facebook

.

I can't tell you how many years it has been that I have been looking for that facebook. I left my face in it and I kinda want it back.

Oh Gotwood, your eyes....

I just finally "got with it" on Facebook today! So far I am "friends" with luvbb, URKillingMeBlue, lafmom, and Bighit15.

Playbaseball,
Was he really that cute?

Knew there would be more websters out there!

I'm on... search for "Jon Doyle"

Look! A fish facebook.

We added a group on Facebook - I hope this works! It's kind of fun!

I just became the 2nd member (behind you!) of that group.

That poor 'other' Julie on Facebook from MN I invited to be my "friend" 2-3 weeks ago. Probably thinks I'm some kind of Calif. weirdo!

"Thinks?..."

Too good a lead in to be ignored...

justbaseball the stalker.

Tom, LOL! Was it a Julie Sigfrinius from Minnesota? She would be my husband's 2nd cousin's wife...about 10 years younger than me, and WAY cuter!



Julie

TD that is REALLY funny!

Ok looking for the HSBBW on facebook is easier, glad I got us the hook up.

TPM,

I'm glad you suggested this, but ... don't we all already waste too much time here, LOL? Now we will never get anything done!

Your point?...

Bulldog,

Julie,

That would probably be her. Tell her I'm sorry.

My children forbid me to do Facebook.

I know that is turned around......

Switched my profile picture over there.. now it should be easy to figure out who I am

Justbaseball got me into facebook, my dughter set it up for me as I had no clue. Then they changed it and I gave up, but now just getting back into it.

I love it as it puts a face to the name and found old friends, even my kids friends!

Playbaseball, just don't let your daughter be your friend.

This all sounds like mid-life crisis to me!

Mid-life? My mid-life crisis hit me in 1979. Actually this is a well orchestrated infiltration by the older conservatives to divert today's younger generation and their brilliant minds into the workforce --- ultimately making our retirement more enjoyable.

This sounds so exciting...I described my search to the librarian and after she stopped laughing and composed herself she sent me over here...this is the section to find all you guys...right?

HS Baseball Web on facebook:

I had been thinking of signing up for sometime now and you guys helped push me....well, it only took a nudge....to get me to do it.

Great to see all the folks at the HSBBW group site as well!

I'm in and it's really great to put faces to names that I have been reading for years. I guess this means that I'm going to have to take a pic and put on my profile.

My gosh, you guys. My kids would really kill me if I did this. I'm going to have to get up the nerve to tell them first, then I'll join.

Any help on what to tell them? Please post here!

Thanks!

no11,

Tell them that some really old people pleaded with you to join and discuss cures for arthritis and senility. Then tell them that some really old people asked you to help discuss cures for senility.

Tell them:

1. You won't ask them to be your friend (i.e. you won't see their stuff)
2. You won't send friend requests to their peers/people their age

With that criteria my sons are fine with it. (I am friends with my sons, one was fine with it the other became fine with it after a little persuasion. )
If they think you are doing it to "check up on them and their friends" then they think you are a stalker mom/dad.

MN and Cheapseats,

A great start. I'll find some time when they'll actually listen to me, and start the process. It will take some time, I'm sure!

Any other ideas, please let me hear 'em as I know I will have a lot of persuasion ahead of me.

no11,

Your kids won't know if you're on FB if you don't tell them, don't friend them, and don't tag them in the pictures of them you put up. Kids keep secrets from their parents, and we should do the same!

I was a big bah humbugger of the whole MySpace and Facebook stuff thinking it was only for teens or twenty somethings until I found out some people I went to high school with were on there. I checked it out one night and found a bunch of people I hadn't talked to in years and reconnected with them. Same thing for people I went to college with.

I guarantee if you join and search for people you went to school with you will find them.

Well I violate a lot of those rules of the road.

* I am "friends" with many of my kids' friends (nice kids...I like to keep up with them and they don't have to accept if they think I'm being nosy...one, who is recording music even dropped off his CD at Christmas for ME, not my son).
* My own kids are my friends too (the older ones know how to hide what they need to hide...I'm ok with that).
* Having a HS-aged kid on FB requires me to be on FB and them to be my "friend"...thats the law in my house!
* I'm also "friends" with a number of kids I used to coach...and their parents too. They drop me nice notes from time-to-time...I like that!

A teacher once told me that he was terrified to be on FB. I can understand that and I wouldn't either if I were him. So we just stay "friends" by email and face-to-face stuff. My sister (a HS teacher) IS on FB, but lets her students know she will accept no friend requests from them.

It all works if you stay within your own comfort zone.

no 11, you'd be surprised....my son's friends have asked me to join their page

I guess I'm lucky; my son never cared that I was his friend on MySpace and I'm pretty sure he'll accept my friend request on facebook. (He was at practice so likely hasn't made it home yet to log on...I'll keep saying that if the okay doesn't come through

BUT, your facebook is about your friends and interest, not your kids.
I'm with coach2709, you can hook up with old friends and same interest folks and have enjoyable conversations

I'm looking forward to being friends with folks here just to see what's going on and getting to know them better.
