General Chat

Don't go AnnC - I enjoy your occasional input to FB. Always makes me laugh :-D

And Errol, it's a great way of keeping in touch with your offspring when you rarely see them. ;-) :-D

nice one Wend :-D :-D :-D :-D

As an extended family, we plan holidays on FB (through personal messaging) Much easier than sending e-mails.

Though, when we went camping, as my sister had spoken to me about it - she didn't include me in the messaging :-P
Had to get one of my daughters to 'include' me :-S

Wend - or one could do what I do and make the time to see them and spend time with them and actually talk face to face - had a great day out with my daughter last week.

I have Faceache, but there's very little on there about me.

I joined years ago, when my niece went overseas. I'm now following a nephew on his travels in the US.

Most of the younger ones in our family have Facebook, and I'm often surprised/shocked at the information they post....... including photographs of their children, for all the world to see.

Friend requests? If I don't know them, I ignore them.

I love Facebook. It's wonderful to be able to keep in touch with what's going on with the young people I have taught over the years.

It does sound like you've been hacked, Ann.

I am on FB under a pseudonym as I was very reluctant to join at first, so my friend requests are very few and far between. I have kept my contacts to under 60 at the moment.

As with much else, if it is used sensibly and carefully, FB is great. :-D

and still they roll in :-( :-( :-( :-(

Facebook send you recommendations of people they think that you might want to be friends with. These people might be friends of friends. Or they might be people who live nearby or who have similar interests. ;-)

I don't know anyone in China or Vietnam :-S

Errol, that is insinuating that ?Wend doesn't make time to see her family. You don't know that. I don't see mine as much as I like, mainly because they all live from 2 to 4 hours drive away. Yes we make the 'effot' to see them as much as we can, however, most of them don't either make the effort or don't have the time in their busy lives to make the effort to see us. So facebook is great for keeping in touch with them all.

well said Ann

Well - I also get messages from "friends" on Facebook most days and I am not on Facebook and never have been :-S

Of course I cannot read them unless I sign up !!!

i only really stay there because my son posts pictures and videos of the grandchildren almost everyday, i only keep 18 friends on there who i could, if i wished stay in contact with elsewhere.
I just enjoy the daily updates on the grandchildren... :-)

I Love Facebook :-D

Yes, well said Ann. I happened to see my youngest daughter last evening, my eldest daughter last weekend and I shall be seeing my son on Monday. We are all very close and see eachother as much as possible. In between times, I also chat to them on Facebook :-D

It's fine to be able to 'make time to see and spend time' with loved ones - if they are near enough and one is well enough! If that isn't the case, then FB is a wonderful way to stay in touch.


My son and family have gone on holiday today, but I know I will get to know and see what they are up to and that they are okay.


It's also a great way to stay in touch with friends from on here who have now left this site. :-D

Ann Cardiff, wasn't it you who said to Wend 'nice one Wend'? :-S

sure looked to me like all the insinuating was being done by somebody who wasn't Errol Sheep ...

I don't usually have any notion what's going on when I look at this board from time to time, but sometimes things are just a little plain on their face

No need to stir the pot.

and still the flippin' things keep coming!!! :-( :-(
