I like it whewn you said ' I ...Madame Blossom,<br /><br />I like it whewn you said ' I feel like I'm back in my room'.<br /><br />I think that is one way I feel about blogging, more privacy. F/b is too public like posting a note on the notice board. People who have no inteerest at all just glance at it and probably laugh. No I have no wish to use my f/b account.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-585068718735485152012-10-15T19:05:24.698+08:002012-10-15T19:05:24.698+08:00Pakcik, you don't have an FB account simply be...Pakcik, you don't have an FB account simply because you don't believe that it is necessary to have it. That's good. It's not because you are too old to learn. :)<br /><br />InsyaAllah if it's something that you are truly interested in, and NEED to use, you will learn it. <br /><br />I have an FB and Twitter account. These things actually do get to you. But for me, it's not because of short cut spellings - alhamdulillah most of my friends post normally. But it's true, a lot of petty things posted, because it doesn't take much time to post. <br /><br />Sometimes I feel like I'm in a crowded place when on FB or Twitter. And then I go to my blog, and I feel like I'm back in my own room. madame blossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273518838922517010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-11792998843061118752012-10-08T20:09:22.190+08:002012-10-08T20:09:22.190+08:00GUiKP,

I will take an aspirin and go to bed hoping for a sweet dream, blogging away.<br /><br />And I think I am 'still healthy and writing' as you said, because I have stayed cleared of these modern IT things. Don't you sometimes advise your patients to keep away from something?<br /><br />Thanks for your house call. I promise I will get to your clinics as well instead of making you call on me every time, knowing how busy you could be. In fact I have visited your clinics but stayed clear, scared to notice the operating table, x-rays, scapels and other deadly equipment.

Of course I will need one of my kids to teach me how to go about, writing down step, clicking here, clicking there, clicking one, clicking twice and so on. But what I can do myself now is copy-and-paste posting by posting on thumb drive. Thank for your suggestion which adds certainty to what should be done.<br /><br />Your blog is one of few that give me hard time to comment. The varification just keeps blank. Earlier I tried about ten times and failed to see what needs to be varified. <br /><br />By the way, the mee recipe was tried.

Being a blogger is a great effort in itself. We are fortunate to be able to read and share your experiences and thoughts in cyberspace.<br /><br />FB offers a different platform for connection. I am also quite active on FB but mostly to keep up-to-date with friends and family. Blogging is still the medium of choice for penning down stories.<br /><br />With respect to your previous post about backing up your blog, I would go along with one of the commenters who suggested to save a copy to hard disk. We can never be certain if Blogger can remain active forever. Personally, I save my posts in word format on hard drive. It was a tedious process at first but after some time it becomes routine. There are other easier ways to back-up using online services like Dropbox or Evernote, but these still leave us dependent on a third party.Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-62987218751406738622012-10-06T15:31:42.210+08:002012-10-06T15:31:42.210+08:00Ninot,

Now I have pruned down my so-called "friends" to just slightly over a hundred. I need to keep in touch with members of the extended family who are mostly with FB accounts. The generation gap is inevitable,but it can be bridged by tolerating their 'bad spellings' and not to be influenced by such garbage.abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-60193716484435383522012-10-06T07:10:38.959+08:002012-10-06T07:10:38.959+08:00Ninot,

Keeps me in touch with my children's friends<br />2. Makes it easy to organize events<br />3. Helps me remember birthdays...<br />4. Allows me to promote my poetry<br /><br />And it gives me the opportunity of brightening someone's day.<br /><br />But I agree with Sir Hank. I cringe when I see <br />1. hepi besday<br />2. u r smwh o'er d rbow???<br />3.
