Please Tell Me What ya think!

We had mentioned this in Jan's "What's Happening" post and was wondering if we could get some feed back on this.  We had talked about maybe once a week or everyother week, on a certain evening meeting in a chatroom.  I thought maybe we could set it up for the same time of the evening, when we pick a day or date(s).  Maybe we could even get one of the nurses or even a doctor may come sometimes and answer questions.  Everyone would be welcome.  I just feel that we have a lot of people here in various places with there WL and we could all help each other just by being there.  I know by the amount of people that are reading the posts on the board that there must be a lot of shy people out there!!  Maybe if we all got together we could make everyone comfortable about talking.  Also I know that there are not support groups everywhere or close enough for people to be able to travel to so this may help them.  Or people who have young children and are not able to leave them with someone long enough to travel to the meetings.  We could post reminders on the board when and at what time a few days in advance so people could try and make it or to remind them, (this is for people like me that cant remember what they were doing 5mins ago), now what was I saying,lol!   Well, let me hear some feed back on this and we can work together to see if this is something we would like to give a try. We are getting so many new people, (which if great!!!!) I have to go back and read my post a few different times to make sure in Whats Happening I talked to everyone I wanted to, lol!  But thats okay I am excited to see so many on here!!!!!!!!!!!Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! NOW LETS HEAR WHAT YA THINK MISSOURIANS'S!!!!                     WE THE GREATEST BOARD IN THE WORLD!!                                                                                              (STEALING WING,S BABY CIRCLE DANCE!!!) HEHE, LOVE SUSAN

That sounds great!   I personally would like to get to know everyone else better.  I like to post, I just don't know what to say. Anyway please let me know,  Layla

Hey Susan, I think that is an AWESOME idea~Count me in and just let me know when!! Get it set up and like I said-let me know what day. Have to say that probably after dinner time is the best for me, or earlier in the day-because of the kids-during the week-weekends are ALWAY**** and miss here.....So-just let me know when, where and what time-and I will be there. All my love-Janet

Hey Sis,  I was wondering when someone was going to pick that up and go with it lol lol lol......I think it is a great ideal!!!!! Let me know when and I will do my best to be there!!!!!

sit it up girl and i know lots will try to be there. but I like you will have to be notified several times lol. My brain is like a sieve. A lot goes thru it but not much stays there anymore lol

I think it would be a great tool and maybe you could get some of the newbies to open up in there.

Susan, I think it would be great.  I believe an evening through the week would be best and late enough that folks have finished dinner and the kidlets are settled down (not that I have any kidlets!!!).  I would definitely need reminders and would hope new folks would join in.  We LOVE newbies!!! Thanks for trying to get this set up.  I appreciate you. Lana

I am glad that people are interested in doing this.  As of this morning there have been 3****s on this, so I know that we can get some more feed back, besides the ole timers.  (Notice my friends I said "Ole timers",lol!)  Just one or two lines like," Tuesday's at 8pm or Mondays at 7pm or whenever".   Im not being pushy but I know there are alot that would like this.   I think evenings are a great idea!   I know that we all enjoy our weekends with our families and outings because of the summer time.  Or maybe Sunday evenings because we are home getting ready for the new week.  Some work and cant stay up really late, and Late to one person could mean early to others.  Maybe we maybe able to sometimes do it during the days sometime and during the evening other times. So until we get some more feed back, I think for myself evenings during a weekday is best.  Friday nights is kinda bad for me, I spend quality time with my daughter and my grandma playing cards.   But I think this is such a good idea if I had to I would change nights we play.  Like I said above, we can test drive the chat room a couple of times and see what people come and what day or times they like best.  There is no one in charge its everyone's time to get together and support each other.  I really miss not being able to come to the Springfield meetings.  All of you there have such a great thing going and I know that there are people out there that have gone to support groups they feel the same thing about but they might be too far away to attend all the time to get the support they need.  (I mean no disrespect to meeting in places near St. Louis or other places,  its just that I really love my new friends in Springfield and I think they really support each other so much.)  Lets try to get together on this.   Just post what you think here.   Thanks  Love Susan

Dear Susan (MY personal Bail bondswoman/doggeta~) HMMMM...Ya know, I really dont want to be the boss of this thing-LOL...I think its a good idea-and I think whatever you come up with is perfect-and I will be there. Like I said-sometime after dinner and when the kids are getting ready for bed is fine with me-I think 8 pm any time during the week (not Fri-Sun) is perfect for me. If you want to do that and we can always throw out a day time too-I know that Mel, Tammy, Jan and a couple of others may be able to do that?  Just MAKE a time-and tell us and we will be there-heck-let me tell you something-you wont be able to coordinate with everyone-so they will either be there or not-(dont mean that harshly) but maybe they can hit a different one one time, ya know? I include myself in that comment, because there may be a time I cant make it-and I wouldnt expect you guys to reschedule because of me-ya know?  Alright then-I would just post it and we will go for it...Love ya, and I am excited about this-cant wait!  Janet
