Any North Central Florida women out there?
Hey there you guys! Anyone in North Central Florida? There's a Tampa group -- and I hope to get down there -- but it's a trek for me right now (with two small kids). I'm a little lonely for a meet-up...my closest friends on BCO are all so far away. Hoping you're out there!
((((HUGS))))

Hey Fephna!
So glad to hear from you. Where is Brevard? Looking forward to getting in touch.
Hugs right back! {{{FEPHNA}}}

Hi bobogirl! Easiest way to describe Brevard county...where Kennedy Space Center is. Even tho that's more northern Brevard. The group meets way more south. Around what area are you?
-
Hey Bobogirl. I live in Fernandina Fl which is north of Jacksonville. What area are you from?
-
Hey melmcbee! That's about two hours away from me. I hope we're getting a little North Central FL group together!
-
I am in Melbourne in Brevard. Would love to connect with others in this area!

Maggie, I am 43 too! I am hoping for a rowdy fun lunch, aren't you?
-
Hi melmcbee another fl sister
Bobogirl and Maggie I'm 41. It stinks we have to go thru this so young! But Maggie I'm in Palm Bay so pretty close. -
ohhhh! Fephna...palm bay how awesome....we are really close...I live in Valkaria exactly
the rowdy girls! Let's meet soonMaggie
-
Oooh! Obviously I can be rowdy with women of all ages, but I am particularly thrilled, Fephna and Maggie. I just picked up this book -- short essays written by survivors -- and the women weren't anything like me. Age is only one factor. And one of my best bc friends is 60 -- I love her so much. But it will be great to see you guys!
I am in Gainesville. How far is that from you guys?
Getting excited...
-
you are just about 3 hours from me bobogirl

Mel, you don't look 80 at all in your avatar picture! You look beautiful.
What is this, the 43-year-old bad girls' club?!

Hi Maggie, yes we are very close!! I'm in SE Palm Bay. Who knows you might just be down the road from me lol

How's all the rowdy fl gals doing? -
Appointment with BS today -- getting results from MRI, since they wouldn't give them to me same-day. MX looking possible... -
bobogirl,, you are in Gainesville? So am I !!
-
Man, too bad this thread wasn't active before I moved out of state last year. I was born and raised in Ocala. Got my degree at UF in Gainesville.
-
Darn! I just found it myself. -
I'm in Orlando, any of you still around?
I also would like to meet other BCO friends!

There is still the Tampa group, they had a lunch meet last month. I'm near Clearwater, not really north central Fl Orlando is 2 hours from me on 4.
-
I'm in Gainesville. It's nice that Tampa has an active group. -
I didn't go, Bobo drove down for it, then stayed overnight.
-
Hi everyone, I just saw this thread. I'm in Orlando, anyone close to me?
-
Hi home mom. I can't decide how many are in your area. I'm not exactly close, LOL!
Why not start a Central Fl meet up thread, see if you get any response? Then plan a lunch and shopping day in Mount Dora? Cute town!
-
Thanks Spookiesmom. I did see one where a woman tried to start one for Orlando and no one responded. I posted to the thread to see if anyone does! Mount Dora is great! My son was married there 18 months ago.
-
I saw that thread and you! Maybe try your own, her title was, well, um.........LOL
-
LOL yeah
-
Are you familiar with Plant City? That's about 1/2 way between us, maybe we could meet for coffee or lunch?
