I have had this myLot friend for a year or so here on myLot. We have never met and we live maybe 100 miles or so apart. Well this myLot mrember is in town so my wife and I are going to meet her for a late lunch today. My daughter also a member here will be meeting us as well. I am excited even though I have an abcess starting. it hurts slightly but I want to meet this friend. Have you met anyone you have on your friends list here face to face? Have you met anyone here that you did not know prior to being a member? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Sorry about your abcess problem but I know you are very excited to meet your friend face to face. I do know one person here on mylot, she and I have been friends for a long time and she is the one who invited me to this site. She used to live within walking distance from me and now she lives in a different state. I have met someone face to face that I met online playing slingo years ago. She lives close to an hour away from my youngest daughter and one time when I went to visit this friend and her two sons come and she and I took her two sons and my grandson to a wilderness park type place and had a picnic also. This was maybe 7 years ago and it was so nice to be able to meet her face to face. Have a great day.

It's great you are able to meet a friend here in mylot in person. But you are from the same country. The good thing is you are able to arrange a date with her together with your wife. It is so sweet. The next time you come over to malaysia I will be happy to be your host and a tour guide. Just tell me and I'll be happy to avail myself.

I take note of that. Your currency value is higher than ours so I think you are better off than we are here.

Hi Grandpa Bob, I am so excited for you and I know how you are feeling as I too have in fact had the privelege to have met two froends that I have met through being friends here at MyLot and my lunch meeting turned into four hours in no time at all and the person was everything I expected and more and their wife was adorable and he even made a discussion about me called a real devonshire beauty which was so touching. I was overwhelmed too as I thought they had planned the visit to coincide with a time they would be staying in my area anyway, but no, they drove 85 miles just to meet me, wow. The other person actually came to stay at my home for a few days as they were visiting area but couldn't get booked into a hotel but I felt it was right to offer and immediately upon meeting them knew I had made the right decision as my little son (4) took to her immediately and he is funy with people until he gets to know them and a firm friendship from both has definitely been made. Have fun, enjoy and let us all know how the meeting went. Ellie :D

I have a feeling who it is you are going to meet and she is a lovely woman if I am guessing right. I haven't the pleasure to have met but if it is who I am thinking of I am halfway through one of her books at present. Yes I am very blessed to have met and to have remained close friends with them as I am sure you will too. Once again enjoy and healing huggles so you forget about you abcess. Ellie :D

Hello Grandpa Bob, well I must say you are very lucky to be able to meet a Mylot friend, sadly most of my friends live too far away from me, different continents even, which is a great shame, it would be lovely to have a big convention where all Mylotters met up, that would be fantastic for sure, but it's not geographically possible because of how far apart we all are, we did a convention in the UK for a site where we all met up, I have never had so much fun in all my life, I loved it. You will be fine, just fine and I am sure you'll be writing up a discussion to tell us all how it went, successfully! Enjoy!

I've never met a MyLot friend. But I have met several online friends. I've met one from Florida, one from Tennessee,and a friend and his wife from California. My closest friend from the Internet is from Missouri. I've met her and her wife and one of her sons several times while visiting Branson. We've gone out to eat and had a great time talking. The friend from California was in Tennessee visiting his son and he and his wife met with the lady from TN and me and my husband in Nashville where we were living at the time. It is a joy to meet so many people you've known a long time and find out what they are really like. So I know you are going to have a great time today.

Yes,it's great meeting online friends. And some of them make lasting friendships! I have a few, though, I've never met, but plan to meet them later. They are already close friends. We do telephone one another at times.

Nope, I missed that chance in June, but I will not miss it next time I am near your place. I also know of at least one member who is less than an hour from here, on my friend list, and I think the next time I go to her city I will give her a heads up that I am coming. You did not say who you were meeting. Say "Hi" to Minnie, and swish that abscess with some peroxide.

hi Grandpa Bob how nice. that should be really enjoyable. I have always hoped someday to meet one of mylot friends but so far have not been able to do so. some of you just stick in my mind so that I would just love being able to meet you or Mooch, or Gabs just to name a few.Its interesting to me' to find that someof you mylotters are actually living not far from me. Anyway I hope you and your wife and Minnie will all have a lovely lunch, and that your abcess doesnt get to bothering you. good luck and God Bless.

I haven't met anyone from here, although one person lives within 15 miles of me and is on my friend list, but several years back, I did drive to North Jersey to meet three people I had gotten to know in an AOL chatroom to celebrate one's birthday. We had a blast! I really enjoyed myself, although I didn't get home until well after 2AM - it's a long drive from there to here. And, I've even independently gone to the same bar/restaurant up that way whenever I'm up there because I just enjoyed it so much (and the prices were spectacular!) We never got together again, but a good time was had by all, nonetheless. I hope you have an equally good time with your face-to-face.

I recently added a couple friends on here that live fairly close to me also. I have yet to really get to know them at this time. But someday we may meet as well. I met a lot from various chat rooms in AOL as well. I became a computer guru awhile back and even met new people to mend their computer woes a few times. Thanks it went well and I have a few diascussions along the lines of the meeting started. Have a great day/evening as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
