It seems that there are many people interested in using the chat room, however, it is difficult to find someone else in there! Danny Carlton's suggestion was great - could we not set up a time when people will be there (making sure everyone knows what time this is in their time zone.) This chat room would be a wonderful resource, especially for those of us who feel isolated and need to TALK!!!. We are new to the message board, although we've been reading it regularly when visiting relatives. It is great to finally be a part of it! I have had some experience with a Chat room in my professional organization, and they chose Friday and Saturday evenings at 9:00 pm EST as a general chat time, when anyone interested could sign in and talk about anything. Could we do something similar? What would be required to set it up? Thanks very much. We really enjoy this site - it's been our lifeline!
