My comment on families joining us was intended to spark some conversation about the topic - not to lay down the law. But no one else commented. I don't know if that is because other agreed, or if they felt they didn't have the option of disagreeing or what. But I certainly don't have any more say than anyone else! And, as I said, in the Depression Support group I really did like it when family came to support one of our members.
So... Don't take my opinion as *the* answer!!!!! It is just my opinion.

We'd never like her better than you, Toph. You're Toph, who's been here for us all this time. But we might be glad that our Toph has such a lovely wife and helpmate. :)
I think you should suggest she come meet us. If she sees we're not scary, she might feel better.
I have no problem with her coming.
I offered my husband the chance to come, and while he wouldn't have hung out with us, I'm sure, he would have probably said hi.
He couldn't though.

See, I just know see'd like you guys. But she has the garage sale. Oh, and I was wrong about the loss deduction. But you can donate the stuff that doesn't sell and make a charitible deduction, I'm told.Have a great dinner. Michigan Avenue is fun at night. Be sure to get Bob so loaded he can't do any research on you guys. ; ) I wish I could hear all the stories. Hope to meet you Saturday.

I posted this on social-babble, but this is a story that should be of deep concern to *all* of the world's citizens for human rights to us with a mental illness.

I wonder if the posts get online faster when you type them in Chicago.
Babblemail me if you need to contact the crew here in the windy city.
A very excited Falls.

...from Spoc & Rainbowbrite (who is here getting ready to go to the airport now). I didn't know you had put together those gift bags yourself, that was sweet (literally!) of you. Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye, hope you had a good trip back! Btw, we just got back from a group lunch, during which a torrential downpour occurred, but none of us melted and we had a good time!

You're Welcome!! It was my pleasure. I had fun thinking of some ice breakers.
Rainbowbrights name suits her. But you're not really a Spoc ... too pretty and smiley.

Yes, much thanks for all you did to make this get-together so much fun and such a success. What a gal!
It was great to meet you, and to know that you are such a generous, fun, and warm person in real life, too.
Actually it was great to meet everyone face to face. I would say it was like putting on a pair of comfy shoes, but I seem to have forgotten what comfy shoes are like. :)

Same to you GG!!
Yes, as I wrote to Fallsfall, eating pizza on a rainy afternoon with our babbling girlfriends, sounds perfect. Wish I was there. Who else can we talk with so freely about our lives, our therapist, our therapy and chocolate (of course)... plus, there was a Starbucks on every corner.
I hope your drive home was uneventful. No phone calls to get your off your path :) Those Chicago freeways are so confusing.
I am truly looking forward to our next adventure!!

Everyone was very relaxed and friendly and I think it was a real success. Seemed like not a thing to worry or think twice about after all, in finally having a get-together. I hope you all got into some more fun things after I left, unfortunately I have some other commitments this weekend as well. Hope things worked out for fallsfall and whoever else was staying until today too; at least it's not raining (yet?)...
Thanks for the compliment annierose, I return it! One day I will think of which actress it is you remind me of. And Rainbowbrite, yes it sounds like you continued to O.D. on sugar all the way home, dipped into annierose's goodie bag again perhaps, hmmmm???? ;-)
Oh and to everyone not present: don't ever listen to Dinah again when she claims she is unattractive. She is honestly very pretty! As a matter of fact, we were all pretty much supermodels (including Toph and Bob). I think everyone around us wanted to ask for autographs but they were too intimidated. ;-)

Dr. Bob, Fallsfall, GardenerGirl, Partly Cloudy, Rainbowbright, Spoc and Toph.
It was great, not scary at all. I felt relaxed and comfortable with you guys which is a rarity for me. Now if I could just get that feeling in therapy. Hey, what is everybody doing on Thursday? I like the idea of that Greek chorus we wanted to do for All Done.
A special thanks to Annierose for the gift bag and all the thought put into our dinner.
Now if we could have just kept the rain away during lunch...

Spoc -
I agree! Dinah is very attractive and probably not too happy that we are blowing her cover talking about this. Sorry Dinah, but it's true.
And I love G.G. reddish hair! I pictured her more of a brunette. But her bubbly and warm personality was exactly what I expected.
Here's to the 2006 tour of babbling cities!!
