Honestly, the only reason we have a Facebook page is so I can share the Pic Of The Moment, and also have a way to give out emergency info if something goes wrong with DU.

The idea of trying to turn it into a useful discussion space really does not appeal to me. That's what the actual DU is for.

Something about not wanting to deal with a "cesspool".

I'm only keeping Facebook for the 'Americans Retiring In France', 'Living In France', and my old neighborhood back in Philadelphia groups. I also follow Peter Turnley, the photographer, because he's such an inspiration.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
