Second (or first?) project chat to be scheduled - Orchid Board

Hi all...I'm back up and running again!!!

I spoke to Camille yesterday and we came to the conclusion that the 8pm est time chat doesn't necessarily work for all involved so...

I think we should have an earlier chat time scheduled in addition to the night-time chat.

If anybody is available at 2pm est, check out the chat room. Hopefully, this will allow our European friends to get into the chat aspect of the project.

We will do a summation of both chats in the forum threads.

My thanks to everybody for getting this project going while I was unavailable...it just shows, once again, that the folks here at Orchidboard are the BEST!!!

Hi Sue! I am happy to hear you are back up and running! Would the chat date be for this coming Sunday?

Edit: I just looked at the calendar, I guess I should have done that before asking...sorry! I didn't see today's chat scheduled on there before today becuase I wasn't looking for it, sorry! I can make either time. Thanks!

Today? If so I won't be able to make it as I'll still be at work.

Sue, Its really difficult to try to schedule a time that works for both sides of the Atlantic (let alone Australia - I think I saw one person on the list from there!). Perhaps a weekend time would be better, at least then it wouldn't conflict with work in the US?

Isn't it 2:10 eastern right now? Went to chat but nobody's there.

Wow I lost track of time!

We can have our "official" chats at 2pm est and 8pm est on Fridays or Saturdays...which works better for everybody?

Besides those meetings, we can meet in chat at either of those times any night of the week, just to discuss stuff. No decisions will be made without everybody's input.

I opened the 2pm est time chat just in case folks are around and want to talk. Hopefully, my life will stop testing my patience and I'll be able to get to any and all chats from here on

Hi Sue,

personally I prefer Saturdays (so I don't have to miss NCIS on Fridays hehe

) 2pm and 8pm EST is good too - That would be 7pm and 1am UK time - not bad, not bad....
Just would like to clarify one think - can i still add few orchids of my choice to the list or that has been closed?
As I missed the discussion

But saying that, there are quite a few stunners to choose from already.

Just to note that the US change their clocks this weekend (as Ross pointed out on another thread) - which means that after the change on Saturday, EDT will only be GMT +4 hours. Its still three weeks before we turn our clocks forward. I assume Europe is the same? Three weeks from now?

Hi all, Is there a way of knowing if anyone is in the chat room without actually going in? Anyplace that tells you while you are checking posts?
I think you all do such a great job trying to organize meetings so everyone can participate. It's such a confusing thing....glad you guys are doing it and not me. You are appreciated though!!!!!!
