    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    Lag issues?
    I really haven't experienced the "lag time" thing. I think perhaps some of our older members may actually be nodding off at the keyboard. Hence the lag?

    the chatroom has had lag issues quite a bit lately, so it's probably not just you!

    old dog can't learn those new trix... the only Firefox I ever heard of was a piss poor Clint Eastwood movie, or was it Tommy Cruise... the only Java I know comes from beans. you know, a cup of 'Joe' ( -; seriously, though, not a big deal really to borrow her 'puter, and as I remember, I think I got up to Panther on the Mac software, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, so I am outdated again, because the original version wouldn't run a newer ipod or something like that. thanks for the advice and helpful hints. and once you go Mac, you never go back! what's better than a Mac in your lap? (please fill in the blanks with a sure to be deleted by the moderator POOR TASTE joke) yuk yuk yuk peace.

    Hey Joe
    Where you goin' with that Mac in your hands? Chat works fine with Firefox on linux, so it's certainly not "Windoze Only." The chatroom is heavily dependent on a browser technology called Javascript, though, and if it's been a while since you updated your web browser software then that may be the issue. Just makin' a suggestion, that's all. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    was slow the other day, too. Tiger Lilly and I were in a kind of Frick and Frack bit, going back and forth between slow private messages and trying to use the chat troom. are you here? are YOU here?... also, this may be, probably, a local issue, but on my old iboook Mac, 2001 version, I can't chat at all. I can see and use the forum,no problemo, but I can't read the chat stuff or write on it. My old lady's 'puter is windows, some old HP piece of shit lap top, but that works fine with chat. is the chat windows only?? seems unfair if so. I'm frigging Steve Jobs over here. ( -:

    I've reported to Jonathan that things are not just exactly perfect. Bummer, because it was working great for a while there. Oh well! Thanks for the heads up.

First off, Deadant, take a chill-pill, as I've got a few months to hammer away and tell you the story you so eloquently requested a few days ago(before the Seahawks crashed and burned in that wee little football game on Sunday); And Marye, thanks for putting up this pseudo-use-when-necessary-because-the-chat-line-crashes area...cause I think it might be a politically correct place to tell this story; I was bonafidely (new word, Deadant) starting to tell this story when the chat crashed twice...so if the story police are monitoring this bit of cyberspace, it is legal, necessary, and altogether appropriate to continue it here. DeadGeek said the chat crashes if you type too fast, or walk and chew gum at the same time, or whistle Dixie in Boston... PS, Any of you other Deadheads reading this story, start at the bottom where Deadant whines and work yourself up, or go take out the recycling or build a house of cards, cause this old deadhead might ramble on, just like the rose Jerry sang about. ....our story continues...25,000 deadheads roll into town, and where can they stay on this dusty mountainside...onsite, of course, but where does the band stay? In the Motel 6 at the corner? No, I think not...for they are Rock Stars! They gotta be cooler than that. How about a wilderness resort, run by hippies who stepped back in time back in the early early 70's and bought a bunch of land way out in the middle of no-where...Sure, that's the ticket. And the roads are winding dirt bumpy narrow and almost non-existent, so you can kiss the limousines goodby, as a long bed pick-up couldn't traverse those roads. I know, Jim said, let's helicopter them in and have them land over there, next to our tomato garden and corn-field. It'll be cool! And that, my friends is the beginning of how the Grateful Dead hooked up with some long time, laid back hippies, not ne'er-do-wells, but certainly some were nefarious but still kind folks, and started a catering company out of a couple of pot and pans with two or three world-class chefs who had found out about the mountain hide-away, took said catering company on the road with a bunch of dead-heads and hangers-on, and built a small but casual and friendly empire, called Avery Ranch catering, and catered to the good old Grateful Ded as their personal chefs for the next five plus years... Who is Jim you might ask, and what was Avery Ranch, and did they/we/I have fun, did the bus run well? Did Bobby really want 6 bottles of Montrachet' Chardonnay,1989, no other year, no other brand, did Jerry like hot-dogs, who wanted the Apple Pie the most? What about the mountain of M & Ms? And Nilla-Vanilla wafer at 2 AM, are you kidding me? Those stories may or not be told as others remember them, but for me, I gladly hopped on that bus and rode, drove, pushed, sang and danced my way along that ride for a good five years, and I'll share some of those with you if that's alright, just to pass some time while we wait for tickets....more later, ok? Peace...G

How can i chill with these awesome stories! I am sorry. I type a character that is more colorful then he actually is) I love your stories, they are appreciated, as is your advice, tempo and beat. I promise I am calm/chill and relaxed as can be. I like to create an air of situation in words to break some of the mundane minutes of my day tis all. I take advantage of this internet and sometimes fill it with challenging/immature material, on purpose, but not with the intent to elicit anything negative. Though I could see how that could be. Chill I shall, as i patiently await the next chapter with baited text)

Hey oh fine Ant- I take your chat and comment shenanigans with all good grace, well-being and twinkle of spirit, as I'm sure that's how you mean it. Perhaps I can match my mundane-ness and willy-nilly-but-never-chilly posting with yours...we will see, as we continue "...going down the road feeling baaaaddddd" (which is good). Tis a grateful day...be well...till later...gotta mine salt all day. G

the shakedown cruise/beta test of our new improved chat room. We're hoping it proves a bit more stable than the old one. Check it out and let us know how it's working for you. Thanks!

seems to have been too much for the chat room, which is currently MIA. I've got a note in to the tech folks. Thank you!
