Does anyone else not chat??

I don't use any chat clients either. The last one I had (yahoo) made my laptop crash so I am not chancing it with another chat client. And like you said who has time. Scrappin' takes enough of my time as it is I don't need another reason to be online, LOL!

I surely can't be in trouble for being the hello snob that you accuse me of being daily...LOL, you are gonna be in BIG Trouble when I am only on yahoo.

Ohhh I do talk to Amber and Jenny too...but they are annoying so I didn't mention them in my OP.
LOL-JK girls, ya know I love ya!
 
I'm so new here barely anyone really knows me,lol. But I've had yahoo and msn ims forever, tho yahoo's not installed on this pc. I am not a constant scrapper nor are my days jam packed. And I do have my msn open most the time. Chatting's like anything else, different strokes for different folks.
I'll chat with most anyone and know that if folks disappear they've a reason and it doesn't phase me one bit. But do I chat a lot? Not really. But I do enjoy getting to know people.
 
I don't chat either for a couple of the reasons already mentioned -- what do you do if you need to be in and out? Just leave? or do you constantly have to be saying hello and goodbye? how does that work?

I also have the "what if they don't really want to talk with me?" paranoia!
 
I chat in the chat rooms at night here Fridays. Other than that, the only chatting I do is at work with my co-workers (we have a company-wide IM/chat program). I don't have any chat program on my home computer...

I would love to chat with my CTs & such, but since Hello wasn't Mac compatible, I just got used to being out of the loop. I have an AIM account for iChat but I hardly use it. It takes up too much time, and I feel like I have to stay at my computer. And I don't get enough done as it is. But I may join in at sometime since I am a sucker for peer pressure :p

Me too. I have a Mac and became used to being out of the Hello loop. However, I still don't think that I would chat and scrap. I would never get anything done! I already get distracted either watching TV or surfing the boards/galleries when I'm trying to scrap, so adding chat to that would just mean I'd never get my pages done. :p
 
Another non-chatter here. :) I had Hello installed and enjoyed it for feedback/screenshots when I was designing, but I really just stick with IM for quick notes from family and IRL friends. I just don't make time for it and like doing other things instead (like scrapping). LOL
 
I used to not chat, Sarah, because back when Hello first came out and everyone was getting it, I thought, "I do not need one more thing to eat up my time!" Big mistake on my part; I could have been cool soooo much sooner, lol.

Now I don't browse forums as much because I get the goods from my friends on Hello. So chatting doesn't make me spend more time on the computer; it just helps me to better use my time spent on the computer.

Plus, you know how sometimes you see a layout and you just NEED to comment on it, like, "Someone needs to tell her that 10 year olds are too old for full frontals." Things you want to say but that are too tacky to post on a public board. You get to say those to your IM friends without anybody's feelings getting hurt. That's my favorite thing about IM, lol. Oh, that and the friendships I've made. :)

You are responsible for Tracey spitting soda all over herself and anyone with in a few feet radius.
DANG-Another reason to love ya to pieces!
 
I don't chat either. I hate feeling like an outsider here, but as it is I already feel like I need intervention for my serious addiction. I could spend allll day and night on here scrapping and reading message boards (oh, and shopping)- how can I possibly fit in chatting?

I don't know how you all do it. I guess I am a pretty poor manager of my time:(

You're not an outsider 'cuz you don't chat! Lots of us don't. :) I don't think it's necessarily about time management either, it's just about what works for you and what you enjoy doing and WANT to fit into your schedule. I have friends who say "gosh, I just don't know how you find the time to scrapbook, I wish I had all that extra time to just play with"....well...you do if you make time (and don't do other things, like say watch TV at night or clean LOL j/k), we all have busy lives- it's just about priorities (IMHO). :)
 
Kristin you know I :wub: you!!!

I don't chat a whole lot and when I do I am usually back and forth lol I hate to start convo's with people cause I figure if they didn't start it they don't want to chat with me!

This is very true.
 
Until the whole Hello flap started this week, I didn't realize how many people were chatting or that my not chatting was the reason why I don't have any real friends in the digi community. But in the last few weeks I've been so busy and tired that my scrapping/surfing time has been cut in half. As much as I'd like to make friends and join in, the idea of adding one more thing to the mix right now just makes me want to hide in bed with the covers over my head. You'll all still be there if I ever change my mind, right? And you promise not to chat behind my back about me thinking I could be cool enough to be part of the chat-crowd?

(As for time management and priorities, send me your secrets! I already clean my house as little as possible, only watch 1 tv show a week, and stay up way too late to make time for scrapping--how come I don't have more time to play?)
 
I don't chat either. I have only used Windows Live Messenger and just have my family members listed. I don't think I would get any scrapping done otherwise. Plus, I am like Laurie...I am shy and have always been socially challenged. I don't usually have much to say.

me too!:) Plus I just don't have time - the computer takes up enough with scrapping, shopping and browsing forums - and I don't watch tv OR clean!!:) I think dh would keel over if I spent anymore time on my computer and ds just won't have it when he is around. SO, no chatting for me.
 
*rofl* Kellie! OMG!! Your post = WORD.

In the immortal words of 'Steel Magnolias'... if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me!! :D
 
LMAO! I :wub: Kellie :)

You girls need to buck up! If you never take a chance and say hi, you'll never make new friends! It's a 2 way street lovers!

I think we might be kindred spirits, LeeAndra. You and Emmy should hop on a plane and head out to Borneo. :thumbup:

And Colleen, I can't get the smilies to load for me because my Internet provider DESPERATELY NEEDS COMPETITION, but I {wub} you, too. though I'm not sure how to feel that the Viagra cartoon made you think of me. :unsure: We should chat more, too, because I get the feeling we might have a lot to say to each other. :p

Totally feel out of the loop here sometimes, but I'm slowly catching on. :)

I totally hear that. I feel the same way.

Hahahaha it made me think of you cuz of the "I would've been so cool so much sooner" comment, lol.

I def think we'd have a lot to talk about, lol. Next time I'm on (which will be spotty since we leave for NY tonight and are gone for the weekend) I'll hit ya up, lol.
 
No chatting for me. I work full-time outside the home, and most of my scrapping/computer time in the evening involves nursing a baby, so typing would be a bit of a challenge!
 
Hey, just wanted to say, anybody interested in getting their feet wet in the chatting world, feel free to give me a go! I LOVE to chat. You may be wishin' you'd never called my name by the end of it, but I promise not to bite. ;)

I'm joelsgirl on Hello and jkturner7 on yahoo and WaterfallChaser on Windows Live Messenger.

Yeah like we don't chat enough, you need more people now?

ROFL!
 
Kellie, why are you in Borneo, BTW? Are you pulling a Janet Phillips (ha!) or were you born/raised there? Sorry, but I don't know your backstory. How cool to live in a 'honeymoon' place. No one ever says, 'OMG! Indianapolis! Let's go there on our honeymoon, sweetie!', IYKWIM? And yes, def. kindred spirits! Now just need to work on convincing Scott to take care of the babies while Emmy runs away with me... :p

This is such an interesting conversation for me b/c I'm the socially awkward one IRL, but superchatty/my real personality online. It's so much 'safer' for me to chat in IM, and it's much easier for me to warm up to someone IRL if I've met/chatted with them in IM first. Us women are strange wonderful creatures...
 
I don't chat & scrap. I guess I am a solitary scrapper. I hate being distracted when I am trying to scrap! But I love to chat sometimes and I usually just pop into a chat. I've been trying to drop by here on Fridays.

I have been in and out of this community for years because I feel like an outsider sometimes... you mean, I just need to start chatting and I can be one of the cool girls?! :) lol I don't have time to chat. My house already looks like a tornado blew through and my kids can't handle any less time from me.
