There are times where I go through and delete or deactivate pages or whatnot from FB to simplify my online presence, but then I get an idea about something and I start new things. I have done, that, but, now have gone back to simple.  I am now Minister Elizabeth, as my professional presence, and the other is still Tamara Chaos, for fun and whatnot. I do believe that the time is right for this. And since I have eliminated the others, it should not get too overwhelming.  When I record my new podcast, I will post short clips to my Minister Elizabeth Instagram account.  Overall, yes, I still hate social media, but with the increasing availability of Ai and the more my passwords work, then that is when I do like it.  I do wonder though, what my life would be like if I did not have social media. I could try a vacation from it, since I really will only be posting Bible stuff now. You know, like on my Tamara Chaos page, no one really interacts with the Bible stuff, but...

So I went to Lordsbook.com on my PC and there in settings was the setting that I was told and where I could delete my account. Why they don't have that on the mobile app I don't know- it might be something that they want to consider in the future.. One thing I did like about this platform is that at the top of my timeline was a scripture, but what I didn't like is that there was no reference to where the scripture was found. There was also one spelling mistake that was never changed even though I pointed it out. This is not a big deal I'm just saying things that I didn't like about it. What I did really like is that the reactions had like prayer hands and a Bible stuff like that so that was cool, but just like every other platform people only use those things if at all and don't use any words. I suppose it would be handy in the future for social media platforms to have in the comment section different sentences, rather than emojis that people who are hurried can...

So a while ago I signed up for a social media site called Lord's Book. I always try these different social media sites to see what they're like, but it always ends up to be the same. Now the problem I'm having is that it allowed me out and I can't log in - it claims that my password is incorrect, but I know it's correct because it's the only password I've used so far and I had it automatically stored. It's just annoying. They are supposed to send me a code so that I can log in and change my password but I have yet to receive this code even though it's been over 15 minutes now. So as soon as I can get in I'm going to delete my account. I have already emailed them my lament and that they can delete my account. This social media isn't much different than all the others where people don't really have time for it and so they don't really interact. I think a lot of it has to do with my content - they're just not interested in it. They w...

I have contacted Lord's book.com once again to have them delete my account because I could not find it in settings after I was finally able to log in after receiving the code- I received the code that I requested 24 hours before and the one I requested now at the same time.. I'm not interested in this headache. I don't get on social media to deal with this crap. So while it was a nice idea it's the same as others no response from people who are following me. What's strange is that most of the people that were following me were men and they did not even interact with me at all. I don't understand how people can just look and not respond to Bible posts. So that's okay I tried social media and it is not for me. So while I do enjoy posting pictures on Instagram, I will eventually have to figure out something else. I suppose it's possible that I end up paying for storage and then I can post pictures on here.  Anyway still and I lead worship today. Part of me ...

Today I had such a problem with passwords. It seems like I got logged out of a lot of accounts and so over time I have been relogging in. It's been a pain. We did not film today, but that's okay- since I woke up at 3:00 a.m., I was too tired to do it anyway.. and all the stress with the passwords didn't help at all. I also deleted venmo since I really, really don't need it and I don't want them having access to my checking account if I'm not really using it. I have plans to eventually close my PayPal account. I have been on PayPal since 2007 or maybe 2008 something like that, so I mean I do have quite a history, but it just seems like I don't really need it anymore. And this is another account that has access to my checking account and so I don't want it to anymore. So once my money transfers to my account I will delete my account.  I'm really fed up with Snapchat too but, I might still keep that one. I wish that Raylee would answer me but I guess be...

You wanna know why I hate social media? I have put myself into a situation where everything is complicated. So, if the day ever comes I need to get rid of it, I don't think I'll mind. If I could do it now I would. However, I will admit it's pretty cool that my bird video has 9.9 thousand views. That's incredible. I wonder what will happen when I post the deer?  But it's always something that triggers these feelings. I couldn't post to mewe and didn't see an update button, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Then it wouldn't accept my password, so I had to have them send me a link, which went to my Yahoo account. Yahoo wouldn't let me log in.. So they would send a code since I have two step verification, but it wouldn't come. Finally the code came and it would not accept it, so I had to keep trying. Finally it worked and I was able to reset my mewe password. I just hate social media. It's useless anyway. It's not like I really have any relat...

I've still been continuing my migration away from mainstream social media. I've been going through mewe and deleting all my posts that I've ever made. I was reminded that Elijah would lock my door and say I lock it! And Isabelle would refer to her toenails as feet nails. Lol.  I have posted links to my blog and YouTube on MEWE in case anyone wants to check them out, but I'm not worried if they do or not. Many people are too busy, and so, as the same, sometimes I'm too busy too. My main complaint is that every time I do check social media, nothing has changed. It's best to not check often. If I post something, there is very little interaction except an emoji. So, I have decided that there are other things I would rather be doing than trying to do something that's never going to happen for me. Because I have borderline personality disorder and ADD, it's always going to be hard for me to relate to a majority of people. Thank God I have Phil. We get along gr...

It seems like more and more people are leaving social media. I think it would be really fun to ask people their reasons for doing so. I know for me, it's too much work for very little return. I know, I know, it's all about spreading the gospel, I agree,  💯 percent, but there are only so many hours in the day. I would much rather spend the time doing quality work then frantically posting here, there and everywhere like a Dr. Suess story.  I will not post to Twitter with a mouse I will not post to Twitter in a house. Haha, because I don't have Twitter anymore.  I have kept Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, MEWE and I've joined Threads. I post my Bible messages. I've also kept YouTube because my videos are very important to me.  MEWE is changing to a new platform so I'll have to see how that is going to work out.  I love this blog. It's too hard to keep up with everyone's posts if they are not going to do the same for me. I know it's hard. I know. I have ...

I have been posting to social media lately, but it was nice to take a break. I've been using it mostly to post scriptures. I'm trying to be better about posting scripture more frequently so that my profile doesn't look weird. I don't like it when scriptures are only scattered here and there.  So anyway, I've been working on the script for my upcoming movie called Reconciliation. I really like the script. There isn't much dialogue, at least for now, but sometimes I think of things to say after a video is posted, so, I'm glad I'm working on this early. If I think of things to add, I can add it later.  I think social media is so busy it's hard, if not impossible, to keep up with everyone. The popular ones are always going to take over. But that's ok, being popular and having interaction isn't my goal, I just want to practice my skills. For this, this blog, serves as a place to put my thoughts.  I'm going to need to get ready soon for the chi...

As far as text messages go, I myself have always considered them the same as in person conversations, but evidently, I am quite alone in my thinking. Now, I am not so insecure that I expect people to respond to my texts within a minute or two, but a week or two later is a little odd to me. If I walked up to someone in person and they said something to me, would I respond back in person a week later? But this is society now. If they don't understand the text, rather than asking for clarification, they just ignore it. I think they think since they are not in your presence, they can get away with things a lot more than they can in person. It is especially prevelant on Facebook, because people can just click "like" and go on their merry way, choosing to not engage. Society has become rather introverted. I am an introvert myself, but I also deeply care about others. I remember when I worked at Target in Durham, NC, often people would want to come to my lane and they comment...
