Does anyone ever use the chat rooms?? I would like to visit with others there. Sometimes I have the need to connect and just chat.

    Hi Potsie, I feel the same way, but almost never see anyone there. I usually get on in the morning while DW is still sleeping.

    I like the message boards but sometimes seems like it would just be nice to chat

    I check every so often as well.  I think I'd like that too!

    When I first joined the forum the chat rooms were well used.  I tried a few times and enjoyed them but they move super fast.

    Maybe some of you could discuss a time and then meet up there at that time.

    I usually check in between 6 and 7 in the morning before things get going here at home

    I’d also like to chat in real time. If any others are interested we might set up a time/day? I’m on the West Coast  (PT). I prefer evenings but could meet most anytime.

    I used to chat every evening.  It is a good idea for someone to post that he/she will be in the chat room from 5-5:30 pm PT (for example) and wait a bit for others to arrive.  

    If you say simply "the evening" that covers a lot of hours and time zones.  It's better to be more specific.

    Thanks Iris.  Now that DH is gone - I've got the time and would be happy to chat with anyone.  I'm not as knowledgeable - but I can listen.  I'll be in the chatroom 7.00-900 pm central time.

    I used to frequent the chat rooms when I first joined and enjoyed the conversations.  Sometimes the conversations do move fast, but it is still fun to be there. I've not gone in since I came back to this site. I do remember we were all there at a certain time of day, probably late afternoon or early evening.  When someone gets on in Florida in the morning, I am two hours earlier in Colorado, so still in bed.  I agree it works best to set a time, depending on which time zone we live in. 

    Happy chatting!

    I chatted with a few members tonight.  I hope you all who are interested will continue.  We used to have 8-10 chatters, sometimes more.
