Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Eunice asked me if I'd check into this and if possible start it on thurs since that is when the people who responded said was a good evening. I saw that it was for 9PM but not which time zone. I am in Eastern Daylight Savings time. If it is 9pm here then it is 4 or 5 pm in CA isn't it? Well, here is what I found out when I checked out the AOL IM chat rooms program. Anyone can download the AOL IM even if they don't subscribe to AOL. It is free. I don't remember how long it takes, but it doesn't take forever. You have to find a name to use as a 'buddy name' which sometimes takes a while unless you are willing to use the name they suggest which will make it nearly instantaneous! Once that is done you have AOL IM downloaded in your PC. then to start a chat room (not a one on one real time chat between just two people) you have to look on the screen that has the AOL IM set up. Look under the words that say 'on line' and 'set up' and you will see 3 icons. The middle one is for a ''chat invitation' and if you click on this one you open up a chat room and can invite as many people as you want to come in. AND I think, if I remember correctly from doing it in the past, you can scan yahoo for chat rooms in session and ask to be allowed in. I will endeavor tomorrow night to open a chat room somewhere between 7 and 8 p.m. eastern daylight time and post to the list when I do. I am having an outpatient 'procedure' at 4:15 (if the dr is on time!) and should be home immediately after that. the anesthesia is usually worn off in minutes and I can't drive and usually am not sleepy afterwards so I should be able to do this. If I am not ANYONE can do this - but it would be helpful to post to the diabetes list that it is being done and the chat room number etc. When people on the east coast get tired and sign off, there is time always for the chat room to work its way across the country :-) Nothing like a real time chat. Hope to see you there! Now I just have to hope that CRS doesn't hit me tomorrow and I remember to open the chat room at 7pm eastern daylight time. LOL....
