So who has a facebook account?

16 years ago

My youngest son persuaded me to join Facebook a few months ago,and i have to say it's a great way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones.

I have found some long lost relatives that I had been wondering about and renewed aquaintenance with some old school pals that I had lost touch with.

Between garden web and facebook,I'm surprised I get anything done around here!

Me! I have also connected with some old friends from school and some cousins that I don't see very often. I am not into all the applications and gifts and fun wall and all that but I do love Scrabulous!

I HAD to join so that I could see my son's photos while he's studying in Australia this semester.

OT: My email account has been hacked too
Q

Well, I'm sorry to have been part of the problem. Yes, Karyn, it erased my email address book and hubby's too. I feel kinda leery of opening any emails now. I have received several from Mariam recently with no subject that I deleted, and another that was suspicious, saying someone "needed some advice"- too close to someone "needing your help"!!! I let everyone know that I could by posting on FB but not everyone is on Facebook. Good luck getting back on track, whomever was hacked. My aunt was even hacked from me, and she is 77- what a PITA for her!! ~Brenda B

So who has cicadas?

Just like with plants, animals also can only really be properly specified with the correct scientific name. Common names really don't mean much unless both parties happen to be in agreement about what they want to call whatever they are talking about. That said, here are some common names for some of the creatures mentioned so far: Cicadidae (the most commonly encountered Cicada family with over 2,500 species) = Cicada (a common version of the proper name, at least in the case of the Cicadidae family), Locusts (although not related to many of the insects more commonly referred to locusts), Jar Fly Popillia japonica = Japanese Beetle, Jitterbug Phyllophaga (a genus with over 800 species according to some sources) = June Bug, June Beetle, May Beetle, Scarab Beetle Cotinis nitida = Green June Beetle, June Bug (Wikipedia says this name applied to this species is a misnomer for whatever the heck that's worth.)

Can you trust Yahoo & Hotmail email accounts or Facebook?

Interesting. Thanks for posting this. I double checked my settings and adjusted what I could in hotmail. Though I couldn't find the "permissions" link. I don't get why people would actually fill out all that info (phone numbers etc.) What's the point? I really wish they wouldn't do stuff like that. It's enough to make me want to delete my account. I still might.

"...he can't stop. He goes out with the guys after work for a few beers and comes home 5 hours later. He drives home like that, when he can barely walk. He staggers and falls down and sometimes throws up. This sometimes in front of the kids." Could have stopped the post right there. Serious jerk/loser. Why have you tolerated this apparently-repeated behavior? You're not looking real good yourself right now as a woman, wife, or mother. "He used to call me up from the bar and tell me how much he loves me and that he's sitting there telling his friends about his wife and how much he loves me." And you tolerated that, too? Astonishing! "Does anyone have any advice? I don't know what to do." Of course you do. You just haven't allowed yourself freedom from your emotions sufficiently to think clearly about it. Hopes and wishes aren't going to handle this. You've got a real sleaze on your hands. For your children, if not yourself, get out of there. Do it yesterday. "I'm just devastated." And you have been for a while. Get over it. Things are as they are. Wishing they were different hasn't accomplished anything and never will. No sense wallowing in this hopelessness. It's a very real problem requiring a very rational decision. Your emotion and self-pity are obstructions to the actions required. Put them on the shelf, gird you loins, and do what needs to be done. In addition to getting free of this jerk, it appears to me you've got some work to do on yourself.

me. I LOVE Scrabulous too!!!

I actually like myspace better than facebook because I just like the layout better and you have more freedom with your page, but I have accounts on both.

I do. I just got one when there was a discussion about it on here recently. It seemed to only way to see what it was like was to join. So far I am kind of lost, not knowing what to do or how to make use of it. ...Of course I haven't gone back to try again after that first time when I made the account. It seemed to stop on the point where I was supposed to email my friends to tell them to join...and I didn't want to do that. But yesterday, someone friended me and I got an email from Facebook asking if I wanted to add them, so I did. Then I went to her page, but it seemed to have almost no info about her - a very sparse profile. But from there, I could click on my 'face' and get to my page, for the first time. Previously, I didn't manage to get to my page to see it as it looks to anyone else who would visit it. So that is some progress anyway. I don't know how she connected with me to friend me... maybe through a hobby search, there. But she doesn't have any hobbies or info like that listed on her profile, so.....?

I do want to go see what I can do there again, and I am going to go there in a little while, but won't have much time to spend figuring stuff out until after Easter. Any help or advice will be appreciated. :)

I do not have Facebook but I do have MySpace. I am still learning some things on Myspace but I do like it and
I also need to add a recent pic there of myself. One day I may check out Facebook.

I too have a Facebook account...I really enjoy it!

Long lost friends have been able to find me as well as relatives that otherwise may not have.

Some of the friends found me thru a "Classmates" site....high school days from the 70's,so maybe that is how your friend found you,Wanda,only thru the hobby account...anywhere that your email address may be,ppl that use Facebook can make a connection.

Go to your Facebook acct., click on "home" in the top right corner of that first page...that gives you the news updates on the list of friends that you have..you will have a list,given time.(I will send a connection to you thru my Facebook once I am thru here,just so you can get a little start)
You can then view my page,AFTER you accept me as a friend..thats the thing with Facebook,should anyone that you do not know try to connect with you,you do not have to accept.
Once you are in my page,you can see any and everything that I have on it.
As far as what you put on your Face acct., that is entirely up to you...it IS a little confusing at first,but so are most forums or sites that are new to us.
Another little word of advice,if you have Mozilla/Firefox,Facebook wil work better..without it,it can be slow and even more confusing only because it works more like plain old dial up.
Watch for a new email that tells you that someone has invited you to Facebook Wanda..that will be me!
Above all,have fun!

I'm on Facebook. I can't do much with my page with Webtv but when I use my friend's computer I can work on it and add new things and accept or ignore invitations which I can't do with my Webtv. I keep in touch with my nieces to see what they are up to and look at their pictures especially my niece Meagen who lives out of town.

My niece Danielle and my friend Donna have a lot of things on their pages. I like how you can decorate them and send virtual gifts.

I've never received any spam through Facebook and their privacy policy is pretty good.

I think I have about 15 friends - mostly relatives though. I have 1 KT friend so far.

LOL I need to update my page soon, I think I still have a Valentine decoration that needs to be removed.
