[QUOTE="donna723, post: 657841, member: 1883"] I confess ... I am a total Facebook junkie too and for me it's been wonderful! Due to a couple of moves at crucial times in my life I had lost track of so many people. We moved away from extended family when I was 12, then moved again when my kids were little so I had lost track of most of those people that I knew. It didn't happen overnight but now, thanks to Facebook, I have reconnected with all these people that I thought I'd never hear from again! I'm back in touch with all of my many cousins on both sides of the family and it's wonderful seeing all their pictures and watching their kids and now grandkids grow up! I'm back in touch with a lot of people that were close friends back in my young "running around" years. And I am now keeping up with so many old friends that I went to high school with and lost track of when we all went our separate ways. I'm in groups for my old school and there's even a group of people who grew up in our old neighborhood where we lived when we were kids! We trade memories and pictures that mean a lot now that it's all so different there. I'm even friends with a large group of people that I've known online for many years because we all have Boston Terriers and became acquainted on a Boston website and message board. The family uses Facebook to keep in touch. Yeah, we could email but we don't. So now I've got pictures of one cousin's newest baby and pictures of the memorial service for another much loved cousin who passed away recently. Yes, you have to be careful and very selective, but for me, if it suddenly went away I would probably go back to being an isolated hermit again! [/QUOTE]
