OK. I'm not saying Facebook is the anti-Christ. I'm just saying that it is creepy how it is uniting the whole world. And how so much of my personal information is out there even though I try to make my settings as private as possible. Someone in cyberspace has more information about me than I would share with a total stranger. But still I don't want to close my account. That's even weirder.
Since I've been on FB, here are some things that I've learned:
1. My ex-boyfriend is friends with a girl I knew when I was a teenager, who is also friends with said ex-boyfriend's ex-fiancee. (Doesn't that sound like a legal document?)
2. My husband's cousin knows my next-door neighbor. Turns out they were in choir and toured together in college.
3. A family friend of ours is married to a man who used to coach on a team who played the team my husband used to help coach.
4. My friend from church has a friend in Arkansas who is a mutual friend of my friend I met in Springfield.
I know that none of that is meaningful to you. But I am simultaneously awed and creeped out.

Me too-my husband deleted his account because he was so weirded out by it. I've been tempted, but I still have mine. I think for some people (not me) it's an addiction.
Addiction? Not me. No way. OK. Maybe. Besides it's cutting into my blog posting/reading time.
LOL- addiction- is that why I keep getting on?
Remember when it used to be talked about how everybody was connected to, was it Kevin Bacon? That doesn't sound right, but you know what I'm talking about, right? Now, all of OUR worlds are connected! Weird!
On the other hand, two of my great friends are connected and didn't know each other until the world of blogging. :)
