    Somehow I'm existing on about 3 hours sleep since I got home...so far so good...I'm trying to get some work done in between popping in and out of this place, but I think probably by this afternoon my brain will return to mush.

    Ah, I've finally sobered up from the mickey Peter slipped into my apple juice.

    In which case it's my turn to say what a great time I had and how good it was to meet and chat with y'all. I was thinking that next time we should simply give Hadenough one more beer and we'd have our own dancing girl.

    Somebody: get preparin' coz next time I'm expecting to meet a porneia head!

    Thanks, Peter for your organising efforts.

    I think it's great that you guys got together for a bite! I love knowing that others are gaining new friendships/connections through this board, even if I'm not a part of it. I am surprised daily by the amount of well-wishing, love, and family-affection (good and bad!) that is shown on this board. NOTHING like going to a Kingdom Hall!

    In a moment of heartwarming (disgusting?) mushy-ness,

    A very cool bunch of people (not suprising - this is Toronto after all). It was very nice to meet all of you. Thanks especially to Peter for organizing, and to those who came from out of town to the Big Smoke.

    Puleeese give me a warning when you're going to say those things.

    I simply have to "strongly urge" (from "You can't handle the truth" movie ???) Simon to create a "Smiley" for 'shrieking laughter' and for 'hide-your-face-embarassment'.

    I'm still totally unprepared at matching "what you say" with "how you look". The two just don't match and that's why you need to give us some kind of warning before you speak. whew

    Hi Billygoat:

    Nothin' wrong with the heartwarming mushy-ness, I love it too...I say what I feel and its always nice to "hear" it here too. I trust these expressions of feelings among each other far more than I ever did from "elsewhere". There..I just had "a mushy moment" too.

    Hi Just Chris (or whatever):

    What a cool guy you are...so nice talking to you and hearing about your life, then (JW) and now. Hope you can join us for the next one, wherever it will be???

    68, you live in the Buffalo area? I had no chance of going, maybe next time.

    G'day Ozzie:

    I have to say its really nice to see your picture too. I somehow could never reconcile you with whatever that little creature was...a red cricket???

    Mrs. Ozzie, you have good taste... he looks very distinguished. I haven't forgotten your welcomed emails...Hopefully I'll get to them tonight.

    I for one would love to come to your bbq's Ozzie and Prisca, and after meeting this lot in Toronto, I'm sure we'd all have a great fun time there. Wouldn't that be a hoot if we could really get there?

    Anyway, I heard someone mention last night that others were there with us "in spirit" and it meant so much more than hearing that tired phrase at the KH.

    Cheers to our Ozzie friends.

    Hello Moxy:

    I was hoping you'd post here. Glad you decided to come meet us anyway...No apologies needed for being pre-occupied. I give you credit for taking your stand as you did, you've got such a sensible head on your shoulders. Hope you meet us again...sounds like there might be a few more "younger" ones joining us next time...younger than our "29 and holding".

    Hi bitter mango:

    I haven't "talked" to you yet here, but I've noticed a few of your posts. Glad you're here and it was mentioned last night that maybe you'll be able to join us for our next one...Hope so.

    Hi Cygnus:

    I don't know how far away you are from TO, but heard you were maybe going to join us last night... OK maybe next time.
