So, I am sitting in a pretty fun meeting: Facebook. We're working on getting EFY up and running with Facebook (an application, or whatever). Anyway, not sure if any of you are on there, but I am now--for work, I guess, or whatever. Nice to get paid to find people from my past...

Interesting. I guess there are many youth who use it so it's a good idea

It's more for an alumni thing as well (I don't really understand it all), but should be neat if we can get it going.

Interesting. I have a facebook account, more to be able to look up other people than anything else. I rarely log in. Today I did just 'cuz you brought it up...what hits me on my facebook home page? A picture of Obama in an advert from Moveon.org giving away free Obama buttons. He's sure after the young voters.

I've got a facebook account too. I used to use it more than I do now. Since it's enormous popularity growth (4th most trafficked website in the world -- http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics) they've added extra things and allowed outside developers to develop obnoxious applications on their platform -- No offense to your application you're working on Erica -- I'm hoping it's not the obnoxious type. I went into my security settings and had it block every outside application from having access to my account. Facebook is actually a brilliant idea for an address-book type thing, letting users update their own information which updates it for everyone else who needs to look them up -- which is why I keep it around (I could see Gmail using that idea some day in users contacts). Every now and then I'll use it to contact people I don't have other means of communication with, or post a little funny something.

Dad, I got your friend request. My advice to a person like you using facebook is just to disable all email notifications and put your notifications on an RSS reader. And find the way to disable the applications.

Amen

No offense taken. I don't even really know what an application is, but I think they're trying to use it as an alumni page of sorts. Something like that.

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
