There is a lady I know slightly who is my Facebook friend – well her friend had gone to the hospital and left her dogs at my FB friends house. She told as her FB status that one of the dogs had 4 puppies – one died and one was tiny and not latching on so I offered to go and help (being a dog breeder myself).
By the time I got there the pup was cold to the core, silent and didn’t have the energy to latch on. I stomach tubed him warm milk (puppy milk powder I had on hand) and shoved him down my shirt for 20 minutes to warm him up from my body heat – then he had a poop and cried. Music to my ears! By the time I left he was able to latch on to his mother. My daughter came along and took care of the umbilical cords for all three pups and helped pass things and clean up.
We both came home feeling like puppy heroes. 8) 8)

You let a dog take a crap down your shirt? :o
-
Yes, and would do it again if necessary.
The dog was only 3" long and just born a few hours previously so it was just baby poo.
I am hoping that the little guy survived the night.

Amazing story, Diane. My mother used to breed Pyrenean Mountain dogs but I only took an interest in them when they got to the cute stage. I stayed well away from the messy process.
-
I didn't know your mother bred dogs Roger - that must have been a fun breed to grow up with.
This mother dog was a tiny little dog, mixed breed about 10lbs - the little fella made it through the night so he will probably make it now. :)
Another thing that happened in real life because of FB was last week I bought a 30+ year old jade plant - which is awesome - looks like something from Dr. Seus.
-
Will you be sticking the Jade Plant down your shirt, Diane?

Only if the electricity goes out - not just for fun.

I read that as "used to breast feed Pyrenean Mountain dogs" for a moment. Must be my age.

How tall does a dog need to be before it's classed as a mountain?

Oh my, that was clever. ;D

I found it a bit forced. 8)

I just thought it would have to be a Dolomite-tion. <-

For some reason it irks me that "facebook" and "heroes" have been shotgun wed in this topic.

I take it I'm not the only one that doesn't do facebook then, Mince? :-\

It's the best way of keeping in touch and sharing the internet, with family, friends, business contacts even, who are spread not just all over the UK, but the world too. For me that includes countries as diverse as Nepal, Burma, Australia, India, and even Canada.
I have fast growing Facebook Pages associated with my business areas, and interests - and they work fantastically well. I see far more of most members on this forum on Facebook than on here, and enter into some entertaining threads.
It's like a forum, but with much more besides.
Here's my Isle of Bute page, (with over 750 followers!) http://www.facebook.com/IsleOfBute (http://www.facebook.com/IsleOfBute)
My Philippine Trails page: (over 325 folowers already) http://www.facebook.com/PhilippineTrails (http://www.facebook.com/PhilippineTrails)
My Holiday Trails page (just 200 followers) http://www.facebook.com/HolidayTrails (http://www.facebook.com/HolidayTrails)
And my own private page - http://www.facebook.com/nigel.sutherland (http://www.facebook.com/nigel.sutherland)
I get lots of work from Facebook, and am in touch with lots of contacts useful to me. I find it better than LinkedIn.

Yes, like Peeps has implied, you need friends and 'A LIFE' for FaceBook to work. (Just saying.... no offence!)

Actually, I would say it's the other way round.
Facebook should come with a reminder: "No, you are not the centre of the universe."

How does this apply to having friends and a life? When you're with people, each of you at some time or other, IS the centre of that particular universe, that's why people gravitate around you. :P

Nonsense.
1. The Isle of Bute...750 followers...that place could never generate that amount of interest. The Island holds 23.5 people, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a couple of palm trees...and Zavaroni's if it's still there. (and Loch Fad, the only Loch with no fish. This is a fact. I've been.)
2. Philippines Trails...325 followers... all hoping for the odd pic of a beach babe no doubt.
3. Holiday Trails...200 followers...see No.2 above.
Facebook? Bah humbug.
>:(

Actually, I was with twin brother, Paul, and Lucy in a Deal pub a week or so ago, and we were sitting around a table, all social networking on our respective hand-held devices, making minimal conversation with each other, apart from the occasional "is it my round"? The irony was not lost on us.
There is good and bad in such things.
You should maybe try it for a week or so, Mince. It's so simple...
1) Make some friends.
2) Join Facebook

I did better than that. I made friends and didn't join Facebook.

They're missing out 3 and 4.
3. Gossip about friends on Facebook and fall out.
4. Wonder why you bothered.
Seems to be what I hear about Facebook.

Title change: Facebook people who tried.
The pup didn't make it. :(

Awwww

I think the purpose of FaceBook is numbers; the rest of my family have hundreds of 'friends' each while I have 14. Nine are children and grandchildren and the rest are good friends. I have no need to gossip. I'm the oldest and I've been there, done that and eaten the pie so I have nothing for anyone to be jealous of. I like to see what the grandchildren get up to (especially the one at uni!) and it's a five/ten minute bit of entertainment during the day. I certainly won't be connecting it to my android and have it connected all day long to keep in touch with a load of other numpties!

Ok...I'll come clean. The pup didn't make it cos the pup didn't try ...ok? And I don't need any "Awwwws" either. So there. >:(
Facebook excites me as much Twitter/Gritter/Shitter...whatever it's called. School"chums" who were pillocks the first time round, are just going to be pillocks who have aged. I don't need Facebook to confirm that.
As for Twitter and Tweets, what the hell is that all about? If I want to follow a celebrity, I'll buy a ski-mask and chloroform and go introduce myself the old-fashioned way.
If you want to find out what's happening in someones life, phone them up and ask. Don't go post-surfing for snippets that may be taken out of context. What happens if you read something you don't want to know?
The way I look at it, the best way to find out what's happening is at funerals. Everyone is gossiping because they haven't seen each other in years and you can gaurantee there's one less person to bore you to tears. Sorted.

Hate to tell you this, but Beau Peep is a lot like FB but on a smaller, more exclusive scale with a higher percentage of numpties who you can’t delete. ;D
-
Numpties are just friends who are...special. ..0

Facebook is clever in that it is everything on the internet, in one place. For many people it works well, and much is shared that people probably wouldn't see otherwise.
Yes, there's plenty of stuff i can do without (games for example), so I don't bother with them - simple as that.
I mainly use it to interact with my family across the the UK and in the Far East, but also businesses, hotels/resorts and various suppliers. Even past happy customers! :-)
Oh, and people like Diane, Malc, and Joan...

woo hoo ;D

The advancement of communication technology in the last twenty years is both astonishing and welcome. The ease with which we can all keep in contact, regardless of where we live in the world, is truly remarkable. I'm in awe of it and totally accept the massive benefits, both socially and commercially. I'm pretty sure you can all sense a "however" coming.....
People now communicate on a global level because they CAN---not because they have anything in particular to say. I have a rule which I pass on to all my friends about "humourous" emails. If, twenty years ago, you'd found something in a newspaper so amusing that you'd go to the trouble to cut it out and post it to me, then fine----that's the level of email quality I'm looking for. I really don't want to see a monkey peeing on a zoo warden just because it's a couple of clicks away.
Let me say again that the internet has changed all our lives in a wonderful way. I don't doubt that for a single second and, obviously, without it, I wouldn't be communicating with you all now----or making the many friends that I have done on this site. I'm just saying that the ability to share every single thought with the world has its drawbacks.
And to those companies who keep emailing me, I'm reasonably content---although, granted, not ecstatic---with the size of the penis I have.

Zoo warden? :o Jeez, those poor animals feel institutionalized already...

My point exactly...I think. ???

I bought book #4 of Herman cartoons on eBay a while back - it arrived with some of the gags neatly cut out - so obviously some people do the old fasioned "cut and mail". :)
I disagree with your opinion about the Zoo Warden – now when he gets peed on by a monkey he thinks – “well at least it will give someone a laugh on Facebook” whereas before he just got peed on for nothing. :o

I just wish they'd get the gender correct; I don't want one at all, let alone a bigger one - it'd ruin the line of my mini skirt!

As a writer, Roger will know... the penis, mightier than the sword.
