I will have 3 lists in the comments:
- those who said they want to zoom
- those who said they will only participate in BJ threads
- those who have not let me know how they plan to participate
If you plan to participate by zoom, you need to send me email or I have no way to share the zoom link. :-)
If you plan to participate only on the the BJ threads, you can send email or let me know in the comments.
If you are on one of these lists and have decided not to participate, please let me know in the comments.
If I have you in the wrong list, please let me know that, too!
Thank you.

There are a hundred zoom slots total. Please RSVP as soon as you are able. thanks.
Mingobat (f/k/a Karen in GA)
Probably not going to be able to do it — life getting in the way. Happy to relinquish my Zoom slot.
WaterGirl
@Mingobat (f/k/a Karen in GA): Shall I put you down for the BJ threads?
Cowgirl in the Sandi
Watergirl – if possible, I’ll switch to the BJ threads instead of zoom.
Gvg
I have the book and have started. I will probably only do the threads
Mingobat (f/k/a Karen in GA)
@WaterGirl: Sure. Might lurk more than participating, or might only read them afterwards, depending on my schedule.
And thank you for coordinating all of this.
WaterGirl
@Cowgirl in the Sandi: No problem! People are welcome to go to either one, or both. I just need to know what’s what so I can send out the zoom links to the zoom peeps.
WaterGirl
@Mingobat (f/k/a Karen in GA): You are most welcome!
Sure Lurkalot
I may jump in on the threads and very much appreciate the opportunity.
WaterGirl
@Sure Lurkalot: Great!
planetjanet
Watergirl, I would like to Zoom!
WaterGirl
@planetjanet: Great! You’ll need to send me email so I can reply with the zoom link.
cwmoss
@WaterGirl: forgot that I had signed up! I won’t be able to participate.
gene108
Thanks for posting the table for those on the Zoom. I wasn’t sure, if you got my email. You did.
WaterGirl
@cwmoss: Thanks for letting me know.
Leslie
Question: will there be a BJ thread at the same time as the Zoom, and if so, will anyone be stopping by the thread with occasional summary comments / updates of anything especially noteworthy?
WaterGirl
@gene108: Yeah, I decided it was too many people to try to respond to every one of them. :-)
WaterGirl
@Leslie: Yes, the threads will start at 7:30 and the zooms will start at 8:00 (though doors will open at 7:45 so we can all get settled in and start the zoom at 8pm sharp.
i have been thinking about we might do that.
edit: You’re not on the list yet, but it sounds like you are planning to participate in the threads?
Faithful Lurker
I’d like to be in on the threads. Thanks.
WaterGirl
@Faithful Lurker: added!
Zelma
I’d like to be on the threads rather than zoom.
WaterGirl
@Zelma: I switched you, thanks for letting me know.
Vickie Feminist
Life getting too complicated. Need to drop out but will lurk.
You all are always an inspiration.
laura
Thread participation for me please. And thank you for planning and running this too!
WaterGirl
@Vickie Feminist: Thanks for letting me know. Hope things settle down soon.
WaterGirl
@laura: Thank you! I’ve got you down for threads.
Ben Cisco (onboard the Defiant)
Going to do my best to make the threads. Will probably have to lurk as I’m dealing with school now (MSCIS for those who have inquired)…
Renie
WIll be in the threads and if you still have room, in the Zoom.
Faithful Lurker
Water Girl,
This may be a silly question but we are talking about 8 eastern time, right? 5 Pacific Time?
WaterGirl
@Renie: Yes, there is still room in the zooms! You will need to send me email, though, so I can send the zoom link.
Ohio Mom
I’m confused. I’d been assuming the threads were just regular threads, that I could just read whenever — maybe in real time, maybe later.
They’re not? They are going to be behind a wall of some sort? I was just planning on lurking, I need to sign up to lurk?
WaterGirl
@Faithful Lurker: Yes, Eastern time.
Everything I announce with a time on BJ, is on Balloon Juice time, aka Eastern time.
Yes, 5 pm if you live in CA or thereabouts.
If you are on your way home from work, you could always dial in to the zoom by phone until you get home. There are always phone numbers for dialing in with just audio.
Faithful Lurker
Indeed, a silly question. I just went and looked at the information. Sorry
WaterGirl
@Ohio Mom: No, not to worry. The threads will be regular threads. You can lurk or participate in the threads in real time, or read them later, just like any other thread.
I know that some of the zoom people plan to also participate in the threads later.
If a person indicated that they wanted to participate in the book club, I need to know whether they will be zooming or doing the BJ threads.
I need to know people for the zooms so I can send zoom links, and also to make sure won’t have more than 100. We still have plenty of room before we get to 100, though, so I don’t think we will need to turn anyone away from zooming.
WaterGirl
@Faithful Lurker: No problem! I always say that if one person asks, there are probably a hundred people who are also wondering. So it never hurts to ask, and you are helping everyone when you do. :-)
sab
I don’t zoom but I would love to be on the threads.
WaterGirl
@sab: Then we’ll see you in the book club threads. Thanks for letting me know.
West of the Rockies
@WaterGirl:
I would love to participate in the thread if I may. Thank you, Watergirl!
WaterGirl
@West of the Rockies: Anyone can participate in the threads, so you are golden.
If you want to participate in the zoom, you need to send me email in advance so I can send the zoom link.
Denali
I’d like to be in the threads, rather than the Zoom. Thanks for all you do.
WaterGirl
@Denali: Sure thing! thanks for letting me know.
Leslie
@WaterGirl: Yes, I’d like to join the threads, thanks!
WaterGirl
@Leslie: Great! Thanks for letting me know.
Miss Bianca
@WaterGirl: I would like to Zoom for some but can’t for all. Must it be only one or the other, she asked piteously.
(If it is, I will of course choose Thread, because that will in fact be easier for me.)
ETA: Please don’t flame if it’s already been answered up top, but any way to record the Zoom call and put a link to the recording on the side?
WaterGirl
@Miss Bianca: Not a problem if you want to do some zooms and some BJ threads.
I really just need to know the super set of all people who plan to zoom at least once. That way I have: 1) the email to send the zoom link to, and 2) make sure we don’t go over 100 zoom peeps, which it doesn’t look like we will.
So zoom when you can, and thread whenever you want.
WaterGirl
@Miss Bianca: When do I flame? :-)
I will need Adam Schiff’s permission to record the zooms he attends, but if he is good with it I think there’s a good possibility that we will put up the zoom AUDIO at a later date.
Travels with Charley
Watergirl – I won’t be able to make January 12 session , but will attend all other sessions!
WaterGirl
@Travels with Charley: Okey dokey.
Beaner
@WaterGirl: I’d like to participate via zoom. Thank you!
WaterGirl
@Beaner: Great!
You’ll nend me an email message so I can send you the zoom link.
trnc
I’ll do the thread instead of zoom. Thanks.
WaterGirl
@trnc: Got it, thanks!
oenofool
@WaterGirl: Please add me to the Zoom link for tomorrow at 8 p.m.
@WaterGirl:
WaterGirl
@oenofool: Happy to add you to the list, but you have to send me an email message so I can reply with the zoom link.
Nancy
I appreciate Watergirl’s patient and kind repetition of the facts we need to know. Has anyone mentioned in the last two or three minutes how wonderful this is and you are?
Thank you
WaterGirl
I am no longer checking this thread for responses, so please send email to WaterGirl rather than share information here related to the book club.
