My daughter thought it was me when I showed her, I don't know how I can find out about it. I feel letdown with the gift shop there I ordered something there and was promised it to be in the UK by the time I got home, I have been home a week and still no package, I emailed the hotel but was told the shop was nothing to do with them.<br />Once again thanks for a lovely day there I appreciated you taking the time to come and meet us.<br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-56984326760112957092012-03-04T03:53:38.155-08:002012-03-04T03:53:38.155-08:00I feel exactly the same.

Seems easier to scroll through a short tweet list (tweet roll?) and click on what I'm interested in than it is with a long blog roll. And yes, it's easy to block someone and somehow less offensive than a FB block (I could be wrong about that!). I joined when I learned that several folks in my publishers sales conference were "live tweeting" and naturally I wanted to know what was said about my book when it was presented. That was great fun and I felt like I got to participate 'live' by responding to the tweets. Lately I've been following #AWP12 to learn what's going on at the AWP conference in Chicago and that's been lots of fun too. I may be one of those that quickly converts to Twitter as my main social media--especially since a tweet can post instantly to your FB page but the opposite is not true.<br />And yes...now I'm a follower of yours too!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031358252817150321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-4319659613729224992012-03-02T18:27:45.642-08:002012-03-02T18:27:45.642-08:00Like all other social media, Twitter is what you m...Like all other social media, Twitter is what you make of it.<br /><br />I use it to chat with my blog friends, pick up links, post links, increase my blog audience---I was much more lost than you are when I began, which was two years ago---I let it lie around, but when I did begin to understand it, it became useful.<br /><br />I'd say hang around for a while, and let your considerable blog following find you on twitter.<br /><br /> You are a people's person (at least you seem so online) and you'll soon be chirping and tweeting with the best of them :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283371140346602856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73324117507511430952012-03-02T17:43:50.255-08:002012-03-02T17:43:50.255-08:00I still don't "get" twitter, but it ...I still don't "get" twitter, but it works.

(We can write secret messages in Swedish to each other.) So I thought I'd take the plunge and give A to Z a try.<br /><br />I must admit that I use twitter mostly to announce when I have curated a new Etsy treasury list. But I am not promoting my own products; I am promoting items that I admire or feel that they fit well into a theme or season.<br /><br />Thanks for the welcome. It warms the heart!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />AnnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-30483510075629262242012-03-02T12:06:54.172-08:002012-03-02T12:06:54.172-08:00Twitter takes a hell of a long time to master.
