I don't remember hearing about any arrangements. Maybe next time? Or, since I'm always here, in this case we don't have to wait until some meeting...

Cindy,
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in a little town called Livermore, but if we could set up a meeting for the group of us on a weekend I'd be more than willing to drive to wherever was necessary to make it convenient for everyone else. What do you think? I think it would be a lot of fun!

This is a perfect example of black-and-white or all-or-nothing thinking, the extremes that us depressed people sometimes try to live by.
East coast or West coast? Two extremes.
The pivotal point of moderation here is clear: Texas !!
I can put up two people. (But you have to like big dogs.)
Ya'll come on down, now, heah?

Sure, you're free to do this on your own, too, of course, I don't need to be there. (But you won't have a referee! :-)

California group, if we lived back east, we would all be in different states! I'm in Southern California...Temecula. Now San Luis Obispo is pretty, but Livermore! Ukk! (no offense). So far we have one northern Ca, one Mid, and one southern! And, why does Dr. Bob think we would need a referee? Hmm. Jennifer

I live in San Diego and have family in Temecula. I also love San Luis Obispo and points north. Morro Bay is one of my favorites. I wouldn't mind a weekend drive up there. Let me know what all you Calif. people decide.

Greg,
I'm with you as far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned. And I'm not wild about Dallas either. Actually, I was kidding, because I'm far too ashamed of my house and how I keep it to let anyone in. I'd have to shoot you in the back as you left to keep you quiet -- not really!The dogs do not bite. They will hover over you (my Collie especially loves guy strokes), slobber on you (the Collie again), jump up when you get up because you might be going into the kitchen for food (they don't get human food/hand fed), then they will stand in front of you patiently--allowing you to pet them if you want, and reluctantly turning away as you say move, move, move, move, move, move.
As you come up to the deck, they will eagerly await you on the stairs, so you have to say move, move, move, move, move. And Lamar, the collie, had to learn to climb stairs so he doesn't know whether to go up or down, so you have to stand there while he makes up his mind.
I adopted both as adults, and they are wonderful companions. Shadow, my black lab, is about 7 or 8, and Lamar is about 5-6. Shadow has her Canine Good Citizen certification. Lamar tried his best in doggie training, but was always car sick going to and from, and not feeling well during.
At any rate, I think a get-together would be a lot of fun, except that I would be such a disappointment to myself and everyone else.

Shar,
Shame on you for that last comment! You are one of the most kind, considerate and compassionate people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It would be my honor to meet you someday! Now, no more of that talk, OK? Remember, we share a common bond and don't take each other's inventories.
It's funny, but when you were talking about how your dogs acted, I couldn't help but think how similar it was to my kids.....hmmmmm.
I hope your day is going well and I was really sorry to hear about the job. I know you did your best and recognized that it wasn't a good situation for you. That shows that you are taking good care of yourself. The right job will come along and you'll know when it does. Trust in yourself!
BIG ((((HUGS)))),
