WHEW! Then I guess, Marvin, that I'm off the hook for all those nasty things I said to @W when I got no response to my oh-so-delightful greeting, huh? <grin> Being a typical "nite owl," ain't no one EVER gonna see ME in an a.m. chat, no how, no way! <giggle> But I'll try to drop by during "prime-time" evening hours, which is an hour earlier for me than the times you listed, 'cause I live on the West Coast and we're on Pacific Standard Time. See ya online...

If she/he/it (in fact @W is a program provided by the channel service) ever does run, don't walk, to the nearest exit. The best time to find someone on the channel is between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm Central Standard Time (United states). As we have regular visitors from Holland, Australia(sp), and England there may be other "active times" that I'm not aware of. There is also a "breakfast club" that logs on around 6:30 am CST(U.S.). This morning I dropped in because I needed a bit of emotional reinforcement (the pd being a bit more pronounced than usual) and was treated to a warm greeting and many hugs. I left with the opinion that things were not all that bad. :) #parkinsons is a 24 hour channel. It is present whenever @W is there. If @W is not present then the channel is created whenever someone connects to an IRC server and types /join #parkinsons Actually, typing poetry into the channel is how I spent many hours until the channel became known to others. Hang in there, you meet some people eventually *grin*. How knows, you may even start your own group :)
