Hello hoovb: I second your concerns about privacy on Facebook. One of the key elements in protecting your privacy on any site is setting intransigent security options on your registered profile. If you need help with the security setting hoops within Facebook...please email me via Gardenweb or Facebook. :) The Facebook Roses Group is in its infancy. It's a place to chit-chat and connect with users on the Rose Forums. For those who already use Facebook or plan to do so, it may facilitate a facile mode of communication with fellow rose enthusiasts. I've befriended a few folks from the Rose forums and am looking forward to learning about their experiences with roses. Bottom-line, each individual has the final say on their decision making. Beauty in diversity! Tangent #1: Boardreader (note: (the link opens in a new window, so you will not navigate away from Gardenweb) is a search engine that that indexes and displays statistics on forum discussions. Hoovb, you top the list as the author with the most number of posts last week! Cool! :) Tangent #2: Did I ever reveal that I like bold and gaudy colors in roses. The stark color combination make me nostalgic about my home country.

I was up late crocheting...making a garland and more balls for my Steeler Tree for next Christmas! LOL! Yep...still in El Paso.I know what your son means,this isn't the nicest town,especially now with all the trouble in Juarez.A lot of people aren't friendly here,it's a different culture.Luckily my neighbors are all great though!

I see all of mine listed under Profile - Info - Activities and Interests - click on "Other." All of mine show there.

To make my point clearer. You can google my username and find my public posts. No problem. Your not going to find out 1 thing about Linda H. I googled a member's name and location and found out how old she was because it was mentioned in an article about her DUI auto wreck. I also found out she was in divorce proceedings. Of course, if you're alright with other KT members (and all the "friends" who have access) googling your name and location, so be it. Of course, I think this problem applies to all of Facebook.
