Face Book

A whole new world.
For many years I had a minimal presence on facebook. Now because my son is planning to move this summer I am trying to do more on it so I can see more pictures etc. once they move.
There are all kinds of groups. I'm still learning about posting and levels of privacy and how things work. I guess it is more complicated since I haven't done it, should get easier I hope. Caught up with some friends from years ago.
There are all kinds of interesting people there!!

Lucille has been assimilated.

The alien pods have taken over her body, and mind.

So far I like most of my fellow pods just like I like most people here. But I found one drama llama, and just decided he was just having too much fun being a llama and so I stopped talking to him.
There are lots of specialty groups with really helpful people.
If you are a pod too, send me a friendship request

I did create an account several years ago. I felt, that of the two choices I had, joining was the best option. The other was being cut off from news about my cousins, nieces and nephews, and their kids. They're all working, and a couple are in college too, so Farcebook is the best way to reach everyone at once.

My husband and I are private people, and don't like our "business" out there, even if it's just trivial stuff. We used to be active in rescue dog transport from other states, so it was a good way to coordinate with other drivers.

Sigh . . . I'll send you a friend request.

Thank you fellow pod

Unfortunately neither my body nor my mind has improved particularly in the last few weeks so I guess the pods are not much better than the unpodded people still left in the world.

Unfriending. I did it today.

I had requested one of the ladies in the houseplant group as a friend. She has amazing plants and good ideas about plant keeping. I guess though that when you are friends with someone you get all the stuff they post? I started getting political posts about sensitive subjects like abortion. It is not that I won't discuss such issues, but the kind of posts being sent too often reflected an intolerance for any other viewpoint.

You can add people as friends and then "unfollow" them. That way you can still send messages easily and tag them, but whatever they post doesn't end up on your wall.

Pretty much like anything else, It can be very useful or very wasteful! My kids scattered all over. Most of the people in my friends list are relatives or long time friends. I rarely stay in a group for long because they eventually turn to drama. Don't want or need that. Also don't care if you love or hate the president.Don't care if your a gun nut or a bleeding heart. Use it for your own good and it's fine.
