FB’s police algorithm is pretty subjective. I’ve only been mailed once and that was for reposting something that had already withstood scrutiny. I sometimes wonder if FB jail got access to my SW rap sheet.

Years ago, at the urging of relatives, this Luddite got a Facebook account. I never used it very much. Somehow I got the attention of some ne'er-do-well who decided to hack my account and use it to spread a virus. I deleted my account and I am never going back.

Thinking about a FB account to sell some of the late wife’s nice antique china. None of the kids or grandkids want any as they got what they wanted months ago. Had forgotten about CL.
We had to dispose of both my MIL's belongings and then some of our stuff that we didn't want to move to Texas.
We were surprised at what didn't sell. Dishes and furniture have a very limited market. Clothing even more so. We had to hire a company to clear out MIL's apartment because we had to be out of there by the end of the month.
We tried for months to sell a beautiful dining room set and china cabinet from our house to no avail. Again, no market for it.
Places like Goodwill in our area didn't want furniture. I will say that it seems to be area dependent as when we got to Texas we went to various Goodwill stores and saw things in far more worn condition than what we had trashed for sale.
It was a shame, but it had to go, so it did.

When you post for sale on Craigslist it’s not Gun friendly.
For years in various other places I have added I Trade For Guns.
On CL I have added Trade For Big Boy Toys.
It did work once! One in a row!
Traded a Camera for a 649.

My daughter Whitney is an Occupational Therapist in Dallas and visits children in their homes and we were talking a couple of days ago about what's wrong with kids today. She told me about a visit she just had with one little girl, and the little girl said" I'm so glad to see you because you come and play with me!" Whitney said when does your mommy play with you? The girl thought about it and said "she doesn't, she's always on Instagram.

A Facebook story...
My nephew's house got broken into...when the sheriff came to investigate it was found that the nephew's wife had "posted" on Facbook the previous day: Tomorrow I am going to get my hair done at 9AM, then stop at bank, then get groceries...should be home around 2PM...the sheriff stated "Why did you do that?" You basically told the burglars everything they needed to know and knew your house was an easy mark! Why is it so important to tell the world what you are going to be doing???

Which method I choose to “ move” all the china and furniture will state they have to go to a storage unit in a Very secure facility to look and pick it up. No home address, was not born yesterday. lol.
I've been on FB mass years, also have a X account, and TicToc.
Had a few posted deleted, but never been banned on FB yet. Lot of cool groups on FB...S&W, Vintage Firearms, Retro AR's, 22 Firearm Owners, Harley Groups, and my favorite Stuck on St. Augustine Beach. Others take pics of people with their trucks and cars buried in the sand. Sold and bought a few things on Market Place too.
My mom is 88 and is addicted to FB.

Unfortunately I pretty much got caught up on my Facebook yesterday. Extended waiting time at the Ortho's office. By the way, cortisone shots in the wrist area hurt.
Plus I need to rethink something. I'm right handed and I now have a wrist brace on my right hand that makes holding a handgun in my right hand impossible. I'm confident I could shoot my little Hellcat left handed sufficiently for common realistic self defence ranges, but I have no left handed holsters and a major clumbsy factor getting it out left handed. At this point it would be a "retrieve with fingers of right hand and then transfer to left." Several extra steps there.
I have an old leather J frame IWB clip on (Bianchi #5CL) I used to wear about 4:00 with the grip forward, a method I decided I didn't like. Trying it AIWB leftie I guess it works but I'd need a lot of practice. Then there's the 5 shot thing and reloading with strips I couldn't retrieve with my rignt hand from a pocket.
Oh yeah, we were talking Facebook, sorry! When waiting in a doctors office some of those Facebook "Reels" can be interesting. I like the surfing and boat Reels and some of the wing suite ones and some of the STOL aircraft Reels. Although it's getting much harder to tell which are fake.

As with FB and all the social media accounts I wade into I am at least as smart as a cow.
I swallow the hay and spit out the sticks.
