I like facebook and don't make any apologies for being there. I have re-connected with friends and relative I never would have reconnected with. I love the Welcome Sit Stay I sponsor in conjunction with a public radio where they feature a shelter dog or cat then post photos on FB. I get invited to lots of local events that I may not have been invited to because I work in a sort of bubble that most of my friends aren't in. I love seeing the photos of my grand nieces and nephews. Since most of them don't live near here, I wouldn't see those otherwise. I like getting local news updates, following my favorite baseball players, helping people reconnect with lost pets and hundreds of other things.

I'm sorry I missed your birthday, John. I was driving all day. I bet you had more fun!

I haven't been E and T because of Facebook. When I was posting the most here, I was also posting a lot on Facebook. I've just been busy outside my house. Baseball took me away from the computer for 43 nights over the summer. I have other regular activities, not to mention mowing the yard, doing other yard work and everything that goes with it and when I"m at the office right now, I need to work as much as I can as this summer trounced me financially and while I can see that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, it's still in the distance. So, me not being here, has nothing to do with FB

I will add, that when I stop in here and there aren't really any posts to read, I go back to facebook rather than posting a bunch of things just so there will be posts. But.....I really care about the people here so I do come back.

Thus endeth my FB tirade.

Or my why are you blaming FB tirade

Hi Laura, Hi JohnG

Cillaliz · « **Reply #158 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:33:36 PM »

BK, if I posted as many dog, cat and baseball posts here as I do on FB, you'd be begging me to go back to FB

Laura · « **Reply #159 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:34:25 PM »

I like Facebook in that I can control who reads my posts.

DR Elmore, I really do like having a professional page and a personal page on FB. I can be friends with clients on my professional page and they don't see all my family photos etc. I do like it that way

I do that too.

DR Laura, I have seen some monarchs and the lavender farm that has a butterfly photo contest in August, is posting that they are arriving now. They are about a month later than usual

Laura · « **Reply #163 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:38:23 PM »

We are finding that here, too. I usually have one or more by now.

I never get very many, but I always have some.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #164 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:57:06 PM »

I haven't been at the lake. One of the trees they really liked died so I don't think judging from my parents' yard makes any sense. There is a big push up here to plant milkweed and they had a tagging event a couple weeks ago at the prairie

Cillaliz · « **Reply #165 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:57:33 PM »

At least people are trying.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #166 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:05:15 PM »

To help the monarchs, that is

The show is going well and our one-man audience is enjoying it.

This is a good sign.

A captive audience.

Whatever it takes.

Hi Cilla!

Jack, I am so sorry to read about your father. My payers for you and your family.

Laura · « **Reply #170 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:15:52 PM »

That reminds me -- I have some seeds to mail to you, Cillaliz.

TCB · « **Reply #171 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:17:54 PM »

Ginny, I am so sorry to read about your mother. I am glad that your mother is in a place that can continue to assist her.

TCB · « **Reply #172 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:18:39 PM »

Hi Laura. Thank goodness for warranties!

TCB · « **Reply #173 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:58:10 PM »

I am listening to MACK AND MABEL for about the 300th time this year. I love this score.

TCB · « **Reply #174 on:** September 29, 2015, 11:00:50 PM »

I have a friend who is determined to direct that show, regardless of the libretto problems.

TCB · « **Reply #175 on:** September 29, 2015, 11:03:03 PM »

I guess I'm the guilty party who posts a bunch of things just so there will be posts.

TCB · « **Reply #176 on:** September 29, 2015, 11:04:00 PM »

So, I guess I will shut up and go to bed.

Back from a mediocre meal at Pinot (outdoors) and then a somewhat mediocre new production of The Sound of Music.
