How many DFW Area DF Members?

How many of you live close to the DFW area? Charlotte (Palefacegirl) and I got together and had a great time. I know there are 2 more of you who live fairly close by (Bill & Mark).

Anyone else around here? We need to plan another meeting -- maybe lunch, for starters. It's another beautiful sunny day today, isn't it!

I know, I look out my window and see rubber trash cans blowing around the street! I've learned not to use the containers on windy days.

There are a couple of others but I haven't heard from them in quite awhile.

I am up for a mini-meet. Let me know when and where.

Jan - I am in the DFW area at Fossil Creek. I would have gotten here sooner but I was dxd in April w/T2 (see how fast I learned the language?) I was primarily looking at some messages from people suffering from Sleep Apnea and Diabetes as I am curious about the relationship. Tks.

Hi all! I started this thread a long time ago . . . just so happens that Charlotte (Paleface) and I are meeting at Northeast Mall today! I'd love to still plan a get-together for as many of us as are interested . . . maybe around Labor Day . . . or even sooner!

Let me know if any of you are interested, and if you have a good idea for location and what to do -- even something other than eating!

Jan,

In theory, I get every other Friday off - this week is an off Friday (we are in a slow period so I may get this one off - yea!).

Sometimes there is too much going on and I don't get the day off but one of my scheduled off Fridays would be my best bet.

Mark

It's been a few years (already!) since I've been to Dallas... but, should I ever be in the area again, I'd love to meet up with y'all.

Ironically, my Dallas trips involved driving with polyurea and polydipsia in full force. Had I known you guys then, I probably could have avoided some unpleasantness later. Heh.

Just saw this on another thread, so thought I'd post here that I'm fairly close to the Dallas area. Nice to know all of you are so close as well.

Welcome.

Yes, Jan and I have gotten together 3 times, we will meet up sometime during the holidays to celebrate my birthday, we just both have to get well first.


We need to work on a get together for more of us sometime soon.

Maybe a link in our sigs to see how many we can get together and we can set something up.

Hey Folks,

my g/f and I will be in the DFW area May 21st to June 5th, seeing friends & family in Denton, Mesquite and Ft. Worth. I will also be driving down to San Antone to show my g/f where I used to live back in the days.

If you guys want to get together for lunch or dinner in that timeframe let me know. I met Harold last year when I was up in the land of Oz seeing some friends with the Wichita Police.

Mike in Munich

Jan, that would be awesome ! I would definitely like to meet other DF members while I'm there. I can PM you my US cell phone number when the time comes closer.

I will stay in the DFW area for 4 or 5 days, then drive down to San Antonio to show my girlfriend where I used to live back in the old days, then go down to Corpus Christi for a couple of days and return to DFW by June 2nd or 3rd.

Looking forward to meeting ya'll !
