I just started on Facebook. How do you get to the games? I have no clue what I am doing. I wanted to keep in touch with old friends & distant relatives. I have them all over the place. Can anyone help me out?
 
Go to Applications on the bottom left and then click 'find more'. There are many catagories there including gaming. It may not be the correct way to do it but it's the only way I know :)
 
I have a facebook account, but NEVER log on. I prefer my Myspace account.
 
I'm on Facebook too ... Penny Erb.
 
I am on FB too, it is addicting. I play a lot of games.
 
I cannot stand the applications / games. LOL I ignore all requests. I just mainly keep in contact wiht friends and relatives.

I like Scramble. If I start play gambling I won't want to get up and go to work...
 
I am addicted to YoVille. I would love to have some cheffers on my crew....
My name is under Kristin Ebert Dahlstrom.
 
I like it much better than myspace because I dont have to read through glitter and it just seems more grown-up I use it for my other "business" and have had a blast re-connecting with friends I had totally forgotten about! Found cousins too that I had grown apart from. I really like it! I'm under Cindy Taylor if you want to look for me! (Probably lots with my name.....).
 
What do you do if hosts are on FB and they set up their show as an event and send out invites that way either in place of the PWS E-vites or in addition to? Can we get in trouble for this?

My understanding is, yes you can if she posted a link to your website. I'm not sure if you would get in trouble if she just created an event without a link to your site. That's just her telling people she's hosting a show, it doesn't give you any advantage over any other consultant.
 
I LOVE facebook, I am an addict and need HELP!!!!!!!
 
Facebook is awesome. You can use it for so many things, but be aware that thing that you post in "your name' IS... are submitted to everyone on your friend list. Use some judgment, but have fun!

I love pathwords, scramble and wordtwist. I stink at wordtwist, but I hope to get better one day!! :)
 
How do I "un-invite" someone? My email linked me with a past host that I really like and turns out the email was her hubby's. He is a nice guy and all but I am not sure that i want to continue to "talk" with him. He only started "talking" to me tonight. But is there a way to "un-invite" that isn't rude?

I am thinking probably not...but one never does know.

PS. I am under Chris Moshier. I think...I am still new at this.
 
You can go to your Friends list, and on the right of the name, there's a little X you can use to delete a friend. They will not receive any kind of a notice that you did so, you'll just disappear from their friend list. Just make sure that your profile is then set to whatever settings you want (visible to friends only, friends of friends, your network or everyone).
 
I LOVE FB - I think I only have a few Cheffer friends though...
