facebook

justbaseball - I am "friends" with several of my kids friends but I let them be the one to send the friend request to me. I have also found that most college kids are more likely to friend an adult than high school kids...amazing what an extra year or two of maturity can do. College kids look at it as a way to connect, high school kids are chatting on facebook with those they see every day in the halls at school.

My kids are friends of mine too, but I do stay low profile. I didn't require them to be a friend, only suggested that it was a good idea if they wanted to keep their cell phones which I pay for.

Yep! You got that right. Same thing here on the HS vs. college friends.

I forgot to mention...

I also "tag" my kids with cute embarrassing photos from their younger childhood.

justbaseball,

You are a perfect Dad!

.

I just don't know about this whole Facebook thing...

Come on, gotwood....it's the 90's...get on board, would ya!

.

You know papi...it's plenty cozy in here. I think I'll just stay put.

.

I packed a half dozen or so boxes of these in my suitcase before I started my trip. They came in real handy!

I don't know what you're afraid of 20dad. All I know is I've looked and looked down here and I haven't found your face or your book. I think they're messin' with us.

When I originally joined a few months ago, I did so under the name of the character from my favorite movie. My daughter immediately said "I don't befriend people that are fake" as a way to avoid my friend request. My son immediately accepted. Daughter texts son because she's positive he doesn't realize it's mom. He did. The difference a few years of maturity can make.

I eventually came out of the closet and put my real name on there. Since that time, my daughter befriended me along with her boyfriend and several friends. I think the key is to not facebook "creep" to much. You can't repeat what you see on their page very often or it reminds them you're around!

.

Well naturally people would not believe that this is me...crumby or creepy or both?

I have to tell you one of the sad(?) things for me on FB is that I look at the list of those on FB from my HS graduating class and don't recognize many names at all.

My storage device is either getting smaller or discarding old information the older I get...or the wiring is starting to fail?

Anyone else experiencing this?

.

Wiring failing? Yup...I've got the same problem.

Ok. I'll play too. Larry Robins.

My experience with looking for HS friends was that I looked at the very first picture and thought "oh, I guess they include teachers that were there as well" since the person appeared to be much older than I could possibly look! Then as I continued to scan the pictures I realized how much everyone (myself included) had aged! I logged out!!

I'm in the group now

Facebook people~Don't do apps! Malicious software virus protection highly recommended! I'm out and thank GOD still have my brand new hard drive. OH MY!

Blessings,

Apps schmapps Shep! I can't even do push-ups anymore!

What I find interesting is looking up the kids I coached way back when to see what they are doing now.

Looking at the sons friends list also gives you a solid idea as to who they are associating with

Do some deep search and you will see how many of the players he was associated with in HS and college are still in touch with each other


Great stuff

.

I did as you suggested TR...a real deep search.




And looky what I found...



...66¢!

Almost enough for a down-payment on a Vanilla Rooibos Tazo® Tea Latte at Starbucks©!

Got Wood...you going Mountaineer on us- that your couch to burn?

.

Am I going Mountaineer on you guys?

If it will keep me warm I guess the answer is...

So I signed up for this facebook thing and now I'm not really sure what to do. But, I'm in.

.

Not really sure what to do puma?

If I'm not mistaken, I think you start by going down to your local Post Office to get your picture taken.

i alway's wondered why they put pictures of wanted criminals on the post office wall. why not put them on stamps? then all the mailmen can look for them.

.

No 20dad...the mailmen are keeping their eyes on suspicious packages.



Packages that might bite!

better late than never- I am now the 60th member of the great facebook experiment!

I partied one night with Rick Derringer. I'm suprised he can remember his past. Of course being booked in Dayton and having to stay at a Holiday Inn would drive one to drink.

yeah!! I'm in-Nelia Ann-now what do I do? My kids are going to be so embarrassed!!
