I wouldn't mind having facebook because it would make contact with my sister easier (she lives in Germany). However, I already spend too much time on assorted forums plus my MIL is on facebook and she wouldn't understand that I don't want to befriend her. I always hear what so-and-so posted on facebook) So no, no FB for me. I do have a cell phone and it is supposed to be used for emergency calls. 3 times I needed to use it, either the battery was empty or I got no signal. I think I'll start carrying a fire-making emergency kit. (If in doubt send out smoke signals, lol)
