I Dont Think I Can Face Facebook !?#@

[hnooe]

Get through the first week of everyone wanting to be your friend- it is overwhelming. I have found FB and love it- a fantastic way to keep in touch with my out of town friends, family, and current friends. I am so much better at keeping up with people I have grown up with, worked with, and love!

Not a week has gone by where I have not been happily surprised by somebody that saw my name on another's FB, and a really cool friend "re-connection" was made. Not to mention how much fun it is to see old and new pictures!

I just remembered the best part- seeing my friend list everyday makes me smile. I am blessed to have made 44 years worth of friendships with some really neat people. And now I have a way to keep up with some of them.

SWGB is the Sowal FB Kidnap King! I think I just found a new app for him to master!

Mob Wars: Recruit your friends into your own "mob" and vie to be the mafia boss of Facebook. Millions of hardcore gamers and bored office-workers alike join ranks to hustle, steal and kill in their struggle to get to the top. As our friends who use it have said it's quite addictive, and as we have work to do, we haven't taken the plunge quite yet.

Not yet Facebook Rookies. Between Aggieb, SWGB and Aleonard we are the Kinaping Jedi's!

Aleo turned me onto it. My other favorite is the lil' green patch. I spent an hour last night tending to others green patches. It also donates money to save the rain forest. John R is the master of that one.

wow, I never thought about that. I use them a lot.

OMG, I "seem" to do this often in my "responses" on Sowal!!!

You both use them properly, imho. Carry on. . . .

I thought that was Skunky's job.

He's not an OB/GYN, although that would explain the nickname skunky. :funn:

I really like both SoWal and FB for similar and different reasons. I can connect with my SoWal friends on both, but I get to connect with friends from the U.S., Holland, Afghanistan, Curacao, Germany, etc. on Facebook. Just tonight, I wrote 3 good friends from high school back and 1 from Athens. I wouldn't know a thing about them without FB. Also, I have family from all sides, both adopted and birth, on there. Plus, I didn't even realize that I had a person from high school that lived HERE, 2 miles from me, until FB. Now, we run into each other all the time. I skip all the extra stuff now and play Scramble when I am trying to get Hunter to sleep, but that's about it.

I have set up my FB account so that everyone can't see every wall I write on, etc. You can have it as private as you want it, which is nice. I blocked 2 ex-boyfriends that I really do not ever want to "chat" with insincerely. Not my cup of tea and it's nice to know that I can make that choice on there.

SoWal is my connection here, to news and the goings-on. It was a great help when we moved here 2 1/2 years ago. When I wanted to find out about the fire today, I came here because I knew someone would have the answer. This is like a warm, fuzzy home that is much quieter. I'd have to say I'm a SoWaller at heart and always will be. It's quirky, just like the place we live in. I love SoWal and can't even use other local sites because they feel like I am cheating on SoWal.:roll:

But I love that many of my SoWal friends are on FB. And, Hnooe & MissCritter, I love seeing your updates now, along with everyone else's. I love that Singinchicken and AggieB can check on why they have a friend request from me. I enjoy chats with Dunelaker's other half. Plus, while typing this post, I have received a playdate request from one of Z's classmates' moms and a friend request from my cousin Lance in Iowa, who was the main reason I found out so much about my birth family so easily. You can't biotch about joys like that.

OM...you jsut about made me cry...over fb!

 

[Miss Kitty]

Beautiful sentiments OM--hey! you just pushed me over the edge on something that I want to do now or asap--make my Sowal space and profile as factual revealing as my Facebook profile.

Some may find comfort in (or hide behind) silly avatars and cute names, but for 2009 I am ready to lay it all out baby--anyone care to get psychologically naked with me and follow suit?

When I can get it I am going to us a permanent avatar using, how radical, using my real face. I am going to ask our wonderful webmaster if I can have a space between the "h" and my last name "nooe." More will follow.......

Who are you calling, SILLY? :angry:

Be mindful of stalker types. :shock:
