Hi, as Donna mentioned there will be a September lunch on Sunday September 16th at NOON at the Sierra Grill, in the parking lot of the Bayview Village mall, on the North East corner of Bayview and Sheppard. Please respond to this post by Sept 11 if you would like to join us. Thanks.

Tables of 12 sound great - hope they are prepared for lots of laughter and noise - I will be there at 12 and let's hope for no accidents on the 401 or 115. (I was 2.5 hrs late in August due to the 401 being closed).

I am just a noisy nelly, I am really looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday!

Not nosey at all! I'm coming in from Peterborough - I love to drive and this is a great excuse to meet some really wonderful people! My last trip I had Lori along and we ran into some trouble on the 401 - it made for a long trip, but Lori and I talked non-stop - not bad for two people who met in the parking lot. Unfortunately, I think Lori has to work steady weekends, so I'm on my own right now.

Guys, I cant believe this. My dad had some eye surgery on Thurs. and is now spending the weekend with me. So, I cannot make the luncheon. Damn !

I will hopefully try for the next one! Have a great time everyone!

ROSE, that is a bummer! We'll miss you...

I personnally was looking forward to meeting you in the FLESH

Hi everyone attending today's lunch at Sierra Grill. They called me to say they are putting us in the largest room with 4 tables of 6. I hope that is okay for all. See you at noon sharp please.

lunch is over and it was a great turn-out. It was so great to meet everyone. Hope to see you again in another couple of months - Take care all

Dear Sue, Peter, Laurie, Lori, Nancy,Donna, Lisa, Andreea and everybody else who attended today.( I really do have menopause brain when it comes to names)

WHAT A HOOT! I had such fun, I am only sorry that I couldn't stay longer and mingle with you all... Next time, I'll drive myself and stay til the sweet ending.

DH was prompt picking me up and then we dashed off to the airport to take DD to terminal. She works M-Th in N. Carolina but home on the weekends.

It was so great to be able to tie in a morning visit with her and lunch with you guys...

DH ate my leftovers from lunch after he ate the dinner that I made tonight, curried chicken thighs & Veg. over basmati rice. Good thing he does an Hour on the rowing machine daily or else He'd need a lap band by next year.

Special thanks to the organizers!!!

Hi everyone

My daughter and I had a blast. She said you were all such a lovely bunch and that I need to get out more. Sweet kid. I am already looking forward to October lunch. See you then. xo D

I just wanted to say it was great to meet everyone yesterday. I'm so glad I came out to hear all the stories before my big banding day this Thursday. Everybody looked so happy!

I believe we are all happy with the band. Better days are ahead for all of us. I'll be thinking of you on Thursday.

Ooops! I thought I had posted my appreciation of the event yesterday right after I came home but now I don't see it. I must have hit the wrong button or something.... Anyhow, I want to say that I had tons of fun. It really was great to meet fellow banded folk and fun to meet the faces behind the cyber-names. :biggrin1:

A very big thank you, Donna D, for arranging this for us. I sure am looking forward to the next meeting of the banded ones. :Banane20: Be sure to bring your daughter, Donna D. She is a lovely person.

Lianna, you will be part of the clan and on mushies, I guess, by the time the next luncheon takes place. Good luck on your operation day. I hope that you will have very little gas. (Remember you can walk it off, eh. I forgot and spent the first 3 days in bed enjoying the lovely drugs instead. A dumb move on my part. I went through a lot of Gas-X! :omg: )

I also want to say thank you to my new friend who gave me very valuable advice on acid reflux. :Banane20:

And a huge appreciation goes to my friend, Lisa in TO. She gives me lifts to these affairs. We two are the city folk and I have never learned how to drive. :phanvan

I am so sorry I missed out...I really wanted to meet all of you lovely people but I ended up in Simcoe (got lost) yesterday. I will surely be at the next one!!!

Oh ! Sounds like everyone had such a nice time !!! I was so sad to miss it!

My father finally went home today. He had cataract surgery on Thurs., but ended up staying here because he is 82 and needed help. Of all weekends !:cry Is there any news (I know it is early), when the next one is, I missed meeting a few of you, I hope we can all meet !!

Best wishes to all, Rose

P.S. My ticker wont work, but I've now lost 22 pounds since Aug. 4th !!:whoo:

Hello,

I loved meeting everyone on Sunday, and I am already looking forward to next month.

Lianna - I wish you good luck on Thursday, and we'll be thinking of you.

Rose - Congratulation on the weight loss. Keep it up.

Hello everyone:

Finally got the chance to go online. It was a pleasure to meet you all and looking forward to the next one. A big thank you to all the organizers.
