(UNOFFICIAL FIGURE SKATING FORUM 7/8/93)
Nebula5: By the way, Carol, this isn't a real Forum. We usually have more than 3 people!
Nebula5: We're supposed to be on Vacation :)
MargeR1: She is starting her 2nd season on a precision team and will compete at FS4 this year.
CarolSel: I know. I checked in last week.
Nebula5: Marge, do you think she'll keep it up?
CarolSel: What is SF4? You can tell I am unfamiliar with the terms.
OnlineHost: BrendaW660 has entered the room.
BrendaW660: Hi, all
Nebula5: Hello Brenda!
BrendaW660: What's up?
CarolSel: Hi Brenda.
Nebula5: Introductions, mostly
BrendaW660: Okey
Nebula5: So you were here last week, Carol? how many showed up?
BrendaW660: So, I confirmed what JulieD told us the other day .... Barb Underhill
BrendaW660: did lose one of her twins -- a drowning.
CarolSel: I believe ther were seven of us.
Nebula5: I saw that in BLADES. So sad.
MargeR1: It is supposed to be Freestyle I made a typo
BrendaW660: I know ... she wrote an article and poem for AmericabnSkating World
Nebula5: How long ago did this happen?
BrendaW660: About six weeks, I guess. I think it was in May
CarolSel: How many skaters are on her precision team Marge?
MargeR1: That is so awful Can we do anything ?
MargeR1: We will have 31 this season
BrendaW660: Well, they've set up a memorial fund.
Nebula5: Are they all about the same age on her team?
MargeR1: The ages vary from 5th or 6th grade through high school
Nebula5: I wish I had gotten involved with something like that when I was that age.
CarolSel: How often do they get to perform?
CarolSel: I was never that age.
Nebula5: :)
Nebula5: I just sent an IM to a new person. Hope she finds us.
OnlineHost: MelissaIS1 has entered the room.
MargeR1: was it melissa I did too
Nebula5: You made it!
MargeR1: Welcome Melissa
BrendaW660: Boy, apparently we were all trying to get you herre!
Nebula5: {S WELCOME
MelissaIS1: Whew, I found you! I finally made it! Hi all!!!
Nebula5: Your timing was right.
CarolSel: Julie, does an IM translate to Instant Message? Never heard of it.
CarolSel: Hi Melissa
MargeR1: We were discussing Barb Underhill's loss and precision teams
Nebula5: Yes.
BrendaW660: separate discussions
MelissaIS1: HI Carol, hi everyone.
MargeR1: Instant messages are under the Members Menu and can be sent to anyone online at the same
MargeR1: time
Nebula5: So Melissa, we're mostly fans here. Tell us about yourself.
MargeR1: It would be nice if we could put together a AOL contribution to the memorial fund
BrendaW660: That's a good idea ... I have the address.
Nebula5: That's a great idea. You want to coordinate?
MelissaIS1: Well, I'm a fan myself, and am also a member of the prodigy fig sk8 bb.
CarolSel: Thanks Marge. I learn something everytime I try AOL.
MelissaIS1: Is it a memorial fund for Barb Underhill? I;m trying to catch up here...
MargeR1: Yes
Nebula5: Yes; one of her twins drowned recently
BrendaW660: It's actually for her daughter, Samantha, who drowned at 8 mo. old
BrendaW660: I'd be happy to coordinate an AOL gift to the fund.
MelissaIS1: Yes, I heard. That's very sad. April Sargeant-Thomas had a similar tragedy, no?
CarolSel: Brenda, the Instant message keeps appearing on my screen. Does it appear on everyones?
BrendaW660: Yes, her second twin died recently too.
MargeR1: She lost both babies
BrendaW660: But hers were terribly premature.
Nebula5: Click on Window and Tile.
MargeR1: IM only appear to the two people talking back and forth
BrendaW660: right
BrendaW660: That is, just the two people's.
Nebula5: (Close the windows you're not using!)

OnlineHost: MelissaIS1 has entered the room.
Nebula5: What are you doing, Melissa?
BrendaW660: haha
MelissaIS1: Sorry, I was just trying to close some windows, and lost you!
BrendaW660: Melissa, what's the letter after "a" in your screen name?
Nebula5: Excuse me, someone's smoke alarm is going off upstairs. Hopefully I'll be back.
BrendaW660: oops, that sounds ominous
BrendaW660: I will put my address in e-mail now for anyone who wants to contribute to the memorial fund
MelissaIS1: It's an "I", as in Ingrid (my middle name.)
CarolSel: Hopefully a false alarm.
Nebula5: They stopped it. Probably broiling or somthing. Happens a lot in this old building.
Nebula5: Also Brenda let us know who to make checks to.
MargeR1: Is there a suggested donation amount or just any
BrendaW660: I'll run out to the car and get the Memorial Fund name.
MelissaIS1: Brenda, would it have to a substantial amount?
BrendaW660: Ah, Melissa, that's why I couldn't get you the first time -- I thought it was an "l" as in little
Nebula5: If enough of us can contribute a little, it would add up.
BrendaW660: No, Melissa, I don't think so -- collectively it'll add up, plus we just want to show support
OnlineHost: Boise has entered the room.
MargeR1: Hi Boise!
Nebula5: Hi Boise
Boise: Hello
Nebula5: You from Idaho?
MelissaIS1: It IS the same as the "l" as in lollipop, now that I look at it.
CarolSel: Hello Boise. Is that for Idaho?
MelissaIS1: Hi Boise!!
MargeR1: We were just discussing an optional donation to the Underhill Memorial fund from AOL fans
BrendaW660: I just sent y'all e-mail, so your mailbox should beep anytime now
Boise: From Southern California. Boise is actually my name.
MargeR1: mine did
BrendaW660: Oh, Boise, I didn't know that -- just assumed it was Idaho
CarolSel: What part of S. Cal. I grew up in La Crescenta.
Nebula5: You are probably tired of hearing that...
MelissaIS1: Oh, that was cute. (the beep for mail)
Boise: Orange County--Newport Beach, Irvine
Nebula5: {S WELCOME
BrendaW660: I'm zipping out to the car for a moment - be right back
MargeR1: I wish we had some skating sounds to play with
Nebula5: My bosses son just got a super Sound Blaster. I will ... encourage him to
Nebula5: do us up some sounds.
CarolSel: Boise, are you a skater or a fan?
MelissaIS1: I'm sort of new here - how do you make a log of a conversation? I
Boise: I am both. I don't compete anymore though.
MargeR1: That would be fantastic. Make sure you UPload to Library to get online credit for them
CarolSel: Good question Melissa
Nebula5: It doesn't always work, but. Click on file, Logging, and give the file a name.
Nebula5: Chat Log, that is.
MelissaIS1: What kind of skating noises are there? Whoosh?
MargeR1: Go to File Choose Logging If you want to log a chat choose chat log, If you want to log file
Nebula5: WEll, we were t hinking of some Scott Hamilton yells (He nailed it!) etc.
MargeR1: then choose session log. You can change to a floppy disk if you don't want it on your Hard
Nebula5: Why don't you e-mail me ideas? If he can't do it, we'll find someone who can.
MargeR1: drive You can change the name I include day's number in my file names and then you just ope
MargeR1: You can do this offline before signing in or spend time online doing it. you can do it now
BrendaW660: BTW, was I supposed to introduce myself?
MargeR1: while in this chat room
BrendaW660: (I'm back)
Nebula5: Well I know who you are. But we do have some new people :)
MargeR1: Did this make sense about logging?
MelissaIS1: Yes, you do. Thanks Marge, I think I may try it.
CarolSel: Does it continue to log as the chat goes on?
BrendaW660: Well, let's see, I've been a skating enthusiast (of the armchair variety) for I'd say more than 14 ...
Nebula5: Usually someone will log the forums and download them to the libraries, so you can get them
Nebula5: later on.
BrendaW660: years. I'm also a freelance writer, and I've done a couple of skating related
MargeR1: Just remember to close log when leave AOL so you can read it
CarolSel: Does logging start at the beginning or when you log on.
BrendaW660: articles and want to do more.
MelissaIS1: What libraries?
MargeR1: yes
OnlineHost: CarynS has entered the room.
Nebula5: Other sports libraries. I foget you're real new.
MargeR1: Hi Caryn!
CarynS: Hello.
MelissaIS1: Hi Caryn!
Nebula5: There are all sorts of interesting files on AOL. (Hi Caryn)
BrendaW660: Hi, Caryn
CarynS: I made it...took me a sec.
Nebula5: {S GSWELCM
MargeR1: We were discussing how to do logging
BrendaW660: The fund name, BTW, is the Stephanie Gaetz Memorial Fund
CarynS: Hi.
MelissaIS1: Anything on skating in the sports library?
CarynS: Is there a format here or do we just all type at once?
MargeR1: Magazine Listing for 1
Nebula5: Not much, logs of past forums. People have started some new fun things tho.
MargeR1: Free for all <G>
BrendaW660: Normally there's a host, but tonight we're doing freestyle
BrendaW660: It's pretty cool to chat live, Caryn
Nebula5: Keep several conversations going at once!
BrendaW660: It's addictive, as a matter of fact
Nebula5: Just like a party where everyone is rude & interrupts a lot :)
CarynS: Yeah, it is. Julie Marge Lynne Laura and I had an Interesting talk last night
BrendaW660: yep1
MelissaIS1: Very addictive, as I've learned in the past few days,
BrendaW660: oops, that was yep!
MargeR1: BrendaShould we make checks to fund or to you for 1 bigger check?
CarolSel: CarynS- I'm new also. It appears to be 3 or 4 conversations at a time.
BrendaW660: Well, if you make them out to me I promise to send them to the fund
CarynS: Hi Carol and Nebula
Nebula5: Hmmm
BrendaW660: It would be easier to get credit on the fund books for the entire amount that way
MargeR1: That makes more sense to me
BrendaW660: does that make sense?
MelissaIS1: I'm new too, but I know you. :)
MargeR1: Is there a suggested amount
CarynS: It's going to take me a sec to get used to this. (:
BrendaW660: no
BrendaW660: Ya want to hear what it says about the fund:?
Nebula5: Well, most of you seem to be from *P. I started here, I'm also on GEnie
MargeR1: Sure
BrendaW660: "In an attempt to creat something positive from their terrible loss, Barb
CarolSel: I got use to it real quick.
BrendaW660: Underhill and Rick Gaetz have established a Memorial fund in Stephanie's name.
BrendaW660: "Stephanie's short little life will continue in a way that will help other
BrendaW660: children ... (more stuff here) ... We hope that Stephanie's fund can in some way
BrendaW660: help children and their families in the years to come. All I know is that it will be
CarynS: I think I would like info about donating to the fund.
BrendaW660: something very meaningful and very special, just like her precious little life. I think Stef would
BrendaW660: like that."
BrendaW660: I'm coordinating a group donation, Caryn, if you'd like to participate
Nebula5: I was waiting to hear who the fund would benefit. Accident prevention? What cause?
BrendaW660: That's vague, Julie
Nebula5: I'm sure it is worthy, whatever
BrendaW660: It happened the day before their christening.
BrendaW660: How sad.
Nebula5: All the sordid gossip we sometimes toss around. So sad when a real tragedy happens in
Nebula5: the skating community
CarynS: Jeannie DaRos from *P* told me about this a few weeks ago. I'm heartbroken for Barb.
Nebula5: So you will put your address in the Round Robin letter?
BrendaW660: ?
Nebula5: ??
CarynS: What is the round robin letter?
BrendaW660: Julie, you should already have my address in e-mail.
BrendaW660: Is that what you were asking about?
BrendaW660: ? means I don't understand what you just said -- it's kinda shorthand.
Boise: Have to run to answer another call. See you soon.
Nebula5: I know. Just kidding.
OnlineHost: Boise has left the room.
BrendaW660: ah ...
Nebula5: There is a letter bouncing around in mail; has most if not all of the Skating regulars in th
Nebula5: address heading.
Nebula5: You must not be on it!!
BrendaW660: I think she was added. I'll check
CarynS: oh--I did a ocuple group e-mails to the people I know--should I add all the skating folks?
CarynS: I did get one from LauraP that all of you got--
BrendaW660: You got one from Lynne, or should have.
BrendaW660: Lynne is LisaSeven
Nebula5: So confusing, so many names, my brain hurts!
CarolSel: Please add me to the group of skating folks.
BrendaW660: Caryn, if you want to write everyone, you can choose "reply to all" at the note and
CarynS: Lynne too. I 've lost tarck. I've gotten more mail here in one day than I ever did on P
BrendaW660: your note will go to everyone. We decided it would be a good way to conduct chats.
CarynS: Okay, I'll do that.
BrendaW660: (without the online time)
CarynS: Amen to that.
BrendaW660: e-mail is free
OnlineHost: MelissaIS1 has left the room.
CarynS: I know--I love it.
BrendaW660: Carol, I'll add ya to my list, if I can ever get around to writing a note to all
CarolSel: Thanks.
BrendaW660: Melissa .... yoo hoo
CarynS: Melissa?
MargeR1: Should we post a note in the skating folder to contact you Email You donot want addressthere
MargeR1: about this donation Brenda or just leave it to email
CarynS: This happened to Lynne a lot last night--got bumped I think.
BrendaW660: Yes, I'd rather send it e-mail, although most all the former *P folks probably
BrendaW660: already have it.
CarynS: Do you mean your address, Brenda?
BrendaW660: yes
CarynS: I have it from the list Julie did
Nebula5: Remember, I'm not a *P person...
BrendaW660: I know, Julie, I just meant a lot of people would have it. You should have it in your e-mail now.
MargeR1: We forgive you Julie
BrendaW660: my address, I mean
CarolSel: Marge, what is the skating folder?
Nebula5: You are FORGIVEN....
CarynS: I wrote in the folder earlier--hope I did it right...
Nebula5: When we leave here, go to Golf & Other Sports in the Sports stuff.
BrendaW660: Would y'all believe there are more than 200 folks who mentioned skating in their member bios?
Nebula5: Skating fits in with Golf, right?
MargeR1: The skating folder is under Grandstand Choose Sports Boards Choose Other Sports and then
CarynS: A lot of in-liners I bet
Nebula5: But are they on-line skaters?
BrendaW660: haha, Julie
CarynS: (:
BrendaW660: of course they're online ... they're online with aol
Nebula5: Unintentional, I assure you.
MargeR1: we post in skating , skating news, skating trivia, skating adult skaters but all folders
BrendaW660: just teasin'
MargeR1: need some posting of late
BrendaW660: You have to essentially choose "other sports" twice -- it's kinda
BrendaW660: hard to find.
CarynS: I found it--had to ask the crew for help though
Nebula5: There was some talk about setting up a Skating area, having to reprogam the software takes
Nebula5: time, etc. Wonder when?
MargeR1: We need to post more to rate our own section too
BrendaW660: Yes, I don't think there's enough activity yet ... so we've got to post more.
Nebula5: So post in addition to the Forum & the e-mail!
BrendaW660: But it's not so easy to select the inclusive dates you want - in fact, I guess you can't do that yet
Nebula5: I'm glad Skating is my only interest on AOL; $$$
BrendaW660: you said it!
MargeR1: Do write offline then cut and paste it in to save $$$
CarynS: I wsh I had the time to post more--I did write a note or two today--hope I didn't
Nebula5: (Other than all the software $$$$$)
CarynS: ruffle any feathers
CarolSel: Is there someone at AOL we could write to pressure them for a Skating area?
Nebula5: I didn't look before I came here. Will check when we're done.
BrendaW660: The sports area guy is Peckster.
MargeR1: Ooh sounds interesting I'll have to check this out. You are always so tactful anyway Caryn
CarynS: I wrote defending Mark Mitchell...
BrendaW660: But he's been etremely nice, and sat in on our first forum night
Nebula5: I think they are under a lot of pressure with the new influx of people.
MargeR1: Peck is nice His daughter is a gymnast
BrendaW660: Caryn, I wanted to defend too, but I read that note just before signing off
Nebula5: Peckster, not Mark Mitchell, sat in.
CarynS: I try to be tactful, Marge...on *P* you have to or you're lynched. (:
CarolSel: Darn, I was hoping for Mark.
MargeR1: Do you have windows and PC Caryn/ if so I saw an Achy Breaky heart wav file online
CarynS: Mark made an appearance on *P* ...
Nebula5: Other future special guests have been hinted at here.
CarolSel: WOW!
CarynS: Anyone know when Mark hits the Blue Jay?
BrendaW660: Isn't he already there?
MargeR1: *P doesn't have live chats like here but it was neat to see his notes
CarynS: Not according to LLP
BrendaW660: ah ... she would know
CarolSel: What is the Blue Jay?
Nebula5: Skating talk. Speak English
MargeR1: He deserves a break after Campbells
CarynS: Sorry. (: The Blue Jay arena in Calif.
CarynS: He DOES deserve a break. More than anyone I know...well, almost.
Nebula5: Hour is up! I must go, folks.
MargeR1: I bet all the skaters are glad that tour is over what a grueling pace!!!
CarynS: Up already?
Nebula5: Same time, same place next week. You new people come back!
Nebula5: And bring friends!
BrendaW660: yeah, Carol, Melissa, Caryn
CarynS: Marge, I know what you mean. Brains knees must KILL.
CarolSel: Bye Julie.
BrendaW660: Julie, you're an "oldie," but keep coming anyway. (g)
OnlineHost: GOCAMELS has entered the room.
Nebula5: POST. MAIL. MEET. (Skate if you can.)
