its wierd...talking here is one thing...but talking about this face to face...I dunno about that.

I won't be at this one - though I'd love to. It could be a birthday present to myself ... but this is not the year. I envy each of you that is going, but I also pray it is a point of strengthening and joy. And I'll be here, waiting for reports of how great it was, so I can bolster myself up to maybe even go next year...

I don't think it's necessary if you don't feel you want to or can. I've never been to either, so I'm not sure, but from reading here, I get the impression that the weekends of recovery are more geared to the individual taking part in activities and group meetings and talking to counselors and other survivors, etc. I think, and again, I don't really know, that this conference is much more general and informative. From looking over the workshops, it seems there are certainly opportunities for participating, but I don't believe it's thrust upon you.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will set it straight.

Hi Tom, you would be the unassuming one Your post was just very, well, unassuming

Trish

Nervous still, but looking forward to it. Let's all find a time & place to meet if we don't just bump into each other.

All - I had talked about this briefly with several of us going.

Let's plan a lunch or dinner? My sense is that there are not that many members from here who are going to be there - probably a dozen at the most, which is actually pretty good.

But let's try to officially meet and get away from all those Therapists trying psychoanalyze us all the time....HAHAHA.
Wonder what they're like at one of these things...

"Hi, my name is Dr. Joe Smith. How do you feel about that?"

sorry, little therapist humor there....
Paul

Sounds great. I will be at the Leo House as of this evening and would happy to meet and doodlers, procrastinators, unassuming ones, hey even women! .

*giggles* I am soooooooo looking forward to this weekend and meeting you guys. BTW, I just checked my registration against the times posted on line for workshops and they conflicted so I checked with Trisha and she confirmed that my registration times were wrong. I would have missed one of my workshops entirely *ack!* so I suggest you guys check it out too.

Larry, I sent you an e-mail with my workshop info and I'll send another with contact info for me - I hereby designate you as meeting coordinator, K?

Trish

Paul sounds good about getting together. I am open all lunch and dinners except Friday Lunch.
