Let's Chat!!

Several people have mentioned irc channels devoted to IBD lately, and others have asked about them. I've never cared for that stuff, personally, and so I haven't kept up with it much. But I can't let my prejudices get in the way of progress now, can I? (I remember reading one message from someone who logged in to one channel called #cd hoping to talk about living with Crohns Disease, and logged out when he realized everyone else was talking about cross dressing.)

So here's the first of what I hope will be several updates about available chat channels. I gather there are a bunch, and I will leave it to all of you afficianados to figure out which ones to patronize. But I hope people will write to me to let me know of the others. If you do write, please be sure to give lots of information. Remember, there are a lot of people getting computers these days who don't know everything, and need help getting started with this stuff.

So, without further ado, here's the first Announcement.

COME ONE, COME ALL!!!

Wanna b**ch and moan? Or would you just like to talk to others who live with the same garbage you do?

Let's get together on #CDUC_Support on DALNet.

I've set up a regular time: Mondays, 8pm-9pm CST.

Hope to see you soon!
