..I got your email eventually...I'm not here much cause I'm not of this world.
..Anyway I'd prefer the sunflower pic ~ so what do others think?..much brigter simpler and positive...and could be made in a cartoon-ish printer friendly way..that's if I still got somewhere it in the cobwebs.
Even the pic shown above could be
simplified-I like it..maybe it's the phallic towers that does it for me..and who's the one in black/grey?..we're made for eachother..

> This is a gratifying thread. And thanks to Dr. Bob for putting up this lovely picture. It's now part of my slide show on my screensaver, but I want to know who's who. I'll have to check and see if there's something on the board here, I'll bet there is.
I'll leave it to the photo subjects to spill the beans on that one, but alas... A few backs are M.I.A. here... Rainbowbrite, me, maybe All Done. We missed the boat... LITERALLY! After which this pic was taken. (Hey, what's up with Bob not taking another one later!) To my knowledge there are no other anonymous ones with the entire group. Oh well, we snoozed and losed! ;)

I'm not sure why you didn't get an answer.
I feel responsible - it was my idea to use your picture.
I don't think I've seen the other ones, but I'm sure they are also wonderful.
I'm sorry.

I hate the nasty sort of hypomania. Have your doctors switched your meds around any? I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to take so long to reply! Whatever you all decide would be fine with me. I do think cartoon-ish would work better. I'll send you what I have...

Bob..
I'm a bit confused what the picture/t-shirt is for.
I'm finding it hard to read thr threads-
The get together has gone.If you still want a picture do you want words on it..you'll have to tell me what words you want.

It's for people who came to the party. And maybe others who want one?

People seemed to like the idea of just the picture, no words. Thanks,

To add to your data collection, if you wish.
My therapist thinks that the trip to Chicago was a major turning point in a positive way for me. He sees a lot of changes that he believes are a result of that trip.
Even though you aren't conversing as I know you can do right now, I thought I'd give that to you.

Well, he sees the courage to take the trip as a *major* step for me - along with a couple of other things that I did the last few weeks.
Funny how being around people that 'get it' makes a difference, isn't it.

Even though I'm "between therapists" at the moment, it was a big AHA! trip for me, too. Extremely empowering and I cannot say how priviledged I feel to know and have met you bunch in person.
pc not particularly politically correct

It was definitely a big "get out in the world and DO something" moment for me. My therapist was happy about my enthusiasm.

I think the thing that really impressed my therapist is that he says my whole attitude towards relationships seems to have changed. In many subtle things from the content of my dreams and sexual fantasies to the way I communicate. He thinks it has turned me toward connectedness.
Or something like that.
(Ummmm... Not saying the dreams or sexual fantasies are about the Babble birthday party. More a global shift sort of thing.)

My therapist just thought it was interesting, and I did as well. Thought I'd pass it along.
He also says he's learned a lot about online communities and how real the relationships can be from Babble.

Late to this thread, sigh.
I learned that I can be seriously lost in the third largest city and not panic. Came in quite handy the following weekend as well. :)
Note to self: the geographically impaired should not work together to get "unlost".
(Love ya, La la!)

...takes me back to how I felt when I first moved here over ten years ago... Until then I had only lived in pretty suburban towns, and had last been coming from an environment that was mostly a sprawl of new, generic-looking development... To walk these streets and realize... I. LIVE. HERE.!!!!!!!!!! The sheer exhilaration of the historic buildings, skyscrapers, crisply uniformed doormen at classic hotels and high-rise residences blowing whistles for cabs, ladies walking matching toy dogs in the sleek city parks... So so different from anything I had ever been around before (for more than a few random days on vacation somewhere). And now... I. LIVED. HERE.!!!!!!
LORD how I wish I could recapture that feeling! Now my dreams have long been straying back towards more peaceful surroundings... But noise and commotion and myriad things to look at (even on a dreary Monday afternoon) are in my blood now, so I also fear what too much quiet and a "finite urban horizon" might do to me at this point. When visiting suburbs I love it but after awhile I am also freaked out in some ways... Like that commercial where the guy is running through the streets screaming "Where IS everybody??!!" I may go into shock when it sunk in that... I. LIVE. HERE. INSTEAD. NOW.!!!!!!! ;-)
Hey GG, I forgot you were coming back the next weekend! Hope you got into some good things then too!

So...where does Chicago fall..does it come up soon after #10? Is it third in the U.S.?
To me, it's an interesting list. I would have only guessed a few correctly.

> Hey GG, I forgot you were coming back the next weekend! Hope you got into some good things then too!ConfuzyQ, love the new name, btw. I'm glad you love living in the 3rd largest city in the US. (ahem). I loved the excitement, variety, energy, etc. when I was there. But I guess I'm too much of a small town girl to be able to comfortably live there (the horn honking!). But I definitely can see the attraction. I used to live in the downtown area of a smaller city, and it was more exciting than the suburbs.
I did have fun on my return trip. Did the boat tour again with a different docent, so I learned new things. Wandered around, went to a museum, ate great food, etc. I even got a blister again and didn't complain! Tried to ditch my hubby at the train station (well, it WAS an accident!)...had a great time.
Oh, and I got seriously lost again trying to meet up with All Done for lunch. Seriously seriously lost. But alls well that ended well, and we had a great lunch and talk.
Thanks for being a lovely hostess for you lovely city.
