August 24, 201412 yr ^^^ Me too. First day of school pictures. Grandchildren telling me what's going on. Connecting with old friends and family. Don't post a lot, but I stay connected.
August 24, 201412 yr Author I am and it's a Godsend for me. With my family and friends all over the place, it's how we stay connected. Before Facebook, many of us had lost touch completely. Now, we at least can get in touch and occasionally see what's going on in each other's lives. Life takes us all in so many different directions. It's nice to have a place to go and catch up. I have reconnected with many family members in Florida. Quite nice actually. But some may say I'm just wasting time.
August 24, 201412 yr I have reconnected with many family members in Florida. Quite nice actually. But some may say I'm just wasting time. Not I. Like Jaysie posted, being able to be a part of the lives of those we love and those we share friendship with is never a waste of time, in my opinion.
August 24, 201412 yr Im on facebook, you can see my ugly mug with the beautiful future Mrs. Plantmanky making monkey faces from when we were at the zoo.
August 24, 201412 yr I have reconnected with many family members in Florida. Quite nice actually. But some may say I'm just wasting time. How is that wasting time? Sounds like time well spent.
August 24, 201412 yr Yes, but it is hard for you to stay active. Ive not heard of FB suspending anyone. FB just likes blocking people from sending friend request and if your blocked from doing that, you can't send anyone who isn't on your friends list a message until the block is over

I joined Facebook only to keep in touch with our family who live anywhere between Maryland, Wisconsin and California.
August 25, 201412 yr I'm trying my best to wean myself from it. I might spend a grand total of 5 minutes a day on it.
August 25, 201412 yr I am on there but I am rarely on there anymore like I used to be. Just tired of all the negativity. If it wasn't such a good source of networking for me to keep in touch with people I care about I would delete my account. I don't have a lot of family close by and some of my best friends aren't close by so Facebook is a great tool for me in that aspect.

August 25, 201412 yr Facebook is good to see when something personal is going on with somebody that they may not share on BGP. I've kept up with and offered prayer to a few BGPers on FB when I'd have never known about it just on BGP.

I've quit following a ton of pages that just spewed stuff that was over the top, mostly political stuff from the right and tea party. It has made FB more about people and less about the other stuff.
August 25, 201412 yr I am and it has been great to connect with family I rarely see and also reconnecting with college and HS classmates
