I have placed pretty long messages on face book. I use the m.Facebook.com, so
its supposedly the mobile face book page. It’s much more accessible than
regular face book. Try it Linda. Nowadays it even kind of gives you an idea
of a picture. It says things like photo is of one person smiling, or photo is
of nature with clouds and grass. So, it won’t read the text which sometimes
comes in photo fashion, but it’s a lot better than it was. So, remember go to:
m.Facebook.com
You’ll like it a lot better.

Hi Kathleen,
If it were me, I wouldn’t put my picture onto Facebook. If most of the people
you’ve friended know what you look like, what’s the point? Most of the people
I’ve friended are either blind or family members, so although I’ve gotten
notifications to put my picture up, I’ve totally ignored the notifications, and
they’ve stopped coming. I rarely go onto Facebook, to be totally honest. Even
with a computer, I find it a bit difficult, and you can only put short messages
up.

Well I don't know if I'll put my picture on there or not. But I keep getting a
notification to ask for one. But yes I do have cited friends on Facebook and
most of them do you know what I look like. Because most of them are from
church. So that's basically how that goes. I may or may not do this I don't
know. But yes I have been kicked out of physical therapy and it's on appeal.
And no you're not putting in.

of the physical therapy she needs. Kathleen, hope I’m not butting in, but
thought I’d inform.

I use my notes section of my IPhone, to create grocery lists. We have to
drive too far to be forgetting items needed from the store. So, it works out
really great for us. Kathleen, if you go outside, can you log on to a Wi-Fi
from anywhere? I know you said you don’t get it inside your new place, but if
you go outside and maybe to a coffee joint, or McDonalds, or some fast food
place, they will have Wi-Fi and then you can use it to back up your IPhone to
the ICloud. I have had to use that method before. You don’t actually have to
have it plugged into a power source. Just have lots of battery. You could even
update your phone, if you can get onto a Wi-Fi. If you have an earlier phone,
like I do, you may not be able to get the IOS 10, when it does come out. But,
I know then you still won’t have your picture taken for your Facebook page.
I’ve never put a photo on my Facebook page either. Seems like a lot of my
friends are being hacked on face book, and so far I haven’t. Knock on wood. I
get notifications all the time, and ignore them. You don’t have to have a
photo.

I want the rep to help me back up the phone too. Because I keep getting a
notification telling me I have to do it but since I don't have Wi-Fi over here
oh well. If the picture doesn't get done tomorrow well that's OK. I can always
go back to just depends on how busy they are. Yes everything is still
barricaded. And some of the first floor is actually being torn apart where the
auditorium is so things are really find a vest up. They had some water leaks
over there too and that turned into a mess from what I've been told. So that's
the way that goes. A friend of mine went to look at some radios and he found
one he said it was really small it was AM/FM and CD and he said the singles
like a toy. He told me I had dials on it and it was only $35. So that's
basically that. When I can't wear my Birkenstock sandals anymore I'm going to
send them back to get fixed. They need to be resold. So I don't know how much
they'll cost me what I want to get that done so that's basically what I'm going
to do. But yes I got everything put away and she cleaned up the Snapple mess.
Thank odd most of it stayed in the bagp boy am I glad the shopping trip is
done. Tomorrow is I said hopefully will be the Apple Store I just don't know
what time we're going to go. The person is going with me he has bad knees so
we're going to take her time. We're not going to rush either. I told him I
didn't want to but no I'm still in pain I still feel like I have a stiff neck
all the time. Every time I turn my head to the right ouch that doesn't feel
very good either. If I stay on my right side too long oh boy. Not good but hey
I'm learning to live with it. But no I have trouble opening those Tylenol
bottles. I wish those came and screw tops but I'm fortunately they don't. But
yes I'm glad the shopping done but the thing is we forgot margarine and I can't
remember what else. Oh well I told her we could even get that at the drugstore
because I do sell food. There's a Walgreens not far from here so that's
OK. So I can get margarine at least if I need it. And I got a lot of
bananas too. I'm really glad and I got uses it all my Snapple and ginger rail
and Coke zero. So I got most everything I wanted.
