Facebook Suspension, Catch-22. 

When I tried to log on to FB this morning, they gave me a big popup: "We suspended your account." When I clicked on Why, they said: "We don't allow people on Facebook to pretend to be a business." OK, that was obviously not my transgression, so I clicked Appeal. They wanted my mobile number, so I gave it to them. Then I clicked Send Me A Code. They said: "Code not sent. Try again later or use a different mobile number." I tried both, but no dice. Hmm.

UPDATE: FB apologized, following my Appeal, and I'm back, after being forced to (1) download Meta's Facebook app onto my phone, (2) download Meta's WhatsApp app onto my phone, (3) record a video selfie for WhatsApp, and (4) take a photo of my driver license for WhatsApp. But before reinstating me, they felt like they had to issue a threat:

Stop FB Hacks/Clones/Trolls!

Seizure World POW camp. 

When an email blast announced that our Main Gate (1 of 3) was closing for nearly 5 days, very few residents paid attention. Plus, now that the snowbirds are gone, many of the main drags inside our 960-acre (388-hectare), 55+ community are dug up for repaving, so it's like driving through a war zone. Even though we've all been given maps+dates of the reconstruction, the oldsters can't figure them out, or rely on their usual shortcuts anymore. Plus, using a GPS often leads to street blockages. The ensuing confusion has been quite entertaining. Yep, it's one helluva show, which led to the following exchange in our Google group...

This may sound stupid, but how do I get help to read the map that shows how to escape from this place on a daily basis?!

LOL! Sorry, there is none. You'll have to dig your own tunnel. 😉
