Is Hillary going to run?

Have you seen the latest Kardashian ?

My opinion is ....

No, MY opinion is ...


OK ... it's early, but the Chelsea thing sparked this

I don’t do facebook.

Twitter for me because I can get the news I want without all the extraneous crap.

I don’t do Facebook, either. If anyone wants to assemble a dossier on me, they’ll have to work for it.

I’ve got an aunt who is more than happy to collect all the info and connect everybody for government on facebook. She tags every photo and announces every time somebody takes a dump.

I have been on FB since about 2008. It is a great way to keep up with family and friends from first grade through college. A relative had a serious motorcycle wreck on August 28 in AR and was airlifted to Little Rock. We all keep up with his progress through FB.

Vanity: A Facebook-type post with the pretense of being someone who hates Facebook-type attention-seeking.

Me too. Facebook is great as your news feed is entirely populated by the people you accept as your friends (or however you set your privacy settings). It gets out of control when you let anyone into your circle and start ‘Liking’ various pages. FB then litters your feed with ‘Suggested Posts’ from sponsors and you quickly discover that those people you barely know can have tastes you don’t share.

Overall it’s like the rest of the web. Get what you want out of it and ignore the rest. Have to pull the weeds to reap the full benefit.

There is no way that I would put my life open to the world by being a part of Face book!!!!

Anyone that wants to contact me has my phone number.

I've always been in the phone book and if they are too lazy to look up I don't want to talk to them.

I checked out Facebook for about a week. Then I figured out how to erase any trace of me from there and am NEVER going back.

Back when “Facebook” first started up, I clicked on there to send Sarah Palin a note of support. At that time, I got on there and got “snagged”; couldn’t find any easy way to unsubscribe. - Finally, after a few years, they put in an escape hatch (that I was able to find) and I ESCAPED! Haven’t missed it. - (I was afraid to turn down any “friend” request because there are so many people’s names I’ve forgotten & I was afraid of hurting someone’s feelings if I said no. - So, I got some duds for “friends”, duds with apparent motives).
