I'm just wondering if there is any possibility in the future to have a chat room where we can all talk in real time, separate from the forums. If not, perhaps we can start one through another server and link to it off girl-mom.
Any comments or ideas?

Sounds like a very good idea.
i dont have any idea how too do it , but maybe someone else will.
Well, we could all do a chat night, where we descend upon some unwitting free chatroom and fill it up with girlmoms. Or start a yahoo girlmom group and use that chat feature.
we used to do a gm chat on aim. it was julie, marie, becka, alli, megan, muy, me, erika sometimes. We would talk and have a good time. we would just set up a private chat room on aim and invite all the gms we knew who would be on/
it was pretty easy.
I don't know if this is what you were thinking of, but I made a chat room in response to this thread.
It's web address is: http://www.chatzy.com/506783092344
and the password to get in is: girlmama
okay hil, that seems to work pretty well. Now we need to set a time! I'm available this friday night if anybody's interested.
Sounds good! Y'all can be my hot date for the weekend. What time about are you thinking?
How about 9? I put Matt down at 8, that gives plenty of time for a story.
that sounds like an awesome idea!! i will bookmark the page!
What time zone is that?
I went at 9 central time and there was no body there! I hope i did it right.
We're doing it tomorrow night (friday)
Wow, don't know how I missed that. Ha ha. Thanks, well talk to you guys tomorrow then, what time zone is that?
How late are people planning to be on? My kid doesn't go to sleep until late...
ill probably be on at least until 1, because i stay up until like 2 or 3 every night now that schools out. (im in eastern time)
I'm in eastern time, if you want to push it later for all the later zone mamas, that's okay with me.
I'll try to come! I'm near my laptop for most of the evening so I'll just check in whenever.
I really wish I still had internet at home now! I hope this is still going on whenever I do get it!
I think this is a good idea.
I should be around and able to get on
Eric goes to bed around 8-830 central time, so I will probably be in around 9:15-9:45 since putting him to bed takes about 15 min.
way to be resourceful, hilary! thanks!!!
let's leave it as an open room, so that anyone can and should go there at any time they want to/need to, and just see who happens to be there at any given time.
hahahaha. I'm on now,and I'm like "where teh hell is everyone?" then I read about the time zones. I'm an hour early hahaha :oops:
How was it? My SO and I ended up in a fight, and I forgot about it.
perhaps we could come here first and say we are going to the chat room, just as a point of reference so people can see that the actual gm with the screen name matches who is in the room... does that make sense? because essentially, anyone who sees this thread could go in under one of our screen names saying it was them, and we would really have no idea.
so long short, before you go into the chat room, come drop a line here that you are going to enter the chat room.
Yea very true point right there. I went on just to see if it worked and it did. Don't think anyone else was there though.
honestly this is just too confusing for a chat room where there's like 1 person in there every 4-5 hours, especially if you're talking about also making umpteen chat threads on here for a chat room that'll likely usually be empty.
What's wrong with the AIM idea? that way you can get someone's AIM username, and if you see a time where there's 5+ GM's on, make a chat room and you can invite anyone who's online in.
i don't have aim.
any girlmoms who want to talk or live chat can PM for my screen name .... someone deleted my buddy list on me so i now have zero "friends" online... and i dont remember a single screen name... please add me girls!
But AIM is a quick download, easy to use and most of the mamas here have it, if you don't have it if you actually do want to talk to the girls on here, I suggest you get it.
If anyone wants to add me I'm xnaivetexdawlx
I think it's a cool idea, if we can ever all get there!
The idea behind using an independent chat is that mamas who don't have aim or yahoo, are borrowing a friend's/relative's computer, or are using the library's, can still access it. There's nothing to download you just go in.
I know my mom used to get royally pissed if I downloaded anything onto the pc, especially messengers.
