Anyone here?

[Aniganatis]

I currently live in Virginia and this place is pretty empty. Didn't even know my town existed until I moved here from Ny. Anyone here?

[Mermaid Photine]

I live North of you. My very rural town finally got a chain grocery store a few years back, though I miss the old food mart.
:D

Your image is awesome, by the way. It sort of reminds me of Sally from Nightmare before Christmas for some reason.

[Aniganatis]

Thanks ^_^ Is it just us two?

[Mermaid Photine]

I guess so. Goodness, I haven't checked this thread in a while.

[Spindrift]

I'm in Maryland/DC often. Going to college in NY.

[ShyMer]

Hi there- I'm in WV near Martinsburg but am in Frederick on the weekends. Wondering if anyone's close by.

[Mermaid Saphira]

I live near baltimore and I only know of two other people who come close by often (Spindrift being one of them)

[ShyMer]

Ah very nice. I'm glad I'm not completely alone here <3

[Mermaid Photine]

I live fairly near Baltimore. More out in the rural areas of this region. :)

[Mermaid Saphira]

Thank goodness I'm not completely alone :)

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

I live in SouthEastern Pennsylvania, which I think might be covered by this pod, thanks to the proximity to the Jersey Shore and the beaches of Delaware and Maryland.

Greetings and welcome:)

Hi!
I'm from the area....
Not much of a good swimmer though >>;
I have a fear of going under water.....
When I was little, I couldt swim at all.... so whenever my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the pool, I'd jump up and down and yell yes, but I always gave her a heart attack cuz I never want to get out of the water no matter what xD

Im planning to get over my fear this summer :)
any tips for holding breath and stuff....?

[Mermaid Photine]

Start really slow. If you are afraid, start in the shallow end and just put your face in and blow bubbles. (It's really fun!) Go with a buddy who swims well and have them show you their tricks. Start out swimming underwater where you can easily stand up and have your head above water. Try putting your head under at the 3 ft section or even just the bathtub to get used to the feeling, and to learn the best way to keep water out of your nose. Find a cheap pair of goggles that fit your face fairly well so you can see/not get chlorine in your eyes. Good luck!

I'm north of Baltimore, but I grew up in South/Central PA and I go to school in Philly. So I'm kinda all over this area, haha.

[ShyMer]

Nice :)

[Mermaid Photine]

I'm afraid to put my head underwater for reasons unknown. I thought I was the only one.....

If anyone's ever in Virginia Beach, let me know! I'm working on my first tail now. It's just a fabric tail, but I'm super excited!

[Mermaid Kuruyami]

Hey, are there any mermaids in the Richmond area? or am i all by my lonesome? V.V

[ShyMer]

Aww, you're three hours away from me :(

[Krasberrymuffin]

I live up in northern Virginia.

[Krasberrymuffin]

Northern Virginia/ DC area!

[en0ush]

VA Beach/Norfolk area~

[Mermaid Annariea]

i never knew there were other mers in the va beach area :D im trying to move back lol. xD

[halesloveswhales]

When you move back, Brianna, we three (plus more?) should meet up!

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

Anyone else going to the meetup on the 25th in Coney Island?

[Lyna]

I would not have looked in here had I not seen this last post in the news feed. joy&raptors: you are in and posting in the cheapeake pod...but that is the new england pod meetup you are refferring to.
and yes...i'll be there. if your guys' pod wants to join together and make the meetup even bigger, then the more the merrier! sounds cool.

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

Actually, Lyna, I don't think the meetup is affiliated with either pod, it's just a meetup. I was invited to (but couldn't make) the last one.

[Mermaid Maleficia]

I am in the heart of baltimore.

[Mermaid Annariea]

When you move back, Brianna, we three (plus more?) should meet up!

omg i just saw this.
yes yes yes :D i totally agree!!

[devilkitten1]

Based on the Virginia section of the members map, i am the only mermaid in my area. but i get to be the mountain mermaid. ^_^;

[MountainMermaidBrooke]

Yay! I just saw this one and it pretty much makes my other thread moot. Lol. I love that there are so many mers in Va and several fairly close. I am located in Front Royal, Va. So if any mers wanna take a dip in the Shenandoah, me casa es su casa. ^…^

[Sea Pearl]

I'm going to be moving to North Carolina soon. Anyone else there?

[Merman Dan]

Which part of NC? I'm near Greensboro.

[Sea Pearl]

Either the Wake Forest or Raleigh area.

[Merrow Fair Isle]

I' m in Eastern Pa...right on the division of chesapeake and NE pods :)

[seagirls626]

EEK! I USED to live in Virginia, but me and my family had to move to Switzerland for my Dad's work. :(
Hopefully we'll be moving back soon. I REALLY miss my house! I never knew that there were so many mers in Virginia! lol

[roamingmer]

So where are you in Switzerland - and are you enjoying the early snows?
It certainly is not Virginia - but having moved to near Zurich 10 years ago I can definitely say it has some nice benefits - but I miss the sea.

[Chenne]
