If you mean a private message Click on the person's avatar and select to "Start conversation'. Won't be a 'live chat' but only you and recipient(s) will see the conversation.Duh…..if I want to participate in a chat is this the place I put it? Or is this just answering the post before me? Thank you
Many years ago I used to have a chat room on a couple of my forums but found that they are pretty counter productive on a forum. I DO have a chat room on my computer help forums but it is only accessible to staff.We used to have a chat room but due to very little participation and difficulty moderating it, the admins discontinued it. We do have a random discussion thread which is visited by many members.
I think this family of jokes is the reason so many writing teachers advise against using adverbs.These were popular when I was decades younger.
The Joy of Tom Swifties
Funny and Exuberant Puns That Turn Adverbs into Punchlines
A Tom Swifty is a play on words taking the form of a quotation ascribed to Tom and followed by an adverb. Here's a good example: "The thermostat is set too high," said Tom heatedly.
Here are a few more examples:
Sometimes the puns are simple:
Let's gather up the rope," said Tom coyly.
"Welcome to my tomb," said Tom cryptically.
"I can't find the oranges," said Tom fruitlessly.
Sometimes they require a little more thought to get:
"Don't you love sleeping outdoors," Tom said intently.
"Let's trap that sick bird," Tom said illegally.
"I lost my trousers," said Tom expansively.
And some are inspired:
"I just ran over my father," Tom said transparently.
And the all-time best Tom Swifty:
"I just dropped the toothpaste," said Tom crestfallenly.
So, without using a Search engine, what Tom Swifties can you devise? Here are a few from me:
"2+2=4," said Tom additionally.
"I love watching my fish move around the tank," said Tom swimmingly.
"I keep my phone set to vibrate," said Tom tinglingly.
"Well I didn't want grapes anyway" said Tom sourlyThese were popular when I was decades younger.
