I was really sceptical but I signed up anyway just in case old friends were looking for me. Much to my surprise a long lost cousin contacted me. The last time I saw her I was around four years old and she was in a playpen. It's been fun catching up. Then last night a girl I used to babysit for sent me a message. The family attended my church so I have seen the parents over the years but not the girls. She is 39 now with 3 kids. Am I old or what?? Anyhoo, now I am glad I signed up. It seems to be a lot safer than MySpace.

My stepson talked me into signing up for Facebook a couple of months ago.
I have 64 friends on it now. I have my brother's children on it, there are people we talk to on a regular basis in our town and other friends that have moved away that either tracked me down or I found them again.
What is so cool about it is the 2 old friends I have gotten in contact with that I haven't talked to in years. I went to the wedding of one of them 2 weekends ago and we are going to their house tonight to visit. My other friend and I have met for coffee a couple of times since getting in touch and we talk each others ear off on the phone on a regular basis. I lost a major part of my life when I lost contact with those 2 girlfriends and it is so wonderful to have them back in my life again.

Message: I'm on Facebook but I don't have too many friends on there. I guess nobody is looking for me. I haven't visited too much lately but this post has inspired me to go on there more.

Heck, I just got a Myspace a few months ago (at the insistance of my kids so they could buy and SELL me. LOL). Haven't thought to add Facebook. I do have a LOT of Marine parents on my Myspace now though. And I "found" my second son who I haven't seen in about 8 years on there. I cried when I found it. He was my BABY for a LONG time (and only 3 when my ex took him to live with him in Illinois). I had talked to the other two of my older kids over the years but kinda lost track of him after he went into the Marines. Last time I saw him, he was 18. He's grown up so much since then.
I mostly just play games on there though and share pics.

Message: Thanks to our granddaughters' wanting me to, I got a Facebook page. I haven't been there in awhile and this post reminded me I should probably check it out. I have no desire to spend much time there. I have more than plenty to do online without adding something else to the mix. I can see where it would be fun though. I have been to Shirla's and she has everything but the kitchen sink on hers. :-)

Message: I love it! I found a couple of my great friends from high school that I haven't talked to in years. It's been so great re-connecting with them.

I like it a lot better than MySpace too. I have both. I rarely go to the MySpace anymore though. I just keep it up because I am trying to find someone - well, I found the person, but they haven't been back on their MySpace since I got on. So, I just check in every so often to see if they have checked my site. I put some pictures up for them to see.

I have a Facebook account. (I call it ''facelift'') The only trouble is I can never remember how to sign in. I can only get there if Shirla tells me how to do it. I think she writes on my wall or something. I haven't been to it in ages! Lol, guess it's time for Shirla to write something on my wall.

Message: I look at my niece's site once in a while when she puts new pictures up, but I have no interest in signing up myself. I get emails once in a while telling me people are looking for me at Classmates.com, but since I don't pay them I can't get the emails. It's never anyone I want to hear from, anyway. LOL.
