Well, yes and no. Either page can be as personal as we want to make it. I dedicate a specific amount of time to FB and that's it, till the next day. However, my time there has increased a bit because most of my e-pals, on or off the TMIC have gravitated to FB as well. Some folks I haven't heard from in months, even years, now reply right away on FB. Go figger.
>From the few diehards not on FB, I hear less and less unless I write >separately first. Does any one remember when I used to send news articles to y'all.......???? Not anymore. Now, all I do is hit that page's FB link and it does all that work for me. tee hee BobbyJim in Elvisland ----- Original Message ----- From: j.d...@shaw.ca To: pjv1...@chartermi.net ; tmic Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 12:34 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time I am in on the facebook groups, but I don't like it. I much prefer to hear from everyone on the tmic list. It is much more personal and a lot more information is shared. Facebook is simply something for people to do while they are not doing anything. If that makes sense. I am glad you heard from Jude. She is such a special lady.

I signed up today because I visited with David and Judy Hoops , aka Hey Jude, today and we talked about how long it had been since we had been on the TMIC. I visited the archives to see what the current subjects are and who was participating and the subject that caught my attention was RE: facebook. How fitting. That was exactly what Dave and Judy and I talked about. They told me about TM on FaceBook and how confused they get by it and wondered if it had totaly replaced TMIC. I told Dave I would chek into it and let him know what I found out. It was good to see so many people post on that subject. There were names that I hadn't seen on TMIC for a long time. It sounds like a lot of people were lurking I the background. I remember the last post I read. Someone asked how Saronj from India was and she answered. Jude has been in hospital twice in the last three weeks. She sure is a trooper! She's in ICU now awaiting test results. I think I'll stay on TMIC for a while. Patti - Michigan TM for 8 years and wouldn't have known what to do without TMIC and the TM Forum. I'm glad there's plenty of info for new TMers, however, my brain couldn't have handled it all back then.
