I love Facebook! It has brought friends and family back in to my life that I hadn't seen or spoken to in years. Anyone who is all about drama and negativity gets deleted or blocked, that includes my kids.

I have FB but only go on it once in awhile. I've had fun seeing old friends, some distant relatives, and keeping up with my friends in NY. I don't do games or anything b/c that would take away from my time here or quilting. Nope!!! :D:D

I do facebook, but mostly it is an easy way for me and my sisters to keep in touch. It has been nice to reconnect with some family members and friends that I never thought I would see or hear from again, and for that I am thankful. I enjoy facebook, and I manage to stay out of the drama. Its really a choice thing. You can involve or uninvolve yourself as much as you choose. I know there is lots of drama on there, but I am never a part of it. So its all good here ;)

I LOVE facebook! I have reconnected with many people from my past that I really missed. Since I now live so far away from family and friends, it's my way of connecting with them. Although, family members seem to enjoy airing dirty laundry for everyone to see, I simply put them on mute so I don't have to know about it.

Since I'm not comfortable talking on the phone, facebook is my way of letting people know I'm still alive. I mostly post photos, quips or a "daily weird holiday". A lot of people make a point to tell me that I have lifted their spirits for the day, which makes me feel good too.

I don't post much on FB but I am able to keep up with my nieces and nephew, cousins and a few friends. My page is full of quilting sites, BCA and the United Methodist Church

I'm really loving FB right now! I was just notified that I won my second contest via fb this year. Today is from Arrow Sewing Cabinets! I get to pick whether I want a Gidget II or a Chair-y!

I have one FB account for me, one for DH. I use DH's for all the commercial stuff, contests, giveaways, coupons, etc. So it doesn't clog up my account. He never uses it himself.

I try to keep mine low key. No grandkids yet, but do keep up with my son and daughter...who are way too busy to post much. I like seeing what my friends are doing and their kids and grandkids....and the rest of my family. I Do NOT do any of the games, and I block all of the game posts that come from people who do.

I only use it to keep up with DDIL and my grand kids. They just got accounts and are so fun to chat with. They live to far away for frequent visits so this is how we keep in touch. Other than that I do not post much on there.
