I am one of five children. I have kids and three of my siblings have kids; my oldest brother has five who are now all grown with families of their own. Needless to say we have a large family and they have many commitments over the holidays. But we do love to get together, to laugh, eat and catchup.
This year I saved time by inviting everyone to our gathering via Facebook. My family, like many are very busy on Facebook. Instead of the chain of phone calls that I used to have to make, and hope that the information gets through to everyone, I logged on and clicked keys. I got the word out to those who need to know very quickly.
I didn't use the sophisticated Group Invite thing, too much time to figure that out. And I tried that once for a book club group and set it up wrong and we got more people wanting to come to our book club than were members (I wonder if those interlopers are still waiting for the club to get started). No, I just used cut and paste and posted to the walls that needed to know. And I did all of my inviting work through my BlackBerry, didn't even need to fire up the laptop. It was great!
Ahh, life is so much simpler now. If only I had a robot to make my home-made lasagna and special ribs for our event. Well actually I like doing the making of the food. It is the cleaning up of the making of the food that I would use the robot for.
