I haven't got much of a clue how I got on or why but there I am. I'm not sure how to do anything but, with Kim's help, I'll learn. Everybody seems to rave about Facebook but so far I can't see the draw...maybe after I learn how to use it!
I've spent so much time on this computer today that my butt is getting sore from sitting so long. I've got items I'm selling on Ebay, items I'm buying on Ebay, Facebook on the go, games to play, and my blog to write. I stopped just long enough to put an undercoat of paint on a wrought iron flower cart I bought to use as a display piece for selling my jewelry. I'm still in the ratty t-shirt I wear when I paint. Oh yes, and I had a nap because I've been awake since 3 A.M. I'm going through another patch of sleepless nights.
Kim sent some pictures of Nolan to my Facebook page and now I need to figure out how to send them on to friends. I might have a few hours to spare on Thursday. I'm starting to think that, as I declutter my house, I'm cluttering up my life with more flotsom and jetsom such as embarking on Facebook.
I have to say that just today, using Facebook, I've contacted and received replies from a couple of friends and relatives I haven't seen in a while so I guess it's a convenient way of keeping in touch. You only post a sentence or two instead of writing long e-mails. Remember when people wrote long letters on paper, stuffed them in a stamped envelope, and dropped them in the mailbox? That doesn't seem so long ago but it's pretty well a thing of the past now.
Technology has long ago passed me by in a cloud of dust but I do appreciate how the common use of the computer has changed our lives for the better. You can putter or you can soar on the internet...it all depends on your expertise. I am a putterer and probably always will be but I still love the possibilities the computer brings to me every day.
For instance, Facebook. I wonder what's next?
