Guest littlebirdie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nope. I live in a weird spot of the country at least an hour away from any bagos and I hate driving anywhere unfamiliar by myself because I have a terrible sense of direction and get lost at the drop of a hat.

lcoxwell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would absolutely LOVE to attend a bago, but so far, all the ones I have seen have been far, far away from where I live. I am thinking about trying to set one up sometime this Summer for Southern CA, if there is enough interest. There is a strong likelihood that I will also be moving this Summer (heading closer to my New Guy), so I have to get that worked out, before I plan anything.

Chopperette Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 When I was in Brooklyn in Sept., we had lunch with people from the board and others from a local meet up that weren't on the board. It was a very nice experience. I would love to do it in the future if I get to travel to the USA again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I attended many, many bagos in the first few years. Many were local or within a few hours, several were plane-flights away. Every one was valuable to me, but especially my first one, when I drove 3 hours and spent the whole weekend at a bed and breakfast with ladies I had only chatted with on the board. I remember I told NO ONE what I was doing and where I was going, because I was sure my family would think I had lost my mind. What a healing weekend! I was about 7 months out, but had only been on the board a month and a half. I am still friends with most of those ladies, and have gotten together with them at bagos many times since, and don't consider them my widda friends anymore... They are just really truly friends.

RobFTC Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I hosted two successful and larger-than-expected Colorado bagos, in 2012 and 2014 (2013 was an oops). This year, I am not sure anything will happen because prior interest seems to have evaporated. I have drifted from the board some this past year, but I was still surprised to get so little response on ywbb. Oh well. Take care, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIK3 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm 7-? years out. My 1st bago was 7 years ago. Anyone who's recently widowed, I highly recommend attending a bago. This is where you'll find mutual understanding and support. The hardest part about your first bago is going back home and realizing there are actually people with whom you've been able to openly share how you feel; now you're returning home to hard reality. It's not like a therapy session; it's real people who also desire contact with others who get what this new reality feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get the chance to go to one, but so far everything I've seen has been far away from me and I just don't have the money to travel/fly To be sure I'm not the only widow in Eastern NC lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, Rob T Don't give up Rob, maybe it should be an every other year thing. I so wanted to come last year, but just couldn't manage it. This year I am blowing ALL my vacation time on one trip. But next year, I would definitely love to make my way out to the happiest place in the US! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Rob, I'm from CO-- well, lived there as a child (Westminster, Four Corners) and moved back for grad school (Go Buffs!). I'd love to do a CO bago, but I can't manage it this year. Don't give up, I want to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangomom Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would travel to CO! I have friends outside of Denver and I always told my husband that if we moved again I would want it to be there. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedmensa Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I would attend a Bago in Cali or Colo. I lived in the Denver area for many years and return as often as I can...I still have family there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I see we have a What's a bago answer. There are other posts on this thread forum describing them now. If you still have questions, make a new post oo send a message. the best way to make a bago is to make your own post with your area in the title. It helps find people take a leap, pick a date and place. If that one doesn't work, try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest look2thesky Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes, more Bagos (what a silly word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smabify Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 no bagos for me. Us southern ontarians can't seem to get it together to do a bago, unless it's the organized group one that costs hundreds of dollars that people like me can't afford. Oh well, virtual world will do for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Don't give up Smabify. I'm more than likely in. I organized one a year ago and due to F'en Ontario weather I was the only one that couldn't go. I broke my heart to not be there with my Mafia Wids (we even gave us a name lol).
