I was with them last night and then the day before I was here all night and part of the morning till Wenchie left.

So there is no right answer for me to click on.

Song Lyric, crud I can think of the song title and group, and ring tone doesn't play all the lyrics.

Used to use the chat often, when Epoman & Goofy were around. Since then, I think I have been in there 2 or 3 times, once the other morning. Nice option, just catching people at the right time is the trick.

It was a freak thing --- someone pm'ed me when I was on line and said to go chat---- it might have been Kitkatz

I chat at night.  Sometimes PMing others online to join in.

The lighting needs improvement, but the drinks are plentiful!
And don't lean on the door, or you may fall outside.

I signed up for a craft show in the spring, so I'm spending every spare second I have making things to sell, so I haven't spent a lot of time surfing lately.  I haven't chatted in a while because of it - when I do sign in here, there is rarely anyone in the room.  I need to check more often - I miss gabbing with everyone!

Yes chatting seemed more prominent last year early on then kinda fizzled. There is a link to post that you want to chat, but forgot title and there are several who started seperate threads now. The problem is people send a notice when they are in chat, not ahead of time to plan for it. Just by chance you catch people in there if you look to see what the latest topic was posted. Lately it has been fun once more. With new members joining, it's a good way to get to know them. To bad there wasn't a button at the top of the screen that shows you if people are in chat while you are reading or posting to a thread.

Whenever I see a post here http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=1349.0 I head over and join the chat. Sometimes I am busy posting stories or reading threads and I don't see that there are people in the chat room. So if you want to chat - POST something there! :thx;

You can also find that thread by going to http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0  Dialysis: General Discussion and at the top are 2 "child boards" - one is IHD Chat Room - the thread is in there.

Cool...I hadnt gotten to that thread yet!  I have been going through each item and reading all the posts...some really old stuff, but still informative.  I think there are some times that friendly "needling" is better in chat than in posts....the response time is better!  lol

One thing I can say is that the folks in chat at night are great insomnia entertainment. So Chris, Joe Paul, RichardMEL (ie: BoyToy), Wattle and Circle...thanks for spending the nights with me!  <chuckle>

I will go sit in the chat room and just wait. I read posts a go on Facebook and wait for people to show up. I also post a "Come on over" on the chat thread!
