Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Debby, What if we just have a specific time and place for the people from the list to meet. Like 6:00 (before dinner) In the hallway back past Dr. H's table, etc. that way we all get together and mingle for a while before the dinner and festivities start. (Or during the pool party have a sign up for all the list people to come over at 3:00 to mingle and meet! (although by Sat. afternoon it is half over!) anyhow, just a thought!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Great Ideas everyone..Also, remember that each family had a list of all the families who attend in their folder. One way I kept finding people was asking the front desk to patch me through to their rooms and leaving messages on their voice mails. I love the idea of a bulletin board/message center. Hope you are all well.. Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Dear Jodi, I am sorry that you have come to a tough place in the road, but I know that you will make a decision based on all of the right reasons and what you KNOW to be best for . I just have one piece of advice for you. And or course, we all know that free advice is often worth exactly what you pay for it :}. Dr. H has done miraculous things for . We have talked before about the fact that was barely surviving before Dr. H and is now thriving, comparitively. So, my feeling is that you have got to trust her now. She certainly knows more about this than anyone else and she has 's best interests at heart and she has been very successful with him so far. Of course, the idea of trusting doctors now to do surgery when they have done such an awful job of diagnosing what to you was an obvious problem is hard. But what alternative do we have to trusting them. They are all we have. All we can do is do our homework, make the best decisions we can with all of the information we can gather and then try to find some peace with those decisions. The most important thing you have to always remind yourself about decisions made in the past is that you did the best you could with the information you had available to you at that time. You and will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Conny > Great Ideas everyone..Also, remember that each family had a list of > all the families who attend in their folder.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I made a list of listserve identities and wrote names beside them but I didn't find it very helpful. I kept it in my pocket but I found 2 of the names on it!!I wrote fairiegirl98 with a black sharpie on my ribbon but don't know if it was helpful since there were so many I didn't get to meet. I like the idea of a " listserve gathering " ! Mimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Debby! There were two folders. First, the official MAGIC registration folder. THen, on Friday morning, we distributed the RSS folders at the Dr. Harbison/STanhope talks. I have a feeling that some people may not have picked up the custom RSS folders? Each folder included: 1. List of all attendees, with names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. 2. Library list 3. RSS and SGA pamphlets 4. Order form for articles 5. A summary of major research on Growth Hormone use data from medical studies I'll see if we had leftover folders that MAGIC can send out to parents who did not get one.

The RSS adults only got a list of the other adults, not any of the families with RSS kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I wish that the ID badges had peoples' listserve IDs on them. I know it's probably not practical since the badges are probably made en masse for EVERYONE, not just people who are on a listserve. But not everyone could get a green ribbon (or see one at far distance) and I know that, for me anyway, I knew several people only by their online logon name, not necessarily their first or last name and sometimes not even necessarily by their kids' name (ie several Jodi's, s, s, s, etc <G>). -Sharon- Just an RSS kid who grew up > Debby, > What if we just have a specific time and place for the people from > the list to meet.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I also agree that it would be beneficial and very helpful if there could be a designated time during the convention for all the people on the listserve to get together. Don't most people come in on Thursday? I think we had some " free " time that day, like before the exhibitors had their thing. Maybe we could do it that day, so that we have Friday and Saturday to be able to talk a little more to each other. I was disappointed that I didn't get to meet any more people than I did. And, if any of you are like me, the shyness doesn't help much! ) Well, as I am sitting here thinking (SCARY), not everyone would arrive early enough to do that. Maybe we could do it later that evening. That way, it would give people time to arrive and get to their rooms. But, where could we all meet? Could we get one of the ballrooms?? Maybe we could order PIZZA in! Hee, hee. Jodi R. > > Debby, > > What if we just have a specific time and place for the people from > > the list to meet.
