I'm liking it more and more. This summer all my high school friends
and I found each other and now we're planning our reunion next
summer. My grandson plays Farmville with his mom (and the guy who
lived across the street from me when we were kids, Scott) while she
waits for class (she's working ft and taking 6 classes, so she's never
around this year) and between that and talking to that little camera
in the computer, they're good. Actually, I'm sure Scott thinks those
pigs and cows are from me; wait til he hears he's been exchanging
livestock with with my grandson! LOL!!! (Scott and I locked braces
when I was 15, and my parents opened the front door in time to see us
trying to squirm apart!)
Also, Aiden's godmother is pregnant and posts all the ultrasounds on
fb, so you don't have to wait for a visit. I have my privacy settings
set that way, as well.

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.
