This is my first blog on the LFAD Forums. First of many, knowing me. For the first one, I decided to talk about new ways I'm working on for communication on Facebook. Facebook inbox has been our main outlet, but sometimes it annoys me, because things get lost in the archives, and it is too time consuming to wade through all the messages to find a special note, or photo that I want to see again. Well, I've done it before, when it seemed like inbox was getting too routine: created a SECRET Facebook group, just for the two of us. The last time I did it, he panicked because he could see it on his Ticker and News Feed, so he was sure that his friends could see it, too. I assured him that SECRET means that NOBODY but members of the group (meaning us) can see anything. Friends can't see the group, names of the members, or what we post. We are safe. So far, he is fine with it this time. Let's hope he stays that way.

I made him admin, so we have equal rights to post events, add files, or pin important things at the top. Pinned at the top, special things won't fall to the bottom and get lost.

On my other groups, I never really figured out what to do to keep it fun and interesting. This time, I'm taking advantage of the special features, like polls. This way it will be quick and easy to find out more about each other's favorites, pet peeves, and other things we wonder about each other. I'm even going to use it to ask him some of the questions in the LDR Workbook.

Of course, I will post my poems, photos and quotes, photos of me, links to articles, and YouTube videos. And I told him he can, too. And I told him we can just come and go as we please. and as we can. We don't have to chat if we are busy, we can just surprise each other with messages, photos, quick comments, etc. And we can be silly, serious, sexy, or spiritual. I think we will have a lot of fun in our little bit of cyber-space.
