haha!! LOVE it!  (And hope all goes well, since your Wife's passing)

I am SO over Facebook. I lose interest in it more and more by the second...

That's pretty much the ONLY reason why I even sign onto Facebook now. There ARE
a few things about certain BBS topics I can get help for faster than the
Echoes, even though I try to ask in Echomail first.  I use Facebook MORE for
advertising my BBSes.

That's a good idea, I need to do that too. I've been on FB for heck, well over
10 years, since MySpace took a dumb. I was on FB trolling for females back in
the day! I need to delete al the groups I wsa in like 10+ years ago.. *blush*
