I feel like I might get in trouble from my provider!

Re: OT Poll: Are Strictly "Social" Networks Good? Evil? Both?

I love FB. With it, I have been able to set up a quarterly luncheon for college classmates living in our city, a monthly neighborhood coffee hour, a monthly luncheon for an old group of friends and a quarterly luncheon of people that worked together and are now retired. I even set up an annual reuni...

I also use Biotene Oral Balance gel. Once this company was bought out, and the formulation changed, it did not work so well. I swit...
