Twitter

Hi Folks, do any of you have a Twitter account?

If you want to be a hero...

I'm not much of a techie (technophobe is more like it), so no, I don't have Twitter.

I keep hoping no one will come into the library and ask for help with Twitter. I know nothing about it and so far I've been okay. I should probably figure it out though, just in case. LOL

I need to figure out Instagram and Snapchat; all three of my kids are using it, and I know nothing about them, either. I need to check their security settings.

Those are Greek to me!

Graecum est; non legitur.

And in my grandparents' language: Det är rena grekiskan. My life would be so much easier right now if Swedish wasn't Greek to me!

theres not much to figure out with twitter
you just open an account, and decide who you want to follow (famous people/friends etc)

you can also 'tweet' yourself and post photo's

I tried it but Im not a fan, I 'do' facebook though, Im back in touch with people I grew up with in England so I have a lot to be thankful to f/book for, in fact I have friends in Malta, Texas, LA, France that Im back in touch with, which is wonderful.

I don't have a twitter because I don't know why do I need it. Facebook - that's my choice. I wonder if we should make our forums' facebook account? ))

You should come visit North Dakota, Kelley; lots of folks of Swedish and German descent, and they still use native phrases and bake native dishes. There's a strong sense of familial history here. Many large families who stayed put. I'm a bit envious, actually.

Ooooo Yaaah!

My kids stick out like sore thumbs here when it comes to family backgrounds; they were all born in Virginia and are half-Irish and half-Eastern European (Czech and Lithuanian). Whenever this topic comes up in a class they are always the only ones with those nationalities. My son came home last month and said he was the only one in his class with no German or Swedish heritage. Most people (esp. kids) haven't even heard of Lithuania, so they always get grilled about that one.

My step daughter is English-Czech. it's a good combination.

It's good for those other kids to learn about different ethnic background. And hey...I'm part Irish too! But the Swedish side of me sure takes a beating sometimes. Our annual yard sale, which funds the children's programming, was today and last year I forgot the sunscreen. Of course I got really burned. This year I put on a lot of sunscreen and still got burned. Next year I'll help set up but I'm going in and getting some work done between 11:00 and three!

My maternal and paternal grandparents immigrated to the US from the Ukraine after the Russian Revolution.
