Interesting thought, Diane . . . how are you imagining this . . . S'cubes joining that fb page you mention? Setting up a Scubie FB page for S'cubies to join. . .? I was thinking in terms of a possible FB page that wouldn't be secret, exactly, but would be closed except by invitation. An awful lot of former S'cubies are already on FB and could be invited to join. Plus, there would be no further costs or annual dues (not that they were ever much of a burden). The costs aren't for the board, they are for the S3 website, with the fanfic and analyses and such. The board is free.
But as you say, the costs aren't that burdensome . . . you're thinking the page would allow the Scubes to continue talking about Btvs or AtS, or other "mutual" shows, it would be more convenient on FB? So if you or I or Matthew or whomever on FB notices something on a BtVS ep we want to talk about, we would put it there (e.g.)? Hmmmm . . . .
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

BA-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ BABIES! Well, one anyway: I'm going to be a grandma! Son and DIL, having bought their condo wasted NO time taking the next step. Since their 3rd anniversary is in April and she is 31 (he's 30) I assumed it might be soonish but still was surprised. 2 of my sister's DILs are also pregnant so big family expansion in 2015! I wouldn't be entirely surprised if elder daughter followed suit later this year. Her Phd classes will be completed in June. Sure, then there is 2-4 more years of research and dissertation writing but she's 32 and Blaine will be 37 in May..... Whoohoo!!! How exciting!!!

Facebook has a number of policies re real names and privacy and monetising your personal details for their profit that some people consider a problem. Myself I just can't get it to work on any of my 3 computers without it crashing them. Plus all my relatives can find me on Facebook so my longstanding inclination to not cross the streams and get my fan self all over my RL self doesn't work so good. Probably there's settings to do something about that, but since I can't get the thing to work, I don't know. it's good if there's communities to join there, but I can't go there to join communities. #wavey#

I think I may have found the next BTVS!
Everybody check out I Zombie on the CW. It's not a zombie kind of zombie, it's a Buffy got scratched and woke up a lucid, educated medical examiner with a tastes for brains and a close relationship with Georgia Lass (Dead Like Me) with a wicked wit.
Best of all it's from the Veronica Mars guys! It's funny, interesting, intelligent.
...and cool.

Will try to keep an eye open for this one, and for The Last Man on Earth that Karen recommended . . . thanks for letting us know how much you are enjoying, that is high praise!

I watched the pilot for Last man on Earth and didn't get sucked in. Haven tried iZombie.
Currently really enjoying The Flash (in the special powers category).
For Firefly Fans, here is a Gospel version of the Ballad of Serenity (intro music for Firely) done by 3 of the main Flash characters:

I have been cleaning and tidying and throwing things away, and I have finally reached the point where I've been through every box in every corner of my flat. I had so much junk! ... I still have so much junk, but it has all passed at least a first glance sort on if I want to keep it.

You can't post a photo from FB without first saving it to your computer. Then you can use the Add Attachment to make a thumbnail, like you did last time (at least, I think that was you . . .)
