sissyz....do I drive by your house when I drive into chicago on 88?
Linda C

Yes, Linda C, you do!! Please stop in and say hello!! I live a tiny bit west of the exit for 251!

LOL. Hi Woodie. I meant to say that you were somewhere not too far in Central NJ. Exit 9 ya say? Not too far, especially by Turnpike.. lol.

I started a map on Conversations. We need a few people to 'pin' their locations to see if it works before I start a new thread on the main page directly folks over. Post here if it works or not?

I can't seem to place a pin....what's the trick?

It worked until I went to put the info in and finalize it then it said we already had the maximum 2 pins on the free map. It showed yours and I think it was sissy in Indiana?

Pfffth two pins only for the free service.

Anyone else care to find another website?

jleek, NW CT.

Oh the lovely New Jersey Turnpike...ugh!!

I am somewhere between exit 2 and 3.

Amys boyfriend just told me he is exit 9 too!!

National Park is along the Deleware river south of Philadelphia. The closest-biggest NJ metro area is Deptford.

I am not a fan of the turnpike,,,I perfer I295 where I am exit 23.

Hey, just a thought....as long as I am out of work with time to spare if anyone wants to get together from the Philly, NJ, NY area I will gladly offer up my house!!

Cheers!
Susie

Fairly new to posting on CF, have lurked a lot since my new kitchen was done. I'm from NW Ohio.

Theresa and Nancy I'm still in Eastern NC, outside of Greenville. We moved from OBX about 5 yrs. ago!

I've been out of town and just saw this, but I'm in the So.Cal. contingency - when they let me :) - and I enjoy checking in with the MI contingency (my home state).

Hi Sue! it would be nice to have a VA/MD KF reunion. Let me know if there's ever one in the works.

Ann

Hi Ann. Will do! It has been a long time since the last get-together. That lunch in Tyson's Corner with you was a lot of fun.

Sue

Obxgina - Yeah we are not alone in NC! But where the heck is OBX??

nancy

Does that OBX stand for outer banks?

Yes, it's the Outer Banks. We lived in Manteo on Roanoke Island.

I have a friend that moved to Waves, NC less than a year ago. Sounds like a lovely, yet very windy place.

I would have never guess what OBX was.

I couldn't place my pin where it was supposed to be.

Sometimes I love being a closet nerd LOL

I created a map you can all add to. Created a new thread with instructions.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where everyone is.

I'm in North Central Ohio, west of Cleveland. I couldn't get my pin to work in the map.

I just pulled a loaf of buttermilk whole wheat bread out of the bread machine that is driving me crazy with the smell, but at 10:45pm, it's not a good idea to have a slice!

Tami

As you all know at this point im on Long Island...with Cookingrv,foodsathump and KathleenLI...I dont know anyone else on Long Island but I would gather we'd be the NY/Metro area...and like mentioned would add a bunch more!

"Foodsathump" Would that be our own foodonastump? Thanks for the chuckle Eileen.

I live in deep south Texas on the Coastal Bend. However, I was born in Lafayette (St. E's) and raised in Earl Park, Benton County, Indiana and attended Fowler High, but graduated from Benton Central. I always spend the month of June with my family at Tecumseh Bend on the Tippecanoe River, just east of Lafayette. So I spend a lot of time in Lafayette. Maybe we can get together next June??

Another Linda

Thanks for the map mof2!

After looking at it, if there was a "Southeast pocket" get-together in Birmingham, AL there could be a lot of people who could drive 3-4 hours and be there. From Mobile, NOLA, Knoxville, Atlanta, Nashville.... just a thought.

Another Idahoan here. This is a big state, and I am closer to the Oregon folks than Angela! Not sure where Kate C is located.

I think Dasiyduckworth is closest to me but she's about 4,000km away. Driving to the US (even farther) would be awkward, I'm not sure the i30's up to crossing the Pacific Ocean ;-D

Tricia id'd me correctly, in SE CT. But I'm another whose home state is MI...

mostly lurker here in Maryland.

Colleen, we will all just have to come to you!

Geez, I thought I had posted here. It's time to speak up for Colorado. I'm in Boulder, Dlynn is not too far away and we've met a few times and would love to meet more. I think BlueIris is also in the area.

Lee

Thanks for doing the map, Linda. Here is the link, for anyone who may not have found it on conversations:

Sue, you're right around the corner!

Rob, I can just as easily go to Birmingham as I can Nashville. They are about the same distance from my house.

Beverly

I seemed to have missed this thread while cooking for the hordes over the holiday.

Put me in the California faction. I live outside of Clovis/Fresno in the Central Valley, but I have a DD in the LA area and a DS in Oakland, so I get all over the State. And, I think it would be great fun to get together.

Rob, I could probably make it to Birmingham.

jude

Colleenoz,
If you go to Google Maps and choose Get Directions, from Perth to Los Angeles, it actually does offer a "driving" route. Of course, there are three legs of the trip where you are required to "kayak across the Pacific Ocean!"

Just depends how determined you are to attend a CF meet?!? :)

Ann

Love this forum! I'm in Southern Ontario, about 20 minutes from Buffalo.

I think we should start looking for some crazy billionaire whose foundation would pay for us all to go to a national cooking forum convention.

CC...I'll go for that. Hawaii might be nice....

Cathy...nice to see another Idahoan! I'm about an hour north of Angela.

Would it really matter where we met?LOL

No we can meet anywhere. Paris would be okay wouldn't it?

Be still my heart!!!!

Do we have someone living in Perth? My brother lives in Perth right now. I've been thinking of applying for a passport just so I can go visit him, but doubt I'd be able to afford the tickets. However, maybe I could buy a kayak - that would be cheaper that airplane tickets! lol If I manage it, which I doubt, but if I do, it would be fun to get together with the Aussie group.

Sally

Colleen, speaking of "Daisy" - I haven't seen her post here in a long time. I know she no longer cooks. Do you ever hear from her?

I'm a transplant to a Milwaukee suburb, originally from Chicago, with kids still living in Chicago and N Illinois so I'm there often. I've never met a CFer but I'd love to.

Sherry

I'm in Reno, Nv
Linda

amck and I are in New England specifically NH. I'm in the SE corner right near the MA line. I'm not sure where amck is located.

Sally, I think it might be me you are thinkning of. I don't live IN Perth, but within cooee- a little over an hour away. Do try to come visit your brother, Perth and WA in general are great places. There are lots of good flight deals going on all the time so keep your eye out for one. (And besides a passport you'll need a visa but they're not very expensive and easy to get unless you have a criminal record, ha ha :-). )
I haven't heard from Daisy in ages. I think of her often though and hope she's OK.

I sent Daisy a note to log-on. Hopefully she will.

I got Westelle's note. It's nice to be missed! I'm still alive, but not exactly kicking. I don't call in here lately because I can't cook any more, so I've had to develop other interests to talk about. I'm sorry if some people in here think I've been deliberately avoiding them - it's not the case at all - I just can't multi-task, memory is poor, but I'd love to hear from some of you. I still call in to the Herbs Forum from time to time - just to keep my hand in, so to speak.

Hi Daisy! Nice to hear from you. I always enjoyed your posts. I don't do much cooking, but that doesn't stop me from posting, and it shouldn't stop you either. Be sure to add yourself to the map on the Conversations side.
