Hi, all. :wave: Here's my story about Dis-Con I.
I didn't hang out on the Dis-Con Board much before Dis-Con. I wasn't sure about letting myself get close to the people on the board before we met in person. I have had a lot of loss in my life. The only family members that I have left are my husband, my sister, and her husband. We are a very small family. Our family gatherings are definitely small and intimate. ;) So, I was scared to about getting too close to the people on the board and finding out that we weren't really friends.
:( :( :(
When it came time to meet everyone, I was so nervous and scared. Well, we all met for the first time at the Whispering Canyon, and it seemed like seeing old friends again. ;)
Our friendships have become so much more than just "online" friends. I've traveled to people's houses, I chat with someone from The Dis Con Board every day, and I consider them my lifelong buddies. I'm even taking a 2400 mile road trip with Thelma (Barb) in a couple of weeks.
To everyone that hasn't registered yet, but is sitting on the fence between wanting to go and not sure about going, this is all I have to say:
You might be missing out on the chance to meet a lifelong friend or friends. :teeth: </font>
