We've all had them, right? You wake up and are just meh - and you aren't able to shake it. That's my day today. I woke up feeling meh - had my morning coffee and donut - usually a morning brightener - today, meh - and then I decamped to the couch where I encamped and have been slug-a-bed (slug-a-couch) every since. Ah, lucky Altizens that I have this forum to share such nonsense. Oh, well. As the redoubtable Scarlett O'Hara eloquently put it - "Tomorrow is another day."

Room Ownership - How Often Should I (or you) Be There?

I have a room - well, a couple of them. These are not really play rooms - one is for me to post writings and the other is to talk about music. People are invited to drop in and chat and contribute or just hang out - there are no expectations beyond polite behavior.
Now, does it matter how often I am in these rooms? I mean, if I were there more, if people saw the room(s) were occupied, would that encourage more people to visit? I have no idea.
This is true of other rooms, too. The owner is not present very often and/or at unpredictable times. Does this matter? Or does the room draw people based primarily on their shared interest in what the room offers?
As for me, on those days when I am able to do so, I will perch myself in my rooms. If someone stops by, great; if not, well, that is quite okay too.

This year I am celebrating the birthdays of two friends who are *80*, one who is *70*, another who is *50*, and two couples' *50th* wedding anniversaries. It doesn't seem possible. And, yet, here we are, older in some ways; still young in others. And to those enjoying milestone events - that end in d'oh or any other number - I wish you the best - health, happiness, laughter, love - and will try to do the same as my calendar pages turn to similar celebrations.

So, you found a room and liked it and joined. And then what? Did you post to the message board? Join a chat session (or several) and post your presence and a greeting to others who might be there? Return consistently? I hope so. Because that is the (a) key to the community remaining vibrant and alive.

This may be a "pot calling the kettle black" post, but - is it too much to ask that words be spelled correctly? You're (where you are is clearly indicated) and not your -- facilities and not facilitys -- are two I came across today. I know this marks me as petty and pedantic but that shoe seems to fit pretty well.

Doing, not Talking

There are many chat rooms that are clear that they are for doing, not talking. And yet, a browse of the available scroll suggests that more time is spent talking than doing. Why? Is someone reluctant to make the first move? to make it clear they are looking for a play partner? Or are the demographics in the room such that is it clear that a move would be considered inappropriate or considered unwelcome?
I don't know.
Add in that this is all virtual - engaged in activity of creativity and imagination - which should free us to be more adventuresome, not less.
Oh well.

One word - fabulous. They both shot spectacularly and both cheered the other and each presented the best of sportspersonship. An it is the second signal event for women in a week, the first being Caitlan Clark's setting a new standard for points scored by a female college basketball player. Three cheers for excellence.
