I really don't like it but its the only way I find out what the family is up to they don't use the phone to call everything is texting and I only turn my cell on when I need to use it or when shopping with the 10 yr old and daughter in case we get lost (lol) in the store-

So I'm happy with just the quilting board. lol

I've never had a facebook page. Like sak658 I thought I would see or hear things I would rather not. I also feel like I would be hanging out where the younguns hang. It's OK if you think this is strange, others have said so but I just feel like I would be invading the younger generations hangout. My youngest will be 29 before long and I don't want to know all the details of my kids lives like they share online.

By the way love the Quilting Board.

I feel the same way. I have encouraged my children to have rich wonderful private lives as well as staying connected to family. I don't feel I need to be a part of everything they do.
Also, HR in the firm I work for checks social media frequently for any posts concerning the workplace. I am extra cautious what I say and how I say it. Will not reveal my company's name or gossip in any way.

My kids set me up with a FB account about the same time I found this site. I rarely go to FB. I am almost always here. I am here even more than playing Pogo, which I used to be addicted to. This Quilting Board rocks!!!!!!

I usually have both going at the same time. Facebook is how I keep up with family and grandkids. Quiltingboard is where I keep up with my addition.

I'm here every morning at 6:30 am Arizona time and then to check in later in the day whenever possible.

This is the GREATEST board with SUPER people!

No facebook for me. Love the QB!!!!!

I'm with you! I take a quick peek at FB, then spend hours here on QB. Love it here. So many fabulous things to see and enjoy all the 'talk'!

I was just telling my DD that 5 may dump FB because I am so disappointed in it. On the other hand I have to visit QB everyday at least once. I consider you my new 'friends'. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
