I don't have words..I know many people have jobs & can't get away.. but there are many who could/should consider. I think many are really afraid of this type of activity. It is so much fun once you get into it. Don't give up yet, maybe you can write another.. passionate & persuasive invite?
I haven't given up on my participation, but I no longer expend much energy on trying to persuade others to come along. I just put the information out there and let folks absorb or ignore it. But at least one person mentioned he had come last Friday because of all the bumping of last week's thread.
This is the kind of thing I would LOVE to do but I'm not anywhere near you. The very best to all who FREEP the creeps.
