JUST A THOUGHT: Do give books, religious or otherwise, for Christmas. They’re never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal. – Lenore Hershey

NOTES TO SHARE: Where conducting meetings via Zoom or other apps is concerned, I have a few notes to share.
To the hosts of zoom, please provide more simple meeting ID’s and passcodes that can allow guests to enter.
It can be so stressful to type out combinations of letters and numbers, some in capital letter, others in small, etc. Make it simple, not mix-up’s.
Find a corner in your house where it’s neat and there’s good lighting. You and your house will want to look photogenic, if not desirable.
Listen to the host intently as he directs traffic in the Q and
A portion.
Watch out for signs and symbols, such as Chat, or Raise Hand, in case you want to participate.
Observe basic courtesy. Speak only when the host calls you. A zoom con is not a meet-and -greet session.
Remember to mute your device unless it’s your turn to speak. If you don’t, people can hear everything, all the hullabaloo that’s going on in your household.
Feed yourself before joining a virtual meeting. You can get hungry in a 2-hour straight online conference.
Your stomach will start to grumble, and that’s when you realize how much better, and more satisfying, it is to attend a physical press conference!
Hosts, then, should not hold online meets at 12 noon, not unless they send food packs to the homes of attendees.
