    Has it really been that long? Crazy! I'm out of town 10/19-22 and am playing in a musical at my full-time college which will take most of my Saturdays this month, but seeing everyone would do me good :)

    Hello!

    Hope everyone is doing well. Yes, lets plan to get together. Sat or Sun is good for me. Would a late afternoon time maybe work for a change?

    We could make it our own kind of happy hour get together. :)

    Yikes, I brought it up and only just now looked in again. LOL For the most part, I'm open for either day and time. Perhaps if we wait for the Election to be over, then MondaysChild can join too.

    Whether late afternoon would work or not would really depend on the day and what time is considered late afternoon. I have something at 5 every Sunday.

    My gosh, Tampa people. How do you stand to wear compression sleeves? I've been visiting your fair city for a conference and I don't see how you do it!

    Hi ksusan,

    Truth be told, I don't. I really cant wear mine as I should because I haven't found one that doesn't make my arm so hot it swells more using it. I'm ok if I'm indoors, but outside...cant do it.

    Hope youre enjoying FL. This weekend the weather is beautiful!

    Much nicer than back home, where I was greeted with cold rain. Tampa was lovely.

    ksusan - glad you enjoyed Tampa, and yes, we have a lot of non-compliant sleeve wearers here! Bless those who have to wrap, I don't know how they do it!

    Ladies of the Tampa thread - we need a get together! What do you all think about the first Saturday in Nov - the 5th? The following weekend is out for me, I will be having surgery (yes, again...) on the 9th, although if that date works for everyone else you should get together then and I might still be able to come, depending on how I am feeling. The other date is the 19th, I think anything after that starts getting into holiday territory. Give me your thoughts.

    nbnotes and Lee7 - the Cheesecake Factory has been good to us, and it is a convenient location for everyone - bonus - there is shopping, so if that works for all it works for me! As soon as I hear from a few more I will move this to the header and make us a reservation.

    Lee7 - I would definitely be interested. The first two weekends of February are really busy for me but the other two could be good.

    My Feb weekends are all good except for the first one - have out of town SILs. Do we have any thoughts about a location? Do we want to do a home lunch or restaurant
