I agree with you Dalton. I always check for posting from this site. I also do not trust Facebook. I have too many concern about privacy & hacking to use the site. Maybe talk here will increase sometime. Linda E.

As for Facebook, or Faceplant, as I have recently come to call it, it is unsafe and prone to being hacked, as mine was, which led to my taking my accound and pages down. Possibly, after a few more hacking scandles, more will apprexiate the more secure email communication. Dalton PS: I went over to tea from coffee and now avoid magnesium, and the seizures are far less. D. Butbas we get older I pay less attention to birthdays. -------- Original message -------- From: amy shultz <[email protected]> Date: 01/03/2014 03:16 (GMT-05:00) To: Pat <[email protected]>,TM group <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [TMIC] End of birthday lists I completely understand Barbara. It seems this has gotten very very quite here. Although I am feeling more and more of an alien amongst the other TM groups this one has been okay. I appreciate ALL you have done to keep them coming. Hopefully 2014 will be a bigger and brighter AND healthier year for us all. I am struggling day in and day out each and every day and am really run down!! I hope EVERYONE of you has a VERY Happy New Year and that all your dreams come true!! I will remain here for any messages but do offer my best to each and everyone of you!!!

You are correct in all your reasons. I'm still here on TMIC as well as on FBk and that's where I try to remember to send birthday greetings.
