I despise Facebook. I got lured into making an account so I could share pics with my sister and the girls. Now I'm getting friend requests and email updates hourly from every Tom, Dick and Harry. Seriously, This morning I have a friend request from a High School girl that is dating my very distant cousin, that I met at a funeral for the first (and only) time 4 years ago. Also, because of Facebook a girl my husband dated 22 years ago (When we were 18) showed up at the Hospital during family visitation when my mother-in-law was in ICU. Apparently she's been “occasionally” checking in on our family via my sister-in-law’s Facebook page for years, and when she saw we were going through a really difficult time, she sped to the hospital... to show off her new boob job. Facebook stinks.

So you used it to communicate with family. Horrible site.

Decline the request. That was hard.

Also, because of Facebook a girl my husband dated 22 years ago (When we were 18) showed up at the Hospital during family visitation when my mother-in-law was in ICU.

Facebook made her a shallow idiot? Weird.

Facebook stinks.

Facebook is a communication tool.

Yep; Facebook stinks. - A few years ago, I got snared into it when I clicked on there to write someone a note of support (Sarah Palin). IMMEDIATELY, certain relatives and acquaintances latched on and “friended” me. - Long story short, at that time, I could find no way to escape. A friends DIL would post photos of her redecorating projects, tell when they were leaving the house on her “status”, and when they were returning. - They finally got robbed one day. - Others in the family and acquaintances would post cute, even sort of “sexy” photos of their children and grandchildren on Facebook. - Then, because I’m old and didn’t refuse anyone who requested “friending” because I thought they were probably people I’d met in the past that I didn’t remember, I got propositioned by some woman on there. - “Facebutt” is right!
