Facebook

Facebook............you either love it or hate it. For me it has been a way to connect with distant family and friends. I used to wait for weeks to see the photos from Christmas as film had to be taken to be developed and then there was the pick up and sometimes I was viewing these in February....well ty FB not anymore. I see them as soon as they are taken thanks to my brothers posting on their pages and other relatives are doing the same. It is almost like being there and such a good thing.
Games was a new thing to me.........a niece or nephew would send me an invite to play and other cousins joined in as well as my brother and we would all compete madly for awhile and then I one day realized it was mostly me that was playing. By then I had hooked up with other gamers all over the country and Brazil, Italy, France, Egypt, England, Scotland, and places I have no idea where they are.........so interesting. I have friends who poke me every day and that actually is keeping in touch more so than most of my friends and relatives so I thank them for thinking about me....tis a strange thing.
Friends who don't do Facebook are miffed at me for not keeping up with email but when one can IM on FB and talk to someone in real time..kinda hard to go back to email. One of our former French students is in NYC this week with his family and I have so enjoyed seeing the photies on FB.............I don't plan on leaving this fun thing in my life. Always there to entertain me.
