How do you know when you are getting older?

Greyson · 03-10-2011, 02:38 PM

I knew I was older when I decided I did not care to have a Facebook account. I just could not get into reporting what I had for breakfast or my family members "friending" me. I mean really after all these years, now they want to be friends?

I resisted for awhile. But, I did it....Does still make me wonder why people I don't know wanna be my friend....I ignore them....I found the privacy setting very helpful.

I do see your point. But my preference for my FB is to reserve it for folks I know in real time, for the most part. The beauty of FB is I can control who sees my life. There are even folks I know in real time that clash personality wise, I don't add. On-line friendships can be friends on site like these and just as rewarding.

ahh yes.. FB ....... i hear ya there..... i do too get some friendship request.. from people well i never heard of before... and not even mutual friends... and even if we do have some same friends.... if we never chat often.. then i know we wont be chatting at all on FB either.....
i think some want to friend you , so they can have more nieghbors and gifts for farmville, city ville or what ever ville... which i dont play any of them anymore, got burnt out on them.... i do how ever play scrabble thats about it. .. and i dont do the giving out hearts or hugs.. or what ever cuz , it require's you to load applications and it wants all your personal info..... NOO THank Uuu.. there are plenty of other ways to do that with out .. it.
or how about .. someone you do know... and you know they dont like you , then 1 day want to friend you on FB.. whats up with that?? sillies..
i have family on there and old old school mates i have yet to reunite with..
i idont tolerate, BS on there... cussing, sexual gestures , etc... hell I deleated one of my brothers yesterday cuz of some rude comments he made on my wall, with his ignorant attitude.
now i just started a new FB page for my art work... stil learning how to work it.. to where i can advertise it.. mean time i just keep painting and posting it there.. lol

You know you are getting older when...

You go on a road trip and you stop at almost every rest stop...just in case... cuz there might not be another for a really long time.

I know that feeling quite well! I finally did a facebook page to see if I could connect with old friends. Then all of a sudden here's all this family that couldn't be bothered with me when my wife was alive and now that she's passed it's like, oh look, we can be family with him again, screw em, I added them and now don't use it, lol. I might check it once every 2 weeks or so.

Jess · 03-10-2011, 05:59 PM

I finally started using mine too...added old school friends...added family ( some of whom I haven't seen since they were children) and now spend half the time I am on "X" ing their posts because of content I don't associate or agree with. Eh... we try to keep the peace and enlighten where possible and yes, practice,practice,practice the ignore/privacy feature! LOL!

I know what you mean. I pulled mine and my My Space a while back...had them because of some community work I was doing...way too many people trying to "friend" me.

Recently an old friend twisted my arm into setting up another FB account. This time nobody will find me, not even me it seemed for a while there...cuddlyfemme and I are still giggling over that one!

You know you have gotten older when you and kid sit down to watch her favorite movie when she was little..."Heidi" She says "Mom. what is wrong with the TV?" Nothing......It was in Black and white.
