not to us

Well, I did it.  I de-activated my Facebook account.  I didn't delete it, because I don't want to lose the ability to connect with the nearly 600 people that I've connected with using Facebook.  So...Mike has changed my password and deactivated my account for me.  If I ever want to reactivate my account, he'll have to agree with me that I'm ready for it!  :)  LOL!

Seriously, I find it a little (or a lot) disconcerting that I have to ask Mike to help me with this.  Facebook makes it *far* too easy to reactivate your account.  (All you have to do is sign in, and it's automaticall re-activated.)  I think they realize their addicting nature.  Even worse,  I know that I wouldn't be able to keep myself from logging back in to see how many of you are doing!

With that said, some of you asked me to keep you apprised of my blog updates.  I thought I would let you all know that you can "subscribe" to the blog.  If you sign up for a News Feed service (like Google Reader, Netvibes, My Yahoo, or Bloglines), then you can add your favorite blogs to that account.  Each day, you can log in, and it will give you all the latests posts.  I currently use Netvibes, but Mike is trying to convert me to Google Reader.  If history repeats itself, I'll be a Google Reader member soon.  :)

You can find the web address for our various feeds on the right side of our site.  Just click "Feeds" in the right sidebar, and then add the page to your feed reader.  :)

I know there's a way to set up a blog for e-mail subscriptions, but I have *no* idea how to set that up.  So...whenever Mike gets a chance, I'll have him do that.  Whenever that's ready, I'll let you all know!  :)

I'll miss seeing your updates.  Truly.  Any guesses on how long it'll be until I'm back??  :)
