I had a six-hour-long walk with a poster once - it was amazing, perfect September weather, and the ocean, and just a lovely time!

We had a meetup and most (all?) posters shared their screen names.
It was at least 10 or more posters.
But I don't keep up with any of them irl and have never met them before.
We had fun. It was really pleasant!

Only one in real life briefly. It was on a tour she told me about (she worked at place we went on vacation).
Have had telephone conversations with a few over schools, moving to Israel etc

She couldn't stop raving about you when I met her Very Happy

2

One did a chessed for me so I went to her house.

The second hooked up with us via imamother for a midwinter activity but I didn't ask her name and it didn't come up. It was funny how we both saved each other's numbers in our phones under our usernames.

Four IRL, but I can think of dozens that I'd love to meet up with!

I found everyone to be very sweet and down to earth IRL, and not the least bit intimidating or disappointing.

One whom I knew from beforehand. My mother and sister happen to have accounts, but I would be surprised if they’ve even visited in the last few years.
Who knows uf I know anyone else.
I have never actually met anyone this way.

I wish. I actually don't know anyone in real life who uses imamother. I'd be glad to turn my cyber-friendships into real ones, though, if any of you Israelis want to get together. Smile

Well I can "threaten" Wink

to send my grandchildren up the hill to play with your dog. Sounds intimidating, right?

So maybe we should do it again? You can join this time! I would definitely be interested in meeting you.

Thanks!

As I wrote before, my biggest issue is working out the timing.

I was at the Brooklyn meetup so met a nice group. Don’t remember everyone though as it was a bigger group.

Aside from that meetup I have met 5 posters irl. 2 who I have become good friends with.

This is actually why I have this huge fear of someone figuring out who I am IRL. This is one place where I can totally be myself and not worry about my opinions being PC or unpopular or whatever. I post all my opinions, no matter how controversial, under my SN, so I would die if someone found out who I am.

I have written some of my experiences that make me probably be not-so-anonymous... now every time I’m feeling real ornery and wanting to be nasty I need to remember to “amother” myself or else! ( Just a joke! I hate nasty posters)

Easy for me. I’m constantly cleaning out my house and giving away everything I own.
