Was good seeing everyone. Was in a bad mood all week and this did cheer me up, so thanks.

I love these meetings. First, I get to meet some of the peeps here and put faces with names. Then the conversations are so varied. Who knows what we're going to talk about. It could be HIV, pets, the Amish, differences in Europe and America or a billion other things. LOL

Great meet up per usual gang. I just enjoy these Virtual meet-ups so much! Looking forward to a second one later this month! Also, Jim I can’t imagine you in a bad mood, so I am glad you’re feeling better. Enjoy the beach time with the fam. Oh also, is the screen name “hot4amish” available??? Asking for a friend!

because, lucky you, there must be others with your same kink

Happy rumspringa! LOL

omg. look how little photoshopping I had to do in 2004 to pull off my fake-out.
The trees even still have leaves!

When my 2nd partner (Jim) and I got to CLT, we dressed him up in my courier uniform, and I hid in a box and little brother and his wife had gotten for us. My mom had only seen Jim in my website pictures, so she didn't recognize him at first when he "delivered" the big package to her front porch. Needless to say, after I jumped out of the box, her first words to me were, "did you lie about that accident?!? I was so worried!" LOL

Whatever, Mom. LOL I'm home, and please meet the second love of my life. <3

numbersguy82 · « **Reply #58 on:** April 15, 2023, 08:26:30 am »

Oh my goodness this is sooooooo sweet. You were mischievous for deceiving her, but it was for a great cause! Awww you and your #2 were a good looking couple. RIP.

I am resisting the urge to google "Amish fetish" because lord knows what pandora's box that might open LOL

Me too. I miss all of you. It's been too long.

Hope all is well and staying dry. It's wet here in Ohio today and for the next week or so. Ugh. I hope I don't melt.

Jim Allen · « **Reply #66 on:** April 29, 2023, 05:16:05 am »

I'm looking forward to it, and on the call, I'll tell you about how I accidentally nearly killed myself last week—lots of fun.

OMG, my yard is currently becoming my pool. ugh. it's so soggy and muddy here in SC but I keep telling myself it's all good because I'm sure by the first of June, it'll be hot, humid and heading towards drought conditions like it does every year and I'll have to pay to water the garden daily.

that's great! the euphemisms are hilarious, and the topics all right on point.

As always, I enjoyed our chat. At this point it's really interesting getting to know more about everybody.

It's almost like y'all are real people that I know. ROFLMAO

You didn't think we were real people? LOL I know what you mean and I hear you.

It is great to start to know each other on a deeper level and just to have a good laugh at times after we Google "Amsterdam’s oldest workers". LOL

I was at a farmer's market today and saw an Amish lookalike and could not help but burst out laughing thinking of you.

Thanks Jim. I will see what I can do and let you know.
I’m supposed to go to an event with the kids, but my wife and I are questioning if I should go to big public events before I can get on the antibiotics. My DR has been very quick to act, so I’m thinking she will do it Monday.
If I don’t go out, I’ll definitely join!

kentfrat1783 · « **Reply #77 on:** May 13, 2023, 08:37:22 pm »

I can't believe how fast time has gone by and we're already up to another meeting. But then again, a lot has happened in that time....and a lot of travel. 700 miles of travel for me! (or 1126.54km for those in the rest of the world. LOL)

See y'all Saturday!

Is anyone using an app to join instead of a browser? Going to test the app tonight to see how that works, as someone reported issues with the app.

interesting. i went to check, on my tablet, whether there was an app and found that Google Duo, a video phone/chat app has been upgraded to be Google Meet now.

Even though we chatted about some serious stuff (the world is a mess!) we did laugh a lot. As usual, I enjoyed our chat a bunch. Maybe some day we'll get a few more peeps to join in.
