I appreciate her giving her time to it. The hangout is at 6 PM on Fridays. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Terry says that, for a while now, only one other person has been coming by, and sometimes no one. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Can we change that, or has the hangout run its course? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It can be fun to hang out with other crafters, play show-and-tell with our projects, and chat about this and that. It’s more fun in person, but can be OK online or on the phone. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>6 PM is a terrible time for me. I’m fixing or eating dinner, taking care of the dogs, etc. For me, 7 PM would be better. But I realize I’m on the East coast, and people in other places might like a different time. What time might be good? A little later? Some time in the morning, or the afternoon? I know a morning or afternoon time would cut out people who are working. Are those people interested in the hangout? When I was working, at the end of the day I just wanted to flop down and do something mindless, like watch TV. Though I had my knitting in hand while I was watching. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, do people have any ideas? If no one says anything, I will assume there is no more interest in the hangout, and Terry will be free to spend her Friday evening in any way she likes. Though I know she enjoys hanging out when people hang out with her.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tracy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
