Is there any way to block a friend on FB that your sorry you invited them in? Other than cancelling FB and starting over is there another way?

Thanks

Greetings All! Im so glad you all enjoyed reading this book together, a reading group of just regular non-gardening people may have not been able to identify so well with Dorothys triumphs and failures in the garden. Weve all been there one way or another. Martie, you bring up an interesting point on the money issue. I know many gardeners here who have seemingly no budgetary constraints, and can basically do whatever they wish, whenever they wish..since my garden is small I have the ability to budget for it , but only so far. I often dream up very grandiose plans I would execute if I had the funds. Instead I modify these plans to fit in with my budget. I was always a little envious of friends I knew as a child who had "playhouses". My vision of the perfect Little House now involves a porch-like Dorothys, windows, and a small greenhouse attached. My initial reaction to the Fred chapter was a bit different from some of you---I found Norah to be a wholly unsympathetic character- self-absorbed and unfriendly. I would never let one of my children talk me into planting something in the wrong location , and in any case I think they would defer to my experience and not insist on a bad plant decision. I guess Dorothy did not want to rock the boat. Having said that, Dorothy wrote the Fred chapter and must know how unflattering it was to Norah. Is this why you found it manipulative Woody ? One thing that I often lost sight of while reading is the fact that this garden was for the most part, a vacation home . This was not their primary residence , and this really makes Dorothy something of a part-time gardener. Could you ever envision yourself as apart-time gardener? Not me. If I had two houses, Id have two gardens. Maryglad you posted ! And you story of your Grandfather was wonderful, thanks for sharing it with us. As we continue to discuss this book I am pondering what we might like to read next. I have a couple of ideas, but am wondering if any of you would like to put forth a suggestion ? I am still favoring the idea of not starting our new book till after Christmas-I will have company and Im sure many of you will too-it gets pretty hectic and want this to be a leisurely read, not a stressful one . Be back tomorrow ! Kathy in Napa

another facebook issue even for those not on facebook

unfortunately no Mike it could be enemies or those frienimies that once were friends and are no longer, often times they would do things like that simply because they can and they know it would be upsetting. Those people likely would not honor a request to please not do that. Or people that just get off on being A-holes they seem to be abundant. Also some people have been in groups or clubs etc and are no longer part of them, pictures of groups end up and not everyone in the group pic said it was ok to plaster their image every where. In fact I have been in pictures as a by stander and found my pic, had no idea it was there was never asked to be in a picture or to have it posted. Used to they had to ask permission to use your pictures and get signed release forms. Not to mention just being the polite thing to do. the thing about facebook is the opt out feature not opt in which makes if a bit different ballgame.

Calling Invisible Women
Q

You're right, all of you, and thanks for the reality checks and the very good advice. I have a great husband of going on 30 years who loves me and treats me wonderfully . . . and whom I adore. I'm healthy and that's what really counts. I think it was just the VS store that got to me yesterday. They're having their BIG semi-annual sale this week and the place was filled with young women in their late teens, twenties and thirties. And I was invisible to them . . . or they looked at me and knew I had to be there with my daughter and not for myself. I actually felt self-conscious holding items for her while she searched for her Size 3 things.(Sigh) Even half of me is no longer a size 3 (LOL)! Lynn

Invisible Fence Question
Q
Comments (24)
People dont be morons the training helps but is not a fail safe. I house sit and have watched a variety of professionally trained dogs bust right thru when they feel like it and watched some poorly trained ones never set foot near the edge no matter what is on the otherside. I am no fan of the IF alone. I use it in conjunction with a real fence...keeps other dogs, animals and children out while the IF makes sure they cant get close enough to dig under. To answer the original question the wire can be used with any system and for a couple hundred at home depot (or online) you can get the petsafe brand and the collar and hook it right up. NO need for a heavier guage or any of that.

well deleting a facebook account is not really easy. You can deactivate it but believe me that is not the end of it! that does NOT delete it or your info. I try to make everyone understand you MUST take a lot of steps and effort to get this task done which should be a simple thing but they really don't want you to go so get ready to jump through those hoops!
How to Really Delete Your Facebook Account

In case that method does not work here is the long method
Longer Method

YET one more reason I will never be on facebook! something that should be done with one click is made so difficult to accomplish and will only be done after you wait 14 days.

Yes, I know it takes two weeks to clear up providing you stay away FB as I was a member a few years back and quit..I think they keep your info forever though as it transferred all my email contacts even though I had a new email address. I had the option of only blocking two people from coming through and the rest were, not visible so they sent those names asking to them to be my friend...without my permission. Just a hassle for me...FB is over bearing.

but did you follow those specific directions as given in the link provided? if not it is only deactivated and will not ever be deleted.What you say happened should NOT happen if the steps to delete fully are done but it will if only deactivated.

I meant that I requested to be permanently deleted in my earlier post not deactivated.

Zep, thanks for that article. I changed lots of settings, so hopefully I am now in "stealth mode."

Just saw this interesting article, I know several large companies that check all the social sites before hiring and after.
Who is Watching You On Facebook?

I was on a forum once where someone told way too much info about a law-suit they were involved in, it was found and copied by those involved and actually used in court, NOT to her benefit. It really amazes me sometimes the info people put out there.

I understand the privacy issues but if we're all invisible on Facebook doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of Facebook?
