This one was shared in the Australian Cymbidium group on Facebook I received an invitation from the Administrator to join,and accepted it People are so much nicer in Australia They made me feel welcome in that group

Sylvia said you texted her last week(about one of your FB groups)She took care of that Maybe it was a good idea keeping my account setting Friends Only,and not accepting friend requests In May my TwitteX account will be 10 years old I'm keeping my little space on the internet until then

I told Sylvia D,and Tracy S Mine is friends only My Meta skills would be graded a strong D- Anything else I could do,cut through social media nonsense,and text me, please 🙏 Mahalo 😘
