Since we've started this community I really haven't had the time to monitor it or spend time getting it active. I think think community has alot of potential and to me it has better options then facebook and myspace. The only thing is I can't do it alone. So I am looking for a couple people that I feel can be trusted and everyone likes. Someone that is very social and actually enjoys it. Someone that can create blogs and forum posts to get people interested in commenting. Also able to come up with ideas. Idea's like games, maybe some events held in the chat rooms or keeping people interested staying logged in. I for one will start adding interesting things like blogs and etc. If this interests you and regulars can vouche for ya I would be willing to give a couple people lots more mod and special options to play with. If this interest you and you think you have what it takes email me @ Usachatnow@aol.com and let me know. When emailing me please put in the subject of the email interested in community!

Technology advancements making it easier to contact people...
In alot of cases, individuals become emotionally involved and infatuated with the person they speak with through the screen. And some, meeting and realizing the person doesn't seem themselves in reality. I am sure plenty of online dates become successful but I've witnessed and read from friends and online users that some people they meet always don't seem to be what they originally thought they were. Alot of problems would be appearance, age, personality, occupation, and plenty more.

For those who turn to online dating know and risk the situations either themselves or their children are putting themselves in. If you think about it, the internet cannot be entirely blamed because everyone should be aware of these risks and dangers; The similiarity between online and real life, in a odd sense, both share these risks, though meeting online GIVES you a choice. You did not accidently bump into them on the bus or meet them at a bar, where you know your surroundings and able to sense true personas of the individuals you meet in real. You are INTENTIONALLY meeting this person.

We all know and have heard on the news or in the paper how young teens are meeting strangers online, becomming victims of predators. Alot of people blame the parents in this case. Yes, in some cases, the parents are not watching or realizing how often their children are exploring the internet world, unknowingly taking the chance to meet one of these secret identities. As we all know it, dating sites advertisements flood our social networks. As an adult, you know what the site entails. Children or young teens are no different, but we know that they MERELY do it just for curiosity. Especially those who are outcasts in school, insecure or socially awkward.

Both online and in reality, we grow, we take risks and become more aware of our atmosphere. But all the knowledge and sense in this world sometimes cannot beat the mind of an online predator or fake. We all know of the sick people who come through our lobbies and who are blunt of the "fun time" they're looking for. As a positive and healthy community we must try our hardest to warn them off. The goal isn't to rid them completely, because we all know that is inevitable.

I am aware just like some that people do innocently come online to have a fun time and have a "quickie", but they're ARE sites for that. I know what some of you are saying to yourselves, "It's not my responsibilty to do so. I'm here for a good time, I don't need to look out for others' children." YES, I know. I am not requesting you to take it into your own hands to do work. But as a community, where people truely come to find friends, a potential partner, or enjoy casual conversation could agree with me that we prefer our lobbies clean.

In the end, we all realize how the younger generations are and how pushy they can be and will go to any extent to be seen as an adult. Whether it's driving a car for the first time or going out with friends past curfew. Online, the teen can feel free, be whoever they want and meet whoever they want. As a community, as parents, as older and wiser adults, as a whole, we all know this and agree. On a positive note, we DO make friends online, we do find lovers, we do console in the people we meet and gain to trust.

Be safe, be healthy, be smart and have fun.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/SkitzoXX/blog/welcome-to-the-internet-vip-contest/ Fri, 16 Sep 2011 23:37:21 +0000 B Whitney http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/celebrations-and-commiserations/ With the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks still fresh in my mind, I find myself comparing what is a worldwide community united in tragedy wit...
Like the ceremonies that took place on Sunday, a chat room like UsaChatNow can bring people together from all over the world in times of need. These needs may be minor, for instance, a majority of people just want company and someone to chat with to escape the everyday woes of real life. The needs can also be major with people using on-line chat to seek advice on more serious matters like life, love and death.

In real life we may struggle to open up to loved ones and therefore acquire advice from strangers in the form of therapy of a scientific nature through some form of psychiatry; or of a religious nature through a member of clergy. Chat rooms can be regarded as an ideal setting for providing similar forms of advice, but from strangers instead with a vast variety of specialised knowledge and life experiences; strangers who, more often than not, eventually become close friends and confidants.

Thus not only does a chat room provide an environment full of different personalities with many purposes, it also provides a backdrop for a community of people from all aspects of life and from every corner of the globe. This inevitably leads to clashes based on differences in culture, religion, race, nationality and language. At the same time harmony can arise at significant times of joy, like Christmas and New Year.

I spent the end of 2010 in UsaChatNow and was blessed to be a witness to the celebrations and best wishes of chatters from all over the world as 2011 arrived through each different time zone. It was an incredibly special experience as the beginning of a new year occurred time and time again as each 12.00 arrived.

Equally, as we are united in times of joy, we are also united in times of sorrow, which was very evident recently as the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America were marked with ceremonies not just in the states, but all over the world. We too as an on-line community chatted our way through each stage of the ceremonies taking place live, providing comfort and support as we remembered and consoled each other as people with individual experiences of that day, as well as people united as a group against fear.

In chat rooms the people we meet may be on the other end of a computer screen and they may be on the other side of the world. There is no doubt, however, that the experiences and relationships are very real and not to be dismissed as easily as one might think. Instead they should be embraced and appreciated as something valuable, unique, remarkable and truely unforgettable.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/celebrations-and-commiserations/ Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:41:00 +0000 kirstin ritchie http://www.usachatnow.com/community/John_Alone/blog/mayday-origins/ Mayday originated as a pagan festive holy day celebrating the first spring planting.

The ancient Celts and Saxons celebrated May 1st as Beltane, which means the day of fire. Bel was the Celtic god of the sun. The Saxons began their Mayday celebrations on the eve of May, April 30. It was an evening of games and feasting celebrating the end of winter and the return of the sun and fertility of the soil. Torch bearing peasants and villagers would wind their way up paths to the top of hills or mountain crags and then ignite wooden wheels, which they would roll down into the fields below.
The May eve celebrations were eventually outlawed by the Catholic Church, but were still celebrated by peasants until the late 1700's. While good church going folk would shy away from joining in the celebrations, those less afraid of papal authority would don animal masks and various costumes. The revellers, lead by the Goddess of the Hunt, Diana (sometimes played by a pagan-priest in women's clothing), and the Horned God, Herne, would travel up the hill shouting, chanting, singing, and blowing hunting horns. This night became known in Europe as Walpurgisnacht, or night of the witches.
The Celtic tradition of Mayday in the British Isles continued to be celebrated throughout the middle ages by rural and village folk. Here the traditions were similar with a goddess and god of the hunt. As European peasants moved away from hunting gathering societies their gods and goddesses changed to reflect a more agrarian society. Thus Diana and Herne came to be seen by medieval villagers as fertility deities of the crops and fields. Diana became the Queen of the May and Herne became Robin Goodfellow (a predecessor of Robin Hood) or the Green Man. The Queen of the May reflected the life of the fields and Robin reflected the hunting traditions of the woods. The rites of mayday were part and parcel of pagan celebrations of the seasons. The Christian church later absorbed many of these pagan rites in order to win over converts from the 'Old Religion'.
The two most popular feast days for medieval craft guilds were the Feast of St. John - the Summer Solstice - and Mayday. Mayday was a raucous and fun time, electing a queen of the May from the eligible young women of the village, to rule the crops until harvest. Besides the selection of the May Queen was the raising of the phallic Maypole, around which the young single men and women of the village would dance holding on to the ribbons until they became entwined, with their (hoped for) new love. There was also Robin Goodfellow - the Green Man - who was the Lord of Misrule for this day. Mayday was a celebration of the common people, and Robin would be the King, Priest or Fool for a day. Priests and Lords were the butt of many jokes; mummers would make jokes and poke fun at the local authorities.
The church and state did not take kindly to these celebrations, especially during times of popular rebellion. Mayday and the Maypole were outlawed in the 1600's. Yet the tradition still carried on in many rural areas and the trade societies still celebrated Mayday until the 18th Century. As trade societies evolved from guilds, to friendly societies and eventually into unions, the craft traditions remained strong into the early 19th century.
In London the May Fayre was transferred from Haymarket in 1686 to Mayfair. The May Fayre lasted for up to 16 days and it soon became notorious for riotous and disorderly behaviour. In 1708 the May Fayre was abolished, only to be revived again with similar results. Building on the site was probably the most effective way of permanently suppressing the fair and by the mid-18th century almost the whole of modern Mayfair was covered with houses.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/John_Alone/blog/mayday-origins/ Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:53:18 +0000 John_Alone http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/time-for-reflection/ I am sitting here watching live on tv via BBC the ceremonies taking place to mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America on the 11th...
It is an incredibly moving experience. All the people that were lost, all the people that were left behind to grieve. All the mothers and fathers who lost a child, all the brothers and sisters who lost a sibling, all the children who lost a mother or father, all the friends who lost someone they love...

Nearly 3000 people lost today ten years ago, their names read out and remembered, one by one.

As I watch I know we will never forget where we were that day the news broke. We will never forget what we were doing. We will never forget how we felt. Those feelings never forgotten.

An attack on America was an attack on the whole world. Meant to shatter us, it has brought us all together and made us stronger and more powerful than we ever were before.

So as the ceremonies end and feelings fade we have a future to look forward to, a chance to make changes, an opportunity to be better.

And so life must go on...]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/time-for-reflection/ Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:39:06 +0000 kirstin ritchie http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irreverent1/blog/friendship-2/ http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irreverent1/blog/friendship-2/ Sat, 10 Sep 2011 22:47:43 +0000 Irreverent1 http://www.usachatnow.com/community/AZ_STEVE/blog/my-experience-at-usa-chat/ Back in about 2006 I found this site through a sister site and came over to check out the people and activities. Back then t...]]> Back in about 2006 I found this site through a sister site and came over to check out the people and activities. Back then the site was getting ready for another upgrade and Tears (the owner) was investing every penny in this site for modules. Anyhow the voice chat, and cam chat was at maximum capacity after the upgrade. I recall Tears watching the ratings of the site on Google (number of clicks) as USA climbed to top of Google search and became number 1 chat site. Members were going to Google and clicking on our link just to jack up our ratings (like it needed it). If I recall properly Tears was paying per click on USA’s Google link….thats a lot of clicks and dollars. I guess that’s how Google makes their money.
We were always told back then to use the tools we were given like iggys and blocks. I never got use to using the tools that USA gave us back then, and relied solely on ADMINS and MODS. Today I have and pass the word onto chatters to use those tools, MODS and ADMINS are 99% of the time watching even if you don’t see them. Have faith in the staff.
About 2 yrs later I was diagnosed with Severe COPD and Cancer. I started Chemo treatment and was sick as hell. I began to drink due to the chemo and was in the Lobby,
and I guess due to the alcohol, asked to be banned. I was stupid and disruptive and deserved it so I was banned for about 1.5 years. I havent touched a drop of alcohol to this day so some good came of that. I was in and out of other sites during my Bann but never stayed because something was missing that USA had. I received an invite back to the site at this point, I thought it was a mistake and was paranoid. I was accepted back after Tears and his staff discussed it in open forum.
I have had tried my hand at running my own chat while banned and believe me it’s a handful. How Tears manages the site I will never figure. A lot of people ask me how I got Lobby VIP. I was on a while back and Tears gave it to the 1st caller on the phone line he posted, I didn’t think it would be me especially after my behavior several years ago but it was.
I go into the lobby and am shocked at how many people I remember from 6 yrs ago and on the other hand all the newbie’s. If I had a wish that could be filled it would be that people show more RESPECT for each other. I think from being banned, that was the biggest lesson I learned, RESPECT. If you give respect most of the time you will receive respect.
At USA chat some people claim it to be boring, but always remember that you the chatters can change that. If you have a suggestion for the site bring it up to a ADMIN or MOD. The site had karaoke at 1 time but seems too had faded, they have campouts also. Remember that staff rather help talk you through an issue than see a member Banned, we are a family. If you keep a positive attitude then things can’t help but get better.
Remember NO HATE at USA, only LOVE.
I have seen it all and been part of it so be part of the solution and help out your chat site….USA CHAT.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/AZ_STEVE/blog/my-experience-at-usa-chat/ Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:41:40 +0000 AZ_STEVE http://www.usachatnow.com/community/JackieWhitney/blog/usa-chat-now-experiences/ There are so many topics one person could write about in a blog. People have strong feelings for thousands of topics that they could write about for h... Social sites such as USA Chat Now, are used to build new friendships with people from all around the country. It is a place where anyone can go and meet people that are just like them, that maybe in there lifetime they could never meet anywhere else. Sites such as this one, as well as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter, are so popular because it eliminates bounderies that people face in thier everyday lives. I, myself, would not be able to talk to people from other states without a site like this, and neither could anyone else. It's great to learn of different cultures and different opinions from someone else in this world other then your own. This community makes it all the much easier to do that.
I myself am one to help others as much as I can and when I can. Coming on here and in the Lobby Chat Room, people ask questions, and need help with certain things. Helping people by giving advise or just to lend an ear, is a great way to give back to those who have helped you in real life, or even just on the internet.
From being in these chat rooms and meeting the people that are active in the Lobby, some of them seem to be a family. I would love to be apart of that experience. I have a family of my own at home in real life, but having a whole other one on the internet is an amazing experience. You learn so much from the people in the community. My sister is also a member of this community, and she feels the same way. We both sat down for a minute and talked about this Blog posting contest. And have both come to the same conclusion. By just entering this contest, and having our thoughts read and viewed by hundreds of people, and just letting others read how we view USA Chat Now, is not just worth a Free VIP Status, but it is worth much more then that. There is someone out there that feels the same way me and my sister do about this specific web site, and even though they might not have of entered into this contest, there voice is still herd from me writing this. That to me is worth more then a thousand VIP memberships, and I am sure she feels the same way.
You may feel worthless and disrespected, or even mistreated, or maybe just want someone to talk to, that won't judge you. Well my friends, this is the place to come to. USA Chat Now, is filled with thousands of people that are just here to talk or listen.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/JackieWhitney/blog/usa-chat-now-experiences/ Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:25:49 +0000 Jackie Whitney http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/boobies/ Breast is best and

Yet there is never a set mood, and what ...
The Silent Chatter: This is a variety of people. It can be, firstly, someone new, unsure, shy or just lazy. More often than not though they opt to loiter instead of participate - please refer to my Ode to the Lurker.

The Mono Chatter: This kind of chatter prefers to stick to one word sentences in a monosyllabic fashion, mainly in response to other chatters' comments. Can come across as either very dull or very interesting depending on what single words they choose to use.

The Hi/Bye Chatter: Generally the Hiyabya spends a majority of their time greeting, welcoming back and saying farewell to fellow chatters using up all their energy on this so they have nothing left to chat with. Though sometimes they are just not very interesting people.

The Blaster Chatter: This chatter is loud! Their aim is to entertain or shock other chatters with outrageous statements in either a random fashion, or in relation to topics being discussed at the time. The Blaster is not shy and is armed with an overly extrovert personality, often fuelled by alcohol and drugs.

The Mojo Chatter: This is the male flirt. He has his mojo well and truly on as he flirts relentlessly with the ladies in the room. His style makes it acceptable and somewhat flattering but he can come across as a player in a public peacock strutting way.

The Slinky Chatter: The Slinky is the female equivalent of the Mojo. She is aptly named for her slinky style of chat that has all the men swooning making their slinkies go 'boing'!

The Boner Chatter: This male chatter is incessantly horny! The Boner pervs all the women in the room, especially those with photos in their profile. They are often into kinky sex and have unusual fetishes.

The Dripper Chatter: This is the female equivalent of the Boner. She is never shy in declaring her sexual needs and desires. The Boner and Dripper eventually sniff each other out (pardon the pun)leaving the other chatters in peace.

The Clown Chatter: As the title suggests, the Clowns main aim is to be funny and make other chatters laugh. If it was possible to juggle or tap dance in a virtual way, the Clown will be the one doing it. Sometimes the Clown can be somewhat irritating to the more laid back chatters, as can the Blaster, especially when they go on a bad joke tirade.

The Doomer Chatter: Aptly named for their love of doom and gloom, the Doomer is a huge fan of conspiracy theories, especially the '2012', which they endorse at every available opportunity. Often iggied.

The Alien Chatter: The Alien is foreign, hence the name. They use bad English to express their desires to learn good English and huge cultural differences means they never understand what anyone is actually chatting about.

Whichever chatter you become or encounter, the experience is always guaranteed to be entertaining, enlightening, exciting, endearing, excruciating, erotic, exotic and neverending.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/Irisaphylla/blog/mood-swings-and-chatter-boxes/ Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:12:33 +0000 kirstin ritchie http://www.usachatnow.com/community/illusions/blog/community/ I have spent a substantial amount of time perhaps too much time, contemplating the current social structure.

Our paper route was huge, that morning as Mom woke us up for the paper route. I looked out side on top of the snow lay a layer of ice.
"This is going to get interesting" I thought and made sure mysister was awake and went out side and got our paper bundles.
After what seemed for ever we finally got em rolled and our bags packed.
As we hit the first street we were to deliver on and had fallen to many times to count we finally made it to our first house. Going up the steps it was a pretty striaght shot to the last house on the corner.
on the very corner of the street in the sidewalk was a metal sewer cover. As soon as my foot hit it I think I did a flip in midair and landed flat on my back with no hopes of getting up without help.
My sister proved to be no help at all! For one she was laughing to hard to even have any luck at getting me up. Thankfully 2 of our friends saw what happened and came and helped my sister get me up.
After a bit of a struggle we finally got me back on my feet. Walked to the other side didn't see the sewer lid and once again landed flat on my back side.
My poor sister didn't stand a chance once again she was about on her butt from laughing to hard.
After I got back on my feet my sister looked at me and says " Well Kitty Sewers 2 Kitty nuthin but a sore rump"
Slip sliding all the way through the paper route that day it took us twice as long. By that night my rump was supporting 2 rather large bruises in the middle of one u could just about make out the word sewer.
I guess the sewers won that round.... I had the bruise to prove it!]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/kittylove020969/blog/sewer-two-kitty-nutin-but-a-sore-rump/ Sun, 24 Jul 2011 11:05:37 +0000 karen crim http://www.usachatnow.com/community/kittylove020969/blog/kitty-s-window/ Growing up with a twin has got to be the best thing ever.. most the time. But I was doubly blessed. A year and six months behind us is another set of ... Where ever you seen one the other three wasn't to far behind.
And when one got bored that was usually when the four of us would get into trouble.
One summer day, my sisters and brother and myself were sitting in Sharon's (my twin) bedroom wondering what we could do.
Then it hit me! Mom had been complaining for some time our house needed painting.
I talked the other three into helping mom out and went down stairs and we each grabbed a can of paint.
Being that we were fairly young at the time, no one was allowed on a ladder so we could only paint as high as we could reach.
Hours later we were done..........
That was when we had realized our mistake... the house had been painted 4 different colors.
My side was a nice white.
My sister Jody's side was some where between puke green and pea green
My brother side was a really pretty color of blue.
And then Sharon's side was yellow complete with red smiley faces.
We were so proud of our handiwork we went flying in the house screaming for mom to see our work.
Once mom saw our work she went to her bedroom and STAYED for the rest of the day!
That night as my father was coming in the front door my mother told him all about what HIS children did that day.
(Mom had a theory, when us kids were good we were her children.. when we were bad we were my dads. )
My father took one lap around the house and came in ... laughing !
He very patiently , looked at all four of our faces and said" Kitty the next time you four want to paint the house, one the windows dont get painted too and Sharon we could have REALLY done with out the art work but that is fine kids. Because this weekend we are putting siding on the house and all four of u is going to to help."
I looked at dad and said "But Daddy there is one problem with that."
My Dad asked what the probelm was and i told him.
"EVERY TIME i try to nail a nail in the wall it goes in like this. " and showed him a bent nail with my finger.'
Dad being the patient man he is, told me not to worry about it we would deal with it when the time comes
That Saturday, my dad showed up with a whole bunch of nails the siding and everything we needed for the project.
Showing us kids how to snap and nail the siding to the house. We were soon busy putting up the siding. True to form ALL my nails went in bent.
Dad seeing this told me to pull the nails,so I started jerking nails out of the wall, I guess I got carried away for the next thing i knew there was a rather large whole in my parents living room and I was looking straight at my dad who was at that very moment watching football.
Seeing what I had done, he shouted for me to stop.
Racing outside he very angrily told me I was on clean up duty and finished what I had messed up. The whole became a window.. and above the window hung a sign.

What one didn't think of the other DID!
When we were about 10 yrs old me and my sister decided we were going to surprise my dad for his birthday and make him a homemade cake from scratch.
After allot of begging and pleading my mother finally said "yes" grabbing the cook book we put in everything that had been called for in a bowl we came to one spot that said "A pinch of salt" my sister looked at me and asked what a pinch was. I not having any idea.. said " I don't know so lets put half a cup in just to make sure"
After the cake came out of the oven, it was a nice pretty golden brown... by some miracle we didn't burn it.. frosted and decorated it.
That night in front of family, neighbors, and friends.. we brought out our cake.
Being it was my dad's birthday we cut him off a good sized chunk.
Dad took a bite of our cake and two seconds later started spitting cake all over the kitchen.
My dad coughed and choked and there for a second I thought he was gonna blow chunks allover our house full of guests.
Then in a very strained voice he asked me and my sister how much salt we put in the cake.
I answered "Well Dad the cook book said "a pinch" so to make sure we put in enough we put in half a cup"
my fathers face turned GREEN! And EVERYONE immediately busted up laughing.
My aunt who was rolling on the floor laughing her head off (Not literally but close enough) took us girls back in the kitchen and helped us make another cake.
Once again we decorated the cake and as I was taking it into the living room my sock found the ONLY nail in the floor and tripped sending the cake flying up into the air only to land frosting side down in my mothers lap.
My father not missing a beat turns to a very stunned crowd and said " ok everyone grab a fork we dont need plates we're eating it off my wife's lap"
Needless to say ALLOT of cake went to waste that day.]]> http://www.usachatnow.com/community/kittylove020969/blog/stories-of-my-childhood/ Fri, 22 Jul 2011 07:00:24 +0000 karen crim
