Guest guest Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I swore I'd never use FB but a former student contacted me and asked me to get on there, so I reluctantly did. Well, at this point, I'm on it each morning and each night and sometimes check it during the day. I even have my phone rigged so I can check it and post status updates. A lot of people on other email lists are connected to mine and we are very chatty at times and love keeping up on each other's lives that way. Plus, we all have our favorite games we play on there.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I didn't even know there were these communities. I'm in the " south jersey " community, or something.

I just don't feel the need. I don't have TV or play electronic games either. Some parts of modern life just don't inspire me.

I guess I just started posting videos I found interesting and people saw them, responded, friended me and it just grew from there. There are a bunch of different Dylan-related groups on FB, but most of them are pretty inactive. Maybe you can try typing in your interest, or check the ads on the right hand side. Often something will pop up that interests you and you can click on it. It also hepls if you mention your interest(s) in your profile. Good luck! D.

Once I got online there was no stopping me :-) But my mobile phone I hate, being contactable all the time. I only got one because I was assaulted by someone in a situation where no one else was around, and I realised that having a phone could be part of taking responsibility for my own safety. I prefer texts to calls. Ruth -- " Environmental problems are difficult to solve because Earth is a " public good " .

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have Facebook, but I never use it. Friends of mine who were part of a Nintendo DS game we played, " Animal Crossing " , talked me into getting an account, but I just am not comfortable with writing anything on. I have people who post to me all the time, so to acknowledge by sending their cyber pets a present, or them a cyber flower or the like...things to let them know I'm thinking of them.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 It might be easier using my email address. Wow, had no idea there were so many of me! lol. There's one around here, too, and we use the same veterinarian and hospital. I always have to make sure they have the right records out. alisongraf@... In a message dated 7/17/2010 9:42:22 A.M.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 ----- Original Message ----- From: Stan's Computer Actually, " We Con the World " . My error. I thought this was going to be something to do with Bob Dylan. The one I found, after they corrected the spelling of the name from " Carolyn " to " Caroline " was to do with the Israel/Palestine conflict, but I couldn't figure out if it was pro Israel or pro Palestine.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 > The one I found, after they corrected the spelling of > the name from " Carolyn " to " Caroline " Caroline is correct. The Bob Dylan chararcter (obviously none are the real people from the " We are the World " video) is about 2/3 through, just after the first full group shot. Admittedly, it's not hard to do a convincing Dylan spoof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
