Yes. I may have to do that on my FB at least with this one person. I
sometimes go on there in the afternoon but just to see if I have any
messages. The dance studio tends to communicate via FB. But I am generally
only on there for a minute or so. And this guy starts up a conversation
with me then. I have told him time and again that I just usually do not
have time to talk then because we have to leave for dance. But he seems not
to get it.
