    Two of my friends use only Facebook messenger and the others text or email. I like both messenger and texts.

    I love Messenger and email. Hate texting but can't contact Son/DnL any other way most of the time! I hate talking on the phone.

    Good morning ladies!

    I don't use Messenger. I don't trust Facebook, although I couldn't say exactly what I suspect them of doing. I look at other people's posts but I rarely post anything myself.

    Time to go buy groceries! I kept putting it off due to rain. Ciao!

    Debbie - so sorry to hear about Destiny. Sending prayers. Your mom's roommate situation is worrisome, hope that gal takes off with minimal hassle. I wonder what my life will be like in, say, ten years. Will I still be here and able to afford to live by myself? Would I be willing to share my house and give up my quiet space? Rori's solution sounds good with a roommate who has his own interests and is used to sharing a home. It's still early days, I'm not worried. Still keeping traveling nurses in the back of my mind.

    A couple days ago I ran to town after lunch to deal with a Credit Union error (another case of a little bitty IRA CD being rolled into a non-IRA CD = taxable distribution. Their boo-boo and they fixed it!). I ran into one of my former favorite supervisors there, who has also since retired. We stood in the shade outside the building and yakked and reminisced for probably half an hour. He's a kick - we'll meet one of these days for coffee or lunch. NOT romantic! Just a friend. :) Another benefit of getting back out in the world and being able to do spontaneous things. :)

    Facebook Messenger question: I'm curious. How many of you use Facebook Messenger as a primary way of communicating with people? I like that I can open it on my tablet and not have to also open FB and be bombarded with their ads. Seems like 99% of my friends prefer Messenger over texting and email.

    That's a wrap. New gals - pop in!

    Make it a fabulous Wednesday <3

    Thank you for your prayers for Destiny- she needs all she can get. When they first found it in her leg, they thought they were going to have to amputate but they were able to save it. They have found spots on her lungs, did chemo and they either shrunk dramatically or were gone, then, they did new scans and found new spots and they are also doing more tests because of a lot of pain in her stomach.
    She has been so strong in her faith this whole time. Stronger than most adults I know.

    as for FB Messenger-I use it all the time. Actually use that to communicate with dh more than actual talking most of the time(he is either at his mother's or back in his room and he will message me instead of coming into the living room to talk to me.
    That is the only way I communicate with my older sister and most of the time with my younger sister, unless she wants to vent to someone and she calls me.
    I only have one person I text with (former hubby) . We did use messenger but until he stopped using FB because he was being stalked. I told him he could use just messenger but not FB but he chooses texting-I am fine, as long as we are chatting, I don't care how, BUT- it would be easier for me if it was FB- because I can type really fast on my keyboard compared to on my phone.

    I'm another one trying to tolerate floaters in my eyes. Another reason to avoid driving at night.

    I am spending the afternoon with DH. I think he will move into my/our apartment in a few days. I look forward to it.

    Rosemarie if you have any type of chronic pain you might want to see if you can get a prescription for it. I will help you with how to use it like I do. It's very effective!

    Mary--The TENS unit I have, has the pads. I wonder if it would work on my bat wings. I will have eto give it a try. Can't hurt.

    I would get the wand. You can probably get one for your TENS unit. I cover every square inch of my face. I don't think that the pads would work the same.

    I use FB Messenger daily. I have a group message with my girls, a couple my eldest daughter added me to with her friends and one my youngest started named Fam Jam.

    2 of us use iPhones and 2 androids it is our way of having group messages.
    My cousin and I communicate almost entirely through messenger. So does my Brother and I.

    Having done a quick research on Google I see they are not exactly the same. Most people in the UK use WhatsApp. Easy to video conference as well, voice message etc, though I mostly use it for chat and sending photos and videos.
