Damn. And I was just getting ready to invite you to play The Tribez.
Well, apparently we were so 
right back. (Actually I find you to be a rather frustrating FB friend because you always posted commentary about restaurants nowhere near me and then I have to go all day dreaming about luscious barbecue or whatever and not having it. Torture.)
My conversations on FB are almost universally awesome. I was merely commenting on why a hypothetical other person might not find it to be so.
Amen to that!
It’s easier to just pick up the phone!
Relevant Facebook help. After clicking on that link, click on the “let us know” link (end of the second paragraph of the aforementioned help), and you’ll be taken to a “Delete my account” dialog box.
Had an abacus, but trashed it for purer pursuits.
Disagree. :(I hate phones. I still, BION, write letters:) and send emails. FB is for the pictures of grandkids and old friends. Phones are intrusive and I screen all calls.
I just reactivated my FB account after a 2 year gap and am already regretting it. I made the mistake the first time of friending family. And so I can’t really be myself with them and their fundamentalism stinking up my page. And this second time I compounded the mistake by posting that I was back. I should have quietly unfriended all of them before posting anything so that they’d never know I’d come back. Then I could just have the folks I like spamming me.
You do know you can screen their posts and restrict access to your wall, right?
Most of my Facebook friends are astronomers, engineers, or geeks of some other kind. I also belong to a couple of groups that notify me to news stories that are relevant to my job. The few friends I have who do not fall into either geek or news categories are generally family, and they post cute pictures of their kids. My Facebook feed is awesome.
I’m not going to lie, I don’t really use Facebook to “keep up” with anybody - if anything, there are some people (family and friends) who I know better on FB than in real life, and I do check it too often (usually 2-3 times a day), but nothing’s perfect and it makes for a good distraction when work gets too stressful.
