Re: Chat!
no matter all the fancy whidgits, communication is still difficult - I mean challenging!!!! :>)
If you are on NY time, I am 7 (not 20, where'd that come from??) hours ahead. 2:00 p.m. was comfortable - makes it 9:00 p.m. here - but 5:30 there, makes it 12:30 (midnight) here - I could have done that yesterday, but then I went to sleep super late, and woke up early, and not certain I'll be up with the midnight oil tonight.
I remember the first chat I experienced, I was so high after, I couldn't go to sleep til way in the wee hours of the morning. And Gary, I am forever indebted to you for that!!!!!
a couple things before the chat - have you downloaded java? - without that it doesn't work. And if we're lucky and get several people to join us, when replying to someone's post, don't use pronouns - it gets so confusing, just as our posts earlier overlapped, there all kinds of remarks overlap and it's sometimes confusing what is being referred to, eg, yes, I agree with that - now several points may have been made, and not clear which one "that" is.
Also, there are two areas in the bottom to type (well, more, a private area also where no one else can see the exchange), one is ask, one is send - when there is no guest speaker, don't use ask, just send. the ask area needs a facilitator working the board, which takes some learning (I haven't learned it)
anyway, if we don't succeed in the chat room, still it's wonderful to see more posts again in the forum.
