Awww! I will be at work then. But that's ok, it's just exciting that he is going to be here! Thank you for arranging this Karey! :)
Thanks Karey, Appreciate the work you've put in and thanks for giving a UK time otherwise I'd still be frowning while you all talked. See you there!
on the events page (where you are asked to respond and whatnot), you have the time listed as 1:00 AM...
Very exciting! I just posted my question. Will we be doing the Q&A here on GR? It's too bad they don't have some sort of chat room or conference room here. For something like this, real-time interaction in a chat format is much more exciting than message board posts.
I'm so excited about this event! Thanks so much Karey for making this visit happen. I'll be there with bells on.
Bill: Will you make sure I got the time coordinate right for the UK? We're basing all this off Neil's time of 1:00 p.m. USA Central.Everyone: Fiona reminded us that here at GR the page doesn't refresh after a post. So, be sure to keep hitting your refresh button regularly to keep up with the Q & A when the time comes. If you'd all like, I can insert little posts to remind everyone by simply typing, "Refresh" or something like that. Maybe that's not necessary?
Becky: Sorry about you being at work! We were hoping this would be a good time for people on lunch break AND for those in the UK so they wouldn't have to stay up late. If there's any chance, I hope to see you there. Thanks for posting a question.
Kathy, Bill and Becky: You're welcome. :)
Just a little hint for Firefox and IE users, F5 refreshes your browser. :)And it's not a problem Karey... I've just been adding more questions. If Neil answers any of them, I will be more than thrilled just reading the thread!
Ok stupid question...I just found out I have to work that day also...will the whole conversation be in a post that we can read later?
Yes, the whole conversation will be in its own thread forevermore!Thanks Karey so much for organizing this! We will all be eternally grateful!
So sorry Lisa Julianna. The weekend didn't work for Neil, and we wanted to make sure it was at a time when readers from the UK could participate without using toothpicks to keep their eyes open.And you're welcome, Laura and all. Thanks so much in advance to Neil!
Karey that's ok...there is no way to have made it for everyone to attend. I just want to be able to read how he responds to everyone's questions.Thank you so much for putting this all together. :~)
I am going to be able to "watch" but am still really glad we'll be able to read it back whenever we want. Of course, I add my heartfelt thanks, Karey.
I'm so glad this is all working out. And hello to Kandice, too.
Yes YES YES !!!THANK YOU SO MUCH NEIL FOR COMING ONLINE AND CHATTING WITH US! CYBER HUGS !!!
Whhhhoooooohoooo, sitting here at 10:56 with my breath baited! (that was not easy to do either, let me assure you!)
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE's HERE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm waiting to hear back on what time will work. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm doin' my little dance. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm clappin' my little hands.
