do computers in Holland have 'return' keys?

or do they say 'terugkeren' ?? :idontknow:

Why, yes...

..we do.

Though, we've just lazily adopted the English terms.

I can't shake the feeling I'm going to die alone and miserable.

Well your not alone while you are in here

You can let it all out in here to us. Just getting the emotional angst out verbally can surprisingly help a lot.

100 homes have been burnt to the ground in Dunally Tasmania, my heart goes out to the poor people who have lost their homes.

It is really wonderful when you receive an email from yourself i.e. spam sent using your primary email address.

Ooh, I'm an "ultimate user" now. Booyah!

I hope that means a user of this board and not a user of something else.

superfluouslyme · Jan 4, 2013

Now I'm a "super ultimate user." Coyote, are you messing with me?

I wonder what that specifically entails!?:thinking:

If you don't have a Facebook you may as well not exist, except to those you come into direct contact with every day. No one uses the phone anymore (voice anyway), and no one uses email for anything other than business. Well, maybe the older generation does, but mine doesn't.

I resent this greatly. My Facebook /= who I am. It is simply a tool to communicate. I don't see anyone adding contacts to their phone simply to have more. I'm sick of the popularity contest and I'm sick of everyone using FB as the only way to keep in touch. I hope something better replaces it, but knowing humans, it will probably turn negative as well...

mg:

There are positive things, though. It's not all bad.

I know how hard it is to go to work while extremely sick too.
At the last place I worked you had to be dead or in a coma before you were allowed to not come into work for sickness.:sad:
I hope your dose of the flu does not last too long BlackSheep.

Thanks, ladies! I made it through my shift, blowin' my runny nose pretty much the whole time though - ugh. I look like Rudolph now! I don't get another day off until Tuesday, so I hope this thing passes quickly.

I think Facebook is massively convenient and easy to use, it's fun to look through photos, and I wouldn't want to be without it, but I agree with the sentiment of your post. I think sometimes people put too much thought into how they come across on Facebook, and so it does often live up to it's nickname, Fakebook. I prefer to use phone-calls or phone-based instant message systems to communicate with my friends - feels more personal and 'real'.

Should be called Fakebook. I agree with twiggle. I prefer calls, emails or face to face.

I must be one of last few people in the Western world left that don't, or never have had, a Facebook page.
This is because I would only have 1 person as my "friend", and don't I want a potential employer checking out my Facebook page to see this weirdo only has 1 friend and has no social life whatsoever!:blushing:

You only need one! I have three and they're amazing. You're smart not to be on Facebook, it lost its cache a long time ago.

So excited... I can't wait until February when Clive Nolan's (Caamora) new musical 'Alchemy' is to be released on CD, and will also be recorded for DVD in Poland! ^_^ I've heard clips and one full song played on a Polish radio station (goodness knows why he's so much more popular in Poland...) and I have to say it sounds very good! ^__^ I just wish I could go and see the full theatrical performance in Cheltenham. *Sigh* Stupid agoraphobia, stupid social phobia, stupid me. *Grumbles to self*

A mistake was made with the true meaning of life. It is actually 41.

I'm definitely one!

Me too

Anyone on here who is nice (and relatively normal

) and we've talked a bit, I usually don't have a problem adding if anyone wants to. But that's if they're comfortable with that of course.
