We all know people in real-life and we're getting to know people on Minti. Some of us have real-life friends and family that are on Minti already. Some of us are starting to meet other Minti members in real life. When this sort of thing happens, it makes the world a much smaller and friendlier place, both on Minti and in the real world.
We are not always what we appear to be, especially not on-line. Some people feel they need to be more polite on-line, others believe they can be a bit more liberal with what they say than they can get away with in real-life. Some people come across exactly as they really are. How would we ever know? Well, here's your chance to dob each other in! lol
Be it because you already knew each other before you joined Minti, or because you met a member after joining, we want to hear about it. What is it like for you to know that member in reality?
Post a pic of the two of you together and tell us what it is like to know that person, from your perception. If you don't like someone for whatever reason, that is okay, we can't expect everyone to get along after all. If that is the case, just do your best to be nice about it... after all, they will probably come in here and say what they think of you too!!!
For those of you who are reading this, bare in mind that everyone thinks differently of everyone. What one person has to say about someone will probably be very different to what the next person will have to say. Don't take what is written in here as the total truth for this reason. You may meet someone that has been described in here by a dozen different people and get a totally different perception yourself.
Minti is a very friendly and interactive internet site. Many people are forming on-line friendships here, and although this is not the purpose of Minti (after all, it's a parenting site, not a friendship or dating site), people are starting to meet other members and form real-life friendships because of it. Some are intentionally meeting up, others are meeting by sheer luck when they find out the person sitting next to them on the bus is also a member. Either way, it's happening, and hopefully for most it's a good thing.
If you have any intentions of meeting up with another member you have been communicating with on Minti for any reason, it might do you well to read this advice first. After all, you really don't know who you are talking to on-line until after you have met them, and if you aren't careful, that can - sadly - be potentially dangerous. So read the advice carefully and be careful with any meet and greets you make.

This is so long over due. I am sorry it has taken me so very long to get this posted. Overseas, moved house, blah blah blah. Anyway here it is. Although I did blog about it. As did Lorna.
While in AZ I made sure to hook up with Lorna and JB. It took a bit of orchestrating but we did finally meet and we had a really nice time and the boys really got along well.
Sorry the photo is so grainy...on my camera phone. Yes Lorna the photographer didn't take any photos of us...oh well here it is...

Well today I officially met Cassandra (cassaustin). When i say officially - it's because about 3 days before i had bub, we were actually talking to each other up at the shopping centre but we didn't realise who each other was!
Her son Austin is such a little cutie and he's such a funny little boy.
Emily really loved having him to play with....it was so hilarious to watch!
Cass is a wonderful person/ mum and i look forward to getting to know her better and building a friendship.... she's just a burst of energy! |

Today Julie and I got together with the kids at New Farm Park. It was a really good afternoon, and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. Even David my eldest, who is a little anti social with people he doesn't know, actually had a go on the climbing thingy. It was lovely to meet her and her friend Olga.

And about time too! LOL Have seen her twice now and plan to again before too long while I'm in the same city and have the chance. Here's a pic of us (thanks Mony) - how on earth she tolerated having my large preggy butt on her skinny boney lap is beyond me!
I've also met Lui (llmunchkin) briefly on New Yrs eve, and plan to catch up again soon.
Will tell more later when I have more time.
Cheers, DA.

Well we finally got there........for days I meant to ring to organise a time to go out to Janice and Steve's property but being home and relaxing, the time just flew and the next thing I know we've been here for a week and a half. Plus I had no idea about Janice being bitten by a white tailed spider until i was told over the phone by Fi, as I haven't been on the computer very much.......so today I rang Janice and organised to go and meet up.
The photo's of the property don't do it enough justice, yes I know Janice.....it's not as green at the moment but it still so beautiful and peaceful and relaxing. now I know how we all just adore Janice and Steve but they are even more amazing in the flesh. So kind, welcoming (I was even getting my own drinks 10 mins into arriving ) My boys just loved it there and were shy at all....were they Janice? Steve took us for a wander around the property....it's just amazing. He also took the boys for a ride on his tractor which the boys absolutely loved, Luke has a thing for everything having a name and so he asked Steve what the name of his tractor was.....Steve very quickly and cleverly named it "Thomas" which Luke thought was fantastic......he said "yeah Thomas" and jumped up and down with excitement.
We had such a great time and plan to get together next week sometime for Tea which I'm so excited about.
Thank you so much Janice and Steve for making us feel so welcome......the boys had a great time. |
