When I joined Facebook 5 years ago, it wasn't a place to connect with past friends, just current ones. Then, I moved to grad school and I could keep up with my friends from college. I don't like Facebook as much as I did, probably because my relationships have grown as I have. Still, it's the best way to communicate with many of my friends!<br /><br />So, obviously you're in a different place than me, so I wouldn't push you towards it at all!Ronnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242687458315186709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-30377795078166569792009-09-24T05:44:23.837-07:002009-09-24T05:44:23.837-07:00The thing that pushed me over the edge into joinin...The thing that pushed me over the edge into joining was when I realized that my friends and family members knew what was going on in Sarah's life before I did. They would call and ask...why is Sarah so happy or why did Sarah have a bad day? So I got an account to know what was going on. I found it is a fun way to keep in touch with distant friends. I think I only have one friend from long ago on there...and she was my friend long before the agony of Jr High...on up. (I must admit I spend too much time on there though)<br /><br />P.S... I think your story is extremely common. I didn't enjoy a healthy social life until being roommates with you and "the gang", but we sure made up for lost time. ...And I refuse to attend any class reunions.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-30301715006678015952009-09-23T20:44:09.367-07:002009-09-23T20:44:09.367-07:00I won't try to convert you.

It's really only good to keep up with people who are far away who you can't reach conveniently any other way. And if you don't want to/need to, then don't. I can already tell you that I won't keep up with most of the kids from High School for the rest of my life on facebook. I haven't even scanned the Austria facebook pics. I mean, I have my own. Why waste time on artificial relationships? <br />Anyway, sorry it's still hot in AZ! I hope everything is going well with you!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940193140033260260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-61774517995467840252009-09-23T19:17:29.627-07:002009-09-23T19:17:29.627-07:00I will tell you that I am on facebook but do not u...I will tell you that I am on facebook but do not understand the whole concept - I never post - Well, except when I got hacked and it told everyone in my ward I was Preggo (still not true.) It does remind me a little of high school - do I accept this friend or not....but it is nice to see what my kids are up to. <br /><br />I respect your reasons and think you can do what you want!! Really what difference will it ever make? Save the time to up date your blog - I love that!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371527018787974580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-12851101246939807942009-09-23T17:47:48.344-07:002009-09-23T17:47:48.344-07:00Hey, if you're not into the whole FB thing, I&...Hey, if you're not into the whole FB thing, I'm cool with that. Truth is, I'm not all that into it myself. <br /><br />I'd much rather blog, any day!<br /><br />=)<br /><br />PS. I consider myself lucky to be your friend, on FB or off. (And I have a feeling that would have been true in high school, too.) Except that I would have been in high school and you would have been in grade school, lol. So maybe we would have had to settle for babysitter and babysittee. =)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-62564998009899777692009-09-23T16:10:43.908-07:002009-09-23T16:10:43.908-07:00P.S.

You're also correct that you have awesome friends now, and some of us are on Facebook, and we would not only accept you as our friend on FB, but send you the request! Think of the joy that would bring :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622323916578416876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-76670972977976538982009-09-23T16:05:26.423-07:002009-09-23T16:05:26.423-07:00hmmmmm....sounds totally logical to me, and wise-n...hmmmmm....sounds totally logical to me, and wise-not surprised at that! One day, a child of yours--maybe not until Lily--but one of them I'm sure will want to be on Facebook, and then you will need to monitor. Until then I vow to never ask you why you don't Facebook! For me the push was when my niece went to teach in China and could only get FB to upload her photos, and I wanted to see and stay in contact with her. Now I love it. Until that day comes for you just hit the "ignore" button when people ask!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622323916578416876noreply@blogger.com
