Too fast for me... I tried it and couldn't keep up...
No time to 'proof read' what ya write. (Which I mentally need to do).
Have to be a fast reader, AND remember who wrote what.
Hard for me to keep up with just the reading part... :yikes:

Lucko, SO SORRY to here that!!! Please try again, say hi, I will chat with you. PROMISE! I was new in March and I thought everyone was pretty friendly and was not called a lurker when I was just watching! Many peeps "watch" when new. It is fast paced. We try to involve new chatters in the conversation. Many times peeps never say hi or join in when prompted. The meetings at Crispers are a GREAT way to meet this very nice friendly group! We have become friends and always welcome new people to join in the fun! Give it another try!

Hey, Lucko, sorry to hear that. I wouldn't ever do that. Come back, give us another chance. Yes we are kinda nuts in there. You can come in and just watch anytime. Soon you'll be addicted too..

Lucko.

I pride myself on fast reading, but I can't keep up in the chat room. BUT every time I try to just sneak in, every one says HI GRACIE. I say Hi back and just read. Many live there already and have day to day events to share, but I have never felt left out. When I ask a question, people are very quick to explain what has happened or will happen. I even invited myself to a dinner that was being planned last time we were down. No one made us feel anything but welcomed.

Verrry sorry to hear that your first introduction to chat left you with a negative impression. By the way, "Lurker" is not a derogatory term it's just a word used to describe someone who's hanging around. It may seem as if it's a few of us dominating the room but in reality we all chat with whomever is in the room at the time. Folks jump in and folks jump out at will. What you will notice is that some folks type faster than others thus you see input from those "hyper typers" faster and more frequently than someone who types at my pace which kind of looks like this:
__________________________________________________ ______________

Me: Hi All
#1: Hi Punkpup
#2: Hi Punkie
#3: Hi Pup
#4: Hi PP
#5: Woof
#6: Howdy Pup
#7: Long time no see Pup
#8: What's happenin' Punk?
Me: Oh not much, just work
#1: Not that!!! that's a dirty word
#7: No 4 letter words in here pup
#3: I'm so glad I'm done with that. Oh to be retired!!!
#2: When are coming back to TV pup
#7: We'll be in TV for Halloween
#2: How are the Halloween convoy plans coming along?
#5: Anyone decided on what they're going to wear?
Me: Doesn't look like I'll be in TV anytime soon
Etc, Etc, Etc
The more the merrier; the only downside to that is trying to keep up with the reading and then trying to respond lol.
And no, no one minds if you want to lurk.

Honestly....do we really even talk about anything in there??? Just a bunch of friendly folks caring on about 20 different conversations about nothing...could be a script for Seinfeld....
Last night I believe i stated that I was "lost" about 10 times....and everyone just laughed at me!
