	Me too Shirley. My kids laugh at how much I use FB but it's a great way of keeping in touch with them and friends - especially friends that I made on here but who have now left this site. It keeps me up to date with news events, progress on the health issues I am interested in, as well as the various genealogy and jokes pages. Great fun. :-D :-D

	Well I like Facebook sorry and all that One of my nephews created a family group on there and lots of family photos have been found by various family members and posted on it . It's lovely to see again old pictures of my mum and dad that I remember seeing but didn't have copies Plus we lost our youngest brother last year . In his teenage years he was the lead singer in a local SE London group who played rather like the shadows with vocals .they were very good and did come 2nd to a group Bo street runners in a talent TV contest. Ready steady win Through Facebook we have made contact with one of the founder members who still plays gigs and he has sent us through Facebook loads of pictures of the group playing at gigs in those days and it's lovely to see our brother as we remember him as a young man So yes I love facebook and take a look in several times a day . Same as I look in on Genes too , probably more cos I stay to try and help with look ups Each to his own surely I do have a life too :-D :-D :-D Right off to do the weekly shop now whilst hubby is at his day centre ;-)

	Well, at 08:30-ish this morning, I 'received', on my mobile 2 picture notifications from each of my daughters. My phone neither takes nor receives photo's, so I have to go online. Couldn't open either of them. Phoned both daughters tonight - neither had sent photo's :-S

	Facebook have said that the down-time occurred while they 'introduced a change that affected their configuration systems'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30996928 If some users went into melt-down while it was off line, they really need to a have close look at their life!
