It's a Small World is probably ringing in my ears and we're desperately seeking rodents--not to exterminate them, but in hopes of getting autographs.
The oldest is joining us. I will have new pictures to post of him since most of the ones I've been using are 1-2 years old.
Life is good.
Question for you today:
This Face Book phenomenon.
Great way to reconnect.
Have you had requests from
people in your past that
you don't necessarily want to reconnect with?
OR
Have you had people "friend request" you
that makes the spouse uneasy?
OR
Has someone popped into your spouse's
group of "friends" that you'd rather not have there?

Just curious.
Glad to know the blogger scheduler really works. I was afraid to use it this morning 'cause I'm doing a giveaway but might next time!
ReplyDeleteAm using Facebook to post my blog and have also found a couple of old high school friends; but who are all these people who want to be added as your "friend" that you don't even know?
My husband has requested that I get rid of facebook.I think he is afraid his work people will find my personal stuff. (like pics of him in a girl hat ) lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't had too many problems with facebook, but then, I was on myspace a while back and had to close my account because I got tired of unsavory ex-types wanting to be friends and sending me messages. With facebook, it's been pretty easy to ignore requests and even unfriend people because they don't get a message about it, and for most people it's just a drop in the bucket anyway. What's interesting is the "relationships" I end up forming with unexpected people--like parents of friends who end up reading my blog. Even all of my neighbors are on facebook. It's kind of neat!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if there are specific people you don't want finding you, you can set it up so that you won't show up for them, or you can make it so that you don't show up at all in searches... You can tailor your privacy settings to your specific situation, and above commenter can make the pictures of her husband so that only friends can see. My husband worries about that stuff too when people tag pictures of him drinking. You can also "untag" pictures of yourself.
ReplyDeleteSo far I am loving Facebook. I have a quite a bit of people on my froends list I don't even know. lol I have gotten a request from someone I wish I hadn't.
ReplyDeleteI have people that I have friended that make me nervous. I have friends from church that I frankly wish I had never accepted their request. This has actually been an issue the past few days.
ReplyDeleteI don't think my hubby is worried about any of my FB friends, if you're talking about X boyfriends or anything like that. my hubby doesn't have his own FB account, but I did notice that he used mine to search for all of his x girlfriends. I'm trying to just take this as curiosity and not not be worried about it.
oh how fun that you're in the states, playing and having fun! hope you *do* have fun and enjoy time with son #1
ReplyDeletei LOVE FB. i think that it is great to reconnect with the old ones in your life. i've only banned one person from being my friend b/c i am of the frame of mind that you should actually *know* the people you become friends w/ on FB...not just know their name, or think that somewhere in the recesses of your mind, that person seems familiar to you....so i'm loving it and in fact, on saturday we had some of my college friends that i had hooked up with on FB come down and hang with us for the evening. it was splendid! can't wait to do it again!
It's taken me a while to catch up on your blog, since I've been MIA for so long. Lots of things happening with you & your family!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so yes. You've hit the nail on the proverbial head. It's one of the reasons I just don't do facebook much. I'm still trying to hide from certain people... Of course, for all I know, there are people who feel the same about me.
Hmmm! What a quandary!
Are you going to be visiting New Mexico? Email me if you're going to be within five hours of me & I'll drive over to see you if I can! You know. Because in West Texas, we're five hours from everywhere...
I've only removed one person from my FB friend list. It just happened to be my son's father, the ex.
ReplyDeleteEverything with him was hunky dory, until he signed up for the 'Love Me Tender, Love Me True, But F*** Me Hard' group - no way did I want our son to see that!
so add me as a friend already...
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any negative issues with Facebook. There is only one ex I'd have an issue with if my husband friended/got friended and that's his ex-wife (no kids, no contact). I've got one ex-boyfriend he'd probably rather I not friend. I was curious so I searched and both my ex and his are on Facebook but it seems none of us are interested in contacting the other so it's all good.
ReplyDeleteI do have a former friend who was contacted by an old flame and then they both ditched their spouses and are now married. Huge mess.
Oh yay! you're in the states. I presume you're in the state next door to me, or did you do the big Disney themepark in FL? Either way, I hope you're having a wonderful time!! So glad you get to see your son and spend some time with him.
ReplyDeleteFacebook. I get on there so rarely, it's usually not an issue for me. I was able to finally hook up with an old buddy from middle school through FB, so that was awesome. I'd been sorta' looking for her forever. And I did kind of search for a few of my old crushes. Just out of curiosity. Didn't turn up much though.
Safe and happy travels! I am still pondering my FB persona...and now I'm going to go see who my husband has as friends!
ReplyDeleteI love FB. At first, I was annoyed because so many requests came in from local friends I see regularly, but now it's nice to see their pix and read a quick blurb.
ReplyDeleteI have reconnected with people I thought I had no interest in talking to again. Pleasant surprises there. Some of the reconnections are simply wonderful and would not have happened otherwise :)
Now off to "find" you via fb.
Funny you should mention facebook, I just tried to find you there! I hope you are having a WONDERFUL time on vacation.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Carolynn
I've only had one incident involving someone from my past wanting to contact me.. She wrote, remember me, I'm Duane's sister, you used to pick on me in school...
ReplyDeleteThe pro of FB is that you can pick and choose who you want to be friends with, the con, so can everybody else. =)
Yes. Yes. Not yet.
ReplyDeleteI ignore the ones I don't want to connect with. I've learned how to Hide the ones I regret becoming friends with.
My Hunny and I talked about the ones which make him uneasy. He knows me pretty well, though. Doesn't keep tabs on it, and I tell him about ongoing conversations.
FaceCrack is a serious time waster, but I'm addicted. *sigh*
Hope you're having a fantastic time!
Well, my husband has connected with his old fiance, and the guy who I used to think I was going to marry found me. I'm not too worried, though.
ReplyDeleteI AM thrilled, though, about finding a dear friend from 17 years ago. I never thought I'd hear from her again.
Have a great time at Disneyland/world. I wish I was there, too. :)
Have fun in the US!
ReplyDeleteI left you an award on my blog! Come by and get it when you can!
