At our last reader’s chat, we discussed having chats where we talked about things other than a short story. On those Saturdays, we’ll all show up prepared to talk about whatever topic has been selected. In some cases, that means typing information out ahead of time so we can copy and then paste the information to chat.

For example, suppose you were going to write a paragraph or two about yourself, so that we can all get to know each other better. That would be a lot to type manually in the chat room while everyone is waiting. It would be much better to type it out ahead of time into Word, Wordpad, or Notepad (or any editor) and then paste it, one line at a time to the chat room.

I emphasize that you should paste it one or two lines at a time because if you pasted all 2 or 3 paragraphs into a chat room all at once, you might flood people offline, including yourself, disconnecting them from the chat room or the chat server.

You can use any word editor program like Notepad, Wordpad, or Word to prepare your paragraphs ahead of time. Then ,using one of the methods described below, copy a line of text and paste it into Readers Chat.

When we talked about this idea last Saturday, some people said they weren’t sure how to Copy and Paste in chat. So, hopefully we’ll explain how to do that below.

Select from one of the following options:

Copy from a mIRC chat window using a mouse

Copy from a Kiwi chat window using your mouse

Copy from mIRC using a laptop without a mouse

Copy from KiwiChat using laptop without a mouse

Move your mouse cursor to the left side of the text you want to copy. Then, hold down the left mouse button and drag your mouse cursor across the text you want to copy, then let go of the mouse button.

The text you highlight WILL NOT stay highlighted.
But, you will have copied it.

To test this, copy some text using the method explained above, then move your cursor to the area in miRC where you normally type. Then click the right mouse button and select Paste. You should then see your copied text. Note: you can also Paste by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing V.

Now I have updated adobe flash but keep getting same message as above.

1. If you are using mIRC or Ice Chat, just type:
/server chat.koach.com 6667
    and then, once you are connected:
/join #readers_corner

2. To use our webchat: 

Our web chat is down at the moment due to the issues using Flash. We hope to have our new one up soon. But, until then, please use Step 3.

3. If you can not get in the chat room using the instructions above, you can also use this link:
https://tinyurl.com/y68da9v4

That link will take you to Mibbit.com which also has a webchat you can use.
You will also be asked for a nickname, so enter one.

For your information the tiny URL shown above is a shortened version of this URL:
http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=696a272a105f5c6f2b04ff956ea075d0&server=irc.koach.com&channel=%23readers_corner

Either will work.

Please post any questions you have here, and I will answer them ASAP.

Koach

by Dorothy Parker

This is a short story that is almost 100 years old that still stands up to the test of time.  The tribal politics and socials views are present in this story, albeit in a more nascent manner. This is a short-short story that I feel is entertaining.

I am submitting this story as a suggestion for #ReadersCorner.

Thank you

There is a YouTube audio reading of story as well:
