Who Chats in the Chatroom and When Do They Chat?

[Andrew Hunt]

Hi there.

I'm just curious as to whether folks go in the chatroom and, if at all possible, there can be a set day (or days) and time per week where we could most likely come in to do us some chatting.

Might be fun.

[Andrew Hunt]

Okay. Here's the deal. For those of us who don't have a whole lot of interest in the Super Bowl, other than watching things in amber/blue 3-D, why don't we keep an eye on the chatroom throughout the day and join in whenever we feel like it?
Or...would some of you prefer a set time to make contact like, say, 2pm (est), this afternoon?
Just a notion.

Hi, once more.
I'd still like to know if there's any interest in setting some form of schedule for online group discussions in the chat area.
As many of you know, most chatrooms have been overtaken by those who would do harm by being complete (insert your favorite description here) with severe control issues. They've come to be known, over time, as Trolls. This chat area seems to not be infected by such.
Very, very good news.
Here's hoping we can work out a plan for thoughtful, useful and, yes, humorous real-time discussions.

hi Andrew
I enjoyed our chat yesterday! I got wrapped up in the game, it was a good one. I'll check into the chat room again soon.
Bye for now!

I like the idea. What time works well for people? Keep in mind we're set over multiple time zones.

OH recipes - I just made a place on the town website I'm making for recipes. Maybe we should start a strand here, too.

Came today to chat and play. Noone was here yet so went away.
Time to start the work-a-day....To bring home my share o' the pay
and make sure that, in my home, have a bit of say....

Work with foodies, so recipes come easy...
especially those for vegetarians....like ...me
( It's early so forgive me please)......

Hi Kelly!
You are a poet but you don't know it ;)

Hope your day is off to a great start.

[Kelly Ames Smith]

You Know it...
a fig newton of my own imagination
and (soy version of) ham through and through.

You have a great one too --and safe driving on those beautiful roads

Up Ireland!

( and Wales, and Prague...) and this wonderful melting pot of USA

Can't you envision Liz and Ken leading us on art/film/music/helping hands trips around the Globe?

Loving the Blue Fish recipe..we used to get up with my Uncle in the middle of the PM " when the Blue Fish were Running..."and Catch 'em...but they were always a bit....toothy...and oily for my taste...but now that my boys have been bitten by the fishin' pole bug....
looks like it is in the cards. Thanks for the recipe.

and the happy thoughts.

Happy day! ( Just back from a five mile run with my boys)

On the subject of who chats in the chatroom and why, I just wanted to remind everyone that we'll have our first official Grammy chat tonight. The Grammys start 8pm EST. I'm getting the word out a little late, so hopefully some of you will get the word and come in and join us.
xo Liz

Hi All.
Now that the chatroom is at the bottom right of the screen, does anyone still use it?
Is anyone interested in utilizing it more?
If so, how so?
I'm just curious as to how we can re-integrate it into active usefulness.

[Kate Taylor]

I am interested in chatting but am on a crazy schedule and don't know when and if I'll be around but will you guys keep me posted if you're doing something like the Grammy night which I hear was a blast.
Hi everyone!
