    Chantal saying she reconnected Nader’s phone service so he could communicate with family makes no sense. Whatsapp and fb messenger don’t require a phone plan. He could just use any old phone on WiFi

    I mention facts involving METX 210 and I to someone on Facebook Messenger to help him/her see that our story is no fluke, and get laughs as responses. That only tells me that the cocky, smallminded ************ DOESN'T want to understand something that he/she doesn't understand!

  • DizzyDees DizzyDee (@DizzyDees) reported

    Thank you everyone for the kind words, I am devastated. In my Daughter in laws defense she did try calling. I live in a very remote area and my service is touchy. But the Facebook messenger always works, I don't know why. That is the only way she could tell me.

    Hey all, using Lent as an excuse to try and cut way down on social media, so I shouldn’t be on here much. If you need to get in touch, please email me or find me on Facebook messenger!

    @dickadillas What I did in Peru when my card was getting declined. I would send money through fb messenger or even PayPal to someone I knew and then they would take out the cash for me. Not sure if this will help.

    @PureGym any chance of a response on either Twitter, Facebook Messenger or through email? I’ve been trying to change my membership since Monday and still nothing has been changed! Such a good gym is let down by poor customer service!

    Why haven't I been using the @opera browser now for years? You ever switch back and forth between videos and browser tabs to do things? Not anymore. Do business through Facebook messenger but don't want to get sucked into scroll feed? No problem. + Workspaces. It's so good.
