18:59:20 jackiegerstein: Hey it's the old chat room!

18:59:29 sheila: I can float now!  :)

19:00:50 jackiegerstein: LOL

19:01:16 PeggyG: home sweet home :-) Hi everyone!

19:01:26 jackiegerstein: Hey Peggy

19:01:27 PeggyG: so happy to see this chat room!!!!!!!

19:01:36 jackiegerstein: Me too

19:01:41 mrsdurff: could it be true?

19:01:47 Gary: Back to "normal" whatever that means.

19:02:01 jackiegerstein: As the chat room visitors sigh with relief

19:02:12 jackiegerstein: creatures of habit

19:02:32 PeggyG: I'm thrilled to have the old chat back after the very challenging experience with it on K12 Online Fireside Chat

19:02:41 mrsdurff: Could this all be a dream?

19:02:59 mrsdurff: someone pinch me

19:03:25 PeggyG: I love the format of the show--new links and commentary are always helpful!

19:03:27 mrsdurff: we like it or we wouldn't be here

19:03:32 jackiegerstein: I think there is just too many live webinars, elluminate sessions, Second Life events in the metaverse now

19:03:48 sheila: Works for me! I know others who can't be here do download audio for later. 

19:03:50 mrsdurff: never too many

19:04:08 sheila: Like the timing of it too!

19:04:08 PeggyG: you find things I don't find even with twitter and Diigo and my PLN--I always look forward to it!

19:04:16 jackiegerstein: I still like hearing all of the links - what I am saying is that it is not the format but just lots out there

19:04:36 mrsdurff: i look forward to getting together with everyone

19:05:08 PeggyG: the conversation always enhances the shared links, even if you haven't had a chance to explore them in depth before you share them

19:05:15 sheila: So is audio going in and out for others or is it just me. (oh,no I hope not)

19:05:20 jackiegerstein: LOL - folks are jumping on the text color change because they can in this chat!

19:05:26 PeggyG: audio is good for me Sheila
