'highlite36' does not show on facebook. you have to use the name you registered with, not your 'cyber' name.

I thought you used email to find people on facebook....in which case, my email would be highlite36@yahoo.com.  Otherwise, I should be registered as "Dee Her"  Hope that works for you....

i repeat, myspace gives your email address to advertisers, who inundate your inbox with mindless ads, endlessly. facebook allows you more control over notifications, and doesn't give your email address to anyone.

I was suckered into getting into MySpace from a friend, but I haven't been innundated with emails. I just get the stupid 21st century hooker wannabees in the friends request. But that has changed since changing privacy settings and so forth. If it wasn't for surgarfree on MySpace though, I wouldn't have found this group.

Maybe an IHD group might be a good idea?

i've deactivated my account on facebook. its not easy, as most of you know, when you have a life-threatening condition, to communicate honestly, your feelings, your perceptions. i find that there are too many who are too quick to attack, like seagulls tear apart their own.
'healthy' people don't want to hear about illness, it can often cause them to react with anger and cynicism. i'm tired of that crap. thanks to the internet, one doesn't even have to leave their home to find a nest of raging assholes, it seems.
i've come to the conclusion that there is no way to relieve the isolation i feel and that i may as well embrace it, instead of trying to change it.

thank the cosmos for this site!

love to all.

i'm pretty sure you can, but i'm too lazy to do that.  really, i don't want to be on a site that has so much potential for misunderstandings and conflicts. i used to like message boards, but the more time i spend on them, the less i like them...and people...
i love my cat. and wife.

After looking into it further, I agree, Myspace is better... but it's to each his/her own. :)

I never really could see the point of myspace, but I don't have that many contacts so that may be the problem. I have had it for a long time and I did blog there for awhile.
I use facebook everyday. It is so easy to post photo albums and add music and videos, even in messages. I like that people can write on my graffiti wall. I also like the news feed feature, it tells you which of your friends added something on their page.

Karol- Can you only view your profile if your on your friends list? All I see when I click your page is "Member Not Found/Page Not Found" so I then logged in, and it pulled up your page, but I see nothing.. no  "graffiti wall" or anything... I see nothing.

I see a picture you have of yourself on the left and some trees on the right, and then I see "Name: Karol Franks" "Network: Los Angeles, CA"

On the right I see "Send Message, Poke Karol!, View Friends, and Add to Friends"

And all of that info is in 1 small box at the top of the page, under it an advertisement and then blank page underneath of that.
