I don’t get much in the way of email anymore because I’m a recluse, but of the few I got this week, one was the most useful I have gotten in a very long time. Facebook sent me a reply to my request to have my account that’s been deactivated permanently deleted. I wasn’t shocked that they buried the method to do it myself on their site and then conveniently neglected to tell anyone. That’s one of the reasons I hate Facebook with a burning passion.

I digress. Since they were kind enough to give me the steps to do it myself after weeks of begging them to do it for me since I couldn’t find a method myself, they send them the following, and I’m posting it so the rest of you searching how to delete your account can do it yourselves, too.

1. Log in to your Facebook account.
2. Click the “Help” link at the bottom of any page.
3. Select the “Privacy” link from the “Using Facebook” section of the Help Center.
4. Click the “I want to permanently delete my account” link toward the bottom of the page.

Please keep in mind that once your account is deleted, you will not be able to reactivate the account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added.

You’re welcome, one and all.

Addendum: It will take up to 14 days for the account to be deleted after your follow the above steps. It’s not instantaneous.

Did you all see Dexter last night? How bizarre was that episode? Seriously. Miguel. WTF? Can see the writing on the wall for this season, kids. Really. It all became clear as a bell to me after I thought it all out. Seeing where this is going is going to make rest of the season as much fun as a carnival ride. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I’m at work, otherwise I would blog a luverly photo of my bestie since third grade flipping me the bird over dinner the other night, and a luverly photo of my other bestie looking like a deer caught in headlights. Will upload from my home computer tonight. Oh, yes I will. Don’t think I won’t. Hee.

As with tradition between us besties, we give Christmas gifts to each other whenever we see each other (which is way too infrequent, and that’s mostly my fault). For example, one bestie gave me last years gifts at dinner the other night and I gave a few gifts for this year to them at the same dinner. This is a running gag with us three. It’s no big deal. And we make huge efforts to mail out stuff at Christmas time, but often we run out of ideas before we run out of time or money, so we put it off, and off, and off again till one of us comes up with ideas for the other and then we get crack-a-lackin’. It works for us. Christmas may be but one day for the rest of the world, but for us, it’s freeflowing and not nailed down to just one day or a specific day. We like that a lot. We’re weird non-traditionalists who love doing our own thing in our own time, seperate from the typical hustle and bustle and family obligations every December 25th.

I baked two batches of my favourite Christmas cookie to give to my besties at dinner. They loved them, so now I am obliged to blog the recipe. Without any photos. I forgot all about taking shots of the final cookies before I put them in tins and decorated them with ribbon. Sorry. Please forgive. I will have to make another batch soon to have a photo to go with them. I will see what I can do about blogging the recipe soon so you all have enough time to do some test runs before you make a whole whack of them to give out as gifts this Christmas. You will love them if you don’t have a nut allergy. Trust.

Gotta go for now… I am being paged by Joe on the other side of the room.

Guess what the lovely UPS driver just dropped off?? Oh, yeah, baby! Sweet!!

Bought me some sweet pasta attachments for The Mixinator. They should arrive next week at some point. CanNOT wait. Should be sweet. Can finally get my spinach and carrot pasta grooves on!

Also bought me the Torso Fitting DVD from the Threads magazine store. This will be a huge help. Nothing like professional advice I can access anytime I need it, on demand.
