I respond to friends vacationing in Europe not to tell the entire world you’re not at home at the moment!

>>What’s Facebook?<<

A place where people tell each other the nature and venues of their bowl movements.

This is accompanied by something called “tweeter” or something like that where such information is conveyed in real time along with GPS coordinates.

It seemed to work pretty well for Baraq.

Nope. I had an account for about a week to see what it was, and, after confirming my suspicion that it was a giant waste of time, I deleted it.

“It seemed to work pretty well for Baraq.”

If it’s used by his voters that proves it’s stupid!

Yeah posting personal inane actions on the Internet is rather a giant waste of time.

Facebook is the stupidest thing anyone ever thought up!

Its lack of popularity certainly proves your point.

Our preacher was talking about some study, retreat or something. And about how important it is to join in stuff like that to share your faith and your lives. “And you know - your REAL life. Not your Facebook life.”

The same person got me to join Facebook also got me to join here.

The old friend that is currently traveling in the south pacific and posting pictures is also sharing her progress with breast cancer. She has a friend caring for her dogs while she is gone. She has also posted pictures of her dogs. No one is breaking into her house while she is gone.

I use facebook to post negative articles and other nasty information about Dear Leader. I do my best to get the majority of my family and freinds to “unfriend” me, but they just hang in there. I’m very careful about posting only that information which is verifiably correct, and I explain how each report and story will directly affect them, in a personal way. Some of the younger nephews/neices have started to chime in with questions. It’s a start.

Your answer is just a click away.

I’m with ya on that.

Why would I be envious of my friends? I don’t have non-friends on FB, so when I see them going on some nice vacation I am happy for them. Usually they go someplace I wouldn’t because it is not my cup of tea.
