Facebook?!?

[mpcalfa2]

I started with this facebook crap as well about 7 months ago and like anything else it was great at first but became more of a chore then anything else. I agree about the ex issues as I've been in touch with some as well but it was going no where good quite quickly. Not worth giving up the kids although the little head is very strong willed. Also connecting with "friends" from 20 years ago isn't always nice. After a short time you realize why you haven't spoken in 20 years and now these idiots feel the need to let me know, "I hate mondays", or "I'm a fan of thumbwrestling", like I give a sh!t. If I haven't seen you in 20 years there's probably a reason. I want to start a rival site called facepuke where you can send enemy requests and then tell people what you really think of them. I'm looking for partners in this venture so anyone interested let me know.

I use Facebook for one thing only, keeping all contact methods open with my kids in Los Angeles, ( I live in Pennsylvania).
I DO NOT accept friend requests from anyone else and I actually have a made up name that very few people know. My wife and I actually share the account.

I have heard too many horror stories about this $h1^.

I'm thinking that this is the only "safe" way to go. Several family members (them young'uns, mostly) have been trying to get us to sign up, so I'm going to look into doing it like you suggest.

Man, you guys must have run with the wrong crowd

I love facebook, my wife and all of our friends are on there, but we have nothing to hide

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, if you are into political discussions, of the world or U.S. type, check out a "Facebook" group called "Assume the Position".
