Max's Sappy Recap of NEST

[tickleshotel]

Max, sappy it may be, but it expresses my feelings as well. The feeling of belonging is very strong at NEST. I look around the room and think, these people all love tickling as much as I do. How often in life can one say that? Not nearly often enough. That's why to me, NEST is like a family reunion....with benefits! 🙂

Drew,that is why those that have attended Nest in the past are missed when they are not in attendance,and those that can make it come back year after year and there are newbies too It's a big family that keeps on growing and instead of being baptized into family traditionally,the family welcomes all by tickling

Oh, and Max and Jan, I nearly forgot.....

LOLOLOLOL.... I nearly fell off that barstool when you all came down with the bunny ears on! I brought home about 6 of them.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about... I was sitting at the check-in counter on Sunday with Max and Mike. Suddenly a bunch of folks ran upstairs. I'm wondering what the heck is going on. Then as quickly as everyone disappeared they all reappeared each wearing bunny ears! Now... you would have had to be at last years event to know what this all means and we're not going to detail it for you. But just imagine grown folks running around with Bunny ears. That in itself was hysterical!

And my new "stuffed" bunny is enjoying her life in our living room next to some of my other stuffed critters! When I figured out where to put her two of the bears chimed in to welcome her (They really did... They talk!) She looks so cute in her Hula Costume and the lei. Thank you for the Bunny - Ray and Tracy! LOL

I think I've finally put my finger (no pun intended) on what this feeling I have reminds me of. Much the same way I felt as a child, when I would count the days until Christmas, day by day by day. Then would come the big day, always better than I had imagined!! Unfortunately it would only take a day or two before it finally occurred to me that I was starting it all over again.. with 36x days!

That is EXACTLY how I feel after leaving NEST, but of course I didn't have to wait a few days to come to that realization. I was already missing everyone before we even got to breakfast Monday morning!

To take the analogy one step further, the "gifts" I received were seeing old friends again as well as making new friends, new memories, and having new experiences. If a few of those memories / experiences happened to involve giggling, and a little poking here or there, all that much better! 😛 And this is truly a case (at least for me) of it being better to give than to receive. LOL

I am not going to start naming names or anything, as I don't feel this is necessarily the thread for it, and also because I KNOW I will forget to mention someone I would never mean to forget. I will mention my wonderful husband, Ray, who I will blame entirely for getting me involved in this community. Thank God!! I had such a wonderful time, as I knew I would!! Thanks so much to all of you who made it that way, from those who worked so hard to organize the events, those who we played with (although our play this year was pretty informal), and those who we had the opportunity to socialize with. I look forward to seeing you all again next year! Who knows, maybe sooner! (at least for some of you)

For those who we've met in the past at NEST who were not able to be there this year, you were missed and here's hoping for next year!!

Maybe we should come up with a NEST "advent" calender? Hmmm.. (wondering what kind of goodies would be behind the little doorways) 😉

Geez, I wasn't even there to share in this wonderous love-fest last weekend, but y'all have me in tears anyway from just reading your sentiments. That's probably due to the fact that even though I've not have the pleasure of attending an infamous NEST event yet, I have still both attended and hosted gatherings, and I know that family bond and pure emotional and physical fullfillment that's to be had at one of these events. It's an addiction...a love bug that infects every fiber of your being and results unbelievable levels of uphoria racing through your veins. If there is heaven on earth, it's to be found at a tickling gathering....I swear it.

I'm so pleased you all had such a fantastic weekend. Thank you for sharing your experiences online here with us all, so that we may embrace that warm cuddly happiness....if even only through your words and memories.

I've GOT to get myself to a NEST some day soon. If not, I'm gonna shrivel up and turn into a troll.

What's that you say? I'm too late?? *peers into mirror*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Mimi 😉

Ya know, Mimi.... The best part is that this is something that everyone in the community can enjoy having with one another. Even if we don't all have the luxury of getting to meet in person, we can form true bonds of frinedship here. We can also connect with others in our area. It doesn't have to be anything formal at all.

We met Ray & Tracy (the Venrays) for dinner at a restaurant for the first time after having chatted online for some time. After a couple dinners out to feel one another out, we started getting together in the home to hang out, BS, etc. They're now among our best friends....in or out of the community.

All you have to do is give it a chance. I encourage everyone to get to really know those you're gabing with on here (and in other forums/groups). That's what makes something like NEST work....people getting to know and genuinely care about one another.

Trixie- on the way back from NEST Max Loralee and I were discussing our plans for a perfect tickle Utopia... even down to what material the all season outdoor bondage equiptment would be made of. And we'd all be squeezed in next to each other for breakfast every morning! Sound like Heaven???

Awwww... sweetie. I miss you so much. I wish you could have "ler'ed" me at NEST! But I have to admit you used some serious skills on Ed.

 

[LeeAllure]

Trixie, you're wonderful, no matter which mode you're in,
and I had a fabulous time hanging out with you in both
lounges, and at the club, and ... I want to make sure we
devise a way to securely attach Ed down so that he
really can't move 😉

LEE! I miss you lots too! I adored my backrub in your room and then equally adored my torture afterwards. You are a supremely special girl whose personality is so rare... I feel lucky to know you.

It's a good thing that we both like road trips!
(and tickling, of course) It makes it a lot easier
to get together - Of course, you're welcome to
say what you like, when I'm tickling you, but
you know in the long run it doesn't matter one
bit 😉

One of the very reasons I love you so much. And yes, road trips are awesome. Michigan isn't that far away when I have something really really good I'm heading out for.

[LeeAllure]

I'm SURE there would be volunteers! C'mon kids...?

 

[TMF Jeff]

I'll drive but you all have to promise to sing songs when you aren't torturing each other...

memememe....we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

[ticklkitten]

omise to sing songs when you aren't torturing each other...

Ok, but I'm not thinking you'll hear much more music than laughter coming from us three

 

[Mimi]

That, or they'll all sing Disney and ABBA tunes until Jeff himself pulls the car over, climbs in the back seat, and tortures all three of them single handedly.

Hmmm....3-1 odds? Hope YOU'RE not ticklish, Senor Heff. 😉

[ViperGTS]

Did someone say roadtrip?

Oh lord, Ed...

You ARE a masochist!

And Viper, not being ticklish doesn't bother me 🙂
