So, that is what I think on the subject. Who really cares about conference attendance? Unimportant in the grand scheme of things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-79019545279740140812012-05-09T19:37:16.599-04:002012-05-09T19:37:16.599-04:00Feeling much the same, Midge.

There are many ways to "be" in this world, and your way is absolutely fine. Period. End stop. Personally, I'm a bit of a hermit and introvert so this seems normal to me. I always read your blog posts, so keep them coming - nuggets of gold!Celia Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096301290962083820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-11026383401901458582012-05-09T13:29:48.527-04:002012-05-09T13:29:48.527-04:00It's fun to read the new blogs, but the oldies...It's fun to read the new blogs, but the oldies are the goodies in my opinion. I haven't been to many conferences either (two!) but I don't let it stop me from doing what I love.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-34540572783815830382012-05-09T13:18:41.738-04:002012-05-09T13:18:41.738-04:00I'm not going to stop blogging as yet but I ha...I'm not going to stop blogging as yet but I have stopped speaking or doing as much traveling as I thought I'd be doing at this point.<br /><br />People need new people to follow and read about. We have amazing genealogical opportunities ahead with the communication tools we have now.<br /><br />It is just something to think about.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words and your comments.Midge Frazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817669854967092840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-33376817137904490102012-05-09T12:19:17.172-04:002012-05-09T12:19:17.172-04:00I'm new to this community, but I know I would ...I'm new to this community, but I know I would miss you. It's the experienced veterans that I look to for friendship, mentoring and strong advice, and at this point, I don't attend conferences either. All I have is online. Best of luck to you, no matter what, we'll miss you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088409491178996382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-74846931003663730212012-05-09T12:04:14.185-04:002012-05-09T12:04:14.185-04:00DISagree!

You don't have to go to Conferences or join in other Social stuff to still be vital and interesting and needed.<br /><br />I do know what you mean though. I often feel like I'm getting left in the cold because I can't go to the Conferences for physical and financial reasons. (Flying from a Canadian airport is horrendously expensive). <br /><br />There seems to be an "in-crowd" which consists of those who attend the Conferences. And this is understandable, after all they're meeting each other in person! But it does tend to leave those of us who can't attend or don't choose to attend, feeling like the wallflower at the dance.<br /><br />But I think you just keep on keeping on :-) I know I'd miss you if you dropped out of sight!Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-60445725759832593402012-05-09T11:39:29.053-04:002012-05-09T11:39:29.053-04:00Pfft, Midge!
