i love chat. all kinds of chat. have met people from all over the world on various chat programs. always fun, mostly nice, a few snarks ..but mostly just fun. the chat program here at the board varies in use. as of this minute it says "live chat 0" on the header here. i've met a few board members via the chat and we exchanged a few pm's. have never ever met or read any snarks on the board chat. i haven't been on it in a long time and really haven't had time last year or so ...busy making dolls and doll clothes etcetc for the grands and sewing for fun. no free time to chat.
