I havent used an ink pen since grade school. We were required to use them, our teacher said ball points were for lazy bums. I remember those days, dip, write. dip, write. A real pain.

I meant the " automatic " fountain pens " not the kind w/the ink / inkwell...( God! that " dates " me!, remember the desks w/the hole for the " inkwells ?" )
Well, H--l...... it could be worse!, at least i'm not talkin bout wooden pens w/QUILLS

I think that just means adding "share this" buttons maybe?pri012345 wrote:This the only forum i enjoy being a part of. Why don't you add a few social plugins ?
Plug-ins make a site slow if you add anything bigger, IMO....but being able to "like" or "+1" a site could have its benefits, if someone maintained the pages. People who aren't using facebook need not be scared that they'll be targeted or anything.
Lol, I guess I'm an old timer. Not even 30, still writing letters. There's something satisfying about writing a letter and telling your friends weird things. I found a bunch of Christmas postcards I got in a set as a child and am going to mail them this Christmas, just for fun. Nothing like 98 Degrees postcards to old chums. Anyhow, I agree about FB, but I find it creepy how easily you can get other people's information from the site. All in one little packet, apparently. My sis is a web developer.StephenKingman wrote:Well, nobody writes letters anymore for a start! Not unless you are over 50 anyway. As for Facebook, its still a popular method of keeping in touch between like minded people. I personally would never use Linked In as its more of a professional website than an informal "chat between mates" website and Facebook is great for seeing the holiday pictures of people you dont see much after they move away, have kids etc. Facebook and email are certainly lifesavers for me when it comes to maintaining friendships and it can be done once or twice a week and not the usual sad "I just had a burger, please like me" posts from emotionally empty people..

But hey, I'm not a kid! I growed already! I'm a big girl now. My MowMow said so.
I have no idea what that means, btw.
