I know not all of you use FB..and I don't use it the way I used to..because it always seems to be the same people posting the same kind of stuff . I do however make a brief pitstop there everyday. One of my FB "friends" I just wished happy birthday to She is almost my exact age and I am pretty sure she went to the same university, but other than that I don't know anything about her .I am not sure how she ended up on my list, but she has been there a long time..so I'm keeping her

I don’t know most well. I joined solely to see pictures of my nieces and nephew. When I’d ask for a picture back when they first adopted Amyra, my sister would tell me to get a Facebook account. So I did. I do use it to wish people happy birthday, and I’ll periodically scroll through what else is happening.

Like you, I'm the FB pitstopper . There are less than a handful of folks that I don't know in person (but I got to know them online before adding them). The rest are family and friends - I suppose a good many are those that I used to know more about in the past.

I thought she lived in Florida. I just checked her profile she does The question is..how did she end up on my friend's list? Maybe it was a suggestion

@much2say If I get a friend request, the first thing I do is immediately check to see if they are a scammer if they have no friends or history and few pics on their profile..it is a pretty good indication.

@snowy22315 I know my husband has accidentally sent friend requests or accepted people through his phone . . . suggestions and such look kinda different on the phone compared to desktop version (that's all I use).

Most people on Facebook do not know me that well besides my former colleagues at the pizza parlor where I used to work.

I wouldn't say that most on the list know me well outside of a few people..but some know me as an acquaintance..or a cousin that keeps her distance.

I picked up dozens of new friends when we all wrote on the same website. Unfortunately I don't know much personal information about them; but they're all nice people. I still wish them Happy Birthday and keep them as friends. Have a good week.

I deleted my account several years ago. Somebody insulted me by telling me to quote "Lay off the caffeine lady" I refused to stay and get insulted. I was in my first manic phase that lasted for months. i never even knew the person who insulted me before he insulted me that hurt me so badly for somebody to say something like that without knowing all the circumstances. if a person can't say something nice then don't say something at all!

Some of my family contacts I find disturbing because they are Trump supporters. Politics shouldn't divide us, but sadly it does.

I don't use it much but it's handy to keep up with this one and that. The village has an FB account too which is useful.

I deactivated my Facebook account last year and don’t plan to reactivate it anytime soon. My life feels more peaceful without it. LOL

I have not been active in facebook for almost 5 years now. The people who connected with me , 99% I know them personally but the 1% is mostly friends of friends , some of them whom I personally not even seen or heard of. However, since whatever they wrote or shared was harmless in nature , I continued the facebook association. Plus , I also saw my netwrok of people being less active since last 6 years. It is rarely they post things nowadays in facebook. Most of them are sharing things in WhatsApp or Telegram. Well, good know to your thoughts. Have a great weekend!
