Facebook disabled my account

On Wednesday, March 10th I received notification that my Facebook account was disabled. There was no reason given. No explanations, no email, nothing.

Rather unsocial for a social network!?

I’m still trying to find out why – All I can figure is that I was adding friends too quickly? Maybe it was my having too many friends, being too active, running so many Fan Pages and groups? Not certain still awaiting word – and hopefully be reactivated?

I’m taking it in stride, however it seems some of my “friends” are panicking:

“I miss your daily listing updates!” one emailed me.

“Where are you birthday greetings?” wrote another.

“Just open up another account?” another advised.

I suppose I could do that. Just use a different e-mail address, (everyone knows I have thousands at my disposal!) Then I could reconnect with friends, family, classmates, clients and business associates, but with over 3000 already set up – that would take time – therefore I’ll just be patient and await word.

It is rather sad though – on Wednesday it was my Father’s 66th B-day and I was trying to get some of the relatives to contact him – those that I don’t have email or phone # for. Facebook is a great way to keep up those communications as well. Also, my wife, Carolyn, finally set up an account – but I lost mine

Rather Ironic…

I sent Facebook an email (disabled@facebook.com & appeals@facebook.com) – but I realize that I am only one of 30 million plus visitors they must have, additionally Facebook certainly has its hands full, with the phishing scams and accounts being hacked, etc.

Some who’ve been through the same experience were still waiting for Facebook’s reply weeks after they made original contact.

As I’ve repeatedly pointed out, networking is a must for everyone and social media sources like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others make this possible.

After what happened with my Facebook account, I still think that FaceBook is an incredible useful tool. If they could fix the glitches on their scripts and system, they would be so much better. I’m hopeful that they will restore my Facebook account after reviewing my account. But right now, all I can do is wait for their reply and hope for the best. So it may be a while before I am back – Oh well, if they don’t get to me immediately it is understood…

Interior Decorator or Designer

Just a note to pass along some general real estate information you might find helpful.

One of the questions I am frequently asked is, “What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?”

Interior designers are professionally trained in the functionality, efficiency, and safety of a space, as well as the aesthetics or “look” of a room. This is different from an interior decorator, who works with surface decoration, such as color, texture, and pattern.

Before hiring a decorator or designer, ask yourself these questions:

* For whom is the space being designed?
* What activities will take place there?
* How long do I plan to live here?
* What is my time frame?
* What is my budget?

Answering these questions should help you decide whether to hire a decorator or designer–or do it yourself!

Happy Groundhog Day

Well, Punxsutawney Phil emerged to make his yearly Groundhog Day prediction in Gobblers Knob.

“As the sky shines bright above me, my shadow I see beside me, six more weeks of winter it will be,” announced his handlers, dampening the hopes of an early spring.

Oh well – hopefully they will be mild.

Plus, It is only 47 days until the first Official Day of Spring!
