Do you all have any open chats or anything?

Post by admin »

Just curious! I am having a heck of a time logging in lately.

I could set one up if anyone else is interested.

I do host a chat on my web site every Thursday night. I missed the last two though, last week I got slammed with mid semester exams and this week I am home with my family for spring break and to tell the truth I totally forgot. I was playing cards with my brother and parents. Chat should be again next Thursday. I will post a reminder here Thursday morning with the direct link to the chat.
I look forward to talkikng with you,

Katy, I totally understand how you are feeling. Up until this past September I had never met any one either, not face to face anyway. I found UBPN about 5 years ago now when I was researching bpi for my 9th grade health fair project. I had so many questions then, and still have my moments now as there is so much to learn here. I cant wait to get to know you. Here is the link to the home page of my site so you can check it out if you want www.freewebs.com/bpimn I generally have updates at least once a month, the next update I hope I will be able to post Monday when I am back to college. There is a nava bar at the left, chlick on bpi chat and try to log in so it works for you in Thursday. I know you have to have java to get it to work.

I can't wait for Thursday and I will make sure I remember to post the reminder!

Feel free to ask your questions here too.
Talk to you soon,
