shirley/// when you are in facebook, search under azspouse....that will bring you to the group...then you request to join, and the moderator will add you to the group....I cannot remember who the moderator is....sorry...
Yes, if you go to the alzspouse page on facebook and request to join, the request comes to me and I fill it when i can. However, please remember, everyone, that THIS is the appropriate forum (not facebook) for questions about the disease and your relationship to it and your spouse. The facebook page, since it's closed, MAY be a bit more secure for privacy but since I don't know most of you by your REAL names, I could let in a "ringer" without knowing it. I also don't police it at all; if there are inappropriate comments, I don't know to deal with them unless someone alerts me (clare@briegull.com).
Clare, I too love the site and thank you for starting it. I have a question for you, hope you don't mind. I noticed tonight that someone other than you added someone to the site. I didn't know that was possible....not that I object to having more members, but I did like the fact that is was spouses from here at Joan's. I have been wanting to write about something I don't want to write here in case the wrong eyes see it... and now I am not sure I should post it on FB either. Can you clear that up for me please and thank you ♥
Facebook changes stuff frequently. I just checked and found that the option that only the administrator could add people had been UNCHECKED. I have now changed it back so that only I (or my successor?) can let people in and I will ask everyone to tell me their name on Joan's site before I admit them.
THIS SITE SHOULD BE FOR SPOUSES ONLY, and for semi-OFF TOPIC discussions only. If we start talking about "how do I?" we are not giving the newbies who stumble upon Joan's site the benefit of our collective wisdom.
I'm serious that if anyone wants to take over admin of this, please let me know. I'm in the AFTER stage and am not really interested in participating too much in the BEFORE stage any more!! Love, C.
