don't get me wrong, if you want to use it, have assesd its risk and are
comfortable with it, i say go for it, but the risks i have read about, and
the effort i would need to use it it is not worth it to me. The real point
of my post was not to discuss fb, but remind sf, as she seems forgetful or
senile, is that i didn't use it... and she became disoriented and somehow
innterpreted my not using fb as some personal affront to her, when what i
was really doing was poking a bit of fun at her for thinking posting
something like that on fb was more secure, as anyone reading it could repost
it here, and why she thinks her hometown or town of upbringing needed more
security when she was the one who brought it up is quite amusing...

OB food; the dh is now on his way home, he has orered us smoked turkey legs
for dinner, i have no idea what the sies will be, Lee

Facebook is not at all secure. Mine was hacked and I know plenty of others
who were hacked as well.
