Here’s how to join the Care Partners chat.
We are currently using the Yahoo! Messenger software. You can download it free on the Yahoo! Messenger web page. (http://messenger.yahoo.com/) We use the Conference feature with the Voice activated. That means we can talk without having to type, however we all seem to type a little too.
Install the Yahoo software on your PC or Mac. Choose a nickname (that’s the hard part!) and sign up for a Yahoo! ID. Or use your existing Yahoo! ID if you already have one.
Start the Yahoo! Messenger software and click on the Add button at the top of the window under the word Help.
A window will appear. Make sure “by Yahoo! ID” is selected and click on the Next button at the bottom.
Type aussiebella, pc_carl or oshticker in the “Enter Friend’s ID:” field.
Type a message in the “Message to Friend:” field and click finish.
The Friend’s ID you entered will now appear in your Friends list. Repeat the Add steps for each of the Yahoo! Ids (aussiebella, pc_carl and oshticker)
One of us will contact you to make sure your Yahoo! Messenger is working. You must have the software running to join the weekly chat. We are actually using the Conference feature on Yahoo! Messenger.
On Friday nights at 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US & Canada) one of us will send an invite to join a Conference. We're looking forward to talking with you!
