Glad you guys are having a good time. I wish I were there with you.
Is it next year in Toronto? I'm going to plan ahead!
Keep us posted with details!
I feel like I'm with you vicariously.

We really did wish you were there too!! And I wish I stayed longer. I told my husband that next year I will. I made the mistake of replying to a voicemail message on my cell phone.
He decided he wasn't happy I was there (a little late buddy). In his temper, he woke up my daughter, who was now upset. That ruined my good mood, I felt sick to my stomach and left the group. I wish I could get my husband some good therapy for him to work on why he is so angry!!!

This has been amazing. It is like getting together with old friends. And everybody is really very much like who they are on the board.
It is great to get real hugs.
Boy does socializing make me tired!!!!
I wished you all were here. You were here in spirit.
More details later!

I hope he had some fun with Dr. Bob anyway. Hmm. I suppose I'd feel a bit out of place with a lot of men, I can understand that.

That's great fun to think about. Was Dr. Bob supposed to bring T-shirts? Does this mean he is unreliable??? I'm feeling a bit of angst.

If it were in Toronto next year, it would mean I don't have to worry about crossing the border; we're much easier on Americans, I understand,than they are on us. When it comes to the border thing.. and I won't get into politics with my American friends .. they're not all the same ... I know that.

He sounds just exactly like my husband before I left. Exactly. It was embarrassing, I was humiliated in public just once too often. He was acting like a complete child, being emotionally violent with all of us .. and I think maybe I was too, in my own way, because I did kind of hate him .. but that's my story not yours. I don't know, if my husband or anybody else woke a sleeping child to use them as a weapon, I would be absolutely furious.

Hi everyone.
I'm still in Chicago. After our day in the sun and then getting drenched, plus all the socializing, I was too tired to even think of driving home. Falls was kind enough to not kick me out of the room. :)Watched the fireworks from our window...how cool!
Got a blister on my foot and some icky sunburn because I didn't do such a good job with the sunblock....war wounds. :) Definitely worth it.

It was terrific. I think anyone who can manage it should plan for next year. It wasn't even scary!
(Unless that was because of the klonopin I took for the plane ride. No, no. It wasn't.)
But it didn't feel right being there without trying our best to include you guys too. So I'm glad Tamara was around while we posted.
Hope to see lots of you at BabbleFest 2006!
(Now I'd better spend some quality time with my family. I missed them.)

We have a whole year to improve the technology.

The planning has already begun.

Glad you made it safe home. Hugs to all, and a good snuggly sleep.

I'm still processing things a bit. At some point someone (sorry, I forgot who) said, "Toph, I thought you were younger." Puzzled because everyone was being so nice and complimentary, I couldn't figure out whether I was just dissed or not. So, did that mean I look old? Or are my posts so feekin' immature? I best think again the next tme I have the urge to post about man boobs or inflatable sex toys. Of course maybe she was saying I look mature... naaaah.

I've been back since last night and posting on admin and psychological. Thought I should check in here.
It was great. I wasn't scared. Babblers are friendly and kind in person as on the internet. Dr. Bob didn't make us feel like research subjects, either. It was fun.
Count me in for Babblefest '06. I have a passport that is current and no arrest warrants that I know of. ;)

p.s. Toph, you look just fine at any age.

where were you? did you look for us? :-) I know we were in chicago, and there was water around...sometimes and sometimes not...and we were in restaurants at times and at other times we were in other places. Down town is my best guess but I dont know chicago that well. And we had fun!
why didn't you come??

When I said we are still here and all together, that wasn't exactly accurate. Some folks had to leave, so the group that was together was a bit smaller.
So we were missing Toph, annierose, Dr. Bob, spoc, and rainbowbrite at the time of the post. Didn't want them to feel left out.

That was me, d'oh! Sometimes my brain to GG filter just gets these really big holes in it, and I just blurt stuff.
Of course I didn't mean you were old. I didn't mean it as a dis. I just associated you with the avatar from the other site, and even though I knew that picture was not you, it's just what I had in my head. It had more to do with that than the content of your posts.
And I think you are lovely, funny, handsome, and dare I say it??? Sensitive. I like that. I liked meeting you.
Sorry if my blurt came out wrong.
And feel free to post about man boobs or sex toys all you like. Those concepts are ageless, imo. ;)
