Where abouts are you stuck?

I was sooo happy to find this thread :) I lived in NC/SC for a short time. I really loved the Asheville/Greenville areas... Once my youngest is done with high school we are planning to move to the Asheville area. I wasnt ready to leave there yet. Theres SO much to see and do :) All the national and state parks...the lovely tiny little mountain towns....the bbq....and yes....boiled peanuts! Bojangles is much missed by us all..... I cant wait to come back....hopefully for good! :) Thanks for bumping the thread y'all ;)

Hey all.. I'm going to be moving back to the Charlotte area next week. Is there anyone still active in that area? Would love to maybe get together sometime.. If not, just letting folks know that I'm coming home soon :)

OK, will be touching down in Charlotte, NC September 4th at 9am.. lol.. One of the first things I'm going to do when I get to my parent's place is take a nap and then head to an AA meeting, lol. Any other sober folks on this thread? I'm kinda scared leaving my recovery family here in San Diego.. I will gain more brothers and sisters in NC but would like to know that I have some "family" in that family too.. lol

I'm also looking forward to Fall.. I haven't had a Fall in 5 years, lol

Anywho.. Hope to see this thread livin' up.. I'm down for setting up some get togethers and BBQ's if anyone is game.. Let me know :)

Hello.. OK, I have been despretly seeking SOME kind of queer community around here and I am coming up with notta as far as butch/femme/trans goes.. or maybe I am just scaring people away? I feel like I'm totally in the closet again.. Passing as a guy, which is fine.. But I soooo want to just be able to relax with some butch/trans/TG/queer brothers/sisters.. Or maybe some femmes too? I just miss the FTM community back in SD and have been trying to get onto the tarheel transmen list but have not been able to? *big sigh*

I don't like being in the closet.. It's lonely :(

lol..

Hope that all are well and enjoying Fall.. even though it feels like summer still to me.. hmmm

ps: sorry about the whining tone.. but it's true.. lol

Nc community
 

Hi ya tender, yes seems the community here in NC is elusive! I do believe there are some folks down your way but here in Durham nada

I had heard that Greensboro has a strong gay community. I'm not sure where you are in correlation to there. I lived near Jacksonville out east then moved to Greenville SC (which has no community) and is close to Ashevile which is a wonderful open minded place...which I hope to return to in the near future :)

Hi Hon... have you looked into the Charlotte Gender Alliance?

I just joined the e-list. thanks for the info :) Just goes to show that you can't get help unless you ask for it, lol

Thank you to all those that have contacted me on and off the thread :)

I am wondering, would anyone be interested in a get together? My folks have about an acre of land and a nice big deck.. Maybe we could plan something along the lines of a camp out/cook out sometime before it gets too cold?

Just a thought :)

-Tony

I WISH.... :( We won't be back down there till the spring.... sighhh

awww.. well, maybe we could do something in the spring too?

That would be fantabulous! Anyone care to camp in Pisgah?? Lots to do out that way......and I know the BEST BBQ spot...

Hey everyone! I live in the Hickory area but will hopefully be moving to charlotte in the next year, just waiting on a new job-more money and more of a lbgt community! I'm alway down for camping or even better hiking

Just checking in :) Hope that everyone is having a great month so far.. It's nice being with my family here again, but I am still aching for some community! lol.. I am enjoying the weather too.. 60's are nice for December :)

Dixie dear, when we do move down there, I will be looking you up! I do love bingo... :)

Missing NC a lot today. The weather up here in New England is depressing me...I want to hike!!

Seems we will be up here a bit longer. Especially if I DO get accepted to nursing school. But after that's done we are gone baby gone! :) I really want to live in or near Black Mountain. I love Asheville, but I am a country girl at heart... <3

Cool deal will do! :) We were considering Knoxville for a possible move also. Teddy loves that they have no state tax...and when starting a business, as he's contemplating, that can be a pretty good deal! :)

Will be in Charlotte (spelling?) Sunday-Wednesday. Any suggestions on things to do???

Ive also been to that botanical garden. It IS lovely, but I went there in April. Not sure what's blooming this time of year? I would suggest a side trip to Gatlinburg and the Smokies while you are there :) Lovely area...G'burg is heaps o' fun! Asheville is also nice and not very far. Get you some BBQ and boiled peanuts while you are there! :)

I wish!!!!!!!!!!!! :( COME VISIT! lol

:( :( :( :(

Botanical Garden sounds great and so does local food!!!

check out discovery place (http://www.discoveryplace.org/)

and eat at merts (http://mertscharlotte.com/)

OMG, I am so excited to have finally found this song! It was part of a PSA way back in 1977 and I fell in love with it! It's where I got the phrase for my location.

Hope all the NC folks enjoy it as much as me!

anyone care to meet up in my general vicinity? I am here in Cashiers til January due to job...then back down to Florida. Would love to meet some of you for siteseeing, dinner, fishing...laughs and chats. give me a holler if you care to get together and meet a new friend.

Anyone here (((((Hello)))))
 

Is anyone here? just droping in the say hello

Hello, hello.. im still here in Monroe, lol. Hope everyone had a great 4th :)

Yes.....I believe I would! Oh wait....I already have ;)

Hiya
 

How about Dinner ??
 

Hello,
Blade, Cinnamon, Kenna, Mis Scarlett, and waving to TenderKnight in Monroe.

Jelli I believee we may have met before. Was it Augusta or Greenville that you were in? I am in Raleigh now, but moving to Camden SC. I am retiring from state gov work, computer geek stuff. There is going to be time for me to travel and socialize now. I will gladly buy dinner for anyone that wants to meet another BFP member in person.


Stay Safe everybody
:blink:

well geewizwillywonkers ...I just moved from Raleigh in April for a more southern county and a much needed break from state gov- policy geek stuff- to work on my health. ...We might be able to work something out. Thanks for the invite. Since you'll be able to travel, I highly recommend Granddad's Apple Orchard in Hendersonville...maybe Dixie could show you around Ashville?
