Two and a half years after becoming a DISer I finally attended my very first Meet. How great it was!!! If you've never gone to a Meet, it's a must!!!!:teeth:


Thankyou, Yepod for helping to put it all together and for all the lovely gifts. Danny quickly adopted one of the Beanies as soon as we got home!!;)

I have no pictures to share but I certainly made some lasting memories with Nativetxn, Dan Murphy, Yepod, Helenabear and her DH, Fire 14, Brian (brisully) and Iluvdisney. Great, great people!!!

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!:D

Kitty, it was so great to finally meet you in person! I feel as though I've known you for a long time but I'd never met you.

It's pretty sad when you consider we live maybe 15 minutes apart :rolleyes:

Your sons are very good looking young men, I was so pleased to meet them in person.

We must have another mid Michigan meet again soon. It was too much fun :teeth:

Thank you to our DMC (DIS meet coordinator) yepod. You did a great job, John and the gift bags were so special. I especially love my Miss Daisy Spaceduck beanie.


I had a lot of fun today :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Hey Elaine, I got home in LESS than 3 1/2 hours;)

Likewise, great meeting you, Kitty, along with Mike, Michael and Dan. A wonderful family indeed. :sunny:

Kristy, you WERE at the meet, trust me, you were. In our hearts, all of us. {Hugs}


And nice seeing everyone who was able to come today. Always a joy sharing time with other DIS nuts. A nice day it was. Hope to see everyone at the Chicago meet, which we hope will be in October.

And, John, I can't thank you enough, along with your DW, Jody, for all the wonderful gift bags you had for everyone. Very much appreciate, and so very thoughtful. :)

Kitty, I was so happy to meet you! It was a true pleasure to meet you and your family as it was to meet a few others I hadn't met before. It was also wonderful to be able to see a few of you again :)

Kristy, you were very much there in our hearts and thoughts :)

John, thank you for such a wonderful meet! And all that you brought for us was wonderful!!!! I'll just remember what you actually think of me vs. a few others. Oh and I did NOT get home in 3 1/2 hours... it took 5 minutes longer :rolleyes:

KimRaye
08-17-2002, 10:53 PM
Um, Elaine, what DOES John think of you?? :)

Dan, what's this "we" stuff??? LOL ;) Seems to me the last big area meets were organized by the MALE DISers! (Patrick, Jeff & now, John!) Dan, maybe it's your turn?! :p (running and ducking!) :eek:

Kim, I do believe that John actually thinks nice things about me.... a few around here are convinced that I am most certainly NOT an angel :rolleyes: (how dare they). Oh and good luck trying to get Dan to plan the meet :teeth:

Yay for Kitty! What I wanna know is, what shirt did you end up wearing?:teeth:

KimRaye
08-17-2002, 11:17 PM
John, should I be taking that test? :confused: I fear I'll fail.:(

yepod
08-17-2002, 11:34 PM
KimRaye, you would NOT fail it!

I want you to take the test!

My previous post was about El:eek: :eek: ;)

I'm her DMC, she's my LFP;)

(Hints L = what's in the center of a pencil?
F = what's at the bottom of your leg?
P = what's Cinderella (or Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora etc?)

Catsrule, I ended up wearing a white shirt........I'm surprised the DIS pics haven't made it up on the boards yet!!!!!:o I brought pics of my kitties but there were no takers on posting them!!! LOL


Hey guys, I had a lime-green streamer hanging from my hat, and a nice little Mickey pin and Yepod the DMC (Dis Meet Coordinator) let me go right past him at the Mall!!!!:p

It was Dan's voice that made me realize that there was a group already there in the Mall's Food Court!!!:jester:

Elaine.....it was very nice meeting you and your DH!! The boys are still talking about the "water" computer!!!;)

Patrick, I'm planning on Patrick-Con 2003, next July!! Maybe after that we'll talk a Kitty-Con!!!:smooth:

catsrule
08-17-2002, 11:41 PM
I would've posted your kitty pics, Kitty! In fact, that is all I would have posted!:p

I want you to take the test!OK John, I'm Belle!

You are a true bookworm and dream of a life better than the simple, quiet one you lead now. Your good looks can attract the town jerks, but you manage to ignore them most of the time. Sometimes you feel like you're surrounded by idiots. So what are you waiting for? You don't need your father to be kidnapped to get out and see the world. Although you can be stubborn, you're also very compassionate and see beyond people's façades.
:rolleyes: :confused: Sure.

And, w/o the Hints, I guessed Lead Foot!!!! ROFL But, princess???? :rolleyes: :p :jester:

helenabear
08-17-2002, 11:50 PM
That's it!!!! I've had enough of this picking today :mad: Just because I averaged 73.43 mph going there and 72.55 mph going home does NOT mean I am lead footed. And thanks Kim for your support there :rolleyes: :mad:

Kitty, I am so glad that Michael and Dan enjoyed hearing about the water computer of Luis'! I'm just shocked that our very own DMC missed you as you walked in!!!

yepod
08-18-2002, 12:08 AM
See Kim, I knew you were a clever princess (like Belle);)

And this so called streamer of Kitty's was a tiny piece of pale green ribbon that you could barely see on her white hat:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;)
Kitty, ya need to start wearing Mike's pin w/ the lime green ribbon!;)

And we were thinking of a Kitty-Con THIS YEAR:jester: :jester:

And Cindy El, I was not saying you had big feet, just HEAVY LOL
If I take up bank robbery, you will be my first choice for getaway driver;)

Elaine, I think you lost your 'tickle bone' during all that FAST driving!! ;) :p :jester:

No... it was the 7 hours total stuck in the car with Luis that did it to me ;) The driving itself was great :teeth:

Oh Kim, I forgot to tell you, there is one reason why I like Michigan. The speed limit on 95% of the roads I drove there was 70!!! Not bad at all :teeth:

yepod
08-18-2002, 08:31 AM
Good morning princess;)

Was Luis being more of a frog instead of a prince:confused: :rolleyes: ;)

Where are the pics Elaine dear?

I tried to find a free site last night & it seems both boomerweb & woorldzone have closed free enrollment:(

I'll have to get some info from you on a good site for a technically challenged DISer (ya know STUPID;) )

And El, where are the pictures (Please!)?

It was nice meeting you Kitty - I know how you were feeling. I was that way once, but you will not want to miss very many DIS meets now.
I've got to say that it was very nice seeing everyone at the DIS meet yesterday - it's so nice to be able to sit and just talk to someone like you've known them forever. I had a great time also and it was really nice to meet some new DIS friends (new to me, that is).
Thanks again for the fun Yeopod! Hope to run into all of you again and soon!

Don't forget that we're trying another little MI meet next month on the 14th for anyone who's interested. Reading about how much fun you all had yesterday makes me wish I'd been able to be there. Hopefully we'll have a good turn out next month.:)
