We have a chat...and I'm alone in there.
 

Only today I noticed the OB chat is working.
I'm glad I don't mind thinking out loud.

Oh I used to go there regularly when I first got here but nobody else would.

Chat?

Yeah, it used to get used a little more frequently back a few years when I first joined, but not a lot of people use it now. I think it's mostly because not a lot of people know it's there, plus people might not just have the time for it.

I have never tried the chat. It is so easy to post....

I think the chat room is more so for casual conversations that would make any forum thread absolutely cumbersome to read. I think it's meant to run something like a Facebook messenger group chat.

Ha ha. I do not do Facebook. I don't want my kids to think I am stalking them. :)

Oh you should do it. It is a good way for families to keep in touch. Seriously. All my relatives from around the country are on it.

My family and friends can call, text, email or snail-mail me. I know too many people who check up on their kids constantly and I do not want to be that way. My kids are in college (19, 21, 23) and they deserve their privacy from Mom at this time. I know about the 'oversharing' issue of young people at this age and I prefer them to tell me what they want me to know (which they do). When they ask me to be on Facebook, I will join. :)

Agree completely. People waste too much time on FB :D
However if there is something really urgent, then we use WhatsApp which is great for touching base and sharing photos etc
