Instant chat feature?

Is there a feature to chat with a member that is online at the same time? Just curious. Like the site very much and if that is a feature that can be added it would be great. I see when a member is online (green indicator) but not sure if we can chat.. Thanks Mike

Cost, availability and expiration of HCG

The HCG diet is apparently driving up costs and making HCG difficult to find. I live in northern California, 1hr north of SF, and the cheapest price found so far was 190.00 for 10,000 iu!! Compounding pharmacies are out here and Costco doesn't carry it. Brutal! My boys are like the French army...
