I also will always keep this website and I check it a couple of times a day. I love this bunch and feel there are still quite a few “listening in”. Any messages sent get read. We have hit a “quiet” time, but sparks may get flying again. I will always feel a part of this great group and won’t give up on us. Janice

I always check for posting from this site. I also do not trust Facebook. I have too many concern about privacy & hacking to use the site. Maybe talk here will increase sometime.

As for Facebook, or Faceplant, as I have recently come to call it, it is unsafe and prone to being hacked, as mine was, which led to my taking my accound and pages down. Possibly, after a few more hacking scandles, more will apprexiate the more secure email communication. Dalton PS: I went over to tea from coffee and now avoid magnesium, and the seizures are far less. D. Butbas we get older I pay less attention to birthdays. -------- Original message -------- From: amy shultz <mic...@hotmail.com> Date: 01/03/2014 03:16 (GMT-05:00) To: Pat <p...@voorheissigns.com>,TM group <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Subject: RE: [TMIC] End of birthday lists I completely understand Barbara. It seems this has gotten very very quite here. Although I am feeling more and more of an alien amongst the other TM groups this one has been okay. I appreciate ALL you have done to keep them coming. Hopefully 2014 will be a bigger and brighter AND healthier year for us all. I am struggling day in and day out each and every day and am really run down!! I hope EVERYONE of you has a VERY Happy New Year and that all your dreams come true!! I will remain here for any messages but do offer my best to each and everyone of you!!!

You are correct in all your reasons. I'm still here on TMIC as well as on FBk and that's where I try to remember to send birthday greetings.

Someone found an online site that would send e-cards to others as a support for a charity, so many of us sent in our names and birthdays so as to use the site to raise funds for the TMA. Not surprisingly, the site died after a while. A girl on the TMIC named Carrie and I had accumulated the birthday names and lists, and after she left the list, I continued to send them out once a month. I've decided to stop doing so, for a number of reasons. 1) Not many people are here any more. Many are on Facebook and it is easy to send birthday greetings there. 2) I don't think many (if any) people use the birthday list to send individual greetings to anyone on it. (A few of you have faithfully sent happy birthdays on TMIC to those celebrating each month as a whole, and I have appreciated that.) 3) Since all mail that goes through the TMIC is archived online, I have wondered if it is a problem to have lists of names and e-mails there, if that increases anyone's spam content. 4) I have been sending out individual birthday greetings to everyone on the list, and more and more of them are returned to me because the address is no longer active. 5) For those who are no longer on the TMIC, I don't know if they welcome the birthday greetings or if they don't want me to "bug" them any more. So for all of those reasons, plus the amount of time involved, I have decided to stop sending the birthday lists out each month. I've just finished updating it with the latest information I have - if anyone else wants to take it over, I'll be happy to send you the list. I'm still here on the TMIC and plan to continue to be. I wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2014. Love, Barbara H.
