25549. alistairconnor - 8/15/2009 2:29:34 PM I use Facebook essentially for clues about what my daughters are thinking. 25550. judithathome - 8/15/2009 4:39:47 PM I avoid FB because I'm basically burned out on the internet, period.
I post here and at RI and in two TV-oriented forums but that's it.
25551. arkymalarky - 8/15/2009 7:01:57 PM Facebook is great for keeping up with our exchange students, especially since Bob and I have apps on our phones and don't have to slog thru dialup. But we can't get it at work and it's hard to find time and broadband, so our Facebooks are totally boring. 25552. iiibbb - 8/16/2009 12:50:18 AM I love facebook, and I've pulled so many old friends out of the woodwork with it. 25553. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 1:55:21 AM A classmate/friend told me lots of us are on there but I haven't been able to go looking much yet. We just got on it this summer. 25554. Wombat - 8/16/2009 2:56:55 AM I'm on it! 25555. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 3:33:34 AM The only thing I don't like about it (and it's signficant) is what No said. There are a few who need to get a blog and let us go see it rather than putting everything on fb. The phone app just notifies me when someone addresses me. When I go to my page on a pc it seems like about three people (including, unfortunately, a family member or two or three) and their play-by-play living make it overwhelming. 25556. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 3:36:41 AM Anyone have any advice for trying to sell an autographed first edition good condition hardbacked book from 1937 that was made into a 1940 movie? The book is Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts and I just discovered I had it--no idea where I got it. 25557. iiibbb - 8/16/2009 3:59:21 AM Message # 25555
You can turn off notices from individuals so it doesn't show up on your newsfeed.
It's very customizable. 25558. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 4:41:56 AM Thanks! Next time I'm on a pc I'll look for that. When I'm on a pc with a good connection and nothing blocked I'm always in a hurry to do stuff I normally can't do and don't take time to look around. 25559. iiibbb - 8/16/2009 4:51:49 AM All you have to do is run your mouse over the news item... a little "hide so-and-so" will pop up. click that and you only get news from them if you go to their profile. 25560. iiibbb - 8/16/2009 4:52:28 AM You can also make it so applications won't constantly message you. 25561. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 5:18:32 AM Cool! 25562. judithathome - 8/16/2009 2:36:05 PM Arky, there are sites that deal in old books...I used to have a few saved...I'll check and see what I can find.
Whatever you do, don't toss it until you exhaust every possiblity...eBay, Craig's List, etc.
I can also ask around down here...I know a guy who collects first editions. (If he hasn't passed on by now....) 25563. judithathome - 8/16/2009 2:41:50 PM Here is a good site with links to others...I'm still looking for one particular one. 25564. judithathome - 8/16/2009 2:46:22 PM Another one...
I'm looking for places that have free estimates offered...although book collecting is very popular, some collecters have niche preferences and want particular subjects...what you need is one that wants books associated with movies. A double whammy! 25565. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 3:32:54 PM Thanks Judith! I looked at it on alibris (sp?) last night, and one like it (no dust jacket) was around $200. When I saw it had been made into a movie I was hoping I'd find an extra zero on the number! I won't toss it, but ebay didn't look like the place to try to sell it, since the one attempt to sell a similar evidently fell flat. The links help a lot and if I don't get something comparable to what it's going for elsewhere I'll just keep it. 25566. judithathome - 8/16/2009 3:53:43 PM Well, if you decide to go the eBay route, Scotty, my neighbor, said he'd be happy to put it on his (successful) site at eBay. Just let me know.
It was made into a Spencer Tracy movie and the director was King Vidor...there's two other collector chances right there. 25567. arkymalarky - 8/16/2009 3:59:22 PM Thanks so much! 25568. judithathome - 8/21/2009 5:40:55 PM Arky, I just noticed the earrings I was going to give you (from that necklace I bought) are still here...I'll send them along when I send the pants from CostCo...not here yet but they should be in stock any week now!
