I just got to meet up with a lot of my CC heroes and talk face to face with them for a couple of hours.
@Lizzie God, Lizzie is reliable, what you see is what you get. She is just one of the nicest people you would ever come across, Lizzie never shows a bad face! everything in the world has an upside to Lizzie.
@Quincy has a head of hair that I am truly jealous of, and not only that, he has the jockeys hat that Lester Piggott won the 1990 mile riding a nag called 'Royal Academy'!
@Stephanie Steph is proud of her bump in the road of life! But she showed it off to great effect. Steph are you sure that's for real, or have a few too many 'Big Macs' passed your lips over the past year or two????
@Cathie19 . Cathie, that hair of yours is going to fall out and you will end up like me if you don't stop fiddling around with it. Great to see Garry put in a cameo performance!
@Ann72, Hey, you are as out there as those properties of yours up there in Maine. You're a big voice in a big city....we need a heap more like you, what a great addition to the get together!
@Clara116 Clara, as lovely as your garden is, I think it needs the services of a lateral thinker like myself to turn it into that piece of heaven you crave....it was great to see it Clara in that walk-around you gave. Lovely also, to see a moving face at last!
@Roberta2 You are not just a pretty face, you had some great things to say....the platform is the better for hosts like you!
@Lawrene0 Canada is a big part of the earth and it needs a big presence, I wanted you to throw that hair of yours back, leave that eco toilet behind and throw a massive verbal bomb into the conversation....I know you are capable of it!
@Jessica-and-Henry0, Jess, it just doesn't sound right a broad American accent coming from a lovely refined Korean lady. I think you need to drag Henry into these sessions to put things back in perspective!
@Gordon0 .....Gordon, mate, we are all big talkers....but just between you and me, most of them are women and that is what women do . You have to speak up, keep on talking over others to get those great points of yours across.
@Christine615, Hey, you were a late arriver, but bloody hell, you made up for it when you joined the party. Everyone loves a party girl and you gave it your best.....good on you mate!
@John.....@Kim....@Sandra, I can't bring up your avatars but you were so good, particularly Sandra with those 4,127 hats you have made, I cannot conceive of a cupboard large enough to accommodate that sort of collection......just joking!
It was great to see John in his London marathon training taking us not just through his house but half of the east end of London, and Kim....... I wish I had come across you in NY. You are a good egg, mate....even if your attempt at a hat on this special occasion was lousy!.
Sorry if I have missed anyone else out, once it gets to 8.30 pm the wine tends to dull my senses a bit, but I can't tell you how good it was to see you all face to face. We are a great community, let's hope we survive our current issues and come out the other side still, not just as acquaintances, but as friends!
Great night, thank you to all of you and thanks to Lizzie for arranging it, can't wait for the next!
Cheers......Rob
Wow @Jessica-and-Henry0 , Jessica, looks like you have a few neighbors and the first step outside could be biggy, no sleepwalking! JR
From a lighthearted perspective, my hair @Robin4 is just fine!
With my hairdresser closing her doors across this isolation period, it’s nice to be able to continue to support her as a sole trader. The home kit of “my” colour was home delivered Saturday morning by my lovely young hairdresser. Included some biscuits: 👉🏼 just add coffee! ☕
Grey gone again for the next month, but the hair will continue to grow.....
Hi Guys, can I please make a comment for future Zoom catch-ups?
All of those guys there the other night I know really well from their involvement here on the CC, but their faces meant nothing to me because they hadn't actually posted anything on the CC that would accurately identify them. Three of the participants I could not relate to....because, I didn't know who they were.
I know....stupidity comes with old age!!! But seriously can I make a suggestion.
When coming onto the video hook-up and the various screens begin to display, you will notice in the top right of your Zoom screen three blue dots. Hitting those dots accesses a drop down box and one of the items in that box is 'Rename'
Can I ask those participating to rename themselves to include their avatar ....
Rob Shannon @Robin4 ....Elizabeth Hipkins @Lizzie ......or simply your first name as in John @Melodie-And-John0 .
I love Johns comments here but on the link-up, I had no idea of the connection.
If all contributors could do that, I, and possibly a few others, would be eternally grateful!
Cheers......Rob
I can remind you of your numbers... I know them ALL by heart haha!
I did that on another chat today Steph, In a chat with daughter Sarah over the weekend I discovered I could rename myself. So, I did that in todays chat, I just renamed myself to include the avatar I go by on that site and it worked a treat, everyone else then followed suit and did the same. All of a sudden the pieces of the jigsaw fell into place. We all recognised each other!
Just a thought!
Hey, can you see a point where we will start to put across ideas Steph, I was sort of half expecting to get to a serious point in the meetup and I wanted to be prepared this time so I typed up my thoughts and stuck the sheet to the bottom of the screen so that I could be seen as something slightly more competent than Donald Trump this time around ......sort of a tele-prompter, or are we keeping these meetings more as a social get together?
Cheers......Rob
Hey @Robin4 , thank you for your kind words! Really can not remember what I said to impresss, but once we are allowed out and about again, I will come over to try one or 2 of your wines!!!! Stay safe, see you on the other side!
Hiya!
New meetup post is up for your perusal! https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/COVID-19-Discussions/NEW-Community-Center-Social-Online-Meetup-F...
Thanks
