Well right above your post Sue, Peter manages to find FB as well a send me emails still, so I don't understand why he doesn't look in here now and again.



I miss the old lot, too.  To answer your question, Ron, I'm going to guess that it's because Facebook is so time consuming.  That's why I dumped it.

 

Couldn't agree more Ruth re the members. I find FB time consuming and confusing with it, which is why I only click on things that are sent to me, and then I can't always work out where to go so FB is no, no for me.

I've not heard of Fry's Five Boys. I hope they were all good looking.

I thought I might have gotten that round the wrong way. Thanks!
