And then there's my niece who lives a champagne lifestyle, relatively, on a beer budget and
recently went on FB and begged her friends for money to pay her vet bill. Luckily her father
doesn't partake in FB. I don't either but the wife keeps me up on the sad and sordid goings on.

Here's another insufferable pattern. The endless, I mean endless stream of everything your child ever did and will do posted online. Seriously, stop posting this stuff. Your kid certainly doesn't care about it either.

hey there say, johnElizarian (got to check the spelling again) :)
as to this:
I love Facebook, because it's an easy way to keep up on the lives of people I care about without the need to telephone each one every night. Besides, Bob D'A posts several outstanding photos there every day (this is true, and a sufficient reason to be a member if Bob will "friend" you).
sure enjoyed that! seeing bob's bird photos, near makes me feel like i enjoyed them in my own yard: which actually only gets a small handful of a
variety here... :)
sadly, it is the only way i ever learn of my outofstate grandkids, :(
so i AM GLAD FOR IT... i get to peek in, as they share them with others of their nearby relatives...
and then, last but not least:
yes! jeff and his post are soooo fun!
i really do like to know that a friend is doing fun stuff!
make me smile, :) to know they are well... :)
when you have a variety of friends, that overlap a tad in the things that
they like, occasionally you may share more to one's liking than another's, but i keep trying to keep it even--and keep updates for those that do WANT that, since i have no long distance phone calls on my service, out, ... :))

facebook is advertising, no matter what way you look at it.
some advertising is fun to watch, some not so much. personally I like all my friend's posts because if I don't.. DEFriend. Love your friends, foibles and all.

What about the kids??? You sign up for Facebook at ten and now all your friends have access to what basically amounts to your baby book!
How embarrassing! ;)

What just like the rest of the internet and what's on your phone and computer? What tv shows you watch, who you call, where you go....
Between cell phones, rfid tags, and facial recognition software big brother is everywhere...

This is why I hate people in general and refuse to do Facebook.
People, try to get a f*#king life that you don't have to 'share' with everybody else. Poseurs!!!
Ugh....

Merry Christmas
The banter here and over on the thread about Snoden the whistle blower who "Risked His Life". . . the hook of the tread title, are shadowing each other.
The world has not been free since the sixties. The end of freedom came with the trappings of freedom like the fall of the Berlin wall.
What is said, is often
the opposite of what is. . .

facebook is horrible.
it's like highs-cool social life all over again,
except that you don't get to touch any boobies.
i recently found linkedin,
and it suits me well as
it allows me access to distant acquaintances,
without jelly and marshmallow-scum
smeared all across my screen.

And you doing something purely to serve your emotional or egotistical needs really should not show up on their computer screen—it just shouldn’t.
Ha ha, don't expect things to change any time soon . . .

DMT.... I expected your face to be in the center of that.
I quit FB soon after I joined. Just filled up with to much BS stuff, made my friends look less friendly. I really don't need to know all that info about daily habits, interactions and conflict.
Taco is enuf.

So the people you friend on FB are annoying and insufferable.
That makes one of you an idiot.

It would be FANTASTIC to be in the middle of such a beautiful place...
Talk about ENVY...
Locker, they would probably all fart on your at the same time. But then you would probably like that too.

I clicked on this wondering if Burch had written a book. I guess if it had been 7,000 instead of just 7.
