Facecrooks: Every Facebook User Should Check It Out...
I love using Facebook. I enjoy sharing information with my friends on it. I like catching up with family and old chums. And yes, I even like to engage in some political and religious debates on it. I use information from a website called Facecrooks to help me sort through the changes Facebook seems to continuously make to user account functionality as well as the many scams that seem to get posted – and reposted – on Faceook....

It’s Not Too Late and You’re Not Too Old!...
“You will never be able to leave that dog alone with your pet rabbit,” said the Veterinarian. She had spoken those words to me on the day my husband and I adopted a 3-year-old greyhound we named, Rosie. I often receive calls from adults who have received a new electronics device and are convinced they are either too old to learn something new or that it is too late for them to bother learning how to operate this...

(All new versions were supposed to have done away with all...

I received the replacement printer, which is working fine, but there was no return label. The gentleman I spoke...

Crazy Cat Moves to WordPress
With the help of my son, Doug, and a nice little article online at http://www.hyperarts.com/blog/import-export-blogger-wordpress-blog-wordpress/, I have copied over all my blog posts from Blogger to this new WordPress set up. Literally, the process took longer to research than to install the plug-in and activate it on WordPress....

Patsy and a Mouse
“You’re never too old to learn something new.” “Right click, left click! Open a window…wait, what is a window? Oops, what did I click on?” This morning, my mom, Patsy, proved that she has the makings of a computer geekess! Several weeks ago, my oldest son rebuilt a nice laptop for my mom. This morning, we finally had the chance to explore it together. I have to say I was pleasantly surpised to watch Mom giggle and chuckle...

Gotta Love Sharing
Although I have kept journals for years, I have only been blogging for a few months. I am also an avid user of Facebook. I have noticed that many of my Facebook friends have their blogs linked to their Facebook accounts and wanted to do the same. A quick search on Google for “add Blogger to Facebook” pointed me to a handy little video to do just that. I quickly clicked over to the article “How to Add...
