Chat Rooms?

Did a little more exploring on this site today. The couple of times I have been to the chat rooms there was no one there. Finally ran into one other person today. Have you ever used them? Anybody interested in setting up a BC chat, either as just a one time thing or maybe a regular weekly thing?

    Chat room
    I have tried to get into the chat rooms and always have a problem. I assumed it is a site issue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

    I tried a long time ago to get in and couldn't. I don't know if a lot go there anymore, just for that reason.

    Good luck!

    I checked it out
    And it does work. Of course, when I first went there, a blank page with a note about "you have to enable some doohickie". Now, most of you might be afraid of the rampant doohickies on the 'net, but not I! I have a Mac, and Macs usually don't worry about doohickies.

    So I clicked on "enable doohickie" and restarted my browser. Chat works! OK, there's no one there, but at least I know how to get there...and maybe some of you who had problems with it will now know what to do. Oh, I think the doohickie was called Java6 or something. It seems that with a site this large, this doohickie should do your computer no harm. Notice I said "it seems". Good luck!

    Chat room
    I did start a BC room awhile ago, but everyone goes to the main lobby or whatever, It would be good to do like a sunday chat for an hour or so.

    I know Re used to go in the chat rooms, but, I don't know if she still does. Maybe she could help you if you're having trouble. You could message her on here.


    Lots of luck!

    we can set up
    a chat room outside of this domain.

    If you all would want something like that, I can get one started right away.

    Let me know

    I've never tried the chat rooms. Mary, that might be a good idea. What does everyone else think?

    BC chat
    There is a very active BC Chat at Breast Cancer.org that has been around forever. People from here have started chat sites but they come with their personal agenda so I do not go to those
