I used to waste so much time on it, but I've since found other things on which to waste my time. One nice thing about it though, is that it has allowed me to be reunited with some of my old schoolmates, as well as other people from my childhood.<br /><br />Looking up at Teri's comment, I can totally understand where she's coming from. A couple of years ago, a female friend was congratulated by a transgender acquaintance of mine on FB for looking so "realistic". She was not amused. Makes me wonder how many other female friends were similarly contacted and just never told me about it... or worse yet, dropped me because of it. Since then I've changed my privacy settings so that my friends list is no longer visible... FB friends can only view mutual friends. That's becoming increasingly important because a growing number of my FB friends are people I know in real life, most of whom don't know about my past.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128903928694816585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-64299069539400259472011-02-16T13:01:34.624-05:002011-02-16T13:01:34.624-05:00Snowing here and I'm in CA.

I deleted some trans connections who contacted GG friends because they thought they were trans. Quite embarrassing. At one point I dropped about 100 trans folk because we had nothing in common other than the T connection. Now most of my FB friends are real life friends.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129944492482478212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-18889538678003494402011-02-16T12:29:43.947-05:002011-02-16T12:29:43.947-05:00It's been in the high 60's and low 70'...It's been in the high 60's and low 70's here too. It's suppose to stay that way for at least the next 10 days. <br /><br />When I took the dog out the other night, I heard frogs croaking down in the low part of our property.<br /><br />I've found Facebook is good for keeping up with family.

It seemed to me it was less the story of Zuckerberg and more the story of Eduardo. Zuckerberg is not an approachable character. He's just too weird, too inhuman (and apparantly somewhat fictionalized). But Eduardo is someone we can relate to (except that he's billionaire)--a guy who got caught up in something that went way beyond his control and turned in directions he never expected.<br /><br />Blogging and reading blogs is social networking, not all that different than Twitter and FB. Just depends on how you want to interact with people. I spend too much time on FB, but I'd still rather meet people in meatspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-18647990373532555502011-02-16T09:21:16.919-05:002011-02-16T09:21:16.919-05:00Thanks for "The Lumberjack Song", it'...Thanks for "The Lumberjack Song", it's been a while since hearing it.

They have just renegotiated and the company has piled in a load of cash to make up a hole but I think our contributions will be increased too. They sent around a thick glossy brochure to all our homes to explain this at our expense no doubt. I haven't opened mine.
