Thanks, Ann, I called my best friend who LOVES FB and her SO answered and he walked me through unfriending. And explained about Front Page and Timeline. So I'm taking baby steps with it. But really, so far, I don't like it very much. It seems too complicated. But maybe I'll change my mind. Meanwhile I'll use email and posts!

My maternal grandmother was a beautician and I think it's in my genes. Cute photo... Thanks Share, cute in a homely sort of way! I messaged you on Facebook regarding privacy settings. If you go to the little bubble icon at the top of your FB page you will see a red number. Click on that and you will see my message. Maybe I can help you with your settings etc. On Monday, January 20, 2014 10:39 AM, "awoelflebater@..." <awoelflebater@...> wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <punditster@...> wrote: Jobs That Suck There are probably lots of jobs out there that suck, really suck. Like, cleaning out chicken coops in the hot summer; or laying hot black tar onto a rooftop of a commercial building; or jobs where you had to put up with jerks at work and a fat, bald headed guy that smokes a cigar. Rita used to be a Cad Drafter for Gibson Guitar in Long Beach. But, you know what they say: "You don't have to like your boss, just do what he says." One of the first jobs I had after college in 1966 was as a graphic designer at Pacific Mutual Life in Newport Beach - the first company west of the Mississippi River to use the brand new technology called Univac I. At that time, the art department used a drafting table, T-square and a VariTyper for type setting. It would be years before I got my first desk-top computer. But, I used to watch the tapes spin in the computer room. At the time, I was living in Venice Beach at 405 Howland Canal. One spring day I decided to quit working at the insurance company because the job sucked and I had a real bad case of spring-fever. So, on a Friday I got my pay check and went home - and never went back. Didn't say anything to anyone, just didn't come back, never called. Just like that - sweet! They probably wondered what happened to me. Go figure. In the basement of Pacific Life with the printers 1965. Good picture. You were a skinny thing. Here I am in about 1963 probably second grade. My mother liked to give me the home haircut thus the bangs that look rather askew. >> >> >>On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 1:51 PM, Richard Williams <punditster@...> wrote: >>> >>>One time I interviewed for a job publishing menus for restaurants around >>>town using Microsoft Word.
