That is where I shower and get ready for work. <br /><br />Did you try uninstalling your FB app and re-downloading it? I do that if things stop working and it usually fixes it. I think that is the smartphone equivalent to turning something off and back on again.

See, where we live, in the country middle of no where (not really true but I like to be dramatic), where we live we have well water. No big deal until the power goes out. Well water needs an electric pump to pump the water out of the ground and when there's no electricity there is no water. NO teeth brushing, NO showers, NO toilets.... bad. news. bears.
