hello Diana and Mopo - I have a facebook also and my space.. however
dont have a clue how to use them ..
however last night I looked and Bruce Hershenson was a friend.. and
Andrea Kanter is one
so I would be happy to have some mopo friends add me as a friend
thanks Bruce and Andrea.
Tom..
I love facebook. Through this site, our entire extended family keeps
in touch daily. We even used it to send out the daily medical status
when Granny broke her arm...and those messages went coast to coast.
We like the fact that facebook has privacy settings for photo albums,
and we set them to "friends only."
As for unwanted friend requests, just click on "ignore" and poof,
they are gone.
Even better:
1. I have received so many postings from my former students who, being
in touch with eachother,were able to find me. Now they write and tell
me how much they loved my class, what they remember from those third
grade days, and more. I have already met with one of them for lunch.
Some of their parents are also on facebook and they have asked to be
my fb friend as well. I would have never known how many students - now
adults, some married - think so fondly of me....I treasure those "you
were my favorite teacher ever" messages!!! I would have never known
without Facebook, since these kids have spread out all over the world.
2. I have reconnected with high school friends with whom I have not
spoken for over 43 years!! Our neighborhood literally emptied out the
year after graduation, and we were scattered to the four winds with no
way to find each other. We meet for lunch, breakfast, and communicate
daily on fb. It is like study hall all over again, but with no
detentions for passing notes!!!!
3. Speaking of the neighborhood, I have reconnected with the girl I
lived next door to for 14 years growing up. She lives, ironically, 20
minutes away!!! Thank you Facebook!!! We now meet regularly and even
take knitting classes together.
4.Let's not forget college. Pals from both undergrad and grad schools
are there and we also communicate regularly and share photos. My
roommate lives in Connecticut and, pardon the pun, we have
connected! It is awesome!!
5. Current friends and I post very very often (sometimes daily) so we
all know what we are up to all the time!! Sure beats writing those
dreaded "aren't I wonderful?!" once-a-year Christmas letters that are
so annoying......................on fb we just share daily events and
life and it is what it is. We also use the message inbox function to
make plans,etc.
My kids love Facebook because I am the family photographer and I can
post tons and tons of photos...which previously would clog up their
inboxes when I would mail them. Now they can view them when ready and
so forth.
Does it take a lot of time? Yes. But far less than it would to try
and reach all of the people in my life who have meant so much to me
over the years in the different phases and locations of my life. I
check it each morning and before bed..and sometimes in between or on
my cel.
Love it, love it, love it.
Diana
