Just a little more on last night’s chat.
Great thanks to RaquelTWG for showing up at 9 and ready to chat. She kindly humored us two eccentric blogging parents that she doesn’t even know and had to go before everyone else arrived.
With 20 bloggers from Miami to Portland, we’re thrilled with how it went. At the suggestion of Brent, we’ll make this a regular thing. How about the same time? We’ll remind you several (hundred) times as Monday nights approach.
So, mark your calendars or tattoo it on your forehead: next chat, Monday, May 19 at 9:00 pm EST!

Some exchanges you might find humorous:
ON MIAMI
cool mum:
so raquel, we need your help…can you teach us any new sayings or words that people use around school that might increase our cool score?
Raquel TWG:
Oh I am NOT cool at all. I’m a bad person to ask. And I live in Miami. We are not really part of the rest of the country.
ON Q-TIPS
Brad Lee:
I prefer to stay away from using name brands for product labels. Q-tips is a specific brand.
cool mum:
Brad–I’m curious what your alternate names for q-tips are
cool dad:
please don’t say ear canal swabs
Brad Lee:
cotton on a stick! Sounds like a fair food that’s not so good to the taste.
Chad Wright:
Ear mops.
Chad Wright:
I’m not even sure we have ear mops in the house. Isn’t that what God made pinky fingers for? Maybe that’s just here in the south.
ON SAVING THIS CHAT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Chad Wright:
So does it save a transcript of the chat?
cool dad:
it stores 5000 posts
cool mum:
the q-tip conversation would be best left as a distant memory
cool dad:
so if you say something and then regret it, you need to post A LOT of times to kick it off
ON OREGON TRAIL
cool mum:
i wonder if oregonians (?) ever get tired of the oregon trail jokes
Tam:
honestly, never heard one
Tam:
throw one at me CM
brody Harper:
I don’t think I have ever heard an Oregon Trail joke
cool dad:
uh oh. pressure’s on
Tam:
haha!
joshua:
there’s oregon trail jokes?
brody Harper:
better be a good one.. ha
cool dad:
i’ll deflect. how about that local sports team??
cool mum:
well tam i hope you make it over the river without sinking your wagon
cool mum:
there that was horrible but at least the pressure is off now!
ON ENTERING THE CHAT
cool dad:
i feel like everyone should have their own entrance music when they first post, like in wrestling
brody Harper:
that would be awesome… like the theme to laverne and shirly
Kat:
This is quite cool…my theme song would be It’s On by superchick.
joshua:
i call the theme music from the jeffersons
cool mum:
oh yeah—definitely Streets for me!
brody Harper:
movin on uuupppp
cool dad:
Rhinestone Cowboy for me!
joshua:
i finally got a piece.. of the pie!!!
Kat:
Brody. Thank you. That song is going to be stuck in my head for hours..
ON LAUGHING OUT LOUD
brody Harper:
I don’t think I have ever LOL’d and that was the first time I have ever typed it
Tam:
i never type LOL
cool dad:
i usually just say ‘ha’
brody Harper:
yeah i don’t want to anymore.. that felt dirty or something
Tam:
me too
cool mum:
good for you brody and tam! i’m all for anti-lol sentiments!
CJ:
