Many thanks for your kind remarks Linda.   Love the cat photo.
Just had a "cremated" jacket potato for my tea!!!   Forgot to put the timer on the oven.

Where are all the other RChatters?  and where can I find the recommended reading list please?

If you find one of us on there by looking for Deirdre's logo or the one Trystan made, then see who we are following, you should be able to find quite a few.

Thank you Groom - will have a go.   Have never spent so much time on my computer in one evening.   Feeling lost here on my own and trying to divert my mind from constantly worrying about my dear OH
Must switch off now and get some work done.

Hi Everyone,

I heard of this offer through rootschat, joined and sped through the first week, enjoying Q&A immensely.

Then came the Google hangout to discuss the course. Firstly I had to join google plus which was a trial in itself and then when I finally got going on it, there was no legible sound...cutting in and out, and the picture was pixilating badly.

I know I'm a long way away in Aus but I couldn't sit through it.

Has anyone else had problems?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris

I've merged your topic so that someone on the course might be able to help further

Hi Chris - if you read through this thread or look at section 1:18 on the course, you'll see that everyone, no matter where they were, had the same problems with sound etc and most of us gave up.

You can also watch it through YouTube - although that version was also a bit garbled.
