Oh okay, that messenger. Got you. I use a Tracfone, and use my phone very little. I bought a 1 year card of minutes, that if not used up, roll over so long as you keep your service. I did that 3 years in a row.... then spotted the 1 year service card, that extends minutes monthly minutes for 1 year OR extends your 1 year minutes for an extra year, for just $49. Wow. So, I've only bought the $49 card for the last 5 years or so, just extending the minutes I had saved up, rolled over. I switched to a smartphone 3 or so years ago, and when I did that, the minutes I had, over 2,000 of them, were tripled, plus got triple texts & data. So I had over 6,000 minutes, 6,000 texts & 6 gigs of data. Now I just continue to buy the $49 one year service card. Minutes will probably last me the rest of my life, LOL, for just $49 a year. Not bad for an emergency phone, or away from home and need to make a call... or the power is out. That's about the only time I ever use it.

Like you, I'm very private on things. I do not have, nor want, a FB account. I'm a member of many forums, but not FB. I even have my own private forum that Red and I and another friend of ours, (she's Light in Seekers), put together to go with the club on Xbox. I made the forum for just a few of us, to be able to share more, game screen shots, pets, etc. Totally private. Google can't find it or any posts in it. AND. ProBoards does not share it's users emails or anything else. The owner is totally against that. He too refuses to use FB due to the exploiting of it's users. All revenue comes from ads & from users monthly memberships (if they want to have no ads). That is the their only revenue. No selling it's members 'stuff'.

Xbox, the App is already in your Windows 8 & Windows 10. I don't use the Xbox machine. It's the built in Windows Xbox app that we use. Very handy. Clubs can be public, private or hidden. Has PM messaging and club notifications of posts, that show up in the Windows notification in bottom right corner of screen. All built in. Just log in with a windows email account. The app works on Android & Apple phones also. Is in their app stores.

Thanks again, and yes, feel free to pass my Seekers code to Helen & Kathryn. I'm sure Red would also like to have them for friends. Last I looked, Red still only had 84 or so friends, so has plenty of room, plus her TTing extra gifts. Light has 109 friends, so she's got all she can handle. She 'now' knows how to TT, has done it, but isn't using it for splurging gifts, just to give the gifts to her extra 9 friends over her 100 limit or send extras to friends in need, like extra collection pieces.

Okay, got to go get a few things done. Many thanks to you. You are a 'wunerful' friend here. ^_^
