...a buzz word that has gotten a lot of buzz on the eons singles scene...thought I would share the origin of the term as it is associated with people meeting people...the transition from cyber friends to real friends...while a very proud and active member of the ALT 50+ Singles group (which, sadly, was the primary casualty of a war of one), I decided that I wanted to meet some of wonderful people I had clicked with online...there were so many friends in so many places across the country...I wanted to visit them all...so, not being a woman of means, I posted that I was financing my trips by Spending the Kids Inheritance...as more and more zoomates (our self-named residents of the group) wanted to also meet, the next logical move was to start a tour of meet and greets...I then announced the beginning of the Spending the Kids Inheritance Tour (yes, SKIT)...the first SKIT was in San Diego...then a group of us went to New Orleans for a rockin' SKIT...there was an Oregon SKIT...and a North Carolina SKIT...since the first SKITs, there have been so many on the ALT 50+, 50+ Singles, and 50+ Night Owl Singles...my new home, The Petting Zoo, promises more SKITs to come...the exciting next SKIT is the big loveboat cruise in mid-July...there is only one rule for a trip to deemed part of the SKIT: one or more eons member must actually travel to meet another eons member or members...distance is not a factor...it can be across the street or across the country...I have made some fabulous friends thanks to SKIT, and plan to have many more...
