@Harm0ny - check your whatsapp! I messaged you!
Oh my gosh like just over two weeks to go ! 😊.
See ya soon @safensecure4u2 👋
@OhioMike cant wait. That’s a handsome pair of guys.
Oh my gosh oh my GOSH!!!!! 😊💛☀️
Some of my favorite men right there!!
Looking forward to the joyful reunions and meeting new people and of course all the shenanigans that are on the horizon. Can’t wait to explore some new territory in Asheville as well. This reminded me of some of the uniqueness about each kind of personality in our cuddle world. IYKYK This sounded a bit like me. 😂

@sillysassy 😆
Yeah exploring Asheville after the hurricane from 2024 will be amazing. Such a beautiful town and area and all that devastation was hard to watch. @safensecure4u2 of course was right there and kept us informed about the flooding and destruction. It’s so sad. 😞. I know they rely on tourism there like a lot of destination towns They have amazing civic pride there and can’t wait to see how things are there now ! Hopefully @safensecure4u2 will give us a tour and insight on what it was like a couple years ago ! So excited to see everyone in just a few weeks 🤗
@OhioMike I completely agree. I was staying in a tree house just a few weeks before all of that happened. Thank good our favorite North Carolinan was SAFE AND SECURE.
Also speaking of favorites… our one and only @safensecure4u2 is going to be our grillmeister for our lunchtime connection. POT LUCK DELICIOUSNESS 🍉🥨🍰🍴🥄🍔 We are providing the main dish of HAMBURGERS including buns and condiments, as well as plasticware, napkins, cups, plates and water.
Plan to bring a side of your preference to share. As it gets closer we will post more info.
(Thank goodness he was a firefighter!! 😂)
@sillysassy if you could grab an impossible or beyond burger for me I'd appreciate it! Happy to pay you back 😄 I'll bring snacks and sodas. I had a lot left over from the Atlanta Meetup!❤️
@CuddleBug02u we had already planned for you on that!
As the unofficial/ not claimed CC site historian 😆… I can assure you @safensecure4u2 earned the very first Cuddle Comfort Food Badge many years ago at the 1st Cuddle Comfort Camp ⛺️!
@OhioMike thank you for looking back through the archives. Lol.
Omgosh. Y’all are making me giggle. 🥹
I can’t believe we are out of the TEENS! It’s happening so so so soon and I can hardly stand it!!
Thank you @CuddleBug02u for the shout out. We will start the list of Pot-Luckery. 🍁🍂🍃
We're working out travel logistics and looking forward to seeing everyone. As a fellow vegetarian, thank you @CuddleBug02u
@SunshineSnugglr thank you for the heads up re food options and I’m so excited for travel plans! (A little birdie told me there might be a road trip involved. I must say that sounds DELIGHTFUL!)
There is so much joy in the horizon and I’m not known for my patience. I’m already packing!!
I took a few moments to go for a hike today. Found some beautiful things in Nature.
@safensecure4u2 - I love the fall finds! Best kind of hike - being present to see the beauty in life simplest things. However I am perplexed with the fuzzy pumpkin!? is that real LOL
@SunshineSnugglr No but someone had left it in the woods for someone to find!
Really ? 😳. Only 10 days to go ?
Awwww I love those fall finds. 🍂🍁🧡
Let us know if we need to update your RSVP so we can get CLOSE on the burger purchase. NO PRESSURE but it’s fun to know.
I found this beautiful leaf by my mailbox!!
Home from Mexico and already can imagine all the big hugs I'll be giving to you all 😍😍😍
This isnt cuddling related so I dont know if this is allowed here, but i know there are dedicated mods to the site and are probably overwhelmed with the influx of messages. I was wondering if there was a volunteer page for those who might be interested in helping out with the modding? I used to admin and mod for discord servers, and think this whole concept of cuddling and safety is such a beautiful idea. I would love to be able to contribute on the side when I don't have sessions to help keep this place a safe and nurturing community.
Or do you also have a forum for any feature suggestions that could make this site more user friendly?
@AuthenticLucy Welcome to the community! 😊
This thread is specifically for the Meet and Greet happening next weekend in Lake Lure, NC.
To your question, you’ll notice at the moment there are four stickied threads (meaning they stay at the top of the page all the time.
One of them speaks to the Mod question. @mark is the site owner and @Gary as Admin. The Forum Rules and your Moderators is an ever changing thread because Volunteer Mods come and go. I’m pretty sure there’s a form in there to nominate someone or yourself.
This last thread talks about “Ways to Improve the Site”. Great place to read through what others thought and also add your suggestions.
https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/discussion/1440/suggestions-for-improving-this-website/p1
Good luck on your Journey and as always “May the Cuddle Gods be EVER in your favor!!!” 🧡🍁🍂
Love the pumpkins @MissAdventurous
@sillysassy oh my goodness! My apologies, I thought i was in the FAQ thread already. I totally apologize for posting that in the wrong thread but I appreciate the redirection♡
@AuthenticLucy no worries at all!
My heart is so ready for mountainous lake views and gorgeous leaf peeping along with beautiful humans and great conversation!! (And plenty-o-shenanigans!) 🍁🍂🧡
So much is happening!!
@sillysassy If you are taking a headcount for hamburger from the RSVP's please do not count me . Thanks and looking forward to meet you all for a first time new experience.
I went to Lake Lure on one of my baseball trips. Off the top of my head, I believe it was in 2020. Had a wonderful day up on Chimney Rock and then hanging at Chimney Rock Brewing. It's so hard to believe that little calm stream took out the whole town during the Hurricane a few years later. I hope the town is doing better. Have a great time everyone!
And wow, I've lost a lot of weight. Look at that old chubby face! LOL
@Finnegan2017 it is rebuilding slowly. But it will still be many years before it becomes back to a norm.
@safensecure4u2 This thread had me looking up the aftermath and the rebuilding efforts. Looks like it will be a long road back, but glad they are on their way. Such great memories of the area. Hope everyone has a great time!
@Nickheck thanks for the info and looking forward to having everyone gather. 😊🍂🍁
It is such a gorgeous area. It is really hard to believe the devastation!!
@safensecure4u2 has some great info about traveling in. Make sure to load it into your map when you have service if you’re using GPS. Cell service gets really spotty after you leave the main area.
There’s no cell service at the actual Lake Lure Village but there is WiFi. We will keep checking the thread but make sure you are aware BEFORE you start the trek 😂
There are quite a few detours and road closures because of the durn hurricane Helene but @safensecure4u2 will let you know if there’s anything that doesn’t match with the maps.
—-EDITED FOR ADDRESS CORRECTION —- The Gate House at Lake Lure Village Resort
178 Village Blvd., Lake Lure, NC 28746
Chimney Rock is the closest town to the Gate House and of course ICE CREAM would be the place I would want to be if I was trying to figure out how to get to the NEXT place 💗
Thank you @sillysassy & @safensecure4u2 for the update, and map/gps info. I’ll make sure to download it before heading over there. Hope to see you all soon!!! 😊 😃
As far as all of the Pot Luckery 💛🧡🍁🍂😊
So far we have some soda, savory snacks, some chocolatey deliciousness, oranges, and baked potatoes to go with the hamburgers and other burgers. 🥳
Bring your appetites and any kind of snacks/sides you would like to share.
(I’m getting hungry already!!)
