Who am I? I have a happy little existence with my husband, my large yellow lab & my two kittens. My dog is 100 lbs of bouncy joy. My male cat is addicted to "Greenies", catnip & thinks he's a dog. My female cat looks like a sweet housecat, but is a serial killer.
I took up fencing after I turned 40 & wanted to find a sport that would keep me active and fit into my old age.
I spend my time coaching beginners, training, & working at our vintage autosound business.
Note: Some of my blog entries are only available to my "Blog Buddies". They are either private in nature or about coaching. I make my coaching entries private becuase public entries can be read by the general public. While I never use names, the descriptions of the events can reveal information and I want to respect the privacy of my students. If you would like to be on my list, please PM me and I will add you.
I'm still getting used to the new changes in f-net. I can see some of the social groups being interesting places to have more private discussions with like-minded people.
I'm grateful the initial flurry of people suddenly wanting to be my "friend" died down. I don't have a problem with friendships or even casual acquaintances being listed as my friend. Where the issue lies with me, is I have been using my buddy list as a filter for my personal blog entries.
I do this because I often discuss people I know (family, students etc...) as a means of either venting, sharing or soliciting advice from people on this forum who know me and I know well enough to value their opinion.
Right now, friends and contacts appear to have no access to my blog, but people who were on my buddy list still do. I expect this will change, the buddy list is part of the old design and with the current set-up it can't be modified. Until I know what's happening, I am only accepting friendship requests from people that are already on my buddy list.
I like being able to go to my control panel and seeing new messages either from my wall board, PM, rep or album comments. I really wish messages in my social groups were there as well.
Overall, I like the changes. I love having new changes to play with.
