Tomorrow...
I haven't posted a lot on the forum, I have read posts through and played games. Facebook has sort of sucked me in and when I really think about it, for what? Lots of things that really do not matter, the good thing is I am connected to a lot of people from growing up and school that we message a lot, as well message with a few who live in other countries I know but can't call. I do miss the forum. So now I am going to cut back on facebook and spend more time reading things here that have more reality in the posts. I do enjoy posting political things on my facebook wall and have see the reality of being politically correct in being told that I offend people by my posts, (what I write about my opinion of the race for president), that I come off as a bully...etc. I only get that from those who adore Hillary. I am leaving tomorrow on a trip with my neighbor. She is moving back to her home in Evansville Indiana. Her family is there, she has lived here for 10 years. So..tomorrow we will leave, us and 3 cats in cages, spending the next 2 nights in pet friendly motels....stopping for cat breaks...this is a new experience for me . We will stop at Mt Rushmore which I am excited to see. I grew up traveling each summer through lots of states but we never saw Mt Rushmore. I have seen many many other places but we somehow drove around Mt Rushmore. I will be helping her washing cabinets etc, unpacking, meeting her family and do some sight seeing while I am there. I fly home on the 4th of November, will spend 3 hours at the Detroit airport, then to Seattle with 20 minuets to get to the plane and head out to Spokane. I am excited to be driving that far, taking a break from the everyday things in life and to see hopefully the colors of Fall on this trip.

That's why I hardly use Facebook, it is designed to suck people in. Youtube is the same, whenever I go there they display dozens of videos that resemble whatever it was that I've been watching previously and it functions as an ad wall for spending my time there. Which again translates into ad money since I will be seeing the actual ads too. It's all about creating user activity and the massively used sites are experts at turning themselves into fly traps.

Not sure how youtube is different to facebook. Maybe facebook is worse in terms of creating users who are there every 5 minutes of their waking life.
