I did not want to join Facebook but my kids MADE me - they actually set me up with an account, etc. Now I absolutely LOVE it and check it every morning even before I check my email. I can keep up with my kids and my grandson. I also have a few other family members and friends and am now loving a niece that I really did not know because I have only seen her in person a few times. My kids set mine up with certain privacy features (I still do not know how to do it). I have found several old classmates that I have not seen in 50 years and it has been wonderful.
