Hi there Bubbles...

I'm waving to you from the North Shore where the sun is shining today (albeit, intermittantly) but shining nonetheless!

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of help and inspiration here!

Hi Bubbles,

I'm sure glad you found us. Any chance you can come to Vancouver for our LC Christmas dinner at Karen's on Dec 2?

Nat, you forgot our own remarkable Rachel the moderator. There have been very few sightings of Rachel in the last month, (she's really busy working and we hope she can come out to play soon.) Rachel is a wonderful source of humour, information and support.

Overheard my name and couldn't help but listen in. Hi Ruth! Hi all! Thanks for the kudos.

Yes, Rachel has been busy - and possibly about to be busier - I've just been offered a FOURTH part-time job! But not too busy for the grand Xmas bash! Hope to see y'all there!

Rachel

I haven't been on the board much lately, but there's quite a few Vancouver/BC types here. This is one of the best boards and best groups of people you'll ever find on the internet. An absolutely invaluable resource. Welcome to our little world.

Hi Pinkcaddy,

I think we have many members from Victoria and the island as well as the rest of BC. Welcome aboard

Why don't you islanders do a get together, sort of a low-carb dinner thingy? We do this often in Vancouver (so does our U.K. members). Would be great if we can spread the fever!

Wa'il

I think getting together is a great idea! Who better for help and support than someone who is doing what you are doing? I would love to get together with anyone out there who is interested... just let me know! We can see what we can set up.

Talking details details????

We (Ruthie and I) haven't arranged the details yet, but this would probably be an ideal time to do so....

Both Ruth and I have developed a fondness for affordable Greek food (blame it on those Vancouverites and Stephos restaurant). There are a couple of quite yummy Greek places here in Vic! I'm all for that, I'll just find out which ones are
(a) open on Monday the 10th, and
(b) not booked for some kind of Christmas party....

To do this (Ruth's MUCH better at it but she ain't here), I'll need a headcount, soooooooo:
Anybody Who Wants To Join Us for Dinner on the 10th, Around 6? Sign Up Here! by replying to this thread.... I'll get any reservation information like minimum table size or whatever this week.

Way Cool.
