I don't know what I'd do without this forum. I strongly believe in "online friends" - let's face it, I see my online friends every day, whereas I see my IRL friends once a year, or less.
As for Facebook, I'm on it to stay in touch with some life-long friends and with my son and DIL. I flatly refuse to get into politics on Fb, and so do my close friends. The hardest part of Fb for me is seeing photographs of, for example, a friend remodeling her adorable kitchen. It's tough, because here I am, grateful to be able to rent a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. My therapist tells me to stop comparing. And it's true, everyone has their burdens- even if it doesn't look like it.
