No. I have family members on FB and mostly interact with them. And they’re all sane. No wacky religious or political beliefs. No anti-vaxxers. They don’t share spurious links. That’s about the extent of my FB activities.

Why do you think you felt the need to share? It’s a truly ordinary screen-name.

Now if your name was **squidfuckerjollyroger** , then maybe I’d have a passing interest in the meaning of your name. 😃

As it stands…zero points mate.

Facebook Jolly Junkie?  
I have a sad anonymous FB account. No friends, no activity. Opened it years ago, don’t ever use it.

I’m actually in a self-imposed Facebook Detox right now. At noon it will be 4 days without looking at it. I planned to go until August 1, but I might go back tomorrow because my husband will be on his fishing trip and I’d like to see his updates. But I will scale down like a mofo and dedicate a certain time each day for looking at it, rather than every-freakin-time my eyes need something to do.

I’m an internet junkie in general and facebook is one of the places I hang out. I feel I need to cut down on the time I spend and am fighting the urge to post on facebook about this…

Marketplace on NPR mentioned a recent study of the use of Facebook.
