We have been talking about scheduling a pre-noon weekend "meet and greet" chat session so those who don't live in the U.S. will be better able to participate without having to try to carry on intelligible conversations at wee hours of the morning

:cry: I don't believe it!! Here I was, planning to meet you folks online at 8 pm EST, and I got confused about the time zones. You're 3 hours ahead of me -- 5 pm, not 11 pm. :oops: I feel so silly. I can never get a true grip on the direction that time goes... Sorry. No worries. But you did miss a ...

Good luck with the chat tonight, guys. Sorry I can't be there. Incidentally, starting tomorrow, maybe we should start thinking about scheduling another meet and greet, this one incorporating some of the scheduling suggestions made in this thread. This coming weekend is likely no good, what with peo...

Don't forget tonight's chat.

Dec. 27th at 8 p.m. EST.
(which corresponds, I assume, to Dec. 28th at 1 a.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

Hope to see lots of you popping in, as you are able.

We can stay and chat al night long if people are in the mood. No rules need to be set. Our past casual chat sessions usually started at 9:00 pm and lasted for several hours. People came and went over the course of the chat, but most were there for the entire time period. It used to be the highlight...

Ok, then 8:00 pm Eastern it is. I'll do my best to spread the word. Thanks, Chris, that will be great. One question. We start the chat at 8 p.m. Is there any limit on how late it can go? Or is it just a matter of keeping it going until interest wanes. I've only been involved in a couple of these th...

Welcome to the group and please do join in the chat on Thursday night. We're hoping to encourage more participation by all our members, and this is one way to do it.

Chris, We've tentatively agreed to hold a chat session on Thursday night, December 27th. Rosemary started the ball rolling on this, and she has asked me to shepherd it along since she will be unable to take part, because of personal matters.
