Facebook, I'm addicted!

I like Facebook, a lot. I first joined when my Sister in Law said, "you should join, it's fun and you get to be in touch with a lot of people". So I joined, and immediately was hooked. My favorite thing about Facebook is the games. They do have some great games. Bejeweled Blitz is my ultimate favorite. I cannot seem to stop playing that one. I have played many others, but when the game becomes a chore, like Farmtown, FarmVille, etc., I stop playing it. One other important reason I am on it, is to see what my children are up to. I've actually had to teach them manners and social etiquette in the use of Facebook. I don't worry about the privacy issues. Facebook has the settings you need to control most of your information. Every so often I go though my account privacy settings and adjust them. When you get down to it, the minute you log on to any website, someone is tracking your traffic. The only way to have total privacy on the internet is not to go on the internet at all. And we all know that is hard for our generation and the next. I've tried to give up Facebook, but it only lasted 2 weeks. I do enjoy reading what everybody is doing and not doing. I enjoy wishing Happy Birthday to my Facebook friends. I've even made a friend on Facebook. Oh, I have 129 friends on F.B., but I knew them all before joining F.B. Overall Facebook is not that bad. It is nice connecting with your high school friends, family, co-workers and especially your children. Seeing where everyone is in their lives. It reinforces the fact, that you're not the only one with problems. Everyone has their ups and downs. I have learned to "not spend too much time on F.B.", I get in and get out. When I have a little more time, I play Bejeweled Blitz. I am ranked #1 amongst 24 friends who play Bejeweled Blitz. My advice, if you don't want another habit, don't join. But if you have a lot of self control, go ahead, try it, you'll like it. And if you're a fellow Facebookie already, see you on the Book.
