FW: self portrait from my web tracfone...

...if it works. Does not show to me here. Eats up too many minutes but a good taste!

Trouble with Facebook
Humph! Cannot sign in to Facebook because I tried to access it through my new
little web enabled Tracfone. I was told then I had to log in via a computer
since they thought I was suspicious. So here I am at the library's computer.
FB gave me a series of questions to answer. I had to identify people in groups
of pictures. It was not clear at first that it was the set I was to identify.
Who was that child in the sweatshirt covering up its face? I knew the next pic
but had not understood yet that I was to id the whole set. Ok got through that
somehow. One is allowed only 3 skips I think. I think I skipped twice. And one
can easily get served pics of people (their family photos - very hard to see)
one hardly knows.

Next I had to verify from the 3 recent logins which ones were my valid login.
Since one was from the mobile I had no idea where it was actually emitting from.
Since these things bounce all around the world, I also did not know if the time
was correct. Certainly I'd tried from a mobile, but later and not from North
Carolina! I suppose I could go back and say that was not me - but if it really
was me, then it will not accept the new tracfone. Well I suppose better
something than nothing....I'll have another go. Aiyyy!

If I completely disappear from Facebook, this would be why.

testing tracfone web browser posting
I'm writing from web mail via this tracfone that has a camera and does the web. Minutes are dear tho. I got it because of being without regular phone still. Excuse to experiment too.
