where is this chat going to be held? Id like to be a volunteer but not for the Jan one Id like to watch for a while and see how its goig to be run.

Jan 15 - how to manage money & overcome the Christmas bills

HOW TO:

CLICK ON TABS TOP OF GRAB: COMMUNITY / BOARDS & CHAT / AGE GROUPS / 40S / JOIN CHAT - A WINDOW WILL OPEN - CHAT WINDOW DONE

tyvm dalee would love to have you as co-host, t/c dd

I might seem Dumb here but how people on time differences work out when the Chat will be as I don;t have a international clock and often forget your day behind us?

So is there a way you could remind us down unders when it is and we can sort the time difference, and day???

Ok I know i sound Blonde but I loose track so easy,

So the time to click on would be Toronto, Ontario:

Eastern standard time: that is the host time

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=250

But if this works good maybe we can host different times but for now... and as for reminding hun, I will post on my friends bulletin monthly for the upcoming chat.

Just remember the 15th each month...8-9est pm.

Hey there stranger....I'd love to co host with ya.
besides, having a wrestler is like having a personal body guard!...lol

Thanks for the Grab mail Deliteful.  I'd be more than happy to both moderate the chat and contribute to the topics at hand.  Time zones may well prove a problem for me being in Australia,  but I will certainly do my best and with gusto.  I love this idea to bring some life to the chats and also the overflow of said chat to the 40's board.

I really hope this takes off.

For now I wish you all a very happy New Year and I truly hope to see many people having fun in 2008.

Cheers guys 

sounds good you can count on me depending on the time.

Dd,

Sounds like a smashing idea, I would love to co-host, but unfortunatly the times and responsibilities clash with my oh-so-often vodka runs & stuff. Best of luck to you and your co host, I will if permitted, stop by every once and so often.

Hugs & stuff
ALWAYS, JR

What times work best everyone?

Keep in mind families with children.

7 - 8 pm

or

8 - 9 pm

Also keep in mind that the guest will probably be a professional outside of Grab.  Or possibly rotate the times every other month.

Sounds great, I'd love to join in.
I'm in england, Which time zone are you in so as i can work out what time chat starts here?

Happy new year too you all.

Deb..xx

Silly me, i worked it out, will be about midnight here...x

Great DD...  Looking forward to it ! 

I've mailed Deliteful with some concerns I have.  I'm sure she will address them and let us know asap.

What ever happens I'm looking forward to meeting a great group of people and lively discussion in the 40's chat on the 15th.  (well that'll be my 16th... but what can I say we Aussies are always one step ahead!)

Cheers till then. 





Edit to add:

Rinky I can not believe you just made two posts in a row. Pace your self girl!  The year is yet young!!!  :P



Edit again to add all seems to be sorted!  Thanks for getting back to me dd. 

To address willow's concern's.

This is very time consuming trying to get a professional on board to volunteer their time. 

Since I am doing this on my own it takes a lot of research & emailing tons of companies.

So, yes it might not work out the first time.  There may not be professionals at each chat.  But, I will do my best to try & get them on board. And there may be times, that they don't show up, or not enough members do.

It's on


Yeh

It's a go please above for the guests for tomorrow night.

Hope to see you all there.

God Bless
dd

Good job girl...I think you are such a special person for getting this done

Sounds great dd, I will be in the chat room..
Hugs FFF Cindy

RE-CAP:

Where to start what do I remember:

Try to consolidate all your credit cards into one low interest loan.

Put your credit card in water in the freezer.

Pay yourself, just like you are a bill.  Into a savings account or RSVP don't touch it.  Let this money grow.

Stocks: buy consumable items, leave them don't touch them until needed 68yrs. old.
