Possibly Interesting Stuff You Can Learn on Facebook When Not Preparing for Carpet

Without any missionaries out, I am no longer a consistent emailer. I apologize.

I have a post coming all about prepping for new carpet. It will be very exciting. Ha ha! You just caught me guile! But it will have pictures, when my DropBox finishes updating.

In the meantime, I will share about something I found interesting but probably isn't.

The other day, when I was not prepping for carpet, I was looking for and at some Facebook posts of fellow Taiwan Taichung Mission missionaries. Uninterestingly, I find most FB posts uninteresting. You can learn what someone ate for breakfast. You can learn that someone appreciates their spouse or child or parent on their birthday. You can learn that someone went somewhere besides their backyard. You can learn that someone went in their backyard. 

I stay away from the toxic stuff, so what I see is often good. I'm happy to see good news. I sorrow for those with bad news. But, it usually isn't terribly interesting.

But, every once in awhile you learn something like: a friend of yours from your mission is a regular TV talking head about diplomacy in China and the Middle East. I rarely watch the news, so I had no idea. Way to go, Steve Yates!

In this screenshot, I am pretty sure Neil Cavato is asking Steve if he knows me. Neil is jealous. But, Neil professionally jumps right over to the G20 summit rather than engage in a competition about who knows more whos. 

(If Neil did ask that question, I think Steve's response would be "kinda".)

Do you know what I DO find interesting about FB but is a complete waste of time? Seeing friends or "friends of friends" that have a mutual friend I didn't expect. I don't know why I find that interesting.

Though not necessarily interesting, my Uncle Lynn recently posted something that I thought was worth passing on, from BillyCox.com:

Love to y'all!
