    I'd really rather not. I don't trust Facebook. Their leadership has
    proven to be consistently uncaring about personal privacy issues. Even
    if you don't give them personal information they track it down and
    disseminate it, sell it, they don't care about their clients.

    But thanks for asking, Tina. :)

    I get where you're coming from (I really didn't want to go there either)
    but it's such a shame you're not with us there. You are missed.

    Judith, I appreciate that. Hey, there's obviously nothing stopping you
    folks from dropping back in here. :)

    Here's a Buffy Update: Sweet and playful and snoozing as usual. ;)
    She's shedding to high heaven. When I'm stretched out reading a book
    she'll get on top of me behind the book. She'll start giving herself
    ear scritches on the binding of the book. I wish I had eyeglasses with cameras! Anyway, it's incredibly cute. She's a short hair tabby with a
    LOT of fur. It's been fairly cool in Southern South Carolina so far
    this year, but I guess cats have a built-in shedding season. Anyway,
    she was giving herself ear scritches on my book and was getting fur all
    over it. Time to furminate the kitty!

    I put my book down. Come on Buffy, let's go! She loves that deshedding
    tool. I'm not affiliated with it in any way but she purrs like crazy
    when we're removing that excess fur. I can only imagine based on her
    reaction it feels really good, not only the way the tool sort of gives scritches, but also to lose all that excess fur. Buffy gets *very*
    playful when the furminating session is over. :)

    Same here Jill. Any site that literally required a court order to
    allow you to delete an account, is not for me.

    Buffy is an affectionate cat. Sootie is but when she's in the mood and her rules.

    I try to visit here but I suddenly realise I haven't been on my computer
    to log in for days. I hadn't logged into my emails from the 20th until
    today. I think it's because my DH has retired and is usually at the
    computer desk so I would have to squeeze past but it keeps him off the
    streets.

    I simply won't deal with the dishonest aspects of that social media
    platform. Recently the founder (Zuckerberg) wanted to get into the
    digital currency market. It's called Libra. More apparances before a
    senate subcommittee about that in 2019. I don't trust this guy as far
    as I could throw him, which isn't very far.
