In her unceasing effort to keep you, her cher public, in touch and yakking, La Cieca has discovered a way to set up an always-open, always-active chat room launching directly from parterre.com. (For the technically minded among you, it’s an applet called Yaplet, and, yes, La Cieca realizes that it sounds about as silly as “a Woozle named Peanut.”) Anyway, to join in the chat, just click here or else on the “Chat Here” Yaplet badge in the sidebar.
