This topic is about reconnecting and offering support within the ostomy community, particularly through online chats and volunteer work. Here's a friendly breakdown of what's happening:

- Mooza, who is from Australia, is mainly active on Facebook now but still wants to stay connected and help others in the ostomy community. She continues to volunteer in Australia and plans to drop by occasionally to offer support.

- Mooza lives in Port Melbourne, enjoys the spring racing season, and is looking to reconnect with old chat friends. She also wants to resolve a password issue to get back in touch with Bill.

- For Tippy, who is in the Yarra Valley area, Mooza volunteers every Tuesday with the Colostomy Association of Victoria (CAV). If Tippy contacts CAV about supplies, Mooza can get Tippy’s mobile number and call back, as there are not enough volunteers to handle every request.

Here are some helpful tips and insights for participating in the community:

1. Friday Night Chat is still happening at 11 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. Zeppo adds a fun twist by giving extra points for witty or provocative comments.

2. To access chat rooms, click the "General Chat Room" link on the site's home page. Check the left-hand column to see how many members or guests are online, as active chats depend on who is logged in.

3. Participation can be a bit of a waiting game due to low activity levels, so patience is key. Also, remember to convert the time from U.S. Eastern Time if you're in Australia.

4. Some members mention cost concerns, noting they can't afford full membership but still value any opportunity to chat.

5. Another Australian member welcomes Mooza and suggests connecting, mentioning they are in the Yarra Valley near Melbourne.

6. The Colostomy Association of Victoria (CAV) is a potential contact point for Australian ostomates looking for supplies or volunteer support.
