I just met Mindy for the first time ever!! What a great talk we had, and I was having so much fun just relaxing and talking like we knew each other for years, I didn't even notice how late I was making her to go back to work! 
Turns out I was in the city for a bit and we totally just met up and had the nicest conversation! Can I just say, Min is *gorgeous* and completely the same as she is on the boards: kind, attentive, bright, and very knowledgable! The time just flew by and I could have easily sat there for a couple hours and not even noticed! 
Guys, I cannot stress enough how great it is meeting a board member in person. It's so uplifting and reaffirming having a real live friend who knows you and is going through the same pressures/burdens/small pleasures you have! Imagine how great it is knowing there are all of us here on the site rooting for you, and then magnify it! It gives me such a great feeling when I meet you guys. And it's so good to put a face with a name! 
So we talked about figuring out when we first had IBS, the support of our significant others, the burden of scheduling around potential attacks, and the number of pills we take a day, all sorts of stuff. We even talked a little at the end about heading to Baltimore on Memorial day weekend to visit with Amie, who'll be visiting from Michigan! I hope it works out, because it'd be so nice to have another outing soon! 
Min, thanks for meeting up with me today on such short notice, and it was SO NICE to meet you. Take care!!
