[QUOTE="donna723, post: 345000, member: 1883"] For me, it's been fascinating to reconnect with so many of the people I went to school with - women and men both! I graduated back in the 60's and then moved out of state so I had lost touch with [I]everybody[/I] I ever knew. I have more women Friends than men, but then I think there are just more women than men on Facebook, with my generation of people anyway. After reconnecting initially, we haven't really chatted back and forth a lot, but we compare kids and grandkids and comment on each others pictures. We have set up a page for people who went to our tiny little school and share news that way too. Just having a man as a Friend on Facebook doesn't mean there's any ulterior motives, it's just a way to reconnect, catch up and say "Hi!". I have [I]loved[/I] seeing what happened to all of them, their families, where they ended up, what they've been doing. Lots of surprises there. I didn't think I would ever hear from those people again, and then all of a sudden ... there they were! Mine is a big mix of people too. Besides my old friends from high school, there's several from CD, there's a ton of people from my dog-related board, and LOTS of relatives - my daughter and sister in law, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews, lots of cousins. They all live out of state and we're in much closer touch now than before and share our news, pictures, etc. We could have done it the old-fashioned way before but we [I]didn't[/I]! I even have some of my kids' old friends on there that I still keep up with. There are also a ton of people that I currently work with on there but I have chosen NOT to add them as Friends on Facebook. I just like to keep it kind of separate from my 'real world', ya know! I have only two real life friends on there. One is a woman that I worked with for over 20 years who recently retired because of illness - I never see her any more but love her dearly. The other is a local close friend whose daughter was best friends with my daughter growing up. She misses my daughter a lot since she moved out of state and this way she gets to keep up with pictures of the grandbaby, etc. Facebook is really just what you make of it. [/QUOTE]
