Moving off Facebook

[memelaina]

Friends and Family,
You may (or may not) have noticed that I have not been on FB since the election. I am not going to be there for the foreseeable future. I can't stand the stress or the filth. No, I do not want to talk about it. I absolutely will NOT talk about it.

However, at least for the time being, I do have a life and I am concentrating on that. If you want to follow what is going on with me then please join me here on Live Journal. I was part of LJ years before I joined Facebook, and you are welcome to follow me here, or just watch my blog.

Today Kent and I are leaving for a few days in Dallas with Megan and her family. Looking forward to seeing the grandchildren and my wonderful adult relatives. Kurt will be making turkey, but I'm planning on doing a pumpkin pie and maybe some of Grandma Hook's Corn Casserole.

Terry will be having Thanksgiving with Erin and Karen and the Monogues and then doing a movie on Friday. I'm willing to bet it will be the new Harry Potter.

Sappho has a perfectly competent caretaker staying with her, but she really, really wanted to go south with us. She even got in my suitcase, so that I would be sure to get the message. However, she wasn't overly pleased with the idea of me CLOSING the suitcase. So she is staying behind to be pampered by Mina.

Much love to you all and hope to see that at least some of you are willing to follow me here on LJ.

Mem

Commiseration

I understand and agree with you. I may follow your lead. Maybe I will take up journaling. First, I need to learn how to do the RSS feed thing.

Best to you, Kent, Megan, and extended family.

Love from Jo Ann and me.

I'm still here. I haven't posted in years, but I do have a few friends I follow here.

I'm still on Live Journal. If you keep sharing with FB, then we can still see you, then comment over here. Take care lovely lady.

I, too, am still on LJ, although I don't post very often.

Have a great holiday with your family!

I dont use Facebook myself, been on quite alot of different blogging sites. I have recently only rejoined LJ after a huge break of 5 years

Glad to hear from you but it would help to know which who is you! Love the iguana and the peacock. Mem

I think the peacock looks more like me

I'm still on LJ- I try to check posts here twice week or so. I am just back from a cruise and have more travel plans soon (eek - Thanksgiving is Thursday!)

Good on you doing what you need to take care of yourself. I am limiting my own Internet (Facebook and otherwise) exposure these days as well.

I completely understand. If I've checked the right boxes, I'm following you here. Happy Thanksgiving!

I so understand....

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving with family -- I'm doing the same, just locally. I will have to check LJ more often, there are times I miss it...

[kseniyamik.livejournal.com]

Hi Mem--I actually have missed LJ and will start using it more. Will definitely be following you.

You might want to move to Dreamwidth
