I didn't used to Facebook, but now I do. I got sucked into FB this Fall by relatives. Certain of my close relatives stopped keeping in touch with me and said that if I wanted to know what they were up to i needed to just join FB. So, I reluctantly joined. Just like Nikki, I sometimes 'lurk' without posting on GW, for months on end... Mainly this happens when I get hit by one or more life crises. Crises that will put my GardenWebbing on hold include: *Family getting military orders to move overseas, which caused me to lose garden space...We were all packed & had sold our home and were in the airport when the orders got cancelled at the last minute and we had to suddenly find another place to live in the same city we thought we were exiting. None of the affordable places to live had any garden space! :P *Looking for a job in a state 2000 miles from where I was raised, to increase family income so we could afford a place with a garden-- This search was hampered by culture shock and racial discrimination. Racism isnt supposed to happen here, but it happens anyway. * Finding job after 5 months then losing said very hard to find job 2 months later, due to global recession. * My husband's surgery to repair an injury * My own severe illnesses and surgeries--I had more than one health emergency last year, possibly due to all the stress. *Grieving loss of family member (includes loss of pregnancy). * Going back to college, then having to drop back out due to economic and health factors. Last year (2009) was insanely stressful for me because I had all of the above crises occur within one year! They say God never gives us more than we can handle. And I handled it alright. But sometimes I wish God didn't trust me to get through so very much, LOL ;) These are the sorts of situations that can easily throw my life out of wack and require me to take a break from GW. It just happened this past year that I needed a really LONG break because my life had just gotten too harsh for me to even keep a garden. Well, I'm glad to finally be back and to have a garden again. :)

Hi Chubs! Well, I just tried on DH's page. I went to his page, clicked on the .."Write Post Add Photo / Video" clicked on post photo, browsed my files, chose a file, it loaded and then I clicked on post. And it did show up on his page... It did NOT show up on MY homepage, but when I clicked on MY name at the top of the facebook page, it DOES say I posted a pic on his page.

I logged into Spotify today using an account that I created just with a Hotmail email address. I have a Hotmail account specifically for this kind of purpose. It only puts email into my inbox if the sender is in my address book, and all else goes into the junk folder. When I sign up for something, I go into the junk folder to find confirmation of the account, and I can then move that to my inbox or leave it as junk, if I do not want to be bothered again.
