Who knows - I hear far worse on a daily basis.

You must use a name by which you are usually known in the real (proper) world. This may not necessarily be the name on your birth certificate, obviously.

But Facebook will investigate if it is flagged up that you are deliberately using a fake name and can (and do) ask for physical proof that you are who you say you are.

As (misguidedly) stated by some, you could indeed use a fake name but you would be in breach of the site's rules.

I'm addicted to FB but, like Maggie, I use another name and choose all of my friends carefully.

It's a great way of keeping in touch with overseas family as well as family nearer to home. Good fun when used sensibly!

:-D :-D

I thought when you de-activated your account it would be
still there if you joined again, apparently not, tried it and it
wants all info again :-(

I use FB as you do Stella...it's the only way I know what's going on with family and friends...I rarely post anything myself,unless it's a sunset or something,but I have contacted some old friends ,,and it has helped a bit with family history..another benefit is Messenger and you can talk to friends who have it just like a phone...and it's free .Its the way I talk to one son in Oz now!

I use Facebook mainly to see the photos and videos of my grandchildren..things i would normally miss as i don't see a lot of them

You choose who you want to see your page.. just your friends or the whole world..lol

Give it a try, and as Joy says.. you can always de-activate your account if you do not like it. :-D
