Ladies,
Some of you added me to your friends on facebook and I tried
to reply to every wall. But I think I may have missed some.
I'm not that comfortable with posting and gettin' around
facebook, yet. Boomers' is the only site I visit as much as
time permits. Facebook is cool but I'm not used to it. If I
missed some of the "confirming a friend" procedures on facebook I apologize. If I didn't reply, please redo it and
I'll be more careful next time around. Thanks. jabber

well, you did right by me!

Don't worry, Jabber. Whatever the technology is, someone will be new at it at some point. And then we learn, and someone else will be the new one. No point in worrying too much. We've all been new once (at least.)

Crap, I still don't know which way is up on a cell phone. But hey, I always figure it out before the other person hangs up.

It all takes practice. I remember when I launched these forums, I was a bit lost at the beginning too. Still am when it comes to posting photos. Sigh...

Photos are easy. Just click the Share button, then click photos, then follow the prompts to upload from your computer. I love how you can upload an album fairly quickly, too.

Thanks for understanding. The day I had problems, several people
added me as a friend on facebook. I started to go through the
process of confirming that they were indeed friends, and then
I accidentally deleted the email list and lost a couple of the names, which needed to be confirmed. But it was accidental and I didn't want anyone's feelings hurt.

Jabber, I found Facebook to be confusing too. I'm sure I'm still missing updates and fotos from friends, because I can't find them. Whatever, I really prefer BWS. Facebook is more for sharing photos and playing games.

Diamond, I find posting photos just as easy here. It's the same principle.

Thanks Ed3. I was afraid it was just me. I'm lucky I can get
this far. Forget the photo thing. Besides I take a horrible
picture. Had to get a new driver's license this week. The picture
of myself nearly scared me to death. Sure not looking forward
to getting that in the mail. I wanted an enhanced EDL so I could
go to Canada. I love Canada. But a person needs to prove they're
alive, before they'll give you an EDL. Take your birth
certificate. Well I've got 2, which one do they want?

I went to a marketing seminar that said -- "Social marketing is the new SEO." So I set up a Facebook home page and a fan page http://www.fbook.me/meredithbead

I still don't have Twitter or a blog, but maybe in 2010...

I really don't have any non-business photos to post. As for games, I limit myself to 30 minutes a day, if I feel I can spare the time.

Anne327,
I get on here and can't get away. I've got so much work to do
and sick people to visit and housework. I think I'm gonna limit
my time here, but it gets away from me. I don't how these people
find time to blog and go on so many sites, either.
