[AT] Change - way off topic

[charlie hill]

I use Facebook but not a lot.  I use it to keep up with some folks I don't 
see much and that would never think to let me what is going on with them 
(neighborhood kids that have gone off to school or whatever).  I talk to a 
few folks on FB but almost always with a private message which isn't much 
different than an e-mail.  As for posting all the details of my life on my 
page and feeling the need to tell everyone which pair of shoes I'm wearing 
or having the urge to buy Cows or fertilize my virtual farm they can forget 
about me.  Facebook CAN BE a very big and loose hole in personal security if 
you don't know what you are doing on there.

And I thought I was the only one not trying to learn Facebook.  From what I
have heard it is definitely not for me.  But, I have seen that it has really
helped my daughter through some tough times.  Thanks for letting me vent
too!

Paul,

I agree with you!  I may be old and cranky but that is okay with me.
I absolutely refuse to even look at Facebook.  Being a "friend" does
not motivate me at all.

My kids and other family members are big users but if they want to
communicate with me - it will have to be email.

For those of you still reading, have a Good Christmas!
