  • This sounds so fun!

  • There have been lots of fun times in the past for sure!!

    For those wondering what gloriousness we are referring to.... @babichev was the start of it all!! https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/discussion/12855/st-louis-mo-area-meet-greet-saturday-may-14-2022/p1

  • Omgosh…. 😂😂😂 @lovingspoonfull that pic is adorable. I will do my best to capture said snuggle pic with any willing participants!!! Are those Lemurs?

    While down there…. Any chance some of you could recreate this picture and post it? That would be fun. 😎

    This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that even though we are “in the wild” CONSENT IS STILL KEY!!
    Make sure to ask permission to snap a photo before you take it and ALSO clarify if it’s ok to post on the threads or not.

  • I'm not sure what the beverage/food situation looks like but I can bring a couple coolers.

    For sure water but if there are any preferences I can stock up with some different varieties, let me know!

  • Can’t wait to connect with everyone! 🙏🏾🎉🙏🏾🎉

  • @sillysassy absolutely. Consent is key.

    But it would be funnier if one of you looked as absolutely grumpy as possible in it. 😇

    Believe those are meerkats. Fascinating little creatures.

  • Hahahahaha

    Omgosh. Meerkats! Yes.

    Every day I am thinking of more and more fun things to do! Does anyone local have a great coffee house recommendation? I saw a place down by the Ferris Wheel called MOD coffee house. MMMMMMMMMM COFFFEEEEE ❤️❤️❤️

    Beach Safety Checklist

    1. Rip Current Awareness:
    • Watch "Rip Current Safety for Kids" videos on Ocean Today (noaa.gov).
    • Learn how to "Break the Grip of the Rip" from Ocean Today's tips.
    1. Fire Safety:
    • Properly extinguish fires with water. Use at least two 5-gallon buckets of water to drown hot coals. Fill in fire holes with sand and drown them with water.
    1. Sand Hole Safety:
    • Fill in any holes or trenches created in the sand to prevent accidents, especially at night when vehicles might drive on the beach.
    1. Dune Awareness:
    • Avoid dunes due to potential risks like poisonous snakes. Texas protects these areas with hefty fines for trespassing.
    1. Traffic Awareness:
    • Treat the beach like a roadway; watch out for moving vehicles. Explain to children the potential risks and ensure they stay safe.
    1. Pallet Burning Warning:
    • Avoid burning pallets due to nails left behind after they burn down, posing a risk to people, especially children and pets.
    1. Life Jacket Safety:
    • Ensure kids wear life jackets; they significantly increase safety in water.
    1. Sitting on Vehicles Awareness:
    • Avoid dangling feet from trucks or golf carts to prevent injuries from sand hazards like sticks, glass, or debris.
    1. Leash Your Pets:
    • Keep animals on a leash to prevent them from running away or causing harm due to new stimuli overload.
    1. Walking Technique:
    • As you stroll through the water, keep your toes nestled in the sand and gently slide your foot forward instead of lifting it off the ground. This technique maintains constant contact with the sand, reducing the risk of stepping on a stingray. If a stingray is nudged by your foot, they usually move away. However, stepping on one might prompt them to defensively swing their barbed tail. This walking method is often known as the "Stingray Shuffle" among surf fishermen.

  • For those who haven’t been to Galveston before, here’s a shot of Pleasure Pier that I snapped a few years ago after dark!

  • This sounds fun!
    I’m interested:) I will be traveling from Dallas. Do message me for car pull - ride!

  • @TeddyBear4u2024

    I'm not sure what the beverage/food situation looks like but I can bring a couple coolers. For sure water but if there are any preferences I can stock up with some different varieties, let me know!

    Hey thanks for this!! Water is a great idea. I’ll start a list of things that are being contributed.

    Attendees… please bring specific needs for yourself and whatever items you would like to share…. (Since it’s a mid afternoon meet there aren’t going to be traditional meal type plans.)

    We will probably pack some fruit, and trail mix type snacks to share. 😊

    We’ve also got some games like Jenga, Quirkle, & cards so far. Any additions are welcome!!

  • I unfortunately can't attend since my drill dates for the Navy Reserves were moved to that weekend. I really wanted to see y'all and meet fellow cuddle buddies. I'm hoping to see y'all in the future at another Meet and Greet event.

  • I am planning on bringing 2 coolers and will have plain bottled water and sparkling for sure like LaCroix or similar

  • 🎉🎉🎉Greetings my beautiful cuddle peeps! 🤗 In 10 days we’ll be lounged up on the beach! Bring your beach towels and yoga mats because I’ll be facilitating a guided hypnocuddle on the beach from 3-4 for those who’d like to participate. It’s truly a wonderful experience and you’ll be partnered up with whomever you choose. Let’s just hope it’s not too windy!!! 🎉🎉🎉 If you have any questions, post them here and either myself, @sillysassy or @msmoon will answer. See you soon!

  • @TeddyBear4u2024 Thank you so much for bringing that 🙏

    @POETIC_TRUTHS Ohmygosh ! 10 days ! The forecast looks absolutely beautiful for that weekend. High 70s and sunny ☀️! So thankful you are letting us be a part of this ! 😊

  • @OhioMike Omgosh! I’m grateful to have you! Many hands make light work! 💡

  • [Deleted User]mariacoss39 (deleted user)

    Definitely interested. Is there a RSVP to this event?

  • @mariacoss39 no I just wanted a headcount. It’s out on the beach so plenty of open space. I hope you can make it! The weather looks great coming up! 🎉

  • @mariacoss39 seriously though, I peeped your page…you look half your age! So naturally beautiful and youthful! 🤗

  • edited April 2025

    Is there anyone looking to share a hotel room? I think I'll probably just get a cheap Airbnb, but wanted to see if there were any other alternatives.

  • Omg 😍 I would love to join! Add it to my calendar!

  • I had no idea this was going on until now or else I would have planned a trip for this. Are there going to be more meet up events like this?

  • @SalVitale33 There are always meet and greets happening; you’ll find them pop up in the forums. So no worries! Just keep a lookout. ✨

  • @foreverforlove That’s awesome! We’d love to have you! 😘

  • @SalVitale33 here’s a great resource. You can look back at all the different events and ALSO see all the people interested in attending/hosting a Meet & Greet!! We haven’t had anything in Idaho yet so that might be a great thing to start some chatter about. 😊

    @everyone attending the GALVESTON SHENANIGANS

    I am so excited that now I can say “See you NEXT WEEK!!” (I wish I had a magic wand that would help pack & organize… but alas… I do NOT! Living & traveling with snow but headed to sand and sunshine)


  • All I need is this sunscreen, and chair, and tent, and cooler...

    Feel free to laugh when you see me hauling stuff from the vehicle like I'm. Moving in.

  • I hear you @TeddyBear4u2024 😆😆😆

  • I'm going to wish all y'all well! Even though I had changed my travel plans in order to attend this Galveston Meet & Greet, now, I simply cannot attend after all.
    Have extra Fun 🤩 for those who, for whatever reason, can't make it and yet really wish they could!
    InJoy & stay safe out there!

  • I wish I could attend, but I'm out of town until the 15th. Life is so cruel... Will there be other meetings or groups?
