One Week off of FaceBook

One week without Facebook.

Eight "Personal Message" Notifications

Fourteen "Tagged You In A Post" notifications

Four "Wrote Something On Your Wall" notifications

Seven "Commented On Your Link" notifications regarding cross-posted LiveJournal posts.

Three people who have come back to LJ in some capacity just so they could interact with me :)

ZERO E-mails, Texts, IM's and/or phone calls from people who felt a need/desire to make sure that the stuff they posted on FaceBook got through to me.

It's *inconvenient* to avoid Facebook, but not at all impossible. I've been laid-up all week with a sore ankle, too, and thought for sure that I was going to just casually start browsing FaceBook again out of boredom, but y'know what? Didn't happen! I even had MORE TIME for all that stuff I'm always so upset that I don't have time for any more!

I wrote stories!

I watched Mystery Science Theater 3000!

I had great conversations with folks in the various communities here on LiveJournal!

I created *content*!

Even though I mostly just sat here all week long, I felt PRODUCTIVE! It's been GREAT!

So now I have to decide... what do I do with FaceBook?

Ok, figured it out! On LJ go to "message" (top left hand corner right under your user name) , on the right hand side click "manage settings" click on the "Notifications" tab, under the My Account you can choose to have replies to your comments sent to your LJ inbox.

It is in a completely different spot on my page but what you pointed me to is just what I was looking for. Now we'll see if it works.

Thank you so much!!!
