Posting a profile pic on Facebook
Comments (8)Right, Susan. It is too big. Susan, When I first signed up on FB it was only to keep in touch with nieces and nephews who are now living in many areas: N, S, E, W. We have exchanged pics of grands, etc., and that has worked fine and now that I am reaching 90, that means they are aging also and sadly two have passed on. I thought it was time to at least give them a recent picture of their old, getting decrepit, Aunt, and use it as a Profile pic. I should have just used this one.

Comments (2)Well, I may have answered my own question. I went to the offending Facbook page source of the posts. and blocked them. I hope that works....See MoreWhen your friends post something you find offensive on Facebook...
Comments (83)Right now I just skim past -- consider the source and move on to the next post. Although it got a bit hairy on there after the Paris bombings. But I'd rather know that someone thinks a certain way -- they can bundle their thoughts and opinions up into some stupid meme, cherry picking their points. I do end up thinking a lot less of them as people. I avoid posting about politics or religion, myself -- but of course there are those observations that I don't consider political, but others might. I do value FB -- while I've learned some of my friends and relatives are shallow, I've learned that others have nuanced viewpoints and can express themselves very well, and I'd simply can't wait to travel the physical miles to just hang out and chat with them, over tea or wine. (And no, our viewpoints don't always match.) I also value seeing my cousin's renovations of the small church across the road from her original house -- she and her husband have done marvelous things with it, and have just finished adding a kitchen -- I think they're truly ready to move in and sell their original house. She also has my dream job -- she works for the Smithsonian, travelling around the world, bringing back artifacts, and setting up displays in DC. Without FB, I'd not be able to follow her like I am, now. I value getting back in touch with another cousin, two weeks younger than myself, whom I hadn't seen in person since we were fifteen -- her life diverged markedly when she vanished around age 16 to a troubled couple of decades apart from any of her relatives. FB helped re-unite her with myself and a few others of her relatives. I also re-connected with a good college roomie from back in the day. I valued getting updates from the daughter of a friend in a state over, who'd fallen, had a concussion, went into a coma. The daughter had access to her mother's account and shared information on my friend's recovery process to everyone. So, for all the ucky memes out there, and the vast overabundance of sharing of things that the writer did not create or write him or her self, there's gold at least among most of my FB friends. And I'll NEVER re-post/share something someone tells me I HAVE to share on my wall. No matter how well-meaning. Because I'm not the sort of person to "demand" it of others. PS: I have called people out on offensive posts. I really have it in for the cherry pickers who only pick the examples that buttress their "case", by pointing out other examples of such and such. I don't do it all the time, because sometimes I just can't be bothered....See MorePosted something on Facebook Marketplace
Comments (3)Why not try Craigslist? It may be a better choice for selling tickets anyway. There are a lot of people who don't use Facebook, especially males, while Craigslist is a typical site many people go to when looking for tickets....See More- 11 years ago
