reflections on...

Hi everybody!
Came here dutifully at 7pm - make that 1 p.m. N.Y. time (whatever happened to G.M.T.) since more people understand the concept of N.Y. time/minutes... ;) to make my CHAT Debut on the new site.
Now either I was unsure (make that 'clueless') or nobody else showed up...but it was not to be!
Going back to our old format - I will be hosting a chat at this time bi-monthly on various topics, none of which are written in stone. There is however an attempt to come back to base throughout the given 2hrs and see if we can come to an agreement/ overview of the topic under discussion.
If any of you are reading this - please feel free to join in next Wed. at 7pm (lunch time N.Y. cf - above!)
The topic will be FROM WHERE I SIT... Why each of us writes with our given perceptions, prejudices, - a look at enculturalization among other aspects.
Do pop by!
THanks

...but where is the chat facility on New Neo...I can't find it!

Sorry you had a chat session to yourself, I would have joined you...if only I knew which room to find you in.

regards,

HS (a little lost!)

With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth, yet nobody sees me.

I was unaware that chat had returned. I haven't seen any evidence of a chat room, and no body has informed me, when my session is supposed to resume .

Stand tall, be proud to be who you are, give the world the finger!!!!

Consider yourselves FOUND! in the LOST room! Alongside me! All I know is Richard and I booked this spot recently - and that was before the new neoman was up and running! Now that I can't find it either - I suppose we'll be informed in due course!
Hope to see you both in the not too distant future!

the chat feature has not been brought back just yet ...

Andrew and Paul are working on it, and I'm sure it will
be on the priority list soon ...

Love to you and peace

baited breath, and various other body functions. I have been lost without the chat. It was one of the brightest spots in my week. ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

never can hear "baited breath" without visualizing somebody with worms on their tongue lol.............scribbler

Now there's some imagery I can do w/o. ;-) And where there are worms there are eventually fish - low tide odor maybe?

I'm with you Gee - I miss the chatroom. I hope it won't be too much longer.

does anyone know if you will ever get our work that was posted before the crash back?

vexations

But there is an up side. Have you heard of "Kafka Syndrome"? He was such a perfectionist he burned most of his manuscripts, though his best friend managed to save some, the only existing originals are charred around the edges!

However he kept writing and re-writing and the results speak for themselves, one of the greatest writers ever.

I love your signature!! Instead of copying your signature, I'll just look at it and live vicariously, through you:)))

Kind Regards,

I forgot my old signature so this one will have to do for a while!

announcement when chats are to resume. BTW Does anyone know how to delete messages? I have read all of mine, and just want to get rid of them. Can't find a delete command anywhere. Thanks, ~ Gee

but you can edit your comment on a poem if someone hasn't already clicked reply.
