Re-setting the tone from a previous post (Rest in Peace) concerning the chat room, to something more positive. Many of us are missing chat. There is no moderator, so please read this and say what you think would work for you, if you're interested.

Chat has melted, reduced, and all but vanished. Maybe it is time to allow for the rebuilding, the reforming. Perhaps the time is right for an infusion of loving QT life force energy. Let's test it out.


Last post in the previous thread:

I've stopped going to chat because nobody comes any more, and it is such a loss. Earlier this evening I was thinking that maybe doing chat daily is too often, and that maybe we could try for once a week, say on a weeknight. Or the same in the morning. Or both.

Would Tuesday be a good day to try for a morning and evening chat, at the old times, which are 10 am and 9 pm US Central time. Or Wednesday or whatever? We could just say Wednesday is chat day, for example, or we could ask the regulars what day is best. Newbies too, all are welcome.

Or would a weekend be good? We always had a smaller number of people on weekends, so that might not be a good idea, but to be open, we could explore that too.

Or we could try for a twice weekly schedule, say like Monday and Thursday, as an example, leaving weekends free.

Many of us have met up in other venues, such as Skype and Facebook, but it's not the same as the Fambly meeting up in the chat! I have a long list of QT Friends on Facebook, which is great, at least it's staying in touch, but still not the same as the spontaneous, often zany, often serious, often thoughtful, conversations we had for years in chat. Then, there was the occasional food fight, and the meditations, and the group and individual healing sessions that were so wonderful. I especially miss the healing sessions that just popped up, where people would do their thing for whoever asked, often with astonishing results.

I think I will copy this & also paste it into a new thread with a more hopeful title, instead of "Rest in peace." Maybe it will catch the attention and we can re-form chat in its best and highest state, after the meltdown. That's not quite the right word, it was more like a fade-out, but in keeping with Core Transformation, melting & re-forming seems appropriate.

Melting and reforming...does that sound familiar? Hmmmmmm?????? Let's put the question out there, allow for the possibilities and with intention for good fellowship and fun, see how it re-forms and re-develops, or not. Thanks to all who are and have expressed interest in starting chat again. I for one have missed it terribly! I even miss Mavis, ha ha.

Love to all.

I'm in; have wanted to get back with the fambly (especially the food fights ;>

My schedule is pretty flexible so, keep me posted. namaste ~nancy

I agree. Chat was a lot of fun and wonderful friendships were formed. I, too, have logged on, only to find nobody there, so I would immediately log out. One time I tried to keep logged in while I read other posts, but the bell did not ring to tell me someone else had come in, and when I checked later, someone had said "Hi", then "I guess no one's here" and then left. In the past, we could count on Ali holding the spot open (Thank you!!!!) and we would all eventually hook up, with people coming in at different times.

So....thank you, Ali, for trying to get this fun and helpful chat going again. I will try to check in at the old regular times more often now. I miss the meditations we used to share and the opening of our hearts to each other, as well as our silliness

Love and Light,
Laura

I miss the fambly and the meditations we often did. The energy moved so powerfully!

It is a good point that some changes in the scheduling could assist people in different time zones. Perhaps one or two days per week at each time? I'll use the world clock and try to come up with some suggestions for times.

So I'm in. I'll look for people (at 11:00 am EDT) starting today.

Drat, I returned a bit late from my errands today. But I'm here now, if anyone's interested in chatting.

Yeah! We did it! Thanks to joy-joc, jelena and Louise Lake for showing up in chat today!

The rest of the fambly - the whole rest of the fambly - is welcome.

See y'all soon.

Yes, i agree, i miss chat such a lot!
Thanks again Ali for re-opening & remimnding us all of how much we enjoy each others company!!

Great learning place too

Love Mo x x x

Well, some of us can't even get into chat. When I try to load into it, it just loads up a blank(but blue) screen, and nothing happens. No names, no text, nothing. So until that's fixed, I won't be able to chat. And I have a high end computer now, so that should not be an issue, but even before I upgraded, I haven't been able to get into chat in a very long time.

Hi Fambly,
Long time, no see! I am still out of QT, there are no plans to re-certify or whatever, but as a member of the chat, I am willing to come in on a basis selected by all and have a blast with all of you! I have missed you sorely, but QT aint missed me. Lets get it going again.
MoMo, remember the time you got a bowlful of raspberry jam in your hair?
Also, though we had a wonderful time, many others felt that we were less than dignified in some of our actions. Well if a bunch of "practitioners" can't laugh at themselves, they ain't very good workers,IMHO!
I have always felt that QT should be a fun job-of-work, that taking anything too seriously would suffocate the reason for being as we are.We see a great deal of pain, physical, emotional, and need time to back up a tiny bit to free our own empathic emotions. If it takes talking to each other -"Well, what did you do when the leg began to grow out of the chest?" or throwing egg salad at each other, lets go for it.
The newbies coming in will realize that it is not as serious or dignified as some think it is. More healing takes place when we leave chat laughing than it does when we are once more reminded that as "practitioners" or whatever is such a serious job. IT IS! BUT! Even God laughs at his mistakes, look at us!
I wanna play too.
I can't do an evening chat, but I can during the day or early morning.
We all know I am a klutz with numbers, so someone, please, work out the times and I will scramble to get here. I WANNA LEARN AND PLAY TOO.
Thanks for retrieving the chat from the waste-basket, all.
Much love to all of the people in the fambly.

Hey Lynn, good to see your mugly ug around here.

I'd very much like to join in once in a while but am having XACTLY the same problemo as Eric.

Wish someone could get that straightened out...been to groupee and QT - can't help.
Eric, do you have some kind of WiFi rather than cable or phone or satellite?

Chrissie

I would like to see chat active again but I can usually only show up evenings EDT. Schedule, anyone?

Eric, Chrissie, do you have the latest version of Java installed?

10 am Central and 9 pm Central. Last evening & this morning we had small chats, 3 each, and it was a great start and such a pleasure to see folks! Hopefully we will see you too!

I wish I had some useful words about the problem of not being able to access the chat room, but alas, I do not. I don't have a problem, thankfully, but since the beginning, people in various places have had this issue. I'll write to Jennifer now and see if anything can be identified as the cause of the problem. Stay tuned.

Love to all.

Thanks Ali for putting this together or at least resurrecting it.

See you there when I can

Love you

Hey Fambly!!
I will be dropping in as often as Possible!!! I'm MISSIN All of YOU!!!

Same thing here, cannot get into chat either, some others have posted the same thing. Will try removing it, then reinstalling, any other ideas?
