Schoolmarm, I finally found Scrabble but none of the others you've listed. I'll go try again. Thanks!

I know virtually nothing about Facebook and the like. Want to sign up for FB. First page of sign up -- do you put your real first and last name there? Or more like screen name? Or what?

It's pointless to not use your real name. People will be searching for YOU and not your screen name. It's really not scary to use your real life name...

Holly, there are scrabble games called Lexulous and Wordscraper.

Colordeagua, using your own name is fine, since you can make it as private or public as you want.

The principal at Dylan's school said FB has been responsible for the rise in girl/girl fighting this year. So it has it's plus and minus'

I know I decided to not really use it because of some of the titles I am holding now.

Nope you don't "have" to use your real name. You have to check the box to agree to their rules, which I think - I dunno I didn't read them - includes that you are using your real name. But you don't "have" to use your real name. Just like you don't "have" to do things in real life. You don't "have" to drive 55 or slower in a 55mph zone. There might be consequences if you driver faster than 55, but you don't "have" to drive 55 or slower. The only thing you "have" to do on Facebook is fill out the form, provide a working email address, and click the box that says you agree to their terms.

Actually it really depends on what you are using your Facebook account for. I'm not using mine for former classmates and coworkers to find me. I couldn't care less if any of the ones I am not currently in contact with find me. My Facebook was created to keep in contact with my sister-in-law and 3 nieces because they preferred it over emailing. I now have some from TVCH on it, and I have denied some from TVCH who requested to be friends. I'm not into the number thing. I only want people on my Facebook that I'm going to interact with, and who are going to interact with me. It's nothing personal.

As far as it being scary using your real name, you don't know my husband's ex-wife. *L* I've heard in the next version of Webster's dictionary, there is a picture of her that is used for the #3 definition of the word!

Yes, it is as public or as private as you like. But I don't think it's a crime NOT to use your real name if you don't feel so inclined. If my bonus kids decide they want me on their Facebook too [cuz they made me make a Myspace, and oh my name there isn't real!] then I'll probably end end up making a 2nd one and keeping family and TVCH totally separate. [Yes I know you can only "have" one Facebook page!] Cuz I gotta live up to the sweet, innocent, moral, good example step-mom that I always have tried to be!

Serate, I do not care if you lie to Facebook.

Very much admire the "sweet, innocent, moral, good example step-mom that I always have tried to be!"

A slight clarification... You have to have an email address that is your own. NC and I use the same home email address. I have a couple of other email addresses for two different worksites. NC happens to have one on yahoo he created a few years back to participate in some fantasy league. However we both consider our iowatelecom address as our home email address. Since I signed up for Facebook first he has to use his yahoo email, which he never checks.

Btw, we had to have prior approval to use the same email for TVCH. The moderators were kind enough to welcome the both of us under one email.

Pamy, one of the things my son told my daughter when she started using FB...'don't have girl fights; you will get a bad rep!'

Thanks for that info Bookie, I should have known from Myspace that you had to use different email addresses. Don't have to worry about that here as hubby isn't into Facebook or Myspace, and the bonus kids definitely don't want their dad on their pages. *L*

Christy I try to be a good stepmom. I try to be the exact opposite of their birth vessel. They need a female to be a good example to them. It's not like I'm a bad person to begin with, but sometimes I like to cut loose and prefer them not to see that. Well the older ones I've loosened up alot with, the 2 under 18, some but not as much.

I'm thinking I like FB better than myspace. There is an application called Farm Town and I'm totally addicted to it.

I use my real name on both - Freda Ann

I'm having a lot of fun on Facebook. I don't have a MySpace, never wanted one. I've gotten in touch with some old friends and it's been really a good experience for me.

Grace, yes and no. The concept is the same but the graphics on Farm Town are much much better. The animals move around and make noises. You can chat, hire others to harvest for you, pick your neighbors. I've pretty much quit working My Farm except for occasionally harvesting my trees.

I know that My Farm lost most, if not all, of their graphic designers several months ago and I'm more than a little suspicious that maybe they jumped ship to start Farm Town.

Escapee, I'm only planting sunflowers right now until I get to 24x24 and the windmill and barn. I've staggered the crops so that I'm not having to harvest the whole thing at one time.

I planted sunflowers, coffee and corn, then ran out of money, I wish the animals were useful. And what is the deal with pine trees? No good for anything
