This is for any girls out there...sorry Laz, not to exclude you, but...you know how us girls like our "girl talk."
Would anyone be interested in a phone tree? I had a lovely chat with gennysmom today, and in my recovery it is so helpful to talk sometimes. I've also been in touch with Cheryl and Rory, and really enjoy the one-on-one. Some days I'm just too tired or lacking energy to write. I love the cruisin threads, but man, I can't compete with you natural born storyteller/writers out there--we have some prizewinners in the group!
Maybe we could even set up a weekly group call--just a thought.
If anyone's interested, let me know. I can collect the numbers, but probably wouldn't be the one to set up a conference call--not that savvy. My only restriction is hours--I have a Verizon cell and free minutes are after 9 pm and weekends.
Thanks to everyone for being on this forum.

Thanks Nan, twas lovely, wasn't it. So was the Friday night 4 way. As much as I love being here on the boards and finding out info, it was very nice to "connect" with Nan, Phyl, Deb, and Batty, and put a voice to the words and photos that are out there. Made us even more real. Nan...you have my numbers and feel free to share them. You take care, and can't wait to see ya when you get back from MN! :D
-
I def enjoy my friday night call...I get lonely sometimes no one here seems to understand what I'm going through. I went out sat night to an old haunt and no one recoginzed me or knew what to say other than..."my you aren't yourself anymore". So count me in Nan!
-
Hi Nan - would love to!
matti

Count me in... I can do conference calls on my mobile phones (I figured out how to do one of the phones, need to confirm the set up on the other). I have Verizon on one mobile, so anyone in "Friends/Family"? Let me know. :)
Nan, I'm in and would LOVE to say hi! :)
-
Nan,
I would love to be included, although I am not sure how the conference call thing works? I'll send you my contact numbers.
-
Oh Yeah!
Friday Night with the Wacky Wenches--a long distance Pajama Party! Sound like a good time ta me!
Yer Fearless Captain 8)
-
Yeaaaaa-Capt Deb is here, too.
Sorry, I forgot, does Friday night work better for everyone, versus Wednesday? We may have to do a threesome and foursome since we now have 7--tee hee.
Nan
-
Wednesday is my night with Sawyer! No way and I leavin' him for you lot!
Capt Deb
-
Okay, so let's make it Friday night--is 7 pm PST too late? If so, let's make it 6.
Nan
-
7pm PST is 10pm EST.... unless Mel Gibson or Brad Pitt show up, I'm game... I need to know who I need to get on my cellphones for part of the connection.. and if any of you have Verizon on your mobile, even better!
HEY! CB! Want us to call you? It will be 4am for you! I could do it, ya know? :) :-*
-
HEY! CB! Want us to call you? It will be 4am for you! I could do it, ya know? :) :-*
You could and talk to my ansaphone ;D It would make more sense than me at that time on Friday/Saturday ;)
-
oh, come on, my bloke! don't you want to get all chatty with us Friday night? Remind me to buy you a new phone next trip over... it needs to be next to the bed (you know, in case I have an emergency!) and not on the living room wall!
Pweeeeeze??? Pweety plu-eeeeze???? :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I'd be interested. Who do i send my number to?
Denise

Denise
Denise, if you want and are comfortable, you can email it to me. I will keep a list of all numbers.
Can anyone else do 3-way calls from their mobile phones? I have 2 phones that can, so I can take a few folks on my phones... anyone else?
-
If mine does, honestly, it's beyond my knowledge on how to do it :(
We need to advertise for some techie nerds to help us with this. Or we could do some kind of sign up grid with those who are really needing the voice reassurance speaking up for first dibs.
-
I can do the techie-nerd... just need to know who all has 3-way call capabilities to do this! :)
-
Hello again,
I can also do three-way on my cell, but maybe Phyl or another person can do one from hers/theirs, also, totalling six people.
Not to make this too complicated...I don't know how many we should have on each call--to give everyone a chance to talk, maybe six is the max per call? Is that too many? Or we could have two calls/week, with different groups for each call? I don't want anyone to feel obligated to participate, but at the same time it would give me, for one, something to look forward to...
What does everyone think?
-
Nan, if you and I can do 3-way calls on 3 phones (I got 2, you got 1), I think we are great! Does your phone have a speaker phone on it? My 2 mobiles have speaker phones, which made it easier for all to hear each other.,.. and last week, I even learned when not to speak so others could! (I know! I know! Unheardof!!!!!!)
So, if you have speaker phone and 3-way call, what I can do is get 2 people on one of my mobiles, get 1 more on my 2nd, then call you from my 2nd. So, I would have 3 people, then myself, for 4 total. I can call you, which makes 5, then you call another to make 6.
If anyone else has 3-way dialing, please let me know! This will be easier than it sounds, trust me! :)
Phyl

Phyl were you a phone operator in your previous life? You know yahoo has voice software all you need is a headset and we should all be able to talk through the computer??
-
I do have Skype...anyone else got Skype? That works as well! :) Great idea battywench!
...and no... but, I do technology for a living AND am office mgr so I set up these things all the time.... :)
-
Boy, Phyl, I'm in the dark ages next to you! I don't think I have a speaker phone, but I can manage calling one person... :D
So, since I can't do this without you ;D, do you want to let us know on Thursday if you can do it on Friday night? Need a vote on 6 or 7 pm PST.
I've got phone numbers for two, plus me, so we still need Cap'n Deb and Batty--you may have those. I gave you mine.
This is exciting! Oops, guess we know how fun-filled Nan's days are...but hey, I made chicken soup today--a very big deal for me. :)

Hi "girls only site"
Thought I'd but in here. be careful with skype, its like msn messenger. Once you log in, you are open to very nasty attacks that will destroy your machines. Skype has serious security flaws and MSN messenger - well, i told my daughter not to use it, so as a good teenager, she did - typical. In 5 minutes, she had 42 serious spyware infections and 4 viruses attempts. The viruses were stopped but the spyware got through. One of those spywares was impossible to remove - I used 4 commercial anti spyware products but it wouldn't let go so i had to completely re build her machine.
Sorry to intervene but just had to have a peeky boo at what you wild wenches are up to.

Yikes!
Dr. Love and I live up in the mountains and our cells only work if we go outside or if I moosh my head on the window upstairs. Cuts out all the time too. Unfortunately it is our only long-distance out-go--we OH MY! I'm watching a video on VH1 country that was filmed on ST. John! Some cutie rollin on the beach with his honey a la "From Here to Eternity." Looks like fun!
Oh where was I, oh yes. Our land line doesn't call out long distance. OH MY--Billy Currington is in the video--well we'll have to go get him, too won't we! Oh where was I, oh yes anyway--so someone will have to call me till we get more powerful cells--OH MY! Keith is on now-he's got great hair! Cute bunz, too and he plays the banjo!
Jeez--my short term memory loss makes me forget to take my ADD medicine!
Call me!
What were we talking about?
Captain Deb
-
Thanks, Laz, for the info. I don't know about Skype, I may not even have a computer in a month--long story. Have to figure it out--this forum is one of my lifelines....
Cap'n Deb, so we can call in to your cell? 10 pm too late on Friday, or is it okay?
Nan
-
You'll have to call my land-line--Phyll has the # my cell is just to unreliable here! 10:00 is just great for me!
CD
-
Laz,
Does Skype have a patch for the security issues yet? I use it for work at well (on my office computer to talk to my rep in London... NO, not the CB but my actual sales rep)......
Deb, got that #. You're all set!
Nan, 10pm PST works for me (ok, 6pm for all you East Coast folks!)
Ok, please make official list here of who all wants in on the call Friday night so I can try to coordinate the calls, ok?
1. Me! :)
2. Nan
3. Capt'n Deb
4. DeniseSmith
5. Gennysmom?
6. Batty-wench?
folks, post if you want to join us! Thanks!
P
-
Yes count the wench in...I wanna be the princess..I was having so much fun as the princess!
-
Of course I'm in! I'm always here for all you wenches!
-
okay, sounds good for me.
Friday 3/31, 7:00pm CST right?
i will have to remember to put my phone in my pocket, so i will hear or feel it ringing. don't know about you guys but even on the loudest ring i have no clue. my son is always saying your purse is ringing. love those 13 year olds!
-
Okay, here's the deal on the time: 7 pm PST (Seattle), 9 pm CST (midwest), 10 pm EST (east coast).
Phyl, I have two more for us--Matti and Shoegirl. I'll give you their numbers. That makes 8--can we do it?
Kathleen, conferencing is pretty easy. You just call one person, when you have them on the line you dial the second number and hit send--when you have the 2nd person on the line you hit send again to get the first person on, too. Mind you, I haven't tried it yet--Friday will be a first. Do you want to give it a try? I can then conference you and one other person--whew, that Yahoo thing would be great.
A sign up grid is a good idea. All who want to be on the Friday night call, please post.
This ought to be quite the interesting challenge! Did I create a monster?
Nan
-
All I can say is this should be interesting. Be forewarned....Deb and Batty were on one cell and I was on another at Phyl's house and she had to position the phones just right for me to be able to hear Deb and Batty, and sometimes she had to translate for me...so with 6 + wenches talking over each other, if you are already dizzy, your head may be spinnin' even more. We just did our best and had a great time. I'll have my cell all charged up and ready on Friday and lets see if we can get this baby to work!
-
By the way, Phyl, when everyone's confirmed, let's plan on calling people on their land lines (except me, I only have a cell).
Confirmed so far:
Nan
Gennysmom
Phyl
Cap'n Deb
Batty
Waiting on confirmation:
Shoegirl
Matti
Denise
I didn't use first names for everybody--didn't know if all were comfortable with it...!
Nan
-
Hi Girls,
I am definitely in but not for this Friday, I am taking the kiddies to Disneyland. Please count me in for next week. Thanks!
-
Shoegirl--Have a WONDERFUL time at Disneyland! We'll see how this conference thing works...
Phyl, did I mention diminished brain capacity is one of my side effects!? :( Since you have a fully-functioning brain, we may have 7 people, if Matti confirms. Can this be done?
Nan
-
Nan - I would love to join you all on friday. I do have some plans around 7:30 (PST) but I am available until then. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Matti
-
Matti,
Is it okay for me to give your number out to the other "girls"?
Looking forward to this, hope we can get it to work!
Nan
-
Anyone can use my real name anytime...Kathleen or Kat, but no Kathy.
-
Nan - Yes you can give my numbers out.ÂÂ
Cheryl
-
heck, I'm just going to call you "chattykat"! :-*
Ok, compiling all names and numbers for Friday night.. and my previous typo re: time differences. Nan is correct
7pm PST
9pm CST
10pm EST
kewl with everyone?
HEY, CB! Do you want us to call you? It'll be 4am for you! :D :-* :-* :-*
Anyone can use my real name anytime...Kathleen or Kat, but no Kathy.ÂÂ
-
Sounds good to me.
and Denise is my real first name. I am so creative in my sign ons! NOT!!!!!
-
Count me in too.
-
Count me in too...battyprincess...we need to squash battywench lol
-
Batty!!! Welcome back!!!! We missed you!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm confused--I thought BP Wench was the same as Batty!
Now we have cakes, too. Phyl, that makes 8 (or 9--Batty AND BP Wench?)--don't think we can swing it. Should we do two groups of 4 instead, or one group of 4 and one group of 5???
I wish we could use Verizon for a conference call, but it would cost us....maybe I'll check into it, anyway.
Your thoughts, please. Thanks for your problem-solving, Phyl. :-\
Nan
-
HI Nan,
Battyprincess is also Battywench. I got my original screen name back today so I'll be using battyprincess again.
I'm michelle when not playing the batty princess lol ;D
-
Well, Dearie, Yer just plain Batty to me!
-
I resemble that remark lol
-
UPDATE:
Ah, I have compiled a database of all phone numbers and names for those that want in on this... too kewl, eh? ;D BTW, just spoke on the phone with TigerMaiden and she wants in as well! :)
Ok, the list, as I have it is as follows:
Battyprincess
Gennysmom
nannettesea
DeniseSmith
matti
TigerMaiden
Captn Deb
thecakes
Phyl the Pill
I need phone numbers for the following:
the cakes
Captn Deb (gawd help me but I lost it! Hit me later!)
Now, I have mulitple numbers for:
Gennysmom
matti
I need to know which number to use for each of you! :)
Now, I can conference 2 on one phone, 2 on another... TigerMaiden told me she can get 2 others on her phone... can anyone else? I need one more that can... plu-eeeeeeeze!
So far, so good.....just let me know so I know who to call and where.
:)
-
I talked to Nan yesterday, and the plan at the time was that she'd call you, Phyl, then call me to conference, then I would call Matti and get her in and hope it all works. I'm not sure that you can chain 3 ways, but we're going to try.
-
Nan here-
I will wait for Phyl to call me. I don't know if I can still 3-way when someone calls me...Kathleen, then I will call you....
By the way, if anyone doesn't get called, it means we are having difficulty patching everyone in. If you don't hear from us at the designated time, one of us will call you at some point during or after the call. Does that sound good?
This will be a miracle if it works!
Nan
-
If I can't get Matti conferenced, then I will call her with my landline and let her know.
-
I am really sad!!! I can't make it tonight, my plans that were for 7:30 have been moved to 6:30. I was hoping to be able to chat at 7:00 for a few minutes with all of you. I have been so excited and looking forward to finally meeting everyone.
I will definetly be available next Friday, Please, please include me.
I am sorry, I know you have worked hard trying to configure all this, hope I didn't mess it up.
Have a great chat and I will hopefully talk with you next week.
I am sad :( :( :( :( :( :(
matti
-
we have a conference call that if you have free long distance you can get in on if you call in the next little bit...call 605-725-3600 and the password is 86483
-
OhNO Mr. Bill--my phone just crapped out!!!!! I guess the battery lost its charge or I got cut off somehow--it was great, you guys--my first 6 way!!!!!!!
Capt Deb
-
No Good Morning email from Phyll :'( , you all must still be on the phone ::) ;) ;D
-
Now she left to go talk to you...she even broke up the party early to talk to you!!! Dont' you feel special?
-
I'm a very especially lucky person to have Phyll in my life :)
Everyone here is very special in the support they provide for each other.
Now she left to go talk to you...she even broke up the party early to talk to you!!! Dont' you feel special?
-
One day when we get you on this side of the pond we need to plan a big meet and greet party!
-
I second that motion, all in favor say Aye! You know what we all need to do is go in on some of those Megamillions tickets together and get a centrally located place (like the Virgins) and then we could just have a big party for us twice a year there and other times everyone could take turns with their families there. Wouldn't that just rock?
-
I like the way you think Kathleen!
-
Hi all
Capt deb visited by evil migraine fairy today--ycucky-poo! :( Was last nite as good for you as it was for me?
Catch y'all tomorrow--going back ta bed!
CD 8)
-
Sorry to hear it Cap'n. :( Get your rest and hopefully will see you tomorrow--last nite WAS fun!
Nan
-
Oh, no Captain! Hopes we didn't make the monster come from having to have ye pressed against yer glass. Get better soon!!!!
OK, so who lives in a Megamillions/Powerball state? I don't, so I'm out. Heck, if we can do a killer conference call, WE CAN DO ANYTHING! We be the tough wench girlies of the Dread Pirate Ship Princess Battywench!
-
Mum, Yer fergot the AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I apologize for missing the phone call ladies,
I forgot about the call and didn't hear my phone!
I hope you all had a great conversation!
Denise

Denise you'll have to join us this Friday...who was setting up the confernce call?
