I originally joined FB because the Lewy Body Dementia Caregivers Yahoo Group was starting a page. Well.everything that is posted on the group gets posted to the FB page.
Then I found a couple people and were their friends. But, then their friends who know me want to friend me and then I see people that are friends of someone else that I want to friend. Well.then it got to the point that it would take me an hour to go through all of the posts from friends replying to their friends, every new thing posted to a group page, etc. Then I realized that everyone can see what I am posting and figured out how to change it. My nieces were reading what I wrote and instead of replying to me, they would report everything to my brother. I was almost sure of that. So Halloween 2009, I changed my status to Engaged. Well.about three days later my brother called me and he started questioning me about why I don't tell him things that are important and that he thought that I loved him and could confide in him.BAM.memory came back. His daughters did report to him that I was engaged..they didn't offer me congratulations or anything.LOL I haven't gone there is a while. I had to open FB for something about a week ago and my neice's 10-yo daughter was posting that she was watching out the window and saw two birds mating and how the boy bird got on top of the girl bird and was fluttering his wings all around as he did it. This is the same 10-yo that had her FB hacked by a 12-yo a few months back and that kid was posting the filthiest language on her page. My niece took her to school the next day and talked to the teacher because she wanted her to know in case the other kids were commenting on it at school. The teacher told her that this is why 10 year olds are not allowed on FB. Next day.she had a new Facebook page! And parents wonder about how their kids get mixed up with the wrong crowds. I think I am closing mine because who knows what content is ending up where. You play games and they hook up to your info.who knows where that info goes.

After spending 20 minutes uploading my pictures and making a video, THEN it tells you that it cost $12.00 a year! Not only that, but some how, even though I used a different email address and name, it still linked me to Face Book for the chi group!! I am beginning to hate Face Book, ever since I joined, just to see what the big deal was all about, every where I go, even on the News sites, I see my name and Gigi's picture. Talk about tracking and invasion of privacy!! They are off the wall with it and I am going to close the dumb FB account!! I am never on it anyway. Face Book is taking over the Internet!!!!! What does everyone see in FB anyway? I personally like groups and personal emails, it feels more personal to me then FB. I find it difficult to read those small little boxes and keep track of who said what and when they said it on FB too. So don't waste your time on Jib-Jab unless you want to pay and use it a lot.
