If that's the question, maybe it is falling. Which I wouldn't mind, I am getting tired of people I don't have anything to do with anymore finding me and "friending" me -- as if that has anything to do with getting to know me or not.

I'm not sure what I accomplished by securing my username. Knowing my tendency, however, to stick my nose up at social networks and then change my mind when I decide they can help me, I grabbed it just the same. I am getting tired of Facebook and all the design changes (for the worse). Agreed Stephanie. I’m not sure what I accomplished by securing my username.

As I'm learning more about letter writing and keeping in touch with people, I think I'm getting tired of the superficiality of Facebook. People seem to think if we're on each others' friends lists, it counts as actually being friends and keeping up with each other, which I don't agree with.

When I started my blog, I didn't really expect to make so many friends. Oh, I suppose I hoped people -- strangers -- would visit my blog. That's sort of the point of it all... But, I never really gave much thought to the idea of becoming friends with the people who would visit. Then, I received your delightful e-mail, Samara, and a friendship was born! What great fun I'm having! Thanks for including me in your wonderful list! When I started my blog, I didn’t really expect to make so many friends.

Use whatever photo editor you have and look for "resize" -I use 640x480. Or change the setting on your camera. BTW I don't think Facebook is for me...I still have pics in my camera from Christmas I haven't uploaded yet. I like the idea of a blog, but only after I get my writing desk uncluttered and I start writing! Did you figure your photo size yet?
