And all because I disagreed with her on something. <br /><br />Oh, well.

I keep in touch with the 3 people from school that I intend to...would we have lost touch if they were that important?<br /><br />My thoughts on the moms in the parking lot at school... I see them, too. I've had those moms try to suck me in, just so they can be catty and include me in their gossip. I didn't join my kid in preschool to make friends, and I don't have time to keep up with the few friends I do have... those moms don't matter. Now I just smile and say 'Hi' and keep my 2 year-old and I moving right along. WHO HAS TIME to stand in the parking lot for 10 minutes gossiping about other moms or who's divorcing whom?Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-82188630023717385162009-05-17T09:38:00.000-04:002009-05-17T09:38:00.000-04:00I protested FB for the longest and now basically u...I protested FB for the longest and now basically use it as a promotional tool. Every single one of my friends found ME first...I dont look for people. It is nice that I have connected with long lost high school/college friends and relatives. I am enjoying it. I am by no means an addict. And I do not notice if I lose friends. I dont even know how many I have. Is that bad?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529744688470910218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-23392405644952187592009-05-15T14:57:00.000-04:002009-05-15T14:57:00.000-04:00FB has given me an opportunity to reconnect with p...FB has given me an opportunity to reconnect with people I have not talked to in years - that is both good and bad of course and while I am much like you in that once you are added - I just dont drop you off - I have often wondered about why I keep people I never talk to in my FB...<br /><br />Why do we do the things we do afterall?<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Wait.

I have a lot of FB friends and even with a lot I consistently notice when people disappear. Because I've got a pretty good idea who my friends are it's not that hard for me to figure out who disappeared. Sometimes I don't even care because we weren't close to begin with, but there have been a few times when I've wondered what was going on.<br />I've stopped worrying about it though, because SO MANY people are deleting FB altogether because of what you mentioned - the largest growing number of people joining FB is people over 35. For people in my generation, that means employers and older family members, including parents. A lot of my 20something friends would rather delete their FB than be monitored by their boss or their parents...especially since that's not what they signed up for when they joined. FB was the alternative to Myspace.<br />Just my thoughts :) Sorry for rambling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-34450172182425190102009-05-15T14:05:00.000-04:002009-05-15T14:05:00.000-04:00I'm not a big user of Facebook, either.
