    Ha! I remember I dragged Adam to meet people I met online on a gambling forum and he thought I was insane also. It was a small SF meet at Foxwoods, within driving distance and he was ok with that.
    CPT, Chrissy dee, nyphoenix, nhmagic, SME, they were the first people we met and we had a great time, and the rest is history! We now have great friends thanks to the random online searches years ago about slots, lol!
    Love this thread Clemi! Great to reflect back!

    Yes! And we took a break from Vics and Anthonys to smoke a cigarette. I knew right away their was a friendship. After the group dinner at Carmines, going to Borgata and playing VP with you and Chris. You kept hitting quad queens. I had to go back to GN because I was broke and thats when I hit my royal. Memories, good stuff. And for you to meet me at Graton when I went to visit my son in Petaluma for lunch was very special to me. That's when I first heard of what was to be Austin. Told you Grands change your life for the better!

    OMG, I'm sure I can't even put into words the great memories I have of this. I think I was reading and posting on SF for a good year before we started planning the first meet and I had to convince Bob that I hadn't completely lost my mind to want to go to Vegas and meet these people in person. nhmajik and I had chatted quite a bit, and we arranged to buy tickets near each other to see Bill Engvall out there. The very first people I saw at the designated meeting spot were Gene and Sharon, and then nhmajik came along with Steve and I felt like I had known her forever. We ended up going to see Bill (I think we had second row seats) and we laughed like crazy. We met Ting, Treyster, and Dragonslayer. I remember writing in my TR how, much to everyone's surprise, that you really could meet great people online. The rest is history. My only regret is that I have not been able to convince one person I know or have met in my "regular life," to join us or to even be able to explain how much fun it is to hang with all of you. I guess most people have to find their own way to the best group of Jokers on the planet.

    I recall now that Treyster helped me find jokers. I was lost without knowing anything. He said, psst. The fun people are over here.

    It really is special this community and lifelong friendships we have made. I cherish you guys and now, most of my gambling trips are planned around M&Gs! I wish I could attend more, but lately the dates around the big meets haven’t worked out for me. But retirement isn’t too far off and maybe then I’ll even make it to AC!

    Oh my, trying to remember the year I was going to attend the first SF M&G. I believe it was in September, maybe 2012/13? I had paid and my husband said I could go on my own and he would stay back at the casino, he too thought I was out of my mind. Jen came in from CA, she had Lucky Linda with her. A bunch of people met at the Metro in Borgata on a Saturday night. The next day was the M&G, I was so sick on Sat. but I managed to drag myself to the Metro, I wanted to meet Jen so bad and I ate soup, talked a little and went back to my room. I was so sick I couldn’t attend the M&G. I was in urgent care the next day with a 103 fever and the flu!

    Come to think if it, this may have been my 2nd M&G year! I think my first was on the boat in AC, were we all still with SMF back then? Oh, I can’t keep this all straight anymore. All I know is that I cherish all of my slot/casino loving friends. It makes me feel good to know there are people out there like me who don’t think I’m insane or ready to put me in a 12 step program and who would have thought how close so many of us from all over our beautiful Country have come to be.

    We have shared good times, sad times, triumphs, we are a very special group and I’m happy I started googling how to win on slots, who knew what it was going to lead me to

    If I wanted a time out, I would go back to kindergarten.

    Having experienced meeting people and making friends on that other site about cruising I (we) weren't afraid to meet strangers who share a hobby. I found SF and enjoyed following and only occasionally posting. So many people brought so much laughter to me each morning. Jester Pete immediately comes to mind. I wasn't able to attend any of their M&G's but enjoyed following the TR's. BUT then something happened, all the fun people seemed to disappear. I looked far and wide and finally found a mention of Jokers on Diane's blog. I don't remember our first M&G but Bill and I had no doubts it would be fun. Words aren't my specialty but know that the Joker's site and the M&G's bring a lot of joy into my life. Be it laughing or crying, celebrating life and hopefully slot wins I am always excited to wake up and read today's news.

    And as a side note, on that other site about cruising the people are just as much fun. The group designed it's own ship with a Captain and crew (worldwide). My title is "The Official Lurker".
    That thread has been going on for over 15 years. We had a M&G in early 2000 here in Chicago for crew members from the US and Canada. Some US cruisers have traveled abroad to meet up, many have cruised together. But this past Sunday before Thanksgiving The Captain (from Germany) and The Bartender (from the UK) and his wife and sister were here in the US to meet up and we enjoyed having a M&G of about 20 right here in Tinley Park. To be able to meet people from around the world that you share your life with on a daily basis is so exciting.

    So meeting people on the internet in my mind is great. There is safety in numbers, even when the numbers are crazy (fun)!
