Hey, Barbara

Yes, I'm on Facebook. I deleted my Myspace page a little while ago. Facebook has helped me feel in touch with my niece and nephew who I haven't talked to since the lawsuit (the oldest kid just had her first baby and posted photos of baby Liam). I just sent a friend request to your hubbie. Damn, he has a lot of FB friends! I only have 49.

I get all sorts of interesting news and links and poems and recipes. One drawback is the games they have on there that your friends may become addicted to and post news of their winnings and losses on your Wall, Mafia Wars and FarmVille. I just learned how to hide results of the games! Hooray!

It seems like in every group of "older" people we end up in a discussion of Facebook. I don't get how some people can spend 3 hours signing up. It's so easy! Discussions of privacy always ensue, and then the obligatory discussion of wasting your precious time on computer sites. That last one I get but Facebook doesn't usually take much time. I can recommend it, I think!
