Facebook

[Tiramisu]

Judy, THANK YOU so much for calling to check on me. I AM OK, sitting at home, just aggrevated. Somebody has hacked my Facebook account and is posting malicious messages on my friends' walls. I suggest you all delete me as a friend on FB, until I get this figured out. This person is associated with something called "sify".

A friend of mine just called to tell they are asking her for money. I'm sorry if this has caused you any problems.

[Blueyes]

Hey Sandy...Somebody just asked me for money, too! It seems you are stranded in London and need money to get home because you and Harold were mugged.
I knew it wasn't really you. I chatted with "you" on fb.

[Tiramisu]

This is crazy and I can't get through to talk to anybody at Facebook to get my account stopped and I can't log in.

[Blueyes]

I just blocked you from mine, but there was nothing else I could do. They said the US Embassy was helping you get home, but you needed money to settle your hotel bill. You were mugged...Harold hurt his left arm...but thank goodness they didn't steal your ID or passport. Oh, and Harold promised he'd pay me back just as soon as you got home. When I said I couldn't help, they asked me why. I said..no money! I KNEW it wasn't you!! Good luck getting it straightened out!

[judy]

As long as it wasn't true Sandy!!! Janet was afraid it was real, and I found your phone number from a while ago.

Did you get my message? I also chatted with the scammer on FB. I sent you a copy of our conversation. Sorry about the language, but he deserved it!!!

I guess I should "unfriend" you for now. Let me know when you are back on and we will be friends again! Good luck with FB. I hope they make it easy for you.

[gja1000]

Hi Sandy! I'm sorry you are having this trouble! Hopefully you'll get it figured out soon!

[Janet]

Hi Sandy.....boy was I sure worried about you. I called Judy, because I just didn't think it sounded like it was coming from you. Not sure we can do this, but here is a copy of our "chat" conversation on FB.

9:35Sandy
Hey Janet
How are you

9:35Janet
HI Sandy!!! I've been better
How about you?

9:35Sandy
Not too good!
We in a huge mess as we speak

9:35Janet
What happened

9:36amSandy
We are stranded in London

9:36amJanet
London???? I didn't know you were going there

Sandy
We got mugged at gun point last night!
All cash,credit cards and cell phone was stolen

9:38amJanet
Oh my God....are you okay>
Who is "we"? How many of you?

9:39amSandy
It was a very brutal experience..

9:39amJanet
When are you coming home?

9:39amSandy
Laura & her Kids ..
My pets were with me when we got mugged!

9:40amJanet
Are they okay too?

9:40amSandy
Laura was hurt on her left arm..
Janet it was so horrible & scary!

9:41amJanet
oh no....I bet it was....I'm so glad you are alright.


9:41amSandy
Her gurls are still at the hotel safe right now ...I'm in a local library trying to get help back home ..
I need your help ...dear!

9:41amJanet
I don't know how I would handle it....not very well I'm afraid
What can I do.....I'll help!

9:42amSandy
Our return flight leaves in few hours but having troubles sorting out the hotel bills
Thank God we still have Our Passports and IDs..

9:43amJanet
Yes.....What can I do Sandy?

9:43amSandy
Wondering if you could loan us some few $$ to sort out the hotel bills and take a cab to the airport..
I will definitely refund as soon as we get back home safely..

9:44amJanet
Oh gosh Sandy....We don't have much...honestly....how much were you needing?

9:44amSandy
How much can you really spare me ??
All we need is $800
I will appreciate whatever assistance you can give to us right now because i don't want us to miss our flights back ..

9:45amJanet
Sandy... I'm sorry....we don't have $800, not even in savings. Can you reach your families?

9:46amSandy
I can't reach my family right now ..

9:46amJanet
Our prop taxes are due and I have to borrow from Mom to pay them

9:46amSandy
How much can you spare us right now?
I will definitely refund today or tomorrow Morning..
Promise whatever to get us somewhere

9:47amJanet
Let me go check .........

9:47amSandy
OK
9:49amJanet
Sandy....I could probably scrape together $100

9:49amSandy
OK
You can get it down to my name and present location via western union money transfer
Do you know any western union outlet close to you...
??

9:50amJanet
No...I'll have to make some phone calls to find one..

This is where I got off the computer....kept thinking it could be a scam and then after a while decided to call Judy. The rest that is posted below is what was posted after I got off the computer.

9:51amSandy
OK
Do you have a Credit Card??
You can do it online via W/U online service
Check: westernunion.com

2:47pm
Sandy GOOD AM THROUGH WITH THIS ACCOUNT....HAKING SO SWEET!!!!
4:14pmSandy is offline.

The part in red is what I just saw when I came back on here at 4:30 PM

[Tiramisu]

I am so sorry this happened to you guys. I'm still shaking. And, it is absolutely OK that you de-friend me on FB. I don't know if I'll try to get back in or not.

[judy]

My daughter said that this western union thing is a big scam issue right now. She said that the FBI is getting involved and taking it seriously.

Please don't apologize. The fact that you and your family are all right is all that matters Sandy.

[Marilyn]

Oh, wow, how awful that this happened to you. I just checked my Facebook and looks like we weren't friends, so I missed out on the hacker. When/If you setup a new account, please be sure and invite me to be your friend. So hope you can get this straightened out.

You might call the FBI and report this. Also, you might be able to Google Facebook contact number. I did that to contact eBay and found one that worked. They asked me how I found it and I told them I'd Googled it and they said that no one was supposed to be able to find the number. My identity had been stolen and I had to get into my account and couldn't. Ebay straightened it all out for me and I got to keep my same user name, just change the password.

Hope this all gets straightened out soon!!!

[Blueyes]

Dang Sandy...and here I thought I had friends traveling ABROAD;) I was prepared to make the sacrifice and fly to London myself just to help you get home:p

I know this must have been scary for you. It feels weird knowing I was having a chat with an actual hacker/criminal. I'd love to know how many people they have fooled.

Now to important matters...I need SOMEBODY'S phone number!!! Maybe we should make a number chain...Hmmm... Some of you have each others number already... I think I'll pm my number to Gayle. Anybody have Gayle's number, or is this a bad idea?

[Tiramisu]

Hey - since it's quite obvious that these quacks can get whatever information they want - my cell phone number is 281-468-7394.

My friend that wired them $900 is supposed to have her money back today or tomorrow. I scolded her royally for believing them. We emailed each other on Friday, talking about my trip to my son's for the weekend. She knows that I don't travel out of the states. She said she just really thought she was talking to me. Another friend was falling for it, but asked them a question about one of my grand daughters who is the same age as his daughter and they couldn't give him the answer.

Of course, I can't get into FB now because they can't find my email address BECAUSE THE HACKER CHANGED. I want to get back on because I dearly enjoy looking at pictures and hearing from my friends and family.

This is happening to several people - not just me!

[Janet]

I'm just glad you're safe, but I was willing to help you with what I could. I just got suspicious because I hadn't read anywhere where you were going to London. I'm so thankful Judy had your number and checked it out with you and that you were safe and sound.

Darn hackers anyway. You'd think that as big as FB is, they would have a much better security system. Not sure how all that works, but there has got to be something they could do.

[Blueyes]

I saved your number in my cell phone. There should be a way to get back on FB...but I don't have a clue how. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

[DianaB]

I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I read of this happening to other people on FB so I would have been really leary if I would have been aproached about sending money. I hope that you can get a hold of some agency to go after this guy!! I can't believe that some of you chatted with him!! Wow!! I have you on my friend list but I didn't receive anything. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

[DianaB]

..............Now to important matters...I need SOMEBODY'S phone number!!! Maybe we should make a number chain...Hmmm... Some of you have each others number already... I think I'll pm my number to Gayle. Anybody have Gayle's number, or is this a bad idea?

Janet and I have a list of several of our member's numbers for when things like this happen. I'll send you my phone number so you can get a hold of me if something happens again. I do have Gayle's number.

[donna1990]

I have never heard of such a thing. I am so sorry you had this happen to you.

[Tiramisu]

I've now heard of 5 other people who got hacked, too. I've heard of 2 who sent money. I got an email from the Facebook fraud/abuse division, telling me to change my email (Yahoo) password since that's where they got in. They said they are working with the FBI and that thousands of people were hacked.

[gja1000]

I'm glad facebook was responsive to you! I just don't understand hackers - people never cease to amaze me - and not in a good way either!

[Janet]

I'm with you Gayle. I personally think they are a waste of life.

[DianaB]

I don't understand that or people who make the viruses that cause so much trouble. It sounds like these hackers were after money.

[Tiramisu]

I don't understand that or people who make the viruses that cause so much trouble. It sounds like these hackers were after money.

The bad and scary thing is that they are getting the money!

[judy]

Did you get back on FB? You can set up another email address and try that.

How is your friend able to get her money back? Good thing she is!

I'm pming my number.

[Janet]

Sandy....I want to know what the answer to what Judy asked too....lol.

I have a friend request from you and okay'd it on FB. I asked on FB if it's really you, but I'm asking here too. Can never be too careful.

[Marilyn]

Sandy....I want to know what the answer to what Judy asked too....lol.

I have a friend request from you and okay'd it on FB. I asked on FB if it's really you, but I'm asking here too. Can never be too careful.


Janet, I think it is her. I accepted and went to her page and it looks legit!!

[Tiramisu]

It's me! I had used another email address to open a second account, but when they got the first one cleared up, I went back there and de-activated the second account.

Looks like my friend won't get her money back, something about Western Union only guaranteeing amounts over $1000. There are some very suspicious things going on with my friend. She changed her cell phone number, closed her FB account, and closed an email address. I'm watching to see where it goes!

[Janet]

That's horrible that she won't get her money back. What's going on with her that is suspicious? Sometimes I'm so dense....lol

[DianaB]

Oh no!! I can't believe that your friend isn't going to get her money back. I feel so bad for her. That just stinks!!!!

[Tiramisu]

She says she and her mother had 4 friends get hacked that day and they had sent money to all of them. NOBODY'S THAT STUPID! I asked her to give me the Western Union receipt so I could pay her back and she can't find it. I asked her to go get a copy from WU and she says they don't keep copies of transactions. I am really concerned that her and/or her mother are the ones who caused this. Why would she change her cell phone number, email address, and is even changing jobs?

[DianaB]

That is a little weird. They had 4 friends that got hacked? Something doesn't quite add up, does it?

[Blueyes]

Yep.. Something wrong with all of that. I guess she thought you and the 3 other people would just hand her the money she says she sent.

Oh Sandy, I forgot to tell you that I sent $1500. I guess I should have been more careful with my receipt but I can't seem to find it anywhere!! You can just give me cash. I really do want some new flooring:angel:

I'm so sorry this happened to you....but your "friend" is nuts!

[DianaB]

You won't believe this but I just remembered that I sent you money too!!!! My memory is getting so bad!! I remember that I sent you $1,000 and, guess what, I lost my receipt from Western Union too. Sorry, cash, check, or Paypal is perfectly acceptable!!!!

[katcarasella]

I am so glad to hear that you are safe and sound.

Wow, that was terrible.....as some of you know :rolleyes: the website I'm associated with got hacked into a couple weeks ago, and we were shut down for darn near 2 days, the Hacker sent a message to me saying if I did not send him $$$$ He was going to destroy the site.....thank goodness we have a great Web guy, and he was able to install more security for us....it seems the hacker got in through our chatbox.....needless to say, I got rid of the chatbox....

[Marilyn]

These people are terrible!!!!!!!! If they don't repent they will get even worse someday though.

Your friend definitely sounds like she has some real problems. No one is that gullible!!!! 4 in one day.....Give me a break!!

Oh, Sandy, I hate to say this with all the other trouble you have, but I sent you money, too. Just a bit, $5,000. Do you suppose......, oh, and I saved the receipt, or I thought I did. Turns out it's an old Lotto ticket, so guess you just have to trust me. :happy065:

[Tiramisu]

HA.....you are all SOL, but I love you for sending the money for my next trip!

[DianaB]

HA.....you are all SOL, but I love you for sending the money for my next trip!

What!!! :eek:

[Janet]

Sandy....be careful....I think someone is trying to scam you here.....LOLOL.

I sure wouldn't trust that so called "friend". Sounds way too fishy to me. Maybe she and her Mom are wanting to take a trip...

[Marilyn]

Did y'all realize what Sandy said, the money is for her next trip. So SHE got the money. I think we were all scammed by SANDY, and she's trying to blame one of her FRIENDS!! Some kind of friend she is!!!:eek:

[Blueyes]

Hmmmm......

[judy]

I love it! A whacko friend, a hacker, and scams!

I am sorry your FB was involved, but I need to know the facts about the, hopefully, ex friend.

I got an email months ago from someone who said he was going to kill me if I didn't send him money. I sent him back something like "You are 362 on my list of unread emails. I will respond as soon as I get to it, unless you get deleted first."

He answered me! I forget what he said, but it was something like Oh, so you want to play? You'll be sorry.

Idiot!

[Tiramisu]

I hired Sally as a file clerk 12 years ago and we have "stayed in touch", but I haven't seen her more than 3 times in the last 5 or 6 years. I am definitely not accusing her of doing this, but I'm still watching her.

[Janet]

I think I'd watch her too. Ya just never know anymore....sad isn't it?

[DianaB]

She is acting very suspicious. It's funny that it was several of your friends that were hit. I'd be keeping my eye on her too.

I guess you really can't definitely accuse her, but I would block her from FB, email, and any others.

Is the FBI going to get in touch with you, or is their investigation a general one?
I would give her name to them and what she had to say if they contacted me. Just saying......

[lovePINK]

wow, thats scary...I heard a couple weeks ago hackers got into FB and into twitter, I got out imm. when news came on and said that!...

You can make another account, and if it comes up that email is already in use, you can change it to new account deleting the old, I think!..if you think they got into your mail too I would print out all your contacts and make a new email addy..better to be safe than sorry....

We had someone get ahold of my debit card number and pin a few weeks ago, and dont know how or when it happened, I guess it happened with alot of ppl in Knoxville too, secret service is envolved so hopefully it is over for us...

Good luck, to you! I hope you can get it all straightened out!

[Tiramisu]

I'm really enjoying Facebook. Yes, I've gotten addicted to Farmville, Farm Town, and Island Paradise, not to mention the quick games available. I got a treat this morning that one of my high school classmates found me (Pitkin High School Class of 1969)!

[DianaB]

Isn't it wonderful to have people from your past find you on FB? I've had a few surprises like that too. We don't have much to say to each other but it's still pretty cool!!!

I haven't gotten into any games on FB. I spend so much time on the computer that I just can't get into the games. Sometimes I have hubby standing over me with a frown or he's mumbling......not good signs!!! (Especially when the house is messy!!)

[Tiramisu]

Diana, I feel like I'm "slipping around" on Harold to get on the computer at home. But, lately I'm spending more time on there.

[Janet]

I love FB too. I've found and been found by so many classmates. I didn't really run around much with anyone from my class, my best friend in school was a grade lower than I, but I was friends with most of my class. I even have the kids I babysat for on FB...lol. Now one of them has kids and one rides my bus. Great way to stay in touch.

[gja1000]

I am enjoying FB too. It is a lot of fun, and as my neice says, "it's a good time-waster"! LOL!

[judy]

I also have reconnected with a lot of people on FB, especially family. I love FB for that, but I don't go there more than once/month. If I started with FB, I would never go out!!!

[Tiramisu]

OK, I'm in addiction and game overload. I get paid to sit here at this computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week - I can't keep going home and sitting for another 5-6 hours. I've been playing Farmville, Farm Town, Mafia, Island Paradise, and Barn Buddy. I rush in to check my crops and almost forget that it's not real. Then, there's the card games and "time killers".

I need to step away from the computer and chill out! I haven't sat on the patio, with a margarita, to watched a sunset a couple weeks. I resisted joining the invitations to join those games until my neighbors came over and razzed me about it. Yesterday, Frank drove his new tractor over to show Harold. He told me he got it from Farm Town!!!!!

I can check FB and 4WT on my IPhone, but can't get to the games, so that'll be my first discipline - no computer at home for awhile!

[Janet]

Sandy you do have it bad don't you? LOL I saw where Gina has joined FarmVille and YoVille. Pretty soon she'll need a 12-step program too!!! I will pray your withdrawal pains are not too bad.

You DO have it bad, Sandy!! That's why I haven't gotten into the games. I already spend enough time on the computer so I don't need any games. Right now I'm game-free!!!

[Tiramisu]

I'm feeling more and more that I have an addictive personality, like a co-dependency!

[Lindsey]

I confess I farm while at work, but at least I'm not the only one! The secretary and I usually hire each other to harvest each other's crops all day :D It's a nice break at least. I don't take real coffee breaks, just smaller breaks throughout the day to check email, forums, and facebook :D Thank goodness nothing is blocked here!

[Tiramisu]

OK, I need intervention! I got on before I left home this morning to check my crops! Last night, Jeff called to ask what was going on with my Farmville - everything was plowed up.

[DianaB]

Is there a 12 step program for internet game addictions?

You're more than welcome to come here and see the REAL thing, as far as farming goes. We're in the middle of corn harvest!! The combine's going and the trucks are hauling grain. Glen wil store the grain and sell it later. You can come and help him watch the markets and see how it's REALLY done!!!

[Tiramisu]

Diana, thanks for the invite. I grew up on a little farm, hauling hay, gathering corn, milling corn, hogs, cows, quail, etc. and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I know your's is much larger and I would love to help through the planting and harvest.

[DianaB]

We were originally talking about FB and lately I've been really, really bored with it. It seems like nobody posts! And those that do rarely comment on your own posts. I have some friends that are kids and they post "kid stuff" that I'm really not interested in reading about. Some are family so I hate to take them off as a friend. It is nice to get in contact with friends from long ago, but there's only so much you really want to say to them. Oh well, I really don't have the time to be on there very much. House cleaning is always calling my name in the back ground. Can you hear it?


Come clean me.......Please come and put me where I belong........What if company comes.....Do you want them to see me this way?.........You folded me, now put me away.........Would you please get me painted so you can put your tools away?..........Don't you want to get me cleaned up in case Jesus comes for a visit?...........

Diana, you are so funny!!!! I know what you mean about FB. Some of my friends are dear people, but do I really need to know that you just got up, or are about to go to bed? I had to block one of my cousins. He's still my friend, but his posts don't appear on my wall. He'd post 8 or more times all day, all political stuff.

I do enjoy keeping up with most folks on there though. Even if it is just a tidbit of their life.

And Farmville is fun. I don't care for the graphics on Farmtown, but am addicted to Farmville. I've resisted all the other games. FB is blocked here at work, so I must harvest at night. LOL

[Lindsey]

I do enjoy keeping up with most folks on there though. Even if it is just a tidbit of their life.


I agree with this Marilyn. I have most of the people I grew up with on my facebook. Most of them I don't talk to at all, some of them I never really talked to back then either! But I really like being able to see what everyone has been up to lately... so many are married and have children! I love seeing their kids and how much they look like their parents did when we were all kids! If it weren't for facebook, I would probably have lost touch with 90% of the people I used to know.

[Tiramisu]

It's my quick way to checkup on you guys. I usually check FB (on my IPhone) while I'm outside with the doggies every morning. Then, I check 4WT when I get to work or get time on weekends.

I have one that posts "It's Monday, a new day!", "I'm running errands.", "I'm going out to eat." She rarely posts on other threads and others rarely post on hers. It's almost like she uses FB to keep track of herself and YES, the world is supposed to revolve around her.

I was so excited that a high school friend found me last week. We traded a couple quick notes and that's it - 40 years rolled up in a couple sentences.

[Gina]

Yes this CITY GIRL is addicted to Farmville.. Diana how exciting it is to work on a farm lol. I am not great at it, I am just getting the gist of it . I don't know what I am doing, but I am learning. I am a little confused maybe you can tell me Sandy, Marilyn since you play I see there is a tab where it sells to buy cash. I clicked on thinking it was a ploy but do people really charge on their credit cards to buy Cash.. That I would never do!!!


FB can get boring I do have found many old childhood friends..

I click "Hide" for those people cuz like you, I don't want to take them off FB since they are family, etc - but neither do I want to read their musings that really don't interest me. It cuts down on the posts, but keeps the things I want to read.

[Marilyn]

I clicked on thinking it was a ploy but do people really charge on their credit cards to buy Cash.. That I would never do!!!


FB can get boring I do have found many old childhood friends..

I would never buy cash on Farmville. From what I can tell, the key is to plow as much ground as possible and plant the most profitable crops. I take number of coins the crop will yeild subtract the cost of the seed, and divid by the number of days to mature and find out that number and compare it to other crops. Right now, the seed I have access to that is the most profitable is red peppers. That's why my entire field is planted in red peppers. They all mature at the same time so I know when I need to be on there to harvest. (If I know I'm not going to be available at the right time to harvest, I'll plant something else that matures in 3 or 4 days or whenever I can be on next.)

Also you need lots of neighbors. Right now, I can't expand my farm because I only have 11 neighbors, and I need 13 to be able to buy more land with coins. I can buy more land with FV dollars, but I don't have enough yet. I've invited everyone I can think of to be my neighbor, but have received no responses beyond my current 11.

I just keep planting and farming and harvesting as much as possible, including my trees and animals and hoarding the coins and FV dollars so I can expand and buy the things for my farm. By the way, gifts are much appreciated and I try to give more than I get.

Another way to get more coins is to visit your neighbors farms, and if they have crows or weeds, help them out. When someone gets a ribbon, and you see it on your home page, there is a link on the notice to share the prize, and if you click that, you can get coins.

Gina, I hope this helps you some, and I hope I haven't told you a lot of stuff you already new. To me, it's a fun game, though addictive. I'm advancing pretty quickly and enjoying the challenge. I just wish I knew what the harvest will be from the elephants. It had better not be ivory!!!

[Marilyn]

I click "Hide" for those people cuz like you, I don't want to take them off FB since they are family, etc - but neither do I want to read their musings that really don't interest me. It cuts down on the posts, but keeps the things I want to read.

Clicking "hide" is what I did to my cousin. So far, he's the only one I've done this too. It sure made FB more fun when he was gone. I'm going to start skipping some of the FV notices. I'm afraid by posting them they may be showing up on some of your home pages, and sure don't want to post so much on there that some of you "hide" me to get the notices off your page. :o

I play the other games and the notices end up on the walls. I stopped posting those and hit the skip button. Once you hide someone...how do you get them back? I've got a couple hid but wanted to bring them back for a bit, but don't know how.

You all really have it bad for Farmville, but at least you're having fun.

Marilyn, you hardly post!! Why would we "hide" you? You're funny!!!

I didn't realize that there was a "hide" button. Where is it at?

Diana, just move your cursor to the right of the post where there is only white space - suddenly a "hide" button will appear.

Janet! I don't know how to "unhide" someone. I haven't tried to do that. I'm sure there is a way, but I don't know how.

[gja1000]

OK, I found out how to unhide friends by using the help function.

At the bottom of your home page there is an "edit options" button. Click this and you can unhide your friends. I don't have any I want to unhide at this time, but maybe someday....... :)

Thanks Marilyn! You gave me a lot of helpful hints I didn't know about. :)

Whenever I do get to FB, I always feel bad that I don't follow you guys on there.
Everybody else, I just get to when I feel like it. I have loved getting in touch with family and old friends there, but it's got way too much stuff going on. The pages are filled with info, and where to go to find people, etc. I don't like that kind of mental stimulation any more. My brain requires quiet, and not having to multitask.
Sometimes, not even thinking at all is good, and decision making is ridiculously hard!

[Janet]

Thank you so much Gayle...I don't want to unhide anyone yet either....LOL.

Judy...you are so funny! I really do like FB alot. Quick and easy to catch up.

Today it's been really weird on there. Usually I can go back to older posts and there are also a few that I hid that are showing up. FB still has a lot of glitches and you'd think as fast as it has grown...they'd get things fixed.

Sandy,

The fb scam was on the news yesterday! It's huge, all over fb, emails, etc., and a lot of people are falling for it.

I am so glad I took that scammer for a bit of a ride, and even gladder that nobody you know got taken.

All's well that ends well!

The FBI is involved. I think it's about time the government got involved in scams.

Is anyone having trouble with FB today? When I click on it - even though I have it set to remember my password and log me in automatically, it asks for my password and then won't log me in - it's just in a password loop???

[Janet]

It's like that with me alot. Sometimes it wants me to login again, sometimes it doesn't. Other times it comes up with a can't find the page and I click on it again...it takes me right there. I just think it grew faster than they had anticipated and are having trouble catching up.

[Marilyn]

I'm having some trouble with it, too and with FarmVille. Probably just too many people on there. The weather is cooler so more people are at home online than they were during the summer. FB has gotten so huge. A lot of people I know from work and everywhere are on there now.

[DianaB]

Everytime I go onto FB I have to log in. I thought that everyone was having to do that now. I know that there are times that it doesn't work too good, but that's alright. I'd still rather be on here!!!
