a final head count and make a reservation for us. Hopefully, it won' be too loud. I've only been to a Pappadeaux's once and don't remember it being really loud, but that was pre-SSD days...
Can't wait to meet everyone! Hope to meet the spouses/significant others as well! Someone please remind us about cameras.
Phyl, thanks for doing your thread magic! Aren't you due for a family visit down here? Would be great! We'll even change the meeting place to The Awful House just for you - love those hashbrowns!
See you soon!
Cindy
-
YEAHHHHHHHHH I AM SO EXCITED, AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!!!!!!!!! ;D
HA HA HA ! LOOKING FORWARD TO IT !!
TAMMI

Hey Cindy!
I'm just dropping in on your GA thread to say hi and how exciting it is that you're planning a GA get together! Sounds like there are quite a few ANers in your area. Take lots of pics and have a great time!
Glad to see you're doing well!
Nancy
-
Hey Nancy! Thanks for dropping in - hope you're doing well. Yes, we'll try to take some pictures...surely one of us will remember to bring a camera!
Donnalynn, you just push those dogs and get down here! May be more mud and red clay than snow, but what nice warm weather you'd have when you got here...blazing hot compared to yours...
You know, parts of South Carolina, Tennessee and Alablama are very close to Atlanta, any of you from there want to come?
Cindy
-
Cindy,
Count me in. It sounds fun. I haven't been there but I love seafood.
Tammi,
You crack me up! You sound so enthusiastic. I can't wait to meet ya'll.
Susan

Hi Cindi
I am going to be spending more time in Atlanta, [ about every 2 months ] now that I have a grand baby due. Hopefully next time you meet I will be able to drop in and bring some LA weather with me. I am going to be there this weekend, on my way to DC. Its freezing. Anyway I think its great that you are all meeting up, have fun.
Lainie
-
Hey y'all
I'll be with you in spirit on the 7th. Have fun!
Dvaid
-
Lainie and David, think the LA meet-up is the one I'd really like to be at because of your great weather! It is SO cold here right now...Lainie, what part of Atlanta? Hopefully, we can have another lunch or dinner one of the times you're here.
Cheri, I will definitely not forget dessert! May forget the camera, but I won't miss out on any chocolate opportunity!
Here's the list so far:
Grace and guest
Tammi and ??
Connie and husband (AN friend of Grace's - don't think she's ever on the forum?)
Kit and Kay
Carol and husband
Susan
Cindy and Brad
Maybe, maybe, Lori...hopefully! Any one else?
Will be in touch again before the 7th!
Cindy
-
Cindy,
My best friend won't be able to come after all due to a family birthday. I may bring my future sister-in-law. Please let me know the date you have to have a head-count for reservations. I will definitely be there. I can't wait to see all of you.
Grace
-
A reminder about our lunch next Saturday (can you believe Feb is here) at 12:30! Looks like we'll have a great group. Think I sent my phone # to everyone, but if I missed anyone, let me know. Can't wait to meet y'all and to have some great food - thanks for the Pappadeaux's suggestion, Tammi. Would love to have anyone else that can make it! Let me know! I'll be making the reservations by Sun or Mon.
Just fyi, I stopped by the ANA office the other day and briefly discussed getting a support group going again for this area. Let's be sure to talk about that next week. Apparently, there used to be a pretty active group here, but it fizzled out - Grace, I think you mentoned you had been to some meetings, right?
Anyway - see you all very soon!
Cindy
-
I went to 1 meeting - in Aug 2006. Connie was there. I believe she had been to previous meetings. I am not aware that another meeting was held after the one I went to. It would be great to get it started again. Can't wait to see everyone.
Grace
-
Hi Cindy,
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the lunch.
Don't forget the camera ::) ;D
Kit W
-
Bummed I can't be there for this... hoping my next trip to ATL to see the family, I can meet up with you all! Take piccies and have a fab time! Phyl
-
Well, I'll have to be with you in spirit also! :'(
Too much to do to make a long roadtrip right now. We just put the house on the market last week and have some last minute sprucing up to do. Unless you want to move the lunch to Nashville, then I'll make you all some sandwiches and we can do the sprucing up together! Sounds like fun!!
I'm hoping to make it to Atlanta before we head back to Virginia, so hopefully I'll be able to catch some of you next time.
Have a great time and don't forget the pictures!
Lori
-
You'll be missed, Phyl and Lori! We'll see you on your next visit to your family, Phyl. Lori, do let us know if you make it over here before your move - we'll be sure to have a get together whenever that might be.
See the rest of you next Saturday...Pappadeaux's in Marietta on Windy Hill. I'll be putting yellow sticky notes all over the house to remind me to bring my camera. Still a very good chance that I'll forget it. But surely someone in the group will remember, right!?!?
Have a good week!
Cindy
-
HEY EVERYONE,
MY DAUGHTER IS COMING WITH ME, SO SHE WILL HAVE HER CAMERA....
I AM SO EXCITED!!!! ;D LORI, I WANT TO COME SEE YOU TOO! ARE YOU MOVING TO VIRGINIA??
TAMMI
-
Hey, Tammi! Glad your daughter will be coming with you...and bringing her camera!
I made the reservations the other day - they actually gave me a confirmation number - very official!
See you all Saturday - looks like it will be much warmer by then. Let's hope so!
Cindy
-
CINDY,
WOW, THEY REALLY MEANT BUSINESS.... A CONFIRMATION NUMBER??? ARE WE SPECIAL OR WHAT!!!! ;D YES WE ARE! ;)
I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING THIS AN JOURNEY FOR 14 MONTHS AND HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE ( IN PERSON) THAT HAS " BEEN THERE" THIS IS A DIVINE APPOINTMENT THAT WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING UNLESS WE MET THE (AN) FIRST! I COUNT IT AN HONOR TO FINALLY MEET ALL OF YOU! I AM SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!! ;)
TAMMI
-
Wow, you guys are going to be fancy-schmancy! :D Don't forget to keep those pinkies up while sipping your beverage!
Tammi - it's back to Virginia Beach for me - hopefully as soon as my daughter finishes Kindergarten in May. Of course, I have to get someone to buy my house first, otherwise my husband will be in Virginia Beach and I'll be here in Nashville with the kids.
Anyone want to buy a nice house in Nashville?
Lori
-
LORI,
ARE YOU FROM VA. ? MY DAUGHTER WILL BE LEAVING FOR COLLEGE IN AUG. NOT SURE WHERE SHE IS GOING YET, BUT RICHMOND IS AN OPTION! ;) I WOULD LOVE TO MOVE TO NASHVILLE! NOT SURE I COULD AFFORD IT THOUGH!
I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU BEFORE YOU MOVE. MAYBE IN APRIL ??
TAMMI
-
HEY SUSAN,
YOU GONNA BE THERE??? I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU LATELY???
TAMMI ;)
-
Tammi -
Nope, I'm actually a Jersey Girl. Born and raised in North Jersey, then moved to Upstate NY (brrrrrrr!), then to Virginia Beach and now Nashville. Marry a sailor - see the world. :D
Richmond is only an hour from where we'll be in Virginia, so if your daughter does go there, we can get together when you're visiting her!
Lori
-
LORI,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT! ;) IT IS FREEZING HERE.... I AM SURE IT IS IN NASHVILE! ;) I'M ALL BUNDLED UP AND CAN BARELY TYPE! ;)
TAMMI
-
YEs, I will be there. I'll be the one with the crooked smile. :-\ Oh wait. That may be all of us. At least we will be able to recognize each other. Ha Ha. Can't wait to meet ya'll.
Susan

Phyl
-
Yep, what a great day it was! Was SO good to meet everyone - know some of you really drove quite a way to get there - so glad you did! Tammi's daughter is such a doll - really enjoyed her youthful exuberance and appreciate her being our photographer.
We will certainly plan to do it again very soon. I will also be in touch about getting a support group meeting started.
Phyl, we sure hope to see you down this way again before too long!
Have a great week all!
Cindy

Cindy,
I agree we too had a really good time on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Looking forward to the next one and hopefully the GA support group too.
Kit & kay

Hello, all! This is Tammi's daughter, Emily. :) I just wanted to say what a blessing you all are to my mom. It is really hard for my sister and me to totally empathize with what mom is going through, and you all really understand, which is indispensable! I am really glad I got to meet some of you Saturday. It was a GREAT get-away for mom and me! Please keep in touch and let us know of any meetings in the future.
P.S. I am trying to get the pictures up soon! My computer isn't handling the photo uploader too well. :-\
Thank you for being the beautful and supportive people that you are,
Emily

It was so great to see everyone last Saturday. The food was great, but the company was better. I enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone.
Emily, Tammi's daughter, was so cute and sweet. It was fun having her there. You know, that youth factor.
Can't wait to get together again!
Grace
