I ...Blogging is a great way of meeting new friends. I have had the privilege of meeting one friend face to face since blogging. I do think though, that friendships can be more challenging via blogging because not everyone will show their true selves while blogging so there may come a time when you meet someone and although they are nice, you won't have a desire to spend time again with them. I anticipate visiting with more blogging friends but for now, just staying in touch via internet is fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-32739052453735730352009-08-10T18:00:57.799-07:002009-08-10T18:00:57.799-07:00I met you this year!

We have no excuse really to not meet btw...as you do not live more than a hop, skip & a jump up the road from us. LOL As soon as I am back to my feet we have got to meet for lunch! As long as you don't mind that the 'Nolanator' has to come along too. ;)Jesmylukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918161685062319534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-48556879994356544602009-08-08T20:55:56.889-07:002009-08-08T20:55:56.889-07:00It is funny because you absolutely do talk to thes...It is funny because you absolutely do talk to these women everyday.<br />I blog and read everyone's blogs and after awhile I feel like I know everyone. I am happy when children have birthdays, I feel sad when someone is sick or loses a job, these women become real through their blogs and I would love to meet them all!<br />I think it is neat that you have been part of a close internet group for 10 years! That is really something :DCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-24201159766180192162009-08-08T18:37:30.533-07:002009-08-08T18:37:30.533-07:00I haven't met anyone in real life yet but sinc...I haven't met anyone in real life yet but since I'm going to BlogHer next summer and I already know who my roommates are I will be! <br /><br />Honestly, I think you can tell a good egg from a bad egg after a while, don't you?Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-67151113315962061322009-08-08T12:59:31.113-07:002009-08-08T12:59:31.113-07:00I've met 8 blogger friends this year.

I flew up to Indiana to meet another, one from Florida drove up to meet me, I met three at a conference in Chicago, and recently met another in Utah a few weeks ago. Most of them I've met through Pilot Wives Club (which has it easier to meet other wives because we can fly to meet up) Angie, the one I've met most recently has become pretty close in a short time. We both have 9 year old daughters who immediately bonded. We've gotten together 4 times in 2 weeks.<br /><br />I've gone through 4 out of state moves in 4 years. I've been lucky to find new friends through blogging. I made friends with two girls in Detroit before I moved there, and they helped me weed out the job scene, schools, scary/nice areas to live.<br /><br />Also, as a side note, I met my husband online and we're celebrating our 5 year anniversary in October :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741556399764341585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-50861646639522869522009-08-08T12:11:17.502-07:002009-08-08T12:11:17.502-07:00I have made some wonderful friendships thru bloggi...I have made some wonderful friendships thru blogging and became better friends with people I already knew, but didn't really talk to much until Facebook. I truly think that we were given this technology for that reason. <br /><br />I have a dear computer friend that lives in WA. I'm not sure we'll ever meet in this life, but I know we are sisters and will absolutely meet in the next life.<br /><br />I have to admit though, the first time I met some blog friends in real life, I was really really nervous. Kind of like a blind date because I thought what if they don't like me after meeting?tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-1495002123096341052009-08-08T11:05:47.292-07:002009-08-08T11:05:47.292-07:00Gramee, I totally feel that I have met many intern...Gramee, I totally feel that I have met many internet friends who are people I'm sure I would love irl!
