Do you Facebook..why or why not?
#21
I Love facebook!!! I live far away from my family (daughter in North Carolina, family in San Francisco & Reno; friends Everywhere), and I miss them terribly. Facebook lets me see the latest photos of my favorite nephew's children. Let's me be silly with my sister. Let's me leave beautiful music to my mom (yes, she's 80 and does facebook!). It lets me make plans to meet up with friends I haven't seen since highschool. Facebook enriches my life. It has wonderful privacy settings so that you can block yourself from even showing up in a search if you so wish. I would be Sad if facebook went away. Depressed, even! :-)

I love FB, started to keep up with friends and family in a few minutes a day. So many are far apart and you just have to send one message and everybody gets it. Don't post very often but do check it everyday. Feel more connected to people you do not see very often. Just have to talk to Caro about posting in German.

I do like facebook. My family had a falling out in 2005 because mom gave house to one brother... I love all my family and now most will not talk to me because I am friends with the one who got the house :( Long story short. I love my nephews and nieces and facebook allows me to maintain contact with the young. :) I also get to see pictures of their children so it keeps me in contact with my family. :)

I am quite computer literate, and do have a FB page, mostly to keep in contact with two oldest kids & the grandkids. We don't farm, don't play all the games or all the quizzes... took my DIL forever to figure out I don't do that junk. But if I'm out camping with grandbabies, I can post pics from my phone to my FB page, and yes, we use the privacy so only accepted friends can see or access us.

sewTinker, looks like we're in the minority here. I'm on Facebook; not every day and don't do the Farms, etc. But I do enjoy "meeting" up with family and friends. I do sell a little bit, so it's also a way to advertise my wares for free. I think I've blocked all the bad things, too.

No i'am not, this is why. My son and dau-in-law are both in computer research and they say not to because it's to easy to do bad, bad things to people who are on sites like that . So I stay away, in fact I even limit the number of people who have my cell No. to family. I never ever give someone elses phone no. to anyone else. To much info. is not good. I even lurked here for months before I joined. Sorry but I'am to private I guess.

I am on FB and while I don't go a lot I like keeping in touch with friends and family I normally wouldn't.
At first I loved it but then I found the Quilt Board- now everyone on FB thinks I fell off the face of the earth! lol
:D:D
As far as the safety issue- I just try not to worry about it. I don't give out much info but it's just impossible to have as much privacy as I would like anymore.

I only have it because it's the only way I get to see recent pictures of my DGD's. My DIL is just too into it IMO. She posts pictures of the guinea pigs and their babies and the bearded lizard and...yawn...are you as bored as I am?
