Look who listened to the Steeleworkers! This little message is occasionally popping up on the Facebook mobile app. 
The social media behemoth finally admitted there is a problem and is making users aware of how to fix the problem on iOS and Android systems. Here are a few other data/battery vampires lurking in your settings besides Facebook video:
- Background app refresh
- Location
- Bluetooth
- Wi-Fi
- Data roaming
Pretty much any app on your phone is going to suck up some of your data and/or battery life. Best practice is to take care of the 6 above and that will solve a lot of your problems. Last but not least, do a little spring cleaning (OK, fall) on your device and delete the apps you no longer use, the videos you no longer watch, and the music you no longer like.

Have a great weekend. If we don’t wash away in south Texas, I’ll see you Monday morning,

Long story – the short version is I had two Google+ accounts and tried to merge them earlier this week – that failed miserably. (Larry, Sergey, Eric, anyone?) The good news is I have only one Google+ account (that I know of) now. The bad news is nothing merged and if you were connected with me on Google+, you will have to do it again here.
*By the way, if you missed the free download of Wonder Husband’s award-winning sci-fi thriller, here it is again: Read Specific Impulse by Charles Justiz – get the free download here. Why? Because he is finishing up the sequel and I am going to get you so hooked on Jake, Carin, and FRED. Happy #FreebieFriday!
