Has your Facebook changed in the way it looks?

I just went to my DGD's Facebook page for her cupcake business.

It is completely different than it was. Very unattractive.

I've looked at several family and friends FBs and they are the same.

It is not the Timeline thing.

I asked her about it and she said it was not her choice, FB had said it would change.

I'm wondering if the change is because it is a business?

Guess I shouldn't post the URL here, but do any of you have a business on Facebook?

Sue, I think it is the timeline thing. A lot of pages are changing and they are starting with businesses first.

The timeline is a mess....and nobody seems to like it, which is pretty funny when you think about how FB is converting all accounts to timeline!!!

Yeah that is what they are calling the "timeline". Mine changed back when I signed up for Pinterest but now I think it's changed for everyone...supposedly anyway...

Has M/S changed its way of handling updates?

Well, that suggestion about the Microsoft Update page sounded good, but now I am more confused. The following are listed as high-priority updates for me: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 Download size: 69.2 MB , 22 minutes Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is a full cumulative update that contains many new features building incrementally upon .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and includes cumulative servicing updates to the .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 subcomponents. The .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update provides important application compatibility updates. This combined Service Pack and update is applicable to .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5. Details... Update for Windows XP (KB967715) Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install) Install this update to resolve an issue in which AutoRun features were not correctly disabled. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Details... Microsoft Office 2007 Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 2 (SP2) Download size: 35.6 MB , 11 minutes Service Pack 2 provides the latest updates to the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. Details... According to Add/Remove, I already have SP3 installed (though there is no mention of when that was done), so why would I need SP1 and/or SP2? Not only that, but the middle one in the above list, KB967715, is in Add/Remove as already installed on my computer, and so is SP1. So who's crazy here? Maybe I am going to be! Should I just go ahead and tell them all to be installed?

Your quilting style......has it changed?
Q
Comments (18)
Your nursing home sounds great, but am hoping I am a long way from ever having to use it. In recent years hubby has cut back on my fabric budget. In years past I would spend like $50 - $80 and buy all my fabric for a queen-size quilt all at one time. And in years past, and am finishing one up now, I have been very controlled in my quilting making quilts like backwards pinwheel and card tricks quilts. I am finally starting to accumulate some scraps and am finding that buying fabric in smaller quantities seems to gives me less fuss from hubby. So am starting to buy more fabric quarters and 2 yard segments here lately. So my next quilt that I make for me I want to be a scrap quilt, a Grandmother's Flower Garden, a simple version of it with just one ring per block. I have also learned how to machine applique and how to hand applique during the past 9 months so am finding it handy in those projects to use fabric quarters. I am finding ways to be a frugal quilter and buy things in small amounts so my husband doesn't freak out on me, LOL that way we can both be happy with my quilting projects. I have found a good pace though. I spend 2 to 3 years making a queen-size quilt and then in the years between I start additional queen-size quilts and make lap quilts and baby quilts. I try not to have more than 5 or 6 quilts going at any one time. The last 2 years I have been working on 9-inch block quilts. This year I am starting one that is a 12-inch block quilt. I am also participating in the Round Robin Seeds-N-Stitches Swaps and that has me trying out new things like machine applique. It does take me a little out of my comfort zone, but am happy to be learning new things. And I like to browse through the internet and print out free quilt patterns. Ones I might possibly make in future years. And I print them out in case those websites aren't there in the future. Well back to my quilting. :-) Best to you, Sandra

Curious. Has your feelings changed about your stepkids?

I havent been posting on here but for a few days. I can honestly say I do Love My SD very much. They are a part of my husband and to love him I have to love his kids somewhat b/c they are a part of him. Just because I love them dose not mean I always like them. They do dumb inmature things and say things that are better left unsaid. I do try and look at that as children if not mine but my husbands. And kids say and do dumb things to their parents. Dont know that it makes a difference if I am MOM or not I am married to DAD. And sometimes as adults we still treat our parents bad, and think they still dont know all we do. I love the grandkids I have from this marriage and wouldnt take any of that back(even if Im to young to be a grandmother) I really hope and pray my sd's grow up and do the right things for themselves and their children. I try to keep faith that things can only get better, that grown adults dont always act like children. Kasey

Has your approach to garden bed design changed?
Q
Comments (40)
I came across a really good article online (fine gardening magazine, I think) and it was about creating cohesiveness throughout your gardens by using color as a repetition as well as plants. For example, if you divided up a long bed into 3rds, you might have gold hostas, tall purple astilbes, and pink daylilies in the first third, then the middle third may be variegated blue and gold hostas, taller goatsbeard, shorter pink astilbes, and purple daylilies. The third section may have large blue or green hostas, gold heucheras in front, different pink daylilies, purple bellflowers or purple astilbes, etc. The point being that you can mix different types of plants and different varieties of the same plant when united by repetition of color. So for example, your eye lands on golds throughout the bed with the gold hostas, gold heuchera, perhaps a gold hakone grass, etc. The form of the daylilies and astilbes are repeated throughout, but the colors of the flowers and height can differ. At any rate, I am trying to use this technique this year to fill in some spots in the garden. Last night I divided some of my existing daylilies and placed the extras among some established hostas, I also divided a Liberty into 2 additional pieces and planted those in areas that needed the pop of gold. As everything leafs out, I will re-evaluate and continue to add more companion plants at the end of May.

I had seen some sites where the Timeline Splash thing was all over the page, but I thought that was a choice. Mine or family/friends pages haven't changed.

Why would FB does such a thing? Yeah, I know it is because they can!!

So I guess it is inevitable. What a shame.

Thanks for your replies.

My personal FB page is still the "old" look but a FB Page that I manage for my library has gone over to a version of the Timeline. I really don't like Timeline because of the way things are in two columns. Things seem to jump from left to right and back. It also takes a long time to load pictures. I do like the larger picture behind your profile picture. People have been creative with that.

I guess people are gradually being switched involuntarily to the Timeline. I wonder when mine will be changed.

I put my Timeline in one column by hitting "highlight" on each post I make.

The cover photos are fun, love that.

I've been "Timelined" and I hate it.

I noticed that even though I don't have timeline... which I hate, they are putting up notices on my page whenever my friends post a comment on "their" friends pages... I don't care if you say something to someone I have no clue who is. It is weird and I don't like it. Clutters up what I want to read. If you post to me, or on my status or whatever fine. but for you to make a comment on whoever's page it is, who is NOT a friend of mine, I don't care to have to scroll through it.

If that made any sense at all.

cwnev, if you look to the right of such messages, you'll see a little down arrow. If you click on that, you can make a choice as how to deal with such messages. You have to set your preferences yourself.

I found that I actually like the timeline. Not so much the look of it, but the capability of putting up things for the past. I've been having a lot of fun with it. I didn't like it at first, btw!

I just wish I could figure it out!!

OldGardener...how & where do you highlight to get t in one column?
oldgardener_2009
14 years ago
Country_bumpkin_al, when you make a post on your page, after it has posted, hold your cursor on the post and you'll see a star on the far right side. Click on the star and it'll highlight that post for you, which stretches it out all the way across the page.

The highlight feature wasn't meant for this purpose, but if your FB friends really hate reading your page in 2 columns, you could do this to each post you make.

(it might make any graphics you post kind of fuzzy)

Thanks OG!!! I don't think mine has changed yet! Still looks the same to me.

I know I can get them off my page, I just hate that they started showing up in the first place. I have in my preferences to see just my friends posting to me, but they changed it some how. Now when my cousin leaves a comment on a friend of hers page, it shows up on mine. Why? I don't know her friend. I am not friends with her. Then all the comments that come after show up also. It is terrible.

Might as well get off FB then. It'll never do anything right.

I chose to keep the old FB format and I'm fine -- no timeline.

Petaloid, how were you able to keep the old format? I think they could have at least given us a choice, which is what I thought it was going to be.

Hasn't changed yet. Hopefully the backlash will give us a choice before they do.

Mine finally changed over (automatically) a week or so ago. I had no choice in the matter.
