Marjan, we did the first one on Aug 11th but it went so well that attendees said they definitely want another one. So I'm going to try to do them monthly, next one being in September.
Just stay subscribed and you'll receive notification of the next one.
Hi Leslie, I'm not purposely excluding anyone. I had to do it at a time that works best for me as I work during the week and have family commitments on weekends as well. So no, I couldn't go earlier. We all have lives outside of Substack! 😊
I appreciate your support here and will probably do another one if this first one is successful so I will take all time zones into better consideration.
Count me in too as aspiring fake badass unless 73 is too old for the 50+ youngsters gathering😹 In my defense, I am still a dreamer though often now an exhausted one😹
I feel like I'm late to the party here but I was thinking today is their any such thing as an adults orphanage (but then I thought is that what a housing co-op is?)because I think that's where I need to go both my parents have passed (so no spare rooms). I'm middle aged, recently divorced, my kids are young adults, and I've just re-entered college.😬 heathenroth@gmail.com
Heather I just laughed out loud at an orphanage for adults! It just sounds funny but I think that's totally legit lol. Many of us will be all that's left once our parents are gone. My only child predeceased me so after my mom, it'll just be me and my old lady friends 😁
I've got your email on the list and I'll reach out soon!
I'm sorry to hear of your child passing. It is something I would not wish upon my worst enemy (I don't really believe in enemies). Thank you for your writing and.. well, for being you. 💜
You are so my people and I so loved your article. Isn’t it funny how we come across people when we least expect it who are speaking our language? Social media sucks, old skool is cool. You made my day. Keep on rocking. I’m weesmurf8 at the g mail dot com
Yes! I think I can make some time next week for another chat. The next few weeks will be a bit chaotic since I'm moving but I always have time for you m'lady.
Kristi, you're a pioneer! I've been collecting "The Starbucks Boys" for twenty years. We all congregate at 9am, finish by 10:45 and solve innumerable world problems. "Officially" thirteen in the group (at least that's what the thread says), but sometimes more and usually less. The youngest is 65, oldest 83, and any one of us would respond to the other at 2am if they needed help. The group keeps us all young!
I love the idea of this “gathering”, thanks so much for including me! Are you decided on a zoom call for sure? Maybe consider a Facebook group to start with? People can show up when they want and you can still go live when you want. Just an idea, looking forward to whatever you decide.
Hey Kimi, it'll be Zoom. I'm not really on Facebook and I don't have time to manage something ongoing unless it can pay my salary 🤣 I just want to try this out first and see what happens.
I only read this just now. Did a zoom meeting happen already? If so, will it again? I'd like in. marjanvenema@gmail.com

Love this!
Why are you excluding us in the Uk? Seriously 10pm on a Sunday? You could go earlier. Such a shame as I love your ethos

Thanks Heather. ❤️
We all have to move forward, sometimes I get an extra boost from invisible angel wings 😊

Noted! I'll try not to make you hate it 😁
Oh, I doubt we'll be talking about anything related to my (heavy sigh) day job, so ... I'm sure it will be good. 👍🏻😉

That's so awesome, Bob. I love that your group has been ongoing. Sounds like so much fun!
327 views on your post yesterday - way to go kiddo!
Ha! I love when someone calls me “kiddo” as a 51 year old 😂 Keeps me young lol.
You are! Maybe like me, you're 30 years old in a 68 year old body - the tapes play in your brain, but your body can no longer do it!

Totally understand, keep me posted!
