I sometimes feel guilty that I am really just a MB presence and not much of one behind the scenes. I have exchanged a few PMs with people, but I mostly just like to post in threads. I'm a very private person by nature and while I like to interact with you all, I am not looking to make lifelong friendships here. I hope you all understand this.
...note to self....cancel the order for the planter....:D

I know it was a joke about the planter, but one of my daughter's is looking for a pattern to crochet a hanging
planter. Your wife or maybe someone else reading this; do you have that pattern to share?

Are you talking about that pink hanging planter? Its macrame. If you google macrame hanging planter, you'll find lots of patterns :)

Good evening.

We post here on the SKMB and it's all good. We post and share. Here.

But, we also PM, give each other our e-mail address and our cell phone numbers. :rolleyes: (Reaching out and giving my cell phone number...that was a BIG one for me.)

We talk here but from our postings...we find a friend. We reach out to each other. We make friendships that allow us to connect on a deeper level. For years! (You have to admit...THAT'S pretty cool. :blues:)

Any way, just wanted to let y'all know... reach out. You don't know where you will find your BFF!

Peace.

I can attest to this. You guys get me in ways that my own family doesn't. Now....who's going to let me move in? :)

Postcard? What postcard?? Did someone say postcard??!!?! :grinning:
...yes'm....we sent postcards to members from our First King Kon in Maine a couple of years ago, then from Mansfield last Summer...and I plan on carrying on the tradition when we head for Colorado in 2016. A majority of us voted to now hold the Kons every other year, though some folk may try to hold a small gathering this year...

I don't reach out much virtually.

I have about 650 Facebook friends, and I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know about 640 of them (exaggeration, but not much). When someone in my profession sends a request, I accept it. Same with LinkedIn. It means little. I recently went to a professional gathering, and several people said, "We're Facebook friends," and it met with the same expression from me as if they'd said, "We knew each other in a former life."

Maybe it's on only child syndrome. It really doesn't occur to me to message people here on SKMB, unless it's to clarify something I said online so they don't get offended by my (in)action, and that doesn't happen often, and likewise I get messaged very few times, which is fine. Humans are what they are, and they socialize as they will, and I have talked to one (1) person personally from the forum, and that's been quite nice, but it didn't make me think that I should talk to others. It just doesn't occur to me.

I've been led to believe that there might be a gathering of SKMB folks in my state in the not-too-distant future. I'm not sure what to think about that, other than I should go (assuming I haven't been kicked off) - but I just don't think I'll live up to expectations. So there's a weird mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
Meeting in real life is so weird but I would not worry about it - you have to look past the appearance and try to see the 'inner person' - hmmm - that sounded kinda deep! (for me at least).
