Good Evening Keri,

Glad your *talk* with your son went well and yes it is going to be a busy month for me. I am open to meeting up in May, once this semester is finished. After this semester, I will have three classes left before I can start the nursing program. I have to have my TEAS test taking before May, so I can enter the nursing program. I'm going to need a vacation, hehe.

Have a wonderful night,

Zimmy

Hey everyone

Looks like this thread as died down. I am a newbie to BFP so I thought I would see if I could get this one going again.

I am in Jax and there is little community here. Where are all the FL folks at?

We're in JAX, a few more Floridians are around here too!

North Pinellas County checking in...

All but next to Kat here.

We're representing. :cheer:

Newbie here who is in Fla. also
 

Hello Everyone:
I am new to this site....thanks to another wonderful lady here who tuned me in to this site!!! <wink>
I am in Jax. Yes there is a huge community here...haven't ventured out in it yet....prefer meeting folks one on one....<smile>.
Have a great week everyone. Hi MM, Zimmy, & Keri!!!! CLAY

Hey Clay,

Nice to see you over here too!
I just have niot found the huge community here that you referred. I know a few folks, but really just have not seen anything else other than the bars. I guess I need to talk to you to find the community!! LOL And I have been her for 20 years!

MM

:| I've yet to find this big community here in JAX, it's not like Columbus so I'm adjusting, A LOT more gay men that I see than women.

hey MM
 

Good morning there MM:
How are you doing? Good to see you as well. Yea, we need to get together sometime...I will share with you..at least the community I know. They do a LOT! Pride planning is underway now...I am not sure when it is. There was a dance this past weekend...another one is coming up in November I believe the lady told me. In June is a huge art show that is all women artists...and is in its 13th year. Have one of our two mutual friends here give you my email addy or cell number...OR you can PM me and I will give it to you.
I have actually just begun to venture out but have been aware of this social circle for about 6 months. It is a really nice venue and some incredible women.
Hope things are going good for you, Mick....take care....have a wonderful day. It is nice and sunny with mild breeze here today....perfect!!! Later my friend...Clay

Hey Clay,

Doing well here. Just finished getting the new step on the Jeep for momma. She can now get in without hurting too much.

Yeah, I know about pride. I have a booth there every year as well as Gainesville, St Pete this year and Orlando this year. But, I know of nothing else. Also, years ago when I did hit the clubs, I found the women to be very anti trans. I stopped going for many reasons, but that was indeed one of them. Again, this was 20 years ago.

PM me your email address. I think you have or are planning to meet with a good friend of mine for the other site. I know she is looking for community too, although I think she is more active than I am as I care for my mom.

Beautiful day indeed! Hope you are well.

Mick

Hey Lady

Yes, now I do know a lot of gay men... ok well a lot for me, 3 LOL. I just do not know anyone anymore!

Erm Mick what's your booth? I will be at St Pete, probably Orlando maybe Gainesville as well. I won't be working a booth maybe.

I don't either I'm new to the area, weatherboi is a JAX resident so here we are!!

I'm loving the beach time though!!

I think the booth number is 325 but the name of my company is Tortuga-Trading Co. www.tortuga-trading.com

I am not sure if I will be there or not, but i have a couple of girls that work for me.

I have not gotten the booth numbers for G'Ville, Jax or Orlando yet. But, come see us in St Pete!

Well maybe we all need to do coffee of something one day. It is hard for me to go to far with caring for mom. I have to stay ear my house if I leave her. But, I am game for a quick meet and greet anywhere near me. I am near Avondale in Murray Hill.

Hey Mick et al:
I am in Jax, too!!!!! Waving hand high in air!!!! lol...Clay

Noob
 

Hey! I'm a noob from Fort Lauderdale *waves* :D

Howdy Oboe. I am up near St Pete Clearwater on west coast. I believe there are some down near Miami. A seemingly lot of people from JAX.

Hey there, Wolf! I love it up there in Clearwater though have not been in a little bit. I know there's got to be others of us from down here.

Also in Jax
 

Nice to meet ya Pink. Is always nice to see new people about.

Good morning Florida folks!!! Meet & Greet sounds like fun!

Morning Singulars esp in Fla!!!!
 

...Hey there from the Panhandle...
 

Well looks like we have enough folks who want to make a go of it. Maybe we should figure out a date and time?

Hey Clay

LOL I guess flexible is a good thing

Yeah, has to be here in Jax for me. I care for my mom and cannot leave her alone for too long and if I bring her with, it can't be that far of a drive.

I was thinking like Panera on 17 one morning or maybe Crispers or the Wing place one afternoon.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Queer Friendly Ideas....

Kickbacks

European Street

Moon River Pizza

Mick, your Mom would be confortable as well at these places:)

Hey Lady

Good suggestions!

Yeah mom is cool anywhere. She went to the Rainbow House dinner the the other night.

E Street is cool, so is Moon River. I guess we need to figure out what days work best for folks. I am like Clay, fairly flexible on days, the earlier the better for me though.

What about everyone else? Preferences? Days? Times?

Mick

Well I'm not one for mid afternoon HOT meetings I'm delicate:)

Good Morning!!!!

meet up
 

OK Clay, if we can ever get it all figured out LOL, I think that monkeys have a better chance of talking LMAO but I am hopeful we can all get it together and do a meet and greet.

Lady, yeah I am not good with the heat either.... just too damn hot in the afternoons!

Anyone else have any ideas?

Hope everyone is well~!
Mick

Good morning Florida Folks! Happy Monday! Just thought I'd drop in and say "Hi" We are hard folks to gather together, so I thought I'd just tell you a little about myself, and maybe we can just do the "getting to know each other better" here at the planet.

The center of the state is my home, (83 miles each way to an ocean beach) about 30 miles south of Orlando. I have four grown kids and one grandchild. Two of the kids still live at home. My youngest son has taken his time, one might say, getting through High School, but is finally on track to graduate this year.

My grandson lives right next door so I pretty much get to see him every day. He is so adorable. He is 15 months old. He has the greatest personality, and he just goes nuts when Granny comes over (how can you not love that?)

I love politics, real estate, traveling, and hanging out with friends. I am not a "church" person at all, but just recently started attending a "open and affirming" UCC Church in Lakeland so I could make some new friends. It used to be an MCC church and is pretty much all queerfolk. The people are very friendly and give some great hugs. A group goes out to lunch every Sunday after the service which gives us all achance to talk. This week pretty much everyone went. So far I am really enjoying it.

Smooches,
Keri
