[Kindredspirit]

Ardan gave me this idea:) Who ( or is it Whom? ) have you met since joining Simply Discus?

I have met:

Jon ~ WineCountrydiscus

Mike ~ Mikcus

Kenny ~ International Discus ~ Loverboy

Tina ~ Tpl*Co

Deb ~ One of the Mods at Sc

Candy ~ Candy

Cliff ~ CliffDiscus

I hope I have not forgot anyone ~

And I hope to meet many more at the ACA in July in Sacramento:) such as Paul * Andrew & Angela * Larry and Ingrid * Steve and Anna * Connie * Teresa * Amber * Andrew * Barb * and many more! I have scheduled a week off just for that event:D


Marie ~ http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_2_4.gif

There is nothing better than meeting fellow members of the hobby that you love!

Marie, I hope that you can make it out in the spring to meet yet more members that simply love this hobby!!

East coast has the looks!! :D ;)

Mark

[Kindredspirit]

I was born in Ill, Mark:) I do not think I will be able to make it anywhere that requires the green stuff:( ...or a plane ~ I do not do planes well:o

I work a lot I am afraid ~ but I already have my vaca planned around the ACA....and hopefully some time to hook up with Steve and Ana ~ I think they are coming the week before or the week after to visit Ms. Pringles:)

It will be very sad if I can not get the time off tho ~ as two weekends in a row is .....wishful thinking:p To come all the way to Cali and not meet them would....cut deep ~


I would love to meet you Mark!! You would so make me laugh ~


Marie ~ :balloon:

I've been lucky so far and have met April and Jason over in Vancouver. I've talked to Marie and Amber a lot on the phone so feel like I know them, haven't met face to face but still meant a lot. I'd love to meet more though. Hopefully, ACA will factor into my plans in July.

[April]

Of course everyone you posted in July, and especially you Marie

[April]

geez..larry..you met alot. im moving to the east. lol.

[GrillMaster]

I have had the pleasure of meetin Brew. I also have met Scolly (Steve).

I can honestly say, if it wern't for Al, I would be over there on the planted tank doin what I had been doin the last few years...

It was Al that gave me the fish to pursue the hobby. Since then, I have been pretty much hooked.

I cant wait to meet others that share the same obsession.

[Polar_Bear]

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{April}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} It was a terrible over sight on my part and I apologize. You will be there in July?

btw thank you so much for the doggie stuff, Cubby LOVES the little stuffed animal and Teddy won't let anyone near his fish, not even Dad. I kept the large fish for me, I love the noise it makes.

[Kindredspirit]

Hopefully, ACA will factor into my plans in July.

Well, by July we'll ever be a break or make for work. And not too far a drive really. So hopefully all the cards will fall in the right places by then!http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12_3_46.gif

Ardan

[Ed13]

Not to distract from the original purpose of the thread but, to me its not who you have met (I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any member yet), but who do you wan't to meet;) So far there are members from Ct to Chicago, Florida and Cali that I hope to meet one day, as well as some from Asia and one that I would probably have to follow to the Amazon to meet up with him!

Ed, I was thinking that just a bit ago. Please start a new thread.

[RyanH]

Tad and Oodi in Yosemite a couple of years ago when I went out for a visit. :)

Put it here Ed! I WAS going to incl that but I was thinking that some may feel left out if no one wanted to meet them? lol!!

I guess not! Go for it:D

[Kindredspirit]

Tad and Oodi in Yosemite a couple of years ago when I went out for a visit. :)


uh huh ~ I remember that trip:( Ya just blew me off ~ remember?


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_165_4.gif

[Darren's Discus]

It's hard being in sunny north queensland perfect discus weather and water just a little to far to go to meet some of you.I have had the pleasure of meeting Rod Lewis,great guy good set up and great fish hopefully one day i will get to meet more of the simply family in person !


cheers

[Ed13]

Nope, cause that would change the purpose of this thread. As far as not hurting anyone feelings and to minimize the space used maybe a top 5 or top 10 list is necessary? What do you think? Thinking off only 5 members is tough isn't?

[Kindredspirit]

Nope


babyhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_2_4.gif

[oodi]

Tad and Oodi in Yosemite a couple of years ago when I went out for a visit. :)

Geez, Ryan... that was over 2 years ago already. It doesn't seem like that long ago. If I remember correctly, I had just nailed Tad with a snowball. :D

Judi

[GrillMaster]

Damn!! I jus wanna meet everyone!!! Anyone here on Simply that shares the same passion is on my meetin list!! :D

Aren't you guys so lucky.

Oh, how I miss Yosemite:( I use to live out that way when I was younger use to be in Yosemite every weekend.

[Kindredspirit]

You did Tiff? I did not know that did I? lol! I love the Yosemite! Kenny is picking me up and we are going:)

[t_j]

You are so lucky the air out there is so fresh and the sites out there are so nice too. I use to live in Groveland (I think thats how you spell it) and Big Oak Flats. I just hate the ride up to Groveland us "natives" call the road there "The Grave". Have you been there before?

I don't remember Groveland, but I know Big Oak Flats.

Ditto that Larry ~ I think I have Tiff .....I can remember vaguely...lol!

[t_j]

I don't remember Groveland, but I know Big Oak Flats.

Groveland is the first town you hit when you get up the mountian and then comes Big Oak Flats.

[swinters66]

I havent met anyone from here.....

[poconogal]

Marie, I've met Teresa Pastrana, we've become friends! Nobody else, though.

[Kindredspirit]

Nobody else, though.

Right, NOT YET!!!! But, July is coming closer...

[RyanH]

uh huh ~ I remember that trip:( Ya just blew me off ~ remember?


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_165_4.gif

Actually Marie, I think it was the trip out last spring that I blew you off. I couldn't help it though. I planned the trip poorly and then I got sick. :(

[RyanH]

Geez, Ryan... that was over 2 years ago already. It doesn't seem like that long ago. If I remember correctly, I had just nailed Tad with a snowball. :D

Judi
:)

LOL. I was pretty sure that Tad was up to no good in that pic but I couldn't remember the details. I'm sure he deserved the snowball. :D

Time flies huh?

[Tad]

Yup Ryan,
Snowball to the head with rock in center...Was a great time we had ...too bad we didnt hook up last year with You and Shannon on your trip out west......Try coming out again around ACA this year and you can hang out with Jeep, Jack, Korbi and Us LOL.

Tad

PS: you owe me a Black and Tan :p

[dragonlover]

Thank you Simply! I am the luckiest....only been on the site a week or so and already met Jack AND saw his basement AND took home fish. Let the hate mail commence...;)

Oh, Marie, thanks yet again, you've already invited me to your home! But my husband wants to come too... so we thought we'd just get a hotel room, which reminds me, I'd better start shopping around for airfares and hotels! Like NOW!!!!!

Marie ~ :balloon:

Life sure does get in the way at times. Lately I've been doing way too much after work. Then coming home doing my water changes, jumping on the computer,frantically scanning S.D. because I am addicted. So I sometimes miss things then see them later on. I hate that:mad: .
I would love to come out to Cali in July;) That would be awesome!!!!

Teresa
