     I am now learning all about Facebook, I am not sure why I am doing this, but I am told that it is important to be on it, as you gain all these friends. Of course being on Facebook, My Space, Twittering and doing email is very time consuming. After a day in the office working on the computer in Word, Excel, Access, Adobe Illustrator, Smart Draw and my business program, I really want to spend hours twittering, tweeting and commenting on Facebook.
     Even the phones are now computerized. I called Dish and talked to a computer for 10 minutes before (it or he) would put me through to a real live person, who is on the other side of the world, with an accent that I cannot understand. So this simple call takes about 40 minutes. What has happened to the days of person to person or face to face conversations'?
     I got a new cell phone, a Droid, very user friendly, I was told. It took me a week to finally answer a call. It was so exciting when it finally worked. I was using my thumb instead of my index finger, they say it is all in the touch. So I went to a class with 10 other white headed people to learn how to use this user friendly phone. There is something wrong with this picture and the term user friendly. Oh well, I shall learn and be a part of this new computerized world. I have been told to get a teenager to move in, to teach me. I am really considering this.
     One thing about the bead shows is you can touch and feel the beads, you do not have to talk to a computer, it is person to person. A great computer free day at the bead show.

     Come and enjoy our bead show, lots of vendors with lots of wonderful beads.







So again Happy Beading.
