Ha ha ha I just woke my munchkin up laughing hysterically, but seriously though you just have to see my child. I will post a video of the first time I caught him digging nuggets out of his diaper. It's rather entertaining.

I stopped using Facebook 3 years ago and I haven't been happier. If I wanna keep in contact with family/friends far away, I use iMessage or Whatsapp.

Bet this lady won't be so revealing on Facebook anymore, not to mention her choice of friends.

I saw a friend selling a can of Pepsi on facebook the other day
Price was $450. The can was sitting next to a pump shotgun!

People like you don't get many friends posting that crap, except maybe family ! I was like you not that long ago, until I started reading and sharing some very funny videos and jokes. Once you weed out people that are boring and posting things your not interested in, it can be quite amusing ! I use to knock it, then I tried it, it's not all that bad, and way more pics of Alberta fishing and hunting than I expected.

Default I am a user

I use face book every day........ I have my own personal reason for it.... I am not narcissistic.... In some ways it keeps me connected to certain family members who do not have any other means of communication that is cost effective to stay in touch.... it is a way for me to rant and vent even when no body gives a rats behind what I have to say but it is good therapy to get crap off my chest.... it's a good place to keep your friends close but your enemies even closer (lol).... and you learn things first hand.cause we all know if you read it on face book it has to be true RIGHT..................

I left a few forums because of their BS drama and the only way I am ale to stay in contact with the people I made actual connections with on those forums is thru my facebook page until I get my new phone and can add them to my contacts..........

Not just anyone makes it to my page..... I am pretty choosy lol lol lol lol OMG I am cracking myself up today

FB is goooood! It enables me to hook up with all the hotties from yesteryear.

The only issue I have is they aren't so hot these days and now they badger me without ceasing.

How do you stop these ogre like types from bothering you?

I hate FB!

Never used faceplant and never will.
Phone, Texting, email, Skype is more than enough for me to stay in contact with Family and Friends. Much prefer face to face meetings when possible.

Facebook Is About to Lose 80% of Its Users, Study Says
Facebook’s growth will eventually come to a quick end, much like an infectious disease that spreads rapidly and suddenly dies, say Princeton researchers who are using diseases to model the life cycles of social media.
Basically, Facebook users will lose interest in Facebook over time as their peers lose interest — if the model is correct. “Ideas, like diseases, have been shown to spread infectiously between people before eventually dying out, and have been successfully described with epidemiological models,” write the researchers.

You can check out the full study here.

When I was on it, I liked the fact that I could reconnect with old acquaintances.

Don't really miss it, though.

Apart from getting comments from friends and relatives who wonder why I didn't show up at certain functions that I had no clue about...

ROFL...that report was done two years ago. Meanwhile Facebook has increased from 1 billion active users to 1.5 billion active users since then. It aint going anywhere anytime soon.
