I didn't go poof! Don't tell them I'm here.
The "Children of the Main Board" just crack me up.

Deetie, I finally join Facebook and they change the rules.
What the frack?

Never mind, I just saw your Facebook post, Girly. No, I'm not mocking you.

ETA: But I think I'll take "Frack" as my username.

And yes, that time I was mocking you, Girly.

SOMMS didn't go POOF?

Wouldn't that count as one of the 7 signs of something?

I didn't go into the link to read it, but just reading that Notice made me think you could choose one if you wanted to, but didn't HAVE to. Is there more to it?

Somms, when you get used to something on FB, they change it, and as soon as you get used to THAT way, they go and f*ck with it again.

And I'm going to frackin' smack you both upside the head!

"From the beginning of Facebook, people have used their real names to share and connect with the people they know. This authenticity helps to create a trusted environment because you know the identity of the people and things on Facebook. The one place, though, where your identity wasn't reflected was in the Web address for your profile or the Facebook Pages you administer. The URL was just a randomly assigned number like "id=592952074." That soon will change.

We're planning to offer Facebook usernames to make it easier for people to find and connect with you. When your friends, family members or co-workers visit your profile or Pages on Facebook, they will be able to enter your username as part of the URL in their browser. This way people will have an easy-to-remember way to find you. We expect to offer even more ways to use your Facebook username in the future."

Mornin'.

*sips coffee*

Well first of all, unless we're already friends, people can't visit my various pages, so why would I need a user name? They can find me using my real name. And if we're already friends, they can get to any of my pages WITHOUT a user name. They can get there through their friends list, or a newsfeed posting if there's a recent one.


ETA: Mmmm. Coffee. I need more. Hiya Shamey!

Exactly, Girly!

Et, pour vous:




ETA: Shamey! You snuck in there so quietly.

Hey Girly!

So, you don't have a countdown going yet?

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 8:43am

I completely forgot I wanted to do that this morning! Fixed!

Thanks, Deet!

I didn't stir the pot - I was called a name!!!!

(said with feigned indignity!)

Yes, the Karen Olivio and Alice Ripley threads were enjoyable, as was the Billy Elliot thread with people complaining that it wasn't thrilling enough.

I sometimes forget how enjoyable the Main Board can be.

...regarding the Facebook username thing: I clicked on the link to have the email sent to me, but haven't read it yet.

So, totally don't get it.

Morning!

I guess I'm a bit late to the party. Any leftovers?

We lost the office server in last night's storms so we've been without computers until now. Most peeps went out to breakfast. I was "good" and went to Weight Watchers. I lost a full pound on the champagne and chocolate truffle diet last week! I'm trying that more often - forget the frackin' salads.

G'morning!

re: facebook user name, from what I understand it's regarding the URL of your page. Instead of being a log of symbols and random numbers, it's going to be your name or something you choose. You will get a chance to select what you want - name.lastname, initiallastname, or even select a totally different one, i.e. d2 or daydreamer.

Hi adults! Busy day in the Great Pacific Northwest. Went to the Spotlight on "Catch Me if You Can" last night, and it's so promising. The music they sang was awesome, and that creative team! What a dream team indeed. Mark Shaiman was hilarious - that man is brilliant. The concept of the show sounds very interesting, and to see Norbie on stage again. *sigh*

myspace has always done that. You can search someone by a unique name like for example - www.myspace.com/motortink or you can search through the Find thing by my actual name. I guess this helps people search better if your name is John Smith and you say "friend me on facebook" cause 18 billion John Smith's will pop up. This way they can say "friend me - jsmith12" or something.

I dunno.

I want to remain a shy, retiring recluse, so you can all find me at www.facebook.com/ladywithabagoverherhead.

DD - so glad that you liked CMIYC! I can't wait to see it.

If this b*tch near me doesn't stop chewing her chips like a cow, one of you may have to bail me out. Jesus Christ. Full mouth open, chomp, chomp, chomp. I wonder if she teaches her 2 year old that. Or maybe the fact that she's preggers is her excuse. So help me God, the way I feel right now...

Breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:04pm

You too, Shira, because we're using your Prada fund for Girly's bail money.

[shira467]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:05pm

WHAT? No way. How come her lack of impulse control which causes the need for bail money has to get in the way of my shoes? Sorry Girly!
