1. When you get heavy rains, do you get floods in your home or on your street?

2. What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

3. Do you light candles at home and what is your favorite scent?

I'm not sure why I need a round of applause because I use a tool, but okay.

Who knew sharing calendars was so complicated?

Who knew that people actually did that and couldn't just talk to one another instead of relying on technology.

See...there is an example, dinner together.  This is not rocket science.

Unbelievable that "I" had to give an example and no one else could. On top of it, I couldn't imagine syncing her calendar to see when a good time would be. I simple called and asked. SMH

DS soccer season has begun so we share dates/times of practices and of games etc. Maybe even directions, like to tomorrow's game as example, I don't see what's so difficult about sharing examples either Molly, Lol. 

Yep and a simple text, phone call or message would suffice, at least IME.

I really don't get the whole purpose of knowing the detais of my family or their schedule unless it was pertinent to me too, Like my sister who babysits for her kid's son. And we are close. 

I don't get it either.

Facebook wouldn't work, most of my family isn't on facebook and some don't have email, lol!  A bunch of the family was together a couple of weekends ago, we all got out our calendars to plan another get together soon.  This is not rocket science.

I know people who don't have fb either or even texting capabilities. What you just said is EXACTLY what I have speaking about ALL DAY. Sigh.....

You just couldn't give ONE example.

There are all kinds of socials coming up with the new school year starting this next week and the week after.  Texting isn't how we communicate that. 

I don't get why a simple phone call just won't work anymore for some people.

No one needs to.  Sometimes it is more convenient.

If someone has the time to waste on messageboards, games and other social media things, you have time to pick up the phone and call someone.

First of all, I already said that they do NOT all use electronic calendars.  If they did, it would be easier.   If I am setting a date for a dinner party, and not trying to make a date where all the people the guest of honor wants there, I will just pick a date and send out invitations.  In this case, my son would really like all his aunts, uncles, and cousins to be able to attend his going away party.  So I am trying to get the date that is most convenient for all nine people.  It has taken multiple phone calls, and we are not there yet.  If I could sync everyone's calendar, it would be much easier.

Personally, I would never allow someone to do that on my calendar (if I used it). I would rather have them call me and ask then intrude into my personal space.

And yet, sometimes syncing calendars is more convenient than multiple phone calls.  It just is.
