the 1st swap I went to ... was in Massachusetts.. I brought my honey's mom with me.. and it was very odd.. and I am bad with names.. doesn't help even with the tags .. remember a face forever.. names.. never.. but that was 4 years ago maybe.. and been to 3 swaps since.. so we are all good friends now!!!.. funny how the online relationships grew after meeting in person .. like a big family now.. just having a normal yearly gathering .. and I can say at the past few.. there was not one person I was uncomfortable with.. not so much the 1st one out.. I had to bite my Jersey tongue a few times at that one.. and walk away.. one nasty that kept pushing my buttons
I almost didn't want to go to the next one because of that person.. and I am glad I went anyway and ignore that one .. bonds grew a lot that trip
