After moving 2100 miles from where I lived for 54 years, I like FB to stay connected with the people I choose to stay in touch with & know what's going on in their lives (ah thank heavens my almost-x-H isn't on FB.

I used to connect via email but FB 's a lot easier & I can write shorter things to them....also communicate through that messaging along with texting people. When living all alone for the first time in my life...connections are nice. Enjoyed finding people from way back in my life too.....people I lost touch with otherwise. I don't stay on there like I do here but I do enjoy keeping in touch
