Isn't it great? Now multiply that times 60 and you'll approach what I felt at the convention this weekend. It is something else when people in a group don't just shake hands when they first meet. They hug, and hug tightly. It's like nothing I've ever experienced.

You are not alone.

If you get a chance MEET with a clusterhead face to face. It's amazing how quick you get to know each other (0-10 in 5 secs flat).

Over the years I've had the opportunity to meet over 100 (probably closer to 250-300) and there's never been an awkward moment (a few drunken brawls, but no awkardness). I've never "shaken hands" with a one -- it's always been "hug" time as soon as we meet. The funny thing is - if I'm in a town where I know a clusterhead lives, I'd have no problem showing up for dinner without warning. That's how quick you get to know each other. It's indescribable, but there's a bond upon meeting. Weird but true.

Go back to the archives and read about the "Fearless Five" who met in Rochester NY in July of 99. Not a one of us turned out to be an axe murderer and we all recognized each other on sight (we didn't have pictures on the MB at that time so we were flying solo on that one). Putting faces to names is just something you have to experience.

Welcome Yorky-

Yeppin it is a different experience to talk with/meet a fellow CHer.  The first person with Ch I ever talked to was Drummer way back wen.  It was like talking to my life long friend for the first time.  Neat.  Meeting one is even better. ;;D

Tons of info here and lots of support.    Glad you found us.

-P.

The thing is that it isn't what you expect....it's so much better. Everyone of us seems to know exactly what the other needs. It's unreal meeting 50 people that know exactly what not to say and do when someone gets hit.

Glad to know you and hope to meet you some day.

Charlie

Welcome to the family Yorky...

I promise you that you will never feel out of place with another Clusterhead.. I feel more comfortable around my CH Family than I do some members of my blood family..

Ditto Lady Luv.  Just coming back from my first convention meeting 50 or so other clusterheads, just like ME, was an awesome experience.  They are my family now.  It's indescribable how I feel about these people.  

Welcome to the family, and use every opportunity you get to find and meet another clusterhead.

Oh, and Helen, if I had to follow those directions, I'd be back in Milwaukee!  Sheeesh!  ;;D

I met Don, quite a nice gent Helen, honestly.

He recently came over to my house to get some lobster traps out of the basement. I had to work so I let the old lady know he was gonna be stopping by with a few buddies and he should be able to handle it, all he needed to do is get in the basement, she was cool with that because she knows we talk blah blah blah.

Long story short, I call her about noon time and ask if everything went ok?

She says "ya"
I said "nice guy don't ya think?"
She says "ya, but he didn't seem gay, are you sure he's gay??"

I dropped the phone I laughed so hard  [smiley=laugh.gif]

I totally forgot to tell her we joke around about that dude, it totally caught me off guard, I laughed for days about that.

Just so you know she knows your not now, and she said you were very nice too LOLOLOLOL ;;D ;;D

Sean............................................ ;;D

Dude I would of died if she said "is that your boyfriend with ya" ROTMFFLMMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude she had know idea, I am so sorry [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

Paul if you come along I'll even bring you a birthday cake! It would be great to see you, check the UK thread on the meetings board for any other dates you might be able to make.

Drinks are on Sean - Don must've paid you a FORTUNE to say that!  ;;D
I do agree though that Don isn't the worst.. the worst is that "Chewy" freak without a doubt  ;)
