Facebook.......

Ahhhh Facebook.............in my continued Quest to live in the here and now and at the invitation of one of my daughters I joined Facebook. It's where it all happens I was told by several sources and so I did. It's where I got to view photos of my grandchildren's lives, which they never sent to us through email anymore. That's where I learned that two of my granddaughters are gun and rifle enthusiasts despite their mother being raised in a home where not even rubber knives were allowed, nor water pistols or any weapon plastic or real. That's where I learned that some of my grandkids party until the cows come home and use language that shouldn't be put out over the internet because colleges and prospective employers check Facebook, and that not only can you be "friended" but you can also be "unfriended" and I am sure that's not the language used. It is also sadly where I learned that on May 26. our new great-granddaughter arrived, rather than receiving a phone call to share this awesome event. It's also where I received a private message from a grandson to open something and when I did four viruses by-passed my AVG protection program and that's when I finally decided to say good-by to Facebook. I'd like to stay current in technology but it's moving too fast and I refuse to text, have a blackberry or stick a phone in my ear so I can drive with both hands. I figure people, kids, grandkids friends know how to contact me if they have something to share and if they want to send photos there is email or Walgreen's where they can send them direct. I'm going back to pretending it's a nicer world than it actually is and appreciate what I have and not waste further thoughts on what isn't.
