I think I have a pretty good idea girls! Why don't we all get signed up for AOL or MSN instant messaging (I am already signed up with both) and we can set a certain time Thursday night, say 6:00 Pacific Time (so it's not too late back east) and we can chat for an hour or so on Thursday evenings. These two Instant Messengers are free and easy to sign up for. What do you all think?

I do have AOL instant messenger installed and working on my PC -- I don't have a working copy of MSN and don't want to try to reinstall it as it got really messed up on my PC and I couldn't get back into it. (I also got a pop-up message from McAfee Security Center, for those who do use it, that there is a security hole in MSN making it accessible to hackers; free patch is available - check out MSN or McAfee.)

I will FReepmail anyone who wants it my AOL IM ID.

Thursdays are fine for me but I kind of run on Hawaiian time (if you catch my meaning, as Samwise would say), being on the Left Coast and all.

Or maybe hs-mama could compile the list and send it to all of us Interestedee's. ;-)

I am on AOL. My screen name should be obvious. Heh.

Hey - I am game for AIM! You have freepmail.

I don't have MSN or AOL during the summer - out in the country and the dial up connection costs me long distance dollars. Sorry. But, if I'm the only one who can't connect via IM, don't worry about me. I can just report my progress on the Dose or via freepmail.
