Go Fund Me is the third party that suggested and ultimately nudged me to join the Facebook community again.

I had heard of Go Fund Me on a tech blog and checked it out. Sounded good, interesting, the usual. Then I needed a means of paying for a car seat for Christina. So I created a Go Fund Me account and started a fundraiser.

As many who read this may know, I was not a fan of social media. I had a Facebook account many moons ago, and opted to not partake in any reading or socializing.

When I decided it was time to login and take care of this dormant account I was unable to login. I had turned on 2-factor authentication. During my lull time I had switched phone carriers. My guess is that my 2nd-factor text could not come through. My phone number was/is the same.

Going through the steps to 'remember my password' it was of no use. In the end, I was asked to scan my driver's license and email it to them. Um, no.

So, time went on and I was Facebook free. All the other social sites free for that matter. Email, phone, and text worked for me.

Then it happened. I knew it was only a matter of time. I needed social media. And, to add to the fun, Facebook was the social site of choice for my goal, by using a third party. Ugh.

Hence the Facebook account. Here is what I have learned about myself using Facebook...

I enjoy reading about what is going on in my virtual friends lives. Like enjoying visits over a beer with friends, it doesn't last all day/night. I read Facebook posts for thirty minutes everyday. I also try to share stuff from my end at least a couple times a week. I limit the time I spend socializing to keep me in check. Like watching TV or reading a good book, the time can slip by without notice.

For all those who want to 'clean out' their friends list, if you want to by all means. I tried that. Here is what I learned, some of the friends on your list you are closer to than some of the friends you 'know' and see on occasion. I have met some of the greatest people and I have never met them in person, face-to-face, or on the eyeball.

Enjoy your socializing on social media.

The little tid bit that follows is due to reading an email that talked about pajamas. There will be several posts telling a story leading up to pajamas. I'm only throwing pajamas out there to keep you all interested. This was triggered by pajamas, but it is a story about me. Nothing fancy, no big deal, just a little share. As I write this my mind keeps side-tracking. My apologies now for all my tangents and spreading this out over a couple posts. Enjoy.

After going to the Bike Expo, I am anxious to get out and ride. I brought the bike down from it winter hibernation

Unfortunately, my schedule did not allow for riding during the day. I should go after work, but I am lazy by the time I get home. And, I haven't put the lights back on yet.

Brain storming also on how to get Christina out for a ride.

Pedal away.

Christina walked so much over the weekend. She wore me out good. And with time change for Daylight Savings Time, ugh.

We tried something different and went to the mall before the stores opened. The Kidwalk rolls easily down the halls. And, early in the morning we only have to watch out for other mall walkers. Most of the other walkers are older and stop to watch Christina.
