<![CDATA[Remembering Zorba]]>Zorba was a long time member of these communities and I'm pretty sure almost all of you remember him.

But, to refresh your memory, he is a male belly dancer (keeping it real) and his unofficial motto was **** Facebook.

Well, I resisted signing up for Facebook until today.

I want to use Facebook MP.

It took me two days. I first downloaded the app yesterday. It wouldn't let me complete an account set up.

Today, it wouldn't let me complete an account set up.

Third time's the charm because I immediately started again and was successful.

I remember Zorba as being unusual and thought the bluntness of his "tell me what you really think" opinion about Facebook was refreshing.

Btw, I run into these software quagmires all the time. I think that this kind of software protocol has become overly complicated. I don't know why. My advice, if you have the same problem, is just keep trying.

I ran into Zorba on the Victorian Sweatshop Forum a year or so ago. It's a forum for antique and vintage sewing machine aficionados. https://www.victoriansweatshop.com/

I found Zorba's sewing machine page a number of years ago when I was looking for info on a Reversew machine...
