He didn't have a problem friending me, as long as I keep to myself. I almost never have time to go on, anymore, but sometimes it's fun.

And a cousin I haven't talked to in about 25 years emailed me and asked if I was on Facebook yet so we could be friends. And even my ex-husband's sister sent me a card with "join Facebook" scrawled on the inside. (kinda weird on that last one.) I haven't joined yet, but like you, I think the Facebook Gods are kinda getting angry with me that I haven't. But, gosh, as a single mom with a blog and an 11 hour a day job, I just don't see how I would have time for Facebook too. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I've been told a blog is like pot, while Facebook is like crack. So, I'm still deciding too. Have you made your decision yet?Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640568359378959501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-60074768332857235432009-01-23T10:53:00.000-05:002009-01-23T10:53:00.000-05:00As I see it, Facebook is mainly a way to get famil...As I see it, Facebook is mainly a way to get family and friends around the world off your back for not sending pictures of the kids--keep your site private except for those you know (and want to keep up with), put the pictures there and tell them to help themselves.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-58526990382200841922009-01-22T23:59:00.000-05:002009-01-22T23:59:00.000-05:00I just took a look at FB... pathetic.And I totally...I just took a look at FB... pathetic.<BR/><BR/>And I totally agree w.

So much better than my space which I think is kind of trashy these days. Facebook is very clean looking too - no garish backgrounds etc. Your daughter would have to add you as a friend in order for you to see her page. Just tell her not to add you if it really matters. Twitter is good too - I have more fun with that.ItchyBitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689105039645020348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-61310221897655548682009-01-22T19:07:00.000-05:002009-01-22T19:07:00.000-05:00Facebook is supposedly the thinking man's MySpace....Facebook is supposedly the thinking man's MySpace.
