Where my cats are
I don't have a mic or anything yet. If I get one I'd probably join in. I'm not too predictable on weekends either. I typically don't get up till late so I haven't been on here yet to remind myself of things like this. I guess since I thought I'd need to talk I didn't pay much attention.

Could it be to do with the fact you guys are about 16 hours behind me?

You can still listen in (with speakers/headphones) without a mic and if you don't have speakers / headphones - there is also a text chat where you can chat with members and ask questions to be read in the voice chat

I'd love to, but I have 2 reasons.

1, I don't have the proper stuff on my comp. I do have skype.. but I have never used the voice and if I did with mulitple people talking, I bet my computer would crash.. something that could be tested though.

2, I am busier on weekends with the rescue than I am weekdays... and the chats have only been on the weekends. And the rescue is the priority.

I have wanted to join in. especially on the last one.. but was far to busy to even consider it.

I missed the last chat because I slept too late
. I'm about to download Skype when I'm done typing this, but I have one concern. I can't PM so would I be able to even join in? I suppose I could email.

I'm with Leto....I'm usually at the rescue on the weekends & they are my priority. It's also end of semester. Depending on when the next one is, I really hope to be able to join in. I was peeved that I couldn't be in on the first two, actually!

I work most Sundays 7AM to 7PM so I'm just not available. I also didn't think that I would use Skype for anything more than just those chats so don't want to dl it just for that.

I wasnt able to attend either but I do have a reason

I was stuck babysitting
! I was babysitting my niece who is 3 (4 in July) My nephews (7 and soon to be 3)!

So both weekends I was babysitting (I have actually been babysitting every weekend since march
, aren't I such a nice sister
)

But hopefully next time we have one I will be home and able to attend


I was really into it and thought it was such a great idea
I was so bummed when I was told I had to babysit that weekend and well at the time of both broadcasts I was babysitting

Honestly, I don't have a mic/earphones thingie. If it was typing, I'd be down, I but can't afford a headset.

I didn't go to the first one because I was busy. I did go to the second one because I was interested in the topic.

Id love to join in....but the soundcard on my card is
so when I try to use speakers or a mic or a headset...nothing works


Just read that I can still join in the live chat though - so I'll be there next time when its a relevant topic
