| One of our new members mentioned joining the Thursday night chat. Is anyone interested in trying to start up a chat again?--it certainly wouldn't need to be weekly. But I think it would be nice to get to know some members in less formal discussions. |

Weekly chats didn't seem to work, but I do like the idea of having a monthly scheduled chat session. Talking to each other live is a lot of fun and we should probably get live chats back on the menu.  Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Yeah, christianity makes sense. |

My only problem with chatting is that I only type 2 words fast enough to use in a chat, "zombie" and "dog" which I already overuse and neither have much value in a conversation.
Later Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..."Holy Crap...what a ride!"

This shouldn't be a problem. We never expect much out of you. LOL  Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

| Well then, by the great zombie dog in the sky I'll be there! Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..."Holy Crap...what a ride!"

| Oh my, Frank. I just assumed that everyone on here could, at least somewhat, type. Are you really a "hunt-and-pecker"? Doesn't that annoy you trying to type out a longer response? |

| Almost never. Trust me you will know it when it happens. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..."Holy Crap...what a ride!"

I would be up for a chat night. When are we going to do this?

So are we going to resurrect some sort of chat night or not?

George,
I would like to participate in a chat. I've found that the best way to get people to do something is to just do it and hope they join. Because of different things going on in my life I won't be available until the week of 8/6, which gives us some time to set a good night and, hopefully, drum up some interest. Is there a specific night that is good for you?
Is anyone else interested in joining? |

Let's try to get this started with setting one community chat with no mention of an ongoing weekly or monthly chat schedule. If enough people show up and participate we'll know there is an interest. I too am not available till into August.
So how about Thursday, August 9:00 at 9:00 pm eastern?
If you guys like this time I'll do my best to advertise the chat date/time to the community. |
