Aw, you must have a great relationship with your kids! I don''t think I''d friend my parents, haha, some of my friends have a twisted humor when it comes to wall posts, and it would probably freak out my folks.Date: 10/23/2009 7:29:57 PM

Probably not, but many of us are... My kids even friended me!!!! Woohoo!!!! I get to see all their pics, I love that!!
I didn''t join with my real name. I so don''t need to hear from old high school chums. I did it mostly for people I know here and for a few select family members. So far it''s been a lot of fun.
You shoukd join DF!! You''re missing out!!!![]()
Kenny, I don't know about it looking through your email but you can set up a gmail account or something like that so that you don't use your primary email for FB. Also you can use a fake name if you prefer? You also can change some of your preferences. Let me see if I can find a great FB guide on privacy settings. heheDate: 10/23/2009 7:29:30 PM

I'm not a member.
I got a lot of pressure to join.
I finally caved in about a month ago.
During registration it asked for the password for MY EMAIL ACCOUNT!![]()
I got so put off that I reached over and turned off my computer immediately.
I have subsequently learned there probably was a place where in the fine print it said giving PW was optional.
Apparently they used ask for email passwords.
The point is that FB looks in your email address books for matches to help connect more people.
It's kind of creepy.
Anyway apparently I got through enough of the registration procedure that I did get a membership which I promptly terminated.
They do not allow you to terminate immediately.
You have to NOT login for 2 weeks after you terminate before the account goes away.
Even that is annoying.
That is like a heroin addict checks into rehab so they put you into a room with needles and heroine for 2 weeks and you only get treatment if you abstain.
I am not a member of Facebook so there are 2 or 3 of us on the planet.![]()

am i the only person on earth that''s NOT a member on FB?
Deb, I think that is why a lot of people do not participate in facebook because they feel too plugged in already. I know a few people who refuse to do it because they need their down time and don't want to be so accessible. I can see both sides and understand where people are coming from who feel this way. I read something the other day that people don't sleep as well being so plugged in (too much mental stimulation). I guess we all have our reason to have an account or not to.Date: 10/23/2009 9:08:25 PM

Dancing Fire, does it surprise you at all that I, also, am not a member of Facebook? Does it surprise you that it took me a few moments to figure out to what you were referring with the initials, 'FB'? And, no, it isn't because I haven't been asked to join (numerous times). All my friends keep sending me invitations to join in order to see their photographs. I just don't need that much stimulation. I also use my cellphone only in the car and for emergencies and I do not know how to text nor will I learn how to do so. I have shut down a lot of the byways on the Information Superhighway so that I can retain my sanity. I do not want everyone to be able to reach me all the time.

No. I do not participate in FB, My Space, or any other online ''networking'' club. I really only participate here on PS, and I am pretty anonymous, which is how I like it.![]()
I am very lucky, we are very close... They tell me pretty much everything anyway... Open door policy and all. Not that I love everything they tell me, but better to tell me, than not!!!Date: 10/23/2009 7:34:05 PM

Ditto. I do check my daughter''s tweets, and then she accuses me of cyber-stalking her. Geese, I thought it was the point that anyone could read anyone else''s tweets. I''m pretty sure she doesn''t want me reading her FB posts either.Date: 10/23/2009 8:48:57 PM

No, my 80 and 83 year old parents aren''t either![]()
I told both my girls that the only way I would let them have Facebooks is if I knew their passwords. I don''t get on their FB''s very often but once in a while I do check to make sure everything looks OK.Date: 10/23/2009 11:44:51 PM
