Meetup ideas for Dr. Phil's forum members

Taylor Johnson37 said:The botanical garden closes early, sometimes around 4 PM or even sooner.

They stay open until 7 PM on Saturdays.

Can we push that back a bit? I'm tied up until 3:30 or maybe 4. 😢

We’re kicking things off at 3:30. I’ve got my hotspot ready to go, so if anyone wants to catch up later, just shoot me a text. We'll stay posted! I'm really hoping we can hang out for at least an hour and a half—though honestly, who knows? Once we actually get together and find our groove, we might just keep the party going way longer.

I don't hang out here much, but I'm down to join you guys this Saturday 🙂

I can only imagine how intense that first day at the local state hospital was for you. Being thrown into a group of thirty people and being told to introduce yourself—who you are, what happened, why you're there—is just overwhelming. Especially when you’re feeling lost and don't even have the answers yet :-).

I totally get where you're coming from. I've been through it all—from Kukuljević's to the psych ward in Cleveland, then over to Des Moines, and eventually ending up at Vrapče.

I've seen just about everything. ☕

Looks like we're in for a beautiful Saturday—sunny or maybe a little partly cloudy, hovering right around 77 degrees. Absolutely gorgeous weather.

Let's get

So, how are we all going to recognize one another in this crowd?

Just upload some profile pictures to a PDF—it'll be super helpful! Seriously, I mean it!

Well, let's just meet up by the main code monument on Main, and we can even drop a note about which section we'll be hanging out in.

Don't be so shy—I definitely have that streak in me too, but... honestly, just push through it with everything you've got, just like I did

If I end up staying at the hospital, you guys are all more than welcome to come swing by the Mayo Clinic for a visit together. 😂

Sure thing, the meetup is happening! We’ll be hanging out by the monument at the Main plaza from about 3:30 until 4:00, and then we're heading over toward the Botanical Gardens.

Looks like I’m going to have to sit this one out—something unexpected just popped up on my end. 😢 Have a blast without me 🙂

So, how did it go???

It was such a blast! There were four of us out there, but we didn't quite make it over to the Botanical Garden before time ran out, so we just grabbed coffee nearby instead.

Maybe we can get the group together again in about two weeks? Send over your ideas!

Personally, July 10th or maybe the 11th would work perfectly for me 🙂

Well, maybe even Friday, July 11th? Why not? Fridays always feel a bit more laid back anyway, plus most people have already headed out on their summer vacations by then.

I would be more than happy to get together sometime toward the end of July... I'm around for a bit now, and then I'll be heading out to the coast for a week or two. 😳 ☕

Let's all head over to Brooklyn.

We'll just be sitting around some bench... honestly, nobody's even going to look our way.🤣
