[QUOTE=Trish Crocker;471783]I was searching old posts after hearing about Donna passing because I wanted to learn a little more about her. I wish I had been given the opportunity to get to know her, she seemed sweet and a lot of fun. While looking at the various threads something else struck me...
TOTV was more fun! I'm not saying that everyone on here isn't wonderful and most are extremely kind, I'm just saying that it seems like is has gotten more serious, less laughs. Maybe it's because many of the people that posted on here knew each other better, maybe the
chat rooms we hear about contributed to that?
How can we get that back?? Can we?? I'm looking forward to meeting some of you at the next Crispers meet in April..and I hope a lot of you will be there. It will be great to actually put faces to the names. In the interest of getting more fun to this site, how about if everyone posts their funniest joke? I'll start..(ok, it's not the funniest, but the others would be censored
)
Trish, I think your onto something. JMHO, but in the past we had a very strong camaraderie with our fellow posters, there was an air of happiness, not just jokes or information, but true friendship. The chat room certainly had a big hand to play in that. I like your idea of posting jokes, but it wasn't only jokes that made for the strong friendships. In Donna's case it was the true caring and lightheartedness of her posts and her dazzlers and smilies that she introduced us to.
It would be nice to get the chat room back and running but we would have to promise to use it, I would think. It was only recently deleted, and I'm sure because no one was on their but Mik. What we used to do was to set up dates on a thread about meeting in the chat room at a certain time so that all would be there at once... Wanna try that? If you think its worth it, I will be happy to post something. With the time differences, we would select an east coast time that would work for most of the posters wherever they lived. Let me know if you guys want to restart that.
Thanks, KathieI
