I am particular about what I post in my info. No contact info except email. A little about my hobbies.

I like the fb games and play them when I can't sleep. I "hide" the scores, etc., from games I don't play so I don't get 6,000 posts every day.

I am a BabyBoomer and a lot of my generation are using it. My kids and grandkids- on there all the time.

Once I learned how to "block" junk I didn't want, I enjoy it very much.
