    Mouthy is right, the food wasn't good the last time I was there; and it's expensive. It's much cheaper to drive into Tamaqua and buy groceries. I went three times and have a pretty good idea what goes on there. There was not much whining; just a whole bunch of hearts full of heart who need to be in the same room with people who have been thru the same heap of crap that all of us went thru in the WT.

    I keep forgetting to ask things....like...most often---how many are usually in attendance? Hubby has asked how do I plan on finding people (from JWD) in a crowd, who I have no idea what they look like, etc, etc.

    If it is a large crowd,---I'm sunk! I don't know where I'll be sitting so I can't even tell anyone else where to find me!

    You will find who your looking for I would say there is not THAT big a crowd it varies year to year When I first went there was about 300. last year i think maybe two hundred. But that is only a guess the only year I DIDNT go they said there was only about ONE hundred....Opposite the desk where you register there is a message board write a not to Grace Gough & tell me where you are & I will find you but I told you I am in the third seat on the left isle as you walk in Gray headed ,ugly, old lady, usually in black( cos I kid myself it makes me look thinner lol) Because I am fat!!!!

    I just saw your post---you make me laugh so much!!!! I tried three times to read this to hubby but had to stop because I was laughing so hard!

    I knew where you'd be sitting cuz you told me (are you kidding----I memorized that post!!) but I had no clue how many folks would be there and was curious how I would work around my "finding" problem. I have also seen pictures of you and have a fairly good idea of what you look like and I think I'd be able to find you without a problem!

    I was 55 pounds overweight until I had that upset in the hospital last summer and dropped 30 pounds in six weeks. I have gained some of that back though, now that I have to eat more often due to the diabetes they just found shortly after I came home from the hospital. So I am "pleasingly plump" too! Ya can't WIN, I tell ya!

    The closer we get to the date---the more excited I am getting! I go to sleep thinking about stuff I need to do or remember to pack....and wake up later thinking ..."oh yeah---okay---where was I on this?" during the night, haha!

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

    hugs,

    Annie

    You can take pee breaks and no one stares at you when you walk down the aisle to go to the bathroom. Most everyone wears nametags. Mouthy will greet everyone with a hug. Everyone introduces themselves the first session of the first day. The first time I went I hid in the bathroom I was too scared too talk. Most people remember me because I was the one who got up and told how I when I left the WT, I would take my garbage and throw it out in the KH parking lot!
