Don't you guys have anything better to do to ring in the New Year besides log into AQ? =)

For those of you who don't, look for me in the chat room. I'll pop in periodically through the night becaues *I* for one, do NOT have anything better to do. =)

Holy jumpin' junipers! It's been awhile since I was last in the chat room! It's been MAJORLY upgraded since it was first included on the toolbar! If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth checking out again! =)

Nope! What IS better than logging in to AQ?

January 2nd is supposed to be warm, maybe a little rain, but from what the forecasters are saying, it will be a great day to go letterboxing. We are heading to points northwest to find about 15 boxes and check up on one of mine. The creeks are swollen now, so we will stay clear from the mighty Wabash river.

Happy New Year to All, and to all a good night.

You'll need to download and install the Atlas Quest toolbar at http://atlasquest.ourtoolbar.com/

Actually, that is what I will be doing here in Seattle!! on New Years Day. Nothing but Football on the TV and although the weather will be a little iffy, Starting the New Year off by letterboxing sounds perfect.

Drinking champagne with family and friends, watching the streaming video of the fireworks display in Sydney, planning our new PLB ring, and the stamps we still need to carve for other rings, playing favorite music, lighting candles for friends and goals old and new...

Well, my son's at a sleepover (Sleep. Yeah, right, like THAT'll happen!) at his karate studio, so the husband and I went to the movies, but now we're home, and no, nothing better to do!

Can't chat with you, though. We've got a Mac.

Prob'ly watch the ball drop, then go to sleep.

But letterboxing tomorrow . . . Hmmm. That sounds worthwhile.

Okay, it looks like any browser can use the chat room! I just had to find the right URL that would take you to it!

For all you Windows ME or Mac users out there, try going to http://chat.effectivebrand.com/chat/chat.aspx?ctid=CT133053&uid=UN20050911221253687 and see if you can get in okay. =)

Well, it LOOKS that way, but when I click on "start," nothing happens.

I'll just sit here and kill this entire bottle of sparkling cider. Whoo Hoo! Do I know how to live, or what?

Hmm.... Most unfortunate. I was hoping it was just the toolbar wouldn't installl, rather than the chat page. Did you try a different browser? It still might be possible to log in if the stars are aligned just right! =)

I tried Safari and IE. I guess I could try the AOL browser, but that's usually the worst of the three of them when it comes to connecting to anything.

Wonder of wonders, the AOL browser worked better. I can get TO the chat from there, but it won't post anything for me!

LOL! I think I'm just not meant to chat tonight!

When did Dick Clark have a stroke!!?? I had no idea!
I was about to cry when he came on to do commentary and talked about all his rehabilitation this year.

Happy New Year INDEED!

You're kidding. It was not too long before New Year's last year. That's why he couldn't do the show last year, and Regis Philbin filled in.

I didn't know either that he had a stroke. My husband asked "What is wrong with Dick Clark?" I said that it sounded like he had a stroke. Wow, I did not know.

Did anyone see him on the show last night? I don't recall seeing him, but they said he was at a desk out there for the countdown...?

Yes, we got back from the movies just in time for his first appearance. He did the countdown, and then he appeared to announce some of the acts from California every now and then. His speech was slurred, but he did pretty darned well, all things considered, I thought.

I truly had no idea. I can't even remember where I was last year for New Years Eve. I certainly wasn't paying attention to Regis. --I just looked it up and I was working on New Years Eve. Inflight from Seattle to Philly at midnight, so definitely not watching TV.

Oh well, at least he didn't die or anything. I hate it when I find out that someone I thought was alive and well has been dead for a couple of years!

I thought it was very touching and inspiring that Dick Clark had worked on his rehabilitation so much to be able to come out and perform this year. Awesome!
