Re: free communications that would allow chat

[Guest guest]

Ken, I have tried numerous times on webv to figure out how to use ICQ

and simply cannot do it. Now I AM a techno dummy, so if anyone else has

figured it out, please tellme. I have other groups on there I would like

to go to also, but can't seeem to even get registered.

Good idea though!

I'm in the process of downloading it now. I'll document every move and send

up a message to the list. Perhaps it'll help someone.

Ken,

That sounds like a good idea. I used to use ICQ for a fibro chat, altho I

haven't used it in awhile. I will try it out today. It would be great to

have a chat line with others in the group.

Ken,

I have used ICQ chat for quite some time now and I love it. *S* I can

hook you up with the " list manager " of my FMS support group and you can

write to her and pick her brain about setting up and managing a member

list on ICQ if you like.

It does come in handy for those nights when the insomnia or pain won't

let you sleep, or for the times when you need to chat " one on one " with

a sympathetic ear. They also have meetings or discussions where all the

members are invited, etc.

I tried to add you to my list by searching the number at the bottom of

this note, but it did not sound like you. Please add me to your list. My

# 4593089. Then I will send a msg. to the list mgr. I spoke of and ask

her if I may give you her information.

I think this sounds like a great idea. Sometimes we girls get several

members in the same room for an uplifting chat...there are a few men on

there too. *S*

Hugs,

Diane

<raising hand> I would be! I've been using ICQ since about the time it

came out. It's really QUITE good. I use it mostly for messaging back and

forth and file transfers. I don't know who or when I've given out my ICQ #

to but my new one is 13375212. My old one, 219090, is kaput...my nephew,

when he was visiting, deleted it by mistake while trying to make his own ICQ

I.D. Feel free, anyone, to add me to your list.

CUL,

Ruthie
