Comments: Sure, Doc. Next thing we know you'll be bashing the incredible array of talent on Dancing With the Stars. Let GeoJohnni have his fantasies.
Comments: Shame on you Johnny Southworth, wasting your valuable time on Snooki of Jersey Shore. I refuse to participate in that discussion of "no talent celebrities". Now, if you want to talk about JWoww, I'm all in, brotha.
Comments: Maybe I can be Judi Kardashian!
Comments: I'm waiting for you to refer to Jud as "Judi."
Comments: Oh, excuse me. The current trend is to end it with an "i". My apologies to Jersey Snooki ... whatev.
Comments: Jud, I can handle the royal wedding hype just fine. What turns my stomach is the constant updates on "Snookie" of Jersey Shores. What in the world makes her a celebrity? To my old brain there is only one "Snooky" ... Snooky Lanson of Your Hit Parade (circa late 1950's).
Comments: Just another thing that might help you with the spam/cookies thing on your computer, not necessarily related to FB. Go to your Tools on the toolbar, right hand corner, click then go down to Internet Options and click on that. In the General section, second paragraph it will read "Delete temporary files on one and Delete browsing History on exit". Click on them and hit OK. You can also set your settings to do this on a timely basis which will remove those cookies every time you exit or whenever you want them to be removed or right then. I also have my email set with Gmail.com and with Gmail, I receive non of that Spam stuff, it's free and I like it more than AOL, Yahoo, etc. as far as speed, etc. Hope I helped one more time.
Comments: I think I may actually prefer the spam to all the hype on the royal wedding! Who cares?
Comments: That's dot ORG......
Comments: I went to selectout.net this afternoon and opted out of all those tracking cookies................then I went back tonight and there were more!!!!! I think we have to check this often! Thanks Phil!
Comments: Janelle, I've bailed out of FB twice, and it won't go away. Then I miss seeing stuff and get back in. Nice to see you post here, BTW Phil, that's a great suggestion, unless it too is polluting my computer. ha. Think I'm paraoid?? Anyway, I clicked all the active cookies and hope to get fewer spams about Viagra and credit repair. Makes me wonder what they think I'm up to!
Comments: You all could do what I did, just eliminate FB completely. After watching The Social Network, I bailed. What a jerk!
Comments: I suggest you all go to selectout.org You can clean out tracking cookies. I found out through Kim Komando computer daily tip. ![]()
Comments: There are days when the only interesting emails I get are the spam ones. Who knew there were so many different "enlargement" techniques?
Comments: I am now only receiving my "find older singles in your area" and "medications for less" spam...it is nice to only have 4 spams a day again. ![]()
Comments: I went through FB and unchecked everything, too. I did this not long ago! They obviously became unchecked. The e-mails seem to have ceased. Thanks for the reminder about this.
Comments: I followed the instructions and BAM I am rid of those spam emails. I was actually shocked at the number of notifications that were checked...I don't remember getting the opportunity to choose any of those. Anyway, I have unchecked most of them....whoa! We HAVE to be diligent if we stay on FB!!!!
Comments: Just a quick note to thank Tanya Leverett for her post about the passing and funeral of Anna Mary Wilson. Anna Mary, her husband Kenneth and of course their three lovely daughters, Carolyn, Jean and June were very much a part of my formative years at Wesley Methodist Church. The entire Wilson family was an integral part of the youth movement, MYF, which for many years played a pivotal role in many of our youth's lives at Wesley. The past couple of days since I read Tanya's note brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth and seeing "the girls" yesterday at Elmwood and our visit was priceless. It was great seeing you Tanya and Gary and thank you again for your note here on the '63 guest book about Anna Mary's passing.
Comments: Charlotte and Lynell, and for all those who do not wish to receive those hundreds of emails from FB in the SOC Group, Go to: Account Settings, then Click on Notifications. Scroll down to Groups, then click on the "Change email settings for individual groups". A box will come up that has a box checked for SOC Group, unclick that box and hit Save settings. This will eliminate all those pesky emails coming through. Hope this helped some.
Comments: Phil, Oh, ha ha! you must have a secret to not receiving notifications..share!!!
Comments: There are advantages to not being as popular as Lynell and Charlotte. I receive only a few emails from fb a week. ![]()
Comments:
Comments: [B]Is anyone else tired of all the SOC notifications from FB? Sheesh! They always go into my spam folder but sometimes over 30 per day. [/B]. [B]Do I really want to stay on FB?[/B]
Comments: Charlotte, Vick is living in the Austin area, has a young oriental wife and he plays golf a lot. Gary talked to him when they were trying to get the Guys Barbecue lunch going back when Charlie Hardt was still with all of us. He sayd Vick seemed very happy. On another note, I believe you and Lynell and several others on this site remember the Wilson twins, Jean and June from Boude Storey, they went on to Adamson. Their mother passed away today and her service will be at the Elmwood United Methodist Church, 1315 Berkley Ave in Oak Cliff at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday April 19th. I have Jean Wilson-Meyer's address and email if any of you would like to have it, just email me and I will send it to you.
Comments: Yes, his name is Vick Haak. I wonder how Vick is doing? He was a cutie in Jr High...well, I guess we all were back then................haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Comments: Thanks Tanya - Ginger sent me some info on that. Timing is everything and having the Coomes name come up and then seeing that truck was really strange.
Comments: Cynthia, Henry was in the carpet and flooring business, took it over from one of his partners Vic Haak, former Boude Storey boy and Adamson graduate. Hope I spelled the name correctly, Charlotte correct me on Vic's name, I know you knew him too.
Comments: Of all things, this morning going through my neighborhood on my way to work, I passed a large truck that had Coomes Air Conditioning. It was at a home in the neighborhood. I remember Mary telling me her faither was a fireman. Made me wonder if maybe prior to his health concerns Henry had a HVAC company and just maybe if this could be his son continuing the business. Not too often you run across the name Coomes.
Comments: To the class of 63, we have several in our class of 65 greatly in need of prayers right now so send some up if you can for these sweet people: Vicki Liles-Redden (Sister to Lena) who is in her second bout with ovarian cancer, half-way through chemo right now, Phyllis Kelley going through her radiation treatments for her cancer, Paul Jennings (brother to Ronnie Jennings class of 62) has a staph infection that they cannot locate to cure him and it is affecting his liver and vital organs, Tommy Barr recovering from quadruple bypass last week and Bob Dees currently undergoing radiation for his cancer. Thank you for praying for all our SOC friends.
Comments: I can ask him too, I think he should. Men, they drag their feet sometimes and I feel like I need a cattle prod to get him up and going. I know Henry would like to hear from him so I may just dial the number and hand the phone to Gary and see what happens. Might work! Will let you all know what we find out. |
