Don't have one....Don't want one

don't have one my DS says don't he does not want to setit up for me so people can't get in to my computer

I don't have one, I have a hard time just keeping up with this board, emails etc.

That is my exact reason. Don't post much, just check on family and friends I care about. Kind of interesting how much time some of them (that don't have time) spend on those stupid games. They could be on HERE! :) :D

My son works at a local fast food place and an employee got fired due to something he posted on his Facebook status. He came home from work one night and "vented" about his day - seems he forgot that everyone he worked with including the managers and his boss were his Facebook friends.

I have some adult friends who have their bosses on their FB as their friends....gotta say I think I'd draw the line at that - I'd not have my boss as a FB friend. But that's just me.

I would never have people I worked with as friends, gosh your with them all day I dont want to be with them when I am home !!

I told my daughter it would be like emailing one friend on my yahoo account and everyone on my contact list gets to see what I write. Went to my neighbors house today and she asked if I had FB. Again, the shock that I don't and then trying to convince me to get one. This is the story of my life. LOL

I have it, but I'm rarely on there. None of my friends quilt, so I am really addicted to this site.

I have had an account but just can't get into all the crap that's there so I closed it. All the goofy games & people telling the goofiest things to anyone who reads it.

I don't, but DH does. He needed it when he was looking for a job. He's also on several other networky type of things, but nothing as great as this place!!!

Yes I have facebook and I'm one who really likes it I have connected with classmates and cousins I haven't seen in years. I have 8 daughters who live all over the place and we stay in touch better through f/b and texting than by talking because we all have different work schedules. We share pictures, stories, etc. Of course it can be abused, and yes anything and everything you say is public, much like talking on a PA system in Grand Central Station. I also have some quilt board friends that are f/b friends and we use the live chat when we're both on at the same time. It has good and bad points, but I am a fan, albeit a careful one.

You can block the games easily. Many people don't know that.
Also you can block people so they don't show up on your news feed but you can still visit their page occasionally and they never know the wiser. One might think why be their friend if you block them but I do have a friend who posts alot of anti-Creation and anti-God (the day he posted 17 times in 24 hours I blocked it) I don't mind "visiting" him occasionally and I don't mind when he comments on my stuff but I couldn't deal with all the links and articles he was posting so I blocked him.
You can also block certain people from your own status updates if you wish. I've done that occasionally with political links and articles that I post when I don't feel like a "debate" on my page LOL

Once you get in there and find your way around, you really can control alot of what you see and what others see.

It isn't for everyone though - it is a social sight that's for sure!
