(I hope to God that i never have to be a refugee from a natural disaster or War!)

Besides i'm going to wait until i know everyone a bit better again before i decide if i'm goign to any gatherings or not. I know before i sure wanted to! There are some awesome peopel on this board... and best of all... You're animal people!!! I actually have somethign in common that i can talk about for hours.

I've gone to a few gatherings of an online hobby site i go to, but it's not one i can talk about for even an hour. Luckily not everyone is as obsessed about it as others and we can talk about other things. A few of them have their own pets, but not all. At least S.O. now knows that online people are not all insane and that i'm not crazy for wanting to go to gatherings. The last one he had fun at; I think he'd be more open to going to a Pet Talk gathering anyhow. He at least likes animals, where as he could care less about my other hobby.

So no on the expo, but it's a possibility i'll go to a future one if it's in MI. Further in the future i may even go out of state.
I believe this is an annual event. Well, I know that Mom and I went last year, anyway.

Maybe next year you can drop by.
