i'm assuming (and yes, i know what that means) you'd be using a different room, that way those who normally use the room to talk about bacon sandwhiches, our jammies, how mean mr kk is (or great, depending on my mood), how we can't keep private messages from becoming public (any way to fix that one mister bob? that's administrtive and i have a real problem there!!!!)....
anyway, what i'm saying is
1. i'm not sure what you guys are planning for tuesday night, but i kinda like sitting in chat since i live a rather borign existence and have nto much else to do. i hardly doubt i can keep up with your 'smart' talk, whatever that is. i haven't even been able to open the thread to read it, thus provign my point. your names look rather smart to me, as i am but initials.
2. some of the regular chatters are only able to go to room 2. like i mentioned, i havent' read the rest of the thread, so i may look like a real assumer here (not the first time, but i'm feelign rather bold and confident and not afraid to ask questions).
3. basically, 'what's goign on tomorrow night?' is it going to be one of those 'we can talk abotu 'smart stuff' or we can talk about 'jammies and bacon sandwhiches'? can some one break it down to a girl who just sustained a severe head injury (ok, it's not that severe, but i am rather dramatic.)?
4. is regular chat goign to be open, for those of us who get rather lonely and look forward to taking about bacon sandwhiches?
5. am i spelling sandwhiches right? i have a really bad feelign i'm not.
i'd really like an answer to most of my questions. you don't have to answer number 5. i fear i already knwo the answer to that one...
thank you and not trying to be rude. just trying to catch up and not show up to a black tie affair wearing my jammies eatign a bacon sandwhich,
kk

In reply to what room are you using? » Dr. Bob, posted by karen_kay on July 23, 2007, at 20:19:15
nevermind, i figured it out.
i'm learning about assuming though :)
i'll be in room 2 in my jammies talking about bacon sandwiches tomorrow night though, if anyone wants to join me. maybe it'll get frisky even? i like sausage too! :)

Tomorrow at 9:30 would work for me. Is that in room 1, which tends to be less used? or do you want to start in room 2?

Please wait for me Dr. Bob! I don't get home until 10:30 PM EST, 9:30 PM central time.
I just wanna say Hi. Please stay until 10:35 PM EST. You'll make my night.
No pressure though.
I'll be OK even if I miss you, but I really really wanna see you in chat.

OK, let's go ahead with 9:30 Eastern = 8:30 Central tonight. In room 1, since it's less used. See you then,
Bob

I missed Dr. Bob! Aaahhh! No fair! I don't get home until 10:30 pm EST on weekdays. I'm never going to chat with Bob. I hate this. I'm upset. I want Bob! I want Bob! I'm sorry, I'm being immature.
:-(
I want Bob. :-(
I want BOB!!!!! AaAaahhhhHH
Can someone record chat verbatim?
I hate this. Sometimes loving Bob makes me feel bad. I get all jealous. I'm going to think of all the times Bob wrote to me.

I think it's important to find a way to include Deneb in the chats about this topic. She has added a lot of insight and participated in the last workshop in Toronto, so she can help explain what that was like too.
Deneb, I'm sorry you feel left out. I would too. :(
I hope next week will be better.

Sorry I missed the one last night. A friend called last minute begging for me to help her move. I didn't end up getting home until midnight. I should be on the next chat though. Anyone take notes?

I'm baffled. Is there a chat room on psycho babble some place? Or is it on some other web site? Or, is it just for a certain group of people? Is there a topic or a particular goal?
Just curious!

Thanks for trying to include me Llurpsie and thuso. :-) You're both sweet.
I'm OK now. I had a bit of a tantrum, but I'm OK again. If my schedule is inconvenient to people, please don't try to accommodate me. I'm not sure I would have anything of value to say in chat. I mostly just want to see Dr. Bob. LOL
We can "chat" on the Yahoo group.

Hi Lonely!
There're two chat rooms here, it's called Babblechat.
http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/ch/chat.cgi
On the right of the link to Babblechat you can see if there are any people on chat. You use your posting name and password to get into Babblechat. Babblechat is for all registered users on Babble.

Anyone can contribute. Just ask when the next chat will be. I don't know 'cause I missed the last one.

Yup. Babblechat
http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/ch/chat.cgi
You'll find that link is at the bottom of each board's main page. Number next to it tells you how many people are chatting currently.
Follow the link, click on Register for Chat, sign in. You *should* only have to do that (register) once, but the system sometimes has 'issues' only Dr. Bob can fix. Please post here on Admin if it doesn't work for you...
>Or, is it just for a certain group of people?
Nope, it's for anyone who's registered at PB.
>Is there a topic or a particular goal?
Not usually, but this thread is about some research for a presentation in 2008 at the annual APA meeting. Read this thread from the beginning - or at least a few posts up and you will get the details....
Chat is available 24/7, but seems to get heaviest use weeknights about 7-11pm CST, I'd say. People just pop in to talk to each other. Or sometimes they ask on the boards if anyone would like to go there, so they can talk in real time, like if they need company right now, some support, etc.

Thanks Deneb and 10derheart. Finally saw it and registered and went into the room and tried it out - alone. No doubt that's the best way to learn! <grin> Appreciate the help from both of you in pointing this out to me.

What did it end up being? It sounded like a very scholarly project to which I could contribute very little, not having been scholarly for years and years.
But Dr. Bob's later posts made it sound more about personal experiences. So I'm confused.
Can people who aren't going to DC contribute? Can people who are going to DC but have no real desire to speak in public contribute? What would they be contributing anyway. Is it too late for people to choose to contribute?
I don't know that I'm asking for myself, mind you. It just sounded as if there is some lack of understanding among people who might wish to contribute.

I hope you weren't asking me specifically. I didn't answer because I have nothing to do with whatever they are doing and I don't know the answers to your questions.
Are you okay?

I'm ok enough. I wasn't directing my question at you, or at anyone in particular. You've been quite helpful on the thread. :)
I was just acknowledging that I had apparently intruded with my question, and I regret that. I meant no harm by asking, and am politely withdrawing the question.

I meant no harm by asking, and am politely withdrawing the question.I'm hardly one who's in the loop, but just wanted to say, I highly doubt that theory! :) I think no one is around much these days, like to a record-setting extent. And I thought you were kidding around with the "I see..." When I saw it I giggled... ooops sorry about that part!

I don't see your post as intrusive whatsoever. I just don't have all the answers to it.
I think that Dr. Bob is genuinely interested in the experiences of individual posters/psychobabblers. So that's part of your question, I think? I also think he would like some scholarly feedback about putting together a workshop for toronto. This thread has been going on forever, but at some point Dr. Bob asked if folks were interested in helping and if we could meet in chat to discuss things. Now there have been 2 chats, and *I* think we're making good progress.
The way these things work is that there's a deadline for submitting a workshop proposal, and then it's accepted/not and then at some point down the line there may be a second round of discussion about what is actually going to be involved vis a vis participating in the workshop.
I don't want to spread misinformation, so perhaps I'll add the disclaimer that my answers are based on my own experiences having participated in this thread for MONTHS now. more precise answers could (possibly) be provided by Dr. Bob. Or he may just be confusing and pdocish and say (what do you think? and :-) etc) well, anyways...

(At least I hope it's still "above" by the time I submit this!)
Hi Lurps, pleased to meet you! Thanks, but actually it was Dinah's request for info on how things are going.
While I'm here, I'll say as briefly as I can, which is not my strong suit allllll.... I've seen you ask for comments on why people post a lot sometimes and not others; why lurkers stay lurkers or not; or something to that effect. My own answer would be: I'm always trying to contain my Internet "addiction" (or trying to try... or thinking about trying to try...). It's hard enough for me to stay offline and not be "researching" one thing or another obsessively at all times, but when I add in actually taking the time to interact, and compose stuff when I can't even type... kaboom goes my so-called real life!!
I think that's true of many people, as to why they don't post. They're actually trying not to, even if they'd love to. For me, if I just get a few weeks, months or years behind me where I haven't posted, as long as I "don't break the seal" I'm pretty safe reading. But once I start posting... *sigh*
Have a spiffy weekend!
Best,
CQ
