I am shy, but there are many members that I consider great friends. I would not be in a corner saying nothing, I would be around hugging and chatting. I expect myLot buddies to be the same in real life, you can "mask" your temper writing, but not when you type comments. There are only a very few members I would avoid.

Same here, there are about three people I might avoid. One because I have seen them being rude to others when it was uncalled for. Another because I think they would probably annoy me, I avoid their discussions here because I don't find them interesting. That person has also blocked a lot of people for no apparent reason. The third person I would just have to see about. Yes, I'd want to go around hugging and talking to people as well, but I am very introverted and would ned to get comfortable in the room. Even so, I'd need to go out of the room for a few minutes to just have some pace and quiet to myself

I have actually wondered about this . . . I was wondering if we'd be better off sitting at gigantic tables with laptops in front of us so we can continue interacting on myLot like we always do - only in person altogether

. I don't like to be verbal, but I can be verbal - depends on the situation. But I would love to meet all the folks I've come to know here - including you - and if we were all there I would HAVE to get in everyone's face because this would probably be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am observant, and I will notice someone that isn't chatting much - and I just might be that person who would go up to that person and make 'em talk

. But I can take a "vibe" . . . if anyone wanted to be alone, I'd get it

. But a one on one coffee (or the like) time would be cool.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Speed myLotting

! That would actually work out well - that way we get a chance to meet everyone (is that how speed dating works?). You must be pretty sensitive to sound . . . although I am a good listener, I don't hear that well - so I guess I can conveniently tune people out

. Perhaps having great grub in the room would help too . . . that might cut down some of the chatter

I like your idea of a couple of long tables. Perhaps it would be fun to do it like a speed dating thing. Taken ten minutes with one person and then move one seat over.Of course the noise level might be an issue, and then my attention would veer to other conversations as well. It would be hard to keep one conversation going when I'd be hearing others chattering around me.

I think it would be nice to have a bit of a memorial service for the lotters we've lost as well. Yes, I'd need a few minutes to myself to "recharge" but I could manage a day of chatting with the lotters. Hearing different accents and different languages as well. I think if we were to meet in person, we should allow people to speak their native tongue to others who can understand it.

I'm sure you'd get along with a lot of 'lotters. I'd introduce myself to a handful of people but I'd be the one in the introverts corner.

@ScribbledAdNauseum They cancelled the postal service yesterday and possible the rest of this week. I don't think those trucks are very warm anyway. It's been about -20 wind chill off and on this week with parts of Michigan getting down to -45 similar to wisconsin and other states. The actual temp this morning at ten was -10 degrees. By Monday it will be 49 degrees and warming up, so at least it won't last much longer. I hope this colder wind chill weather doesn't affect much of Canada every year, but I don't really know about that.

I can be extroverted in the right crowd, but I am much more of an introvert. My best friend and I often joke that she picked me out and said "This weirdo! I like her, we shall be friends!" That's pretty much how it happened though. There would probably be a few mylotters I'd talk to but then I'd need to excuse myself and be alone for a bit before coming back in the room.

There are so many wonderful people on here that I would love to meet in person, you included.

I am a bit on a introvert so it would take me a little while to warm up to people but once I did I would be chatting away and having a good time. So many I already feel like I know even though we have never met. There would be so many great laughs and so many good conversations going on, much the same as we do here. If you walked out of the room, yes I would follow. It would be an opportunity to get to chat with you without all the noise that would be going on inside with everybody mingling.

I can be extroverted, and I might surprise myself and be one of he most social butterflies in the room, but I think I'd still need a few minutes out on a balcony somewhere. Yes, it'd be ncie to have a quiet conversation away from the crowd for a moment or two. I also think this would be an excellent opportunity to sample some foods that our friends here eat all the time. I have talked to a few here who have eat or drank foods from the US but can not get them in their country because of price or availability. I would probably bring them some of those items so that they can take them back to their country or enjoy them while at the gathering.
