I have set up a Zoom meeting for Saturday, 1/30 at 7:00 PM Eastern / 4:00 Pacific
The Zoom meeting ID is: 846 5941 4655
The link itself contains the password, so anyone clicking on the link, or pasting it into a browser will be connected.
The direct link is: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/84659414655?pwd=bUZsaDk4bFY2RDZsK0JvZ2VMSy9FUT09

Clothing optional?
I see the meeting ID, isn’t there usually a password also?
Are MASKS required?
Waste up, right? No puppet tricks.
Looking forward to it!
WTF?!!! Really? Story of my damned life. I have my first playing gig in MONTHS and won’t be able to participate!!! I swear the gods hate me.
For those of us paranoiacs who refuse to have a camera or mic connected to our computers, is there a call-in number?
Looking forward to finally seeing what BFH looks like in the flesh.
(Hey Hat–what do you think of Matz to the Jays?)
Aw, bummer. Can’t make it.
Brown Eyed Girl: there is a text ‘chat’ function; no camera needed to participate.
bUZsaDk4bFY2RDZsK0JvZ2VMSy9FUT09, this is the password. This must be a super secret spy op to have such a convoluted password.
SCHWEEEEEET… I’ll be there again. 😎
Aaarrrggh, unable to attend due to prior commitments.
I’ll be there. But please someone remind me tomorrow.lol
Guess I’ll have to clean up.🥴
DHS not invited!
You didn’t send Jeffrey Toobin or Anthony Weiner an invite did you?
Yay! I can finally come to something! I have a deadline this weekend so might not be able to stay for the whole thing (depends how long it goes, though), but I’ll be there!
See you at 3:00!
Dang! I’m travelling down to the Grandson’s first Birthday party and can’t attend. Would love to make some acquaintances with you all. Next time I guess.
Should have been lgmichael
I‘ll try not to have a bad hair day this time.
Nice try Joe6. I recognize a Bitcoin wallet key when I see it.
Who’s in charge of virtual libations?
Regrets. I will not do zoom. Yes, the billionaire owner was born in the U.S. and has American citizenship, but he not only went to university in China (why?) but also a large portion of his work force is in China (why?); and security breaches.
I look forward to seeing / hearing / chatting with those who can make it. I do understand that some cannot, or will not. One of the reasons I am doing this on Saturday this month is because some cannot make weekdays and missed our last one.
For those that asked, that link should take you into the meeting as the hash does include the password. If it does ask you for a passcode: 3GNkUL
If you are DHS, that passcode will not work.
When you connect, you should be able to set your ID to whatever you want, so feel free to use your IOTW tag, or your real name.
@Claw – congratulations. That is a great excuse not to attend. I wish you all of the luck and maybe you can send a soundclip to BFH and we can play it during the meeting 🙂
I hope to pop in for a howdy to all.
We are changing ISP today, so my future online life depends on success in that regard.
Hope to see you Saturday!
No makeup, because it mightt mb ttoo ddifficult to apply witthoutt pokingg my eyes out. Ii shake too much. Lolol.
I will wear my BFH tthough.
If my boyfriend doesn’t have anything planned, I’ll be there.
I invented the internet – and networked meetings.
I shall hopefully be in the mtns. shredding powder on that date.
Next time…
Im lector at 5 pm Mass on Sat evening. Get home after 6 cst . I’ll try to sign on but would be late.
Darn, got the night shift, I will be at work at a federal installation with my Rona diaper on…
I want to join in … may be too late (midnight for me) but I’ll try!
CC – have fun. Wish I could join you, but my back has put an end to most of my downhill activities.
Redgrandma – if it goes like last time, it will be 3 hours long, so late isn’t a problem 🙂
I couldn’t make the first one, but I’m gonna give this one a try. Looking forward to it.
RogerF do you act as a moderator, or is it just a free for all? And is Fur going to be attending, or does he make an unannounced cameo guest appearance?
Stirrin – no moderation. The only thing I do is set up the meeting. After you join, it is an open forum. This time I will try to spend a few minutes about future options, but that is it
@RogerF and @The Claw of Bluegrass – I want to hear/see the gig in one of those zoom panels…you know, some music for the kitchen counter gathering?
MAKE.IT.SO.
Also @COB – where’s the gig?? How many band members and what instruments?
Finally, is there a website or other where we can HEAR you?
Ghost
Distinct possibility. Will be playing rent-a-cop, but Saturday night is a no brainer (fill a chair no more) if occasional background noise of radio traffic does not disqualify. Suppose I could mute…
Reposting a new thread with the link again tomorrow right…?
I love these things. However, I’m picking up a 66 Fury convertible on sat…..(5K if any one wants it as is) should be done by 3 or so.
I’m gonna run out buy a camera and dress in woman’s clothing just so this is sure to be inclusive! No changed my mind.
I’m kind of shy and am afraid of what i might look like on a Zoom call.
Plus if i dress in woman’s clothing i would have to shave,after 46 years of sporting either a full beard or goatee,just don’t have the balls to do it.
I won’t be there, but I’ll be listening.
@Aaron Burr – just send that Chinese guy from last time.
Even if you a busy…
He was a weal wiot…
@antidote – ‘Guess I’ll have to clean up…’
Don’t fret, just wear a ‘decent shirt’, as my mom use to say…
Ghost
I am going to disagree with Ghost. Just wear a shirt. I don’t care if it is decent, or not 😛
And for those who have asked, I am working with BFH to get this reposted, or a sticky. Not sure it will happen, but I hope so
An indecent sticky shirt. Ya see, this is why I don’t participate in these sort of things. LOL
I’ll bring my Petey B and my Petey B will bring my unbleached elastic starfish so you can all ZOOM in on my unbleached elastic starfish!
That’s it I’m out…
I have seen that many of you have tried to join the meeting today. The actual get together is on Saturday. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow
I don’t think I’m alone, but every time I see a post from that starfish guy I lose interest in everything else that’s said. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s a regular that thinks he has a comedy routine going, or if it really is a demented piece of shit intruding on a normally wholesome blog. That guy needs to be disappeared.
Joe6pak – I agree. It’s tiresome and not the least bit funny.
The worst part is, it’s one of us who mistakenly thinks it’s funny. I’m pretty sure I know who it is. I hope I’m wrong. Thought he was smarter than that. This has run it course.
joe6pak: stirrin the pot: Brad:
Could not agree more. Not funny by any stretch of the imagination. Also, so repetitive which makes it even more untenable.
Yes,plzz stop the starfiish routine.
My computer is over 15 yrs old. No mic, no camera.
When controla virus commie shutdowns end I’ll travel to wherever.
I don’t like technology. I’m already deeper in it than I care to be but I’m tempted. I’ve already got everybody visualized in my head and wouldn’t want to be let down. Damn Brad’s image scares the hell out of me!😉
Seeing as Zoom is a Chinese company may I suggest heavy use of some of the following terms?
Chinese Virus
Wu Flu
Beijing Biden
The election was stolen
Taiwan is sovereign
Made in America
Chinese Virus
Not a fan of Xi-Zoom. I may just listen in, because I’m ready for my “close up”. Confident it will be a fun meeting, though.
@Brad – It’s not me.
Playing rent-a-cop and puter at work has sound but no mic pick up. Will monitor and perhaps throw an occasional comment here…
I think I just might lurk this time. Don’t have a mic or camera on my monitor (dinosaur) and I only use my laptop as my ‘server’. I’d have to dig it out of it’s hiding place. If there is a chat feature, just might throw in a few pearls of wisdom here and there…LOL!
Pearls before…
Puter won’t give audio or screen shot of participants. Just squeaky noises when anyone speaks. Maybe next time if at home…
I’m guessing I need more than the meeting id…
I tole you, Chasten, there’s no ELASTIC left!
More like a wet paper towel.
That rectal prolapse still feels good, though!
I gotta kinda rub it, like I do with a NaturaLamb.
Once you install Zoom Client, click Launch Meeting below
Seriously?!? Sorry, but NFW am I running a Chinese .exe automatic download.
Have fun, y’all!
Great meet all. See ya next time
Y’all missin’ out!!!
Thanks to RogerF for organizing tonight’s gathering. The conversation was enjoyable and it was good to speak live to real people that I interact with under avatars and assumed names here on iOTWR.
Of course, the image you saw of me was CGI and the name I went by was fake too. But other than that, it was real tonight! 😉
Tried to join, but I think I’m late.
Sorry- I had a thing on DLive that ran late.
Awwww! Rats! Geoff C. and I were at a clients new home today, prepping for a 6000 sf interior paint job. Great pay day coming up, but it means Saturdays for the month of February. Hope you all had a good time!
@RogerF – thanks…that was some good craic…

Ghost of Glover and Mary Hatch
@Abigail Adams – btw, congrats on landing that contract, but don’t die’ there. DO your great work and get to the next one!
I painted seven closets in two days this past week at a job site…
Could talk about an entire thread about house painting and prep, moulding, doors, hardware…
That COULD be a topic on the next zoomy thread.
House renovations and remodeling…
Ghost
Say hi to Pamela and Robert Spencer (my non-zoomer pals) as I have not seen them much since CPAC in 2010 and during the Ground Zero Mosque awakening efforts in the years following. I will probably be in Florida later this week and maybe “your people can contact my people” (lol) for lunch or something near WPB as long as my car, in storage near JAX still works and I can afford the round trip to your place. I am waiting for the predicted Nor-easter to fizzle out first.
As @stirrin the pot pointed, or wondered out loud, we spanned about 10 time zones tonight…
From Alaska to London?!?!
Think ABOUT THAT.
That’s pretty dam good.

I was listening, great meet up guys. Loved hearing names and matching up voices. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to make an appearance next time! Thanks Roger F., great job as organizer and moderator.
I missed it, but that’s okay. I know what many of you look like already.
Darn it, I missed it.
Dang. Am I too late? Figures!
Just as I was pondering if I should join or not my mom had an ’emergency’ so I missed it. :b
Oh well maybe next time lol.
