I used to be on Facebook too. I stopped when the posts became political and outright mean. I want to be where it is fun. Life is difficult at times and these sites should be about fun and happy things. No more Facebook for me. I love this site too.

Ironic...I was just thinking about that same question to myself the other day. I enjoy spending my time with those that I have something in common.

I am on FB so I can see what my kids, and friends, and kids of friends are doing. I can post pictures right off of my iphone to FB, too, that I cannot do here unless I just don't know how to do it. So I like them both, spend the most time on the QB, tho.

I, too, prefer QB. I found out things on FB I didn't want to know. When you find kids are doing and saying things too personal, then it's time to get off of that. It broke my heart to see one of the DGD's on there saying things she should not be saying and (as one of my niece's said) needing a sheet to cover her up parts that were toooooooooo exposed. I don't want to see that and it hurts that her mother (our EX-DIL) doesn't care at all. Nope, not for me.

I love the support, friendship, encouragement, inspiration and the wealth of knowledge everyone brings to the table .... what a grand banquet among friends!! ;-)

Are there others out there like me? Just curious.

Happy quilting!!

I am the same way!

Closed my fb account because of all of those security issues, my 75 year old mother keeps me updated on what's happening with family, I don't miss it.

Same with me. This is my first and some times only stop. I still check out Face Book, have lots of family and friends there, but not as often anymore.
