it on/off too. He didn't see the timestamp in my photo, which he thought was further "proof" that it was from a digital camera. My photo actually did have
a timestamp on it, which someone else pointed out to him, and he accepted he had been corrected.

I never had a camera that put the time stamp on the actual photo until I
got a digital camera. All the film cameras I had never even had that
option.

I don't know if it was the camera or the place they got them developed, but some of the photos my family has from around the time I was born, and the
first couple of years of my life, do have dates in the white "margins" that surround the photo. I haven't looked at one in a while, but I think it was
the month and year, along with a small logo (a greyhound?).

Many of us are of an age when it's time for a colonoscopy. Get it done.
Your family will thank you.

Been there, done that, clean as a whistle! I was lucky in that I didn't have to check in to the Hotel Toidy. I think I had maybe three or four more visits than normal, that's it.

There's a comedy song called The Colon, by Carla Ulbrick, done to the tune of The Love Boat theme. Funny stuff.

Got downvoted. I still have no idea why.

I've noticed something about this. Either people are associating the thumbs down with just a general reaction to the situation/story, or they just /have/ to "react" somehow and they don't feel like a "thumbs up" is appropriate. My that's just my take on inexplicable downvotes.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if clicking "like" in a situation where the person
is describing something bad that happened to them is appropriate -- is it a sign of support for them, or a sign that I am glad the bad thing happened?

I look at it as sending good vibes or bad vibes. Makes it easy to chose.

I guess where my confusion really comes in is where someone shares
something that is bad because it is bad... like Politician X did Y thing.
They share it because they think it is bad, so I am never sure if I should upvote it (send them good vibes for sharing the news) or downvote it (bad
vibes to the person that caused the bad news).

FB makes it a little easier... I can react with a sad or mad face. ;)

I got a Roll Film Camera in the early 1950's and had the film developed at a Drugs Store nearby.
They used Acorn company to process and make prints.

I don't think the Month Year was shown at the bottom of the prints in the early 50's but do remember seeing it added to the photos in the later 50's.

Of course the film negative didn't have that feature way back then.

My last film camera i bought in the '70's didn't do that either.
Only until I started using a digital camera did I see the Instant the picture was made.

I think that's why facebook created the "Care" reaction: acknowledgement without judgement.

I often find myself wishing I could use that in other, non-FB scenarios.
