This is probably "off topic" for this Facebook thread, but ..... I agree that there was much miscommunication on when the "forumites" were gathering at the symposium, mainly because of all of our hearing deficits.  I, as well, vote for a specific gathering of Forum participants next time ...... in as quiet a place, as possible.  Background noise, such as "quiet" music, other conversations, or even air conditioning systems are deadly for me.

I think that on the "OFF" year for the Symposium, that we should all meet up somewhere, just to have fun...like maybe Lori's at the beach!!

I think we should try and get a forum workshop scheduled at the next symposium. It would a chance for the forumites to gather, and also for other attendees to come see what the forum is about. We might even get a doctor or two to come and see that the Internet is not all bad.

Steve -

this is an excellent idea.  Perhaps the moderators could approach Judy V @ the ANA about this for 2011?  We could even offer to have the forum members sponsor it - if there is enough interest.  I was a sponsor of the 2009 symposium - mainly because I felt it was a great cause and it was in Chicago - but I'm also giving serious thought to sponsoring in 2011 also.

Kaybo -

count me in on the beach idea - I'll start saving my money for airfare now.  Think Lori has enough room for all of us???  :D

Hey, all!  As some of you have seen, 'cause we're now "friends" I am finally on FB.  However, I don't know what I'm doing, don't understand most of it and haven't taken the time to figure it out.  I will, though!  But, in the meantime, sorry if I'm ignoring anyone or anything that you have sent to me.  I'm overwhelmed at the moment :o  Farmthings, pillow fights, hearts, food fights!  What in the world!  Crazy!  I'll consult the boys about it at some point  ;D  they, of course, do know what they're doing!

See you over there,

Cindy

PS - count me in for any beach trip...

I'm with Cindy on this one... I'm on FB (against my better judgement) and mostly family and AN'ers and yes, my school chums from yearrrrrrrrrrrrs gone by have me as friends there.  Have no clue how to poke, play Mafia Wars, pass a drink/flower/game, etc.  Don't ask to "chat" with me there cuz it blows up my home computer but if you post on my wall/webpage, whatever they call it, pls keep it clean..... the youngins in my family see it.

Barely there but some of you have found me there..... oy. :)
