I actually clicked on this to tease you a bit about the Twitter ;-) but you've already caught yourself. I’ve always been a “networker” so I love Facebook and Twitter.

I cannot figure out for the life of me how someone is so busy that they cannot get together for coffee but can spend hours pouring over Facebook! "I'm heading to kick boxing now" I DON'T CARE!! When will this end?? I think in 2 or 3 years everyone will be so over stretched and overconnected and into everyones personal business that there will be a revolt. I'll be in the front of that line behind you! This is late, but I am so there with you on this one!

As a busy mom I don't have two hours a day to sit and keep up with people who knew me when I had braces, stonewashed jeans, and ugly glasses. I agree, I have my friends that I keep in touch with, but I have NO desire to be on a social networking site. A few of my friends and brothers just don't understand why. I have email, I have two phones, and the people I'm friends with know how to reach me. I'm not an ogre, I'm just a private person who doesn't feel like I need to put every bit of my life out there for long ago aquaintances to know. My children are gorgeous -- but I don't need to post every picture of them. If I want to share photos, I'll send a link in a private email. I don't text and most of the time my cell's ringer is off. Maybe that's so Y2K -- but, oh well, (ok, I sound like Andy Rooney). One of my closest and oldest friends is the total opposite. She is obsessed with Facebook and about 3 to 4 times a week she's calling or emailing sharing some bit of gossip about high school people (it gets old...). Do I care who had an affair or who had "work done" -- honestly, no! She'll say, oh, but it's so fun just to know what people are doing. I could care less. Mostly it just seems like a gossip circuit (at least for the people I know). I went to college, lived and traveled all over the world, I married and now I have two wonderful children and husband. I don't feel like I need people to know everything about me via Facebook. Although I could, I don't feel the need to boast about various parts of my life. If it serves a purpose for someone, that's great, but honestly, I think as a society we've become way to dependent on the Internet and other technologies to make social connections (ok, more Andy Rooney). I can't be in a room with two of my brothers unless they are texting. Again, if someone likes a social networking site -- great. But I'm not interested. Is email the new rotary phone?

I remember you from high school. You were so great! I really hope we can catch up" .... huh? did you forget that you hated me and called me all the names under the sun? So the long and short of it is that all those old people popping up from the woodwork need to stay there!

I know you from here or there!" You know, if they really were worth knowing and remembering we would be friends even now, they wouldn't have to search the net or Faceboook to track me down LOL LOL it’s not just you, I HATE people popping up on Facebook, “Oh, I know you from high school.

Link me and we'll play Scrabble one day. It may take a few days to complete a game depending on how much time we are actually on the computer but we will get one finished. I hope you have a wonderful week. Michelle :) I love Facebook!
