We are going to get pummeled. 55 mph wind gusts! Power outages! YEAH! Although, we have a whole house generator.

Still a little too early here in Maine. We're bracing for a huge winter storm that will bring us 20 inches over the next couple of days.

However, by next week it will all be gone since the temps will rise into the mid 60s.

Looking forward to spring and growing vegetables in my garden (tomatoes, cucumbers, and other typical salad making items).

Thanks so much!

That's interesting and I've never heard of the focus feature (I don't use my phone very much). Where do I find the focus feature?

Absolutely. My unsolicited advice is to proceed with caution. I was there, many years ago, when the Internet changed from University access to a flood of the public. It has become known as the 'Eternal September'.

From most person's experience, during that transition, we all knew each other in real life. There wasn't anonymity.

And, all of a sudden, there was anonymity. Thus, people could just say anything that they wanted without consequences.

Fast forward to now, and it's a complete shit show. Where do we turn?

I was on FB before most people knew what it was. Trust me...I'm old :P..I deleted my original account many years ago.

Many years later, when I realized that certain family/friends would NOT get rid of it, I started a new account that I locked down.

I only use it to stay in touch with the aforementioned people.

I find, if you use it in this way, then there are no problems with ads or other bullshit.
