This looks *really* good. I've been thinking about asking if I could join you all, but I'm very busy during the day that day (starting at about 6am), so I'm kind of hesitant.

Silly eh?

edited to add: I'd *love* to join you....can you add me to the list? When I arrive at the restaurant, what do I say to the host/hostess? 7pm right?

Looking forward to it.

I wouldn't miss the chance to see everyone again & meet new (to me) lowcarbers. Thank you Jeany for leaving the link in my journal. My life has been hectic with some illness thrown in for good measure.......those are my excuses for not being on the forum for a few weeks.

See you all on Thursday!

Ruth

Say, has anyone given any thought to a solution to our usual problem "I had a good time but I only got to visit with a couple of people"? Maybe musical chairs?

Maybe we could all switch seats between the main course and dessert?? I don't know - we've got to come up with something! It's a common 'complaint' when groups get together, isn't it? Getting to talk with the people at the other end of the table....

I can hardly wait!!

Oh, BTW, is anybody bringing SO's? Just curious....

Default One option

Hi Everyone:

I like the idea of musical chairs. Here's one option to get the ball rolling for how it could work so that we would move twice. We move after the salad/mussels, and then after the entree. Here's one scheme for how we can move in an orderly fashion. After the salad/mussels, we count off, beginning with Karen as a 1, then the next person on her left is a two. Continute 1, 2ing until everyone has a number. Then the 2's move over to the seat of the second 2 on their left. The process is repeated after the entree.

To facilitate this "power" chatting with everyone, we could all come prepared with a brief answer to the question: " What's the greatest (or funniest, or saddest or most angry-making) thing (or anything else) that's happened to me recently. So we could all get a chance to talk and to listen and I hope, laugh, get to know each other better, and support each other in our low-carbing.

So, think about this option and whether you would want to do it, scrap it, embellish it, or suggestion another option.

Cheers. Ruth Jeanette

Default Pictures?

If it's all right with everyone, I'd like to take pictures of the food and our group, in ones', small groups, large groups. Please let me know if any of you would rather I didn't. I'll edit the pictures and put only the good ones on my website.

Eventually, I'll find the time to review my digital imaging class notes and make us all look 10 years younger. Maybe by the time of our next meet.
