I stopped using FB for over a year. I could not stand to hear my cousin's daily pity party one more day. She was on FB all day and night complaining that her toddler did not behave and that she had no time for herself. Um, hello, maybe if you weren't of FB 16 hours a day maybe you could solve these issues. Then my brother started using it. It really is the best way to keep in touch with him, idk why. My friends on FB are limited to people I actually know with 2 PC friends as exceptions.

I do not understand why these young women in particular post their cell numbers with "text me I'm bored 1234567890." When my neice did it I DID text her! I asked her if she was crazy for posting her phone number where everyone and their friends (literally) could see it.

Lynn - I don't think a waiting room is a fair litmus test for society's problem with mobile devices. That is the ONLY time I actually use my cell to read yahoo news or surf the web. Sitting there waiting with nothing to do drives me insane. I would sit there and get more and more angry that you are late calling me back for my appointment. So now I find an interesting article and pass the time more peacefully.

FB has changed my opinion on some the friends I went to school with though. I really had no idea how racist, bigoted, and down right asinine they could be. These are people that I've known for nearly five decades. I had no idea they had these thoughts. I find it astounding. And several of them jump on and have this pack mentality, anything and everything is fair game. I had to do a serious purge after November. So which is an accurate reflection of who they are as a person? The jerk spouting ignorance or the person I thought I knew for years and years?
