Like a rocky love affair, I go back and forth with Facebook, ready to break up one day and welcoming it back with open keyboard the next. I’ve weighed the pros and cons and decided here are my top five gripes…. Like many Facebookers, I’ve learned to watch every key I push. One day you’re on Facebook and you show the least bit of interest in, oh say……and before you know it, the world is alerted. It’s like having a spotlight suddenly shine on you when you’re in your underwear.
. I’ve made my peace with that. By now they know my political views, religion, blood type, the fact that I prefer scones to donuts, like soft-bristle tooth brushes over medium, where I live, my phone number, have a cat named Rocky and a dog named Libby. Let’s face it, if you’re on Facebook, you’re on the grid. And you’re never getting off.I’ve had people who want to “friend” me who are warm, caring and wonderful. They’re lovely people. I just have no idea who they are.
I love the new friends I’ve made on Facebook via the groups I’ve joined, some people as far flung as Australia and India. I like “chatting” a few times a week and learning about their lives.
