What Night is Best to Start Up the Chatroom Again

I stopped the chatroom because Sunday night is just too hard with trying to get my kids ready for school etc. I really do want to do it. Please take the poll and let me know what's best for you. If something else is good (time), please respond to this message.

Thanks

Hi,
I'm in France so totally out of your time zone. Would it be possible to ask in advance a question as they do with breastcancer.org??? If not, I understand. Love the site and appreciate all the members.

Question Question

This is not about the moderated chats, I did vote but whatever the majority wants, I will just make time to participate. Yo are doing a wonderful Job, Becky.

Now, the question is, how do I place my picture on the site? I have a picture on my computer which I tried to place it on it, and kept getting a message that it was too big, and it provided me with some measurements for fitting it into the system. Do I take a card and place it in the computer, Do I take a new picture?
Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks.

Talk about a poll that gives NO ANSWERS! lol - hope this clears up as you get more responses. With the diversity of the poll responses I would say (even though I voted for "my" night") that it looks to me like what night is best for you!

And Sheila - ever thought about buying stock in a flip flop company?

Chat room. I have never been to a chat room, but once you start it up, I will give it a try. I too am trying to get my picture to attach to my posts. I have it on my profile. Will take Shelia's advice and email my picture to Joe. I want you all to see me in my cute wig.

Hmmmmm...let's see, I'm on West Coast Time, so I'm flexible

Hey Becky-Girl,

Being on the Left Coast and three hours earlier makes it easier on me. Of course, I'm a "24" and "Prison Break" watcher on Mon. and I love the "Office" on Thursdays. Plus, I tape "Men in Trees," so whatever works for the most people, will be fine. Funny, I've just listed all these shows, and I really don't watch television much and have music on right now (The Beatles today on this overcast and rainy day).

Talk soon.

Love,

Vicki

Question Chat Room

Hi, I am new to this site however, I have been chatting on breastcancer.org for a while and the chat room is LIVE 24/7. Is this site going to have limited chat times?

Thanks, Betty

Smile Any of you from the west want to chat?

I would love to join the chat but it seems most everyone is on eastern time. I am out here in So Cal and even an 8pm start on eastern time means an 11pm start for me. If there are any others out this way maybe we could start a chat on western time?
