I don't have it. I don't want to take the chance of someone getting my info. Also don' want to get a viris from it.

I opened an account and then closed it about 2 weeks later. I thought it was a pain and I'd rather talk to folks anyway.

No way. Being on this board is enough broadcast for me. I don't feel the need to broadcase my info all over internet land. I have my daughter's acct and password (with her permission) for when I want to see photos of people I know. If they want to see me, let 'em knock on my door! Guess I'm too old.

That's me. I have an account, only check it occasionally for a few minutes. My daughter set me up when she was still in college in San Deigo. It was how she shared her pictures and stuff with us. She loves to take pictures and is constantly posting them.

Oh, well said! Totally agree with you.

i do have facebook, but only check in 2 times a week if that, mostly to keep in touch with everyone at church since they all use it and don't believe in the old fashioned telephone! :) I would much rather talk on the phone or have people come see me. But, FB isn't all that bad.

And I thought I was the only one who does not want to FB!! Apparently I am not alone after all... thank you QB friends. My family tries to put the guilt trip on me for refusing to sign up. I keep telling them it is the modern day version of hanging clothes on the clothes and then gossiping over the backyard fence. I think it's a waste of my time and non productive. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I have a page and it is nonsense. My DH's relatives in Utah are into it big time virtual farms, charities, etc. I finally, after receiving umpteen chickens for the virtual farm I don't have, I sent them a message on my wall that I am much too busy for this kind of stuff. No more chickens, now its hugs, kisses, etc. Oh well!

I do have a face book page but just to keep in contact with grandkids and close friends I do not post personal info on it!

I have an account that I wish I had never opened. In one way I have linked up with people I have lost track of and thats the one good thing. I don't farm, post, play war or even rarely do I comment. Just one more thing I got pressured into.
