And the punches still keep coming .... BF now admits that he did meet a girl out - just as friends. When I asked if his personal page turned up anyone that he went out with, and his response was a flat "NO", I figured it was true. He said that this meeting didn't count - he met her on a telephone chat line, not the internet. Huh? I must have missed something. He just called to confess this to me - explaining how much he loves me and hurts to have kept it from me. Just wanted a "clear conscience", you know, in case we get back together, everything was "up front". Whatever. Forget the wine, I need something better. Got a couple tester's of Sky Melon in the fridge. Walking that way ....

Remember, Facebook is "free". Peoples "likes" are exactly what has value to Facebook. It's what is supposed to help in targeting advertisements. But that said you can disable like and comments by going to your friends lists. Click on your friends name, go to settings and uncheck the "comments and likes" button. You have to do this for each individual friend. Of course that sort of defeats the purpose of Facebook since it is about social networking. A lot of people view FB as a way to keep in touch with family (sort of an enhanced email service without having to actually go email someone) but that really wasn't it's purpose. So it defaults to it's real purpose which is a constant news feed of all activity. Your choice is to cull your friends, Opt out of comments and likes or use the hide button as the feed comes in. If you do disable likes and comments the only way you will see your friends activity is to visit their page. So it's a double edged sword to cut their feed.

I was just wondering where Tamara is. Haven't seen a post from her in a very long while. Course, I'm often gone for a week at a time. Maybe a newbie on duty? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to why threads disappear. It's very odd to have read a post then go back to it and it's disappeared into thin air. Maybe it'll keep happening enough that I won't start scratching my head before I figure it out! :)

"Our vice president today blatantly disregarded the separation of church and state. He proclaimed his religious beliefs while on the clock and inserted his intentions in how they influence his representation of our country." Good! I pray all the time for our Country. And honestly, when is the VP *not* on the clock?
