I don&#8217;t pay much attention to Facebook, but the links from my blog posts do appear there. Evidently, when you sign up, Facebook asks for your birthdate. I must have joined some time ago before all the identity and security stuff became important. I entered the date as requested. Some folks must sign up for a special &#8220;birthday&#8221; service because they knew  and wrote on my wall. Everytime someone writes on my wall I get an email. Yesterday I had many well wishers. Not much in the way of original prose, but I appreciated every &#8220;happy birthday&#8221; on the wall and the other messages.<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.learningaloud.com\/curmudgeonspeaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/birthday2010.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115\" title=\"birthday2010\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.learningaloud.com\/curmudgeonspeaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/birthday2010.jpg?resize=432%2C609\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.learningaloud.com\/curmudgeonspeaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/birthday2010.jpg?w=432&amp;ssl=1 432w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.learningaloud.com\/curmudgeonspeaks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/birthday2010.jpg?resize=212%2C300&amp;ssl=1 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a>P.S.
