I can't believe I am saying this, but I joined FB a few months ago and it has already taken over my life. For some reason, until today I have been forgetting to log into PC and check on my friends. I feel bad. I just noticed I haven't logged in since December 1st. I'm sorry to all my friends... I have missed you all. BIG hugs for you all.

By the way... if you have a FB account and would like to be my friend, just let me know.

Miracle,
I have been on FB for almost 5 years and I can honestly say it has been hard to fight off addiction to it. FB has caused me more stress than I care to admit but it has allowed me to reconnect with old friends and build new friendships that I value. At a high, because of my job with a university, I had more than 1500 "friends." Now I am down to a little over 200 but that is still too many. I have tried deleting some of them but they keep coming back.

That said, be careful. Do not let FB become a tool for self medicating or an excuse for losing touch with those who can offer you support and encouragement like the people on here. Like many things in life, FB can be really good in moderation.

Peace, and happy new year!
KD

Have you discovered Farmville yet?
Yeah facebook is nothing. Farmville is ever consuming

I joined facebook a long time ago in my anti myspace phase. Have never left. I can't think of a handful of days in the last year that I didn't at least pop on to see what's happening. Has been great in that I have been able to connect with people I have known through school and such though

if Farmville is anything like City of Wonder I don't want to discover it... CoW is the stupidest game ever in my opinion!
it's impossible to keep the people happy without building a lot of the same buildlings... ugh... its just stupid!!!

I joined facebook, too, but I have yet to see the appeal. I guess I don't do anything all that exciting, and I don't care to read all the unexciting things that other people do either. That said, I'm more addicted to PC!
Thanks for this!
