We need more west coast people, those east coast guys go to bed too soon!
Exactly, by the time I get there all I see are “good night Fred” “Good night Sue Ellen” “Good night John Boy” as one by one the lights turn out.
But I do admit for my part I am absorbed in writing or trying to write so Modeling and all things associated are on a back burner.

We do about the same thing here. we get on sometime late after dinner and no one around.
Now our server ( comcast.net.) is real slow due to all of the fires around Cal. i guess.
We have had a few bad fires around our area to. May have to start filling the resivor/back pond back up again and heck with Ca. save the water crap. lol.
Sorry …glitch… server posted twice here…
So noel and I showed up to chat to find the place locked up. Noel broke in through a window tripped on a few things then stepped in rooster crap before opening the door to let me in and we trashed the place
News flash; cake and ice cream fuels vandals …
Say goodnight DevonBoy
Fred’s back the party is rolling again

Couldn’t have been rooster crap cause I don’t have any windows in my corner. I hate to tell you this but “Bart is known for not using the outhouse.”
Noel …you might just want to throw them shoes in the trash!
On the subject of the Chat Room, I have stopped in many times and very seldom spoke to anyone. I guess I’m not going to give that much time to hoping to chat with someone. I enjoy the forums and that works well for my/our lifestyle.

Dovon. We don’t care what they say. Glad Both of us wash out the floor and cleaned off the crap off of our shoes before anyone showed up…LoL.
Afterwards…We had fun and later on, even had some Easter n’s came in too. " It been a long time since we talked to Bob and Fred…"

Hate to say it but they do still smell. lol.
Ill join in once in a Blue Moon. Honestly with my schedule Its difficult. The time most are on is also the time to get the kids ready for bed and then romance time with the wife (although if I was on chat I might not have knocked her up again) The days I work I don’t get home until after 7. That leaves very little time for anything. I find myself doing more on Facebook because I can use my smart phone, you can use messenger with multiple people.
I will admit it is fun chatting with every and wish I had more time.

Sometimes life just gets busy. And yes, you should not have to bring in your “thick skin.”
i don’t visit the chat here for several reasons. First, if a conversation is going on, I feel like if I post I am interrupting. Also, conversations are usually on-going discussions and I don’t know the background so much of what is said means nothing to me. Second, my typing skills have atrophied to the point I have to spend so long proofreading and correcting that by the time I submit the conversation has moved far past the point at which it is appropriate.
I really enjoyed chat on LSOL, where a group of regulars signed in Tuesday evenings. It was there I became friends with David Maynard, who posts here often, so I know chat rooms can lead to friendships that go beyond this hobby. To get more participation, when a stranger comes in, ask a question or two, like “Do you have any projects now?” or “Do you have an operating layout you can tell us about?” Saying “Jump in” is nice, but often the newbie doesn’t feel like his/her input will be relevant.

Actually Bill that does happen so why not join in ! “Most” of us in chat don’t care about spelling punctuation or grammar. Some just like to look at pictures! Honestly some regulars don’t even know how to post pictures even when we try to help them!

It’s been warm and friendly lately, although I’ve been coming in arout 6-6:30 pdt and no one there…
Greg
I’ll be there tonight if anyone wants to chat…my mother lets me stay up until midnight, if I behave myself…others seem to drop off before 20:00 EST
I use to visit but like some said few there and not much going on. West Coast folks i beat them to bed so another reason not to show up. Yep I’m retired but not into staying up late any more. I am one of those that can not get the hang of posting pics so that takes some of the fun out also. Also have not been around much on any forums. Other interest now also. Later RJD
I’m there waiting…!!
OK, guys, I have read those posts and I will drop by again and say “Howdy.” I didn’t mention it in my previous post but unfamiliarity with the chat software also has deterred me and I often haven’t known how to do the basics. I realize that if I chat more, I will learn the software. I guess I never chatted enough to get comfortable with it.
As far as typos, I’ll try not to fret over them so much, but I do need to proofread. I have an uncanny ability to use the wrong words and enter something easily misunderstood.
One thing that will limit what I have to say is that I have gotten rid of all my train stuff. We will be moving to a condo soon and there just isn’t any place for RR things.
