First, I don't have any of you as friends on Facebook....Second, Facebook is for connecting with friends, usually over long distances (replacing
IM's for me)....Third, I refuse to add my parents, aunts, Mother-in-law or any work people as friends, there is shit on there I would rather
they do not see.
Finally, I get on face book to talk to a few people and play games. Facebook (to me) is a huge time waster, and I will use it as such. If they ever
decide to start charging, I will go back to playing regular games on my computer.
This is what Facebook should be....also an easy way to share pictures of your kids or events, instead of mailing (or emailing)
ETA: Okay just switched to check my Facebook, and one of my news feeds from a friend, who is so right wing, she leans, was a link to a story about how
Republicans are leading in Hawaii's congressional race. The funny thing is that the headline read "Republicans leading in Obama's
birthplace" my first reaction was to post a comment along the lines of "they have republicans in Kenya?" since she is also one of those birthers.
But I restrained since I am trying to start less shit in my life.

Sorry for the double post, but I felt this deserves its own post... I did a quick search to see if OO has a facebook page (it doesn't) and this
popped up in the search

Man... I think I might have more friends on Facebook from here than people I know in real life. It's probably close to 50/50 at least.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

News flash, sweetie: Bobby is eventually going to get sick of your bullshit, and then your relationship status is going to change to single and all of
your friends that are hitting "like" right now are going to admit that they've thought Bobby was a pretty big prick since day one. But in the
meanwhile, please continue to regale us with your boring Facebook statuses about where Bobby is taking you for dinner tonight and how cute it is when
Bobby lets you watch Top Model even though there's a ballgame on and how Bobby is just so nice to the four kids you barely pay attention to from
a previous failed relationship. Trust me, it's riveting stuff.
This. Fucking this.
And worse than the over-enthusiastic girlfriends are the over-enthusiastic boyfriends. I've got a buddy who bounces at the bar with me
and has begun dating a girl at work (a female bouncer, no less) and every day he posts some kind of nauseating drivel about how in love he is.
She's bad, too, but this guy is 1000x worse.
Here's his gem for today:
quote:
Wow 3 months today finely happy for the first time in years thanks xxxxx you mean the world to me
I hate him. Partly because he reminds me that I'm alone.

On the plus side, I am amused by the things women will post about their boyfriend's ex. I saw a picture a guy posted of his ex-girlfriend
dancing in a club wearing a little spandex outfit and his current gf described her as being the opposite of a centaur, with a human body and the head
of a horse. (Not sure if the current gf is related to Ziggy.)

I don't have any OO friends on FB either  And after all that nice stuff I said the beginning of the year when I was trying to emotionally
blackmail people to vote for me for Breakthrough Poster of the Year. Jerks!
FYI, I'm DrBoz on there too. At least I think I am. In case you want to be my friend. I'm sure I'll get like 90 requests in about
five minutes.
I've had two friends recently who got engaged. One has been seeing this guy (and living with him) for like six years, PLUS they already have a
kid (she has two from her first marriage). So congrats to you and all, but why should I really care? You already told me you gave him an ultimatum
to ask you by Spring.
The OTHER one is one of those gushing fiancees. The "My life is finally complete!!!" kind. She's divorced with two kids as well, and
I'm pretty sure it's two different dads. I mean I'm happy for these people, but seriously tone it down a bit.
Add me to the group that hates new mothers. I have one friend that constantly posts about missing her "two favorite guys" (husband/son) while at
work, or about how her heart wells up seeing her baby smile. I assume I would feel differently if I had kids or was married or whatever. Shit is
just constant though.
Cryptic status updates fucking piss me off.
Groups piss me off too.
I'm similar to you OOMike. FB is a time waster. I play a few games, but nothing too involved. I do use it more as an email tool though, so I
have family and work people on there as well. I actually prefer to have them there. It keeps me from posting crazy shit that is better left
unsaid.
I also use it sometimes to test out things I write. I've written some columns for our company's wellness newsletter, so I'll throw
out an article to get some feedback. I did that for an advice column I was doing a while back. Helps me see what others think, because I find myself
way more entertaining than others find me.
Oh, and I might be in the narcissist category. I have too many pictures of myself; however, I have a few baby pictures and no ab shots. I've
been posting more pics because I've lost 112lbs over the past 2.5yrs, so I'm kinda proud of myself. Plus I like people telling me how
awesome I am. It's nice how people congratulate you for the accomplishment and are nice enough not to say, "Man you were a big fat ass
weren't you???"
CBGWO!!! She is my everything!

Yes, that would be me circa 1975 I believe (maybe 76). I was pimp back then, rockin' the powder blues with the side cocked hat.

Losing 112 lbs. is awesome!
Most of the groups are pointless, but some are clever. I still smile when I approach an automatic door and think of Using The Force to Pretend to Open
Automatic Doors.

Well now that some of you are friends of me on Facebook, I have a question... How often do you change your profile pic? And how often do you think
you should?
My pic (of my dog) is my 2nd pic and I think I have had it for over a year.
Opinions?

Profile pics are no big thing. Some people change 'em amost weekly (they are crazy).
Others every so often.
Some rotate through a standard group of 4-5.
I have a main one that I always go back to (not there now).
So you're fine on the profile pic.
What you're not fine on is sending me a Mafia Wars invite right out the gate. At least you didn't Farmville me.

Still on my original. Too lazy to upload more pics. Some people do change every day or 2.
Clicked on a fellow OOster's profile and we had about 30 friends in common. I had not realized how many people from here I'd friended.
I'm often puzzled by FB friend suggestions. I keep getting certain people suggested who I don't recognize and with whom I have no mutual
friends or shared networks. I wonder if it's based on having "liked" certain things in common. I did get a friend request a while back from
George Wendt (Norm from Cheers), which caused me to mark out big-time, and we were both fans of Black 47, so maybe that's how it happened.

I've been getting requests from hot naked chicks. At least 5 so far. One had a friend that I'm friends with but not on facebook, or so I
thought, turned out to be a different guy, so I accepted hers. She'd been on facebook for a day or two and had loaded a few almost naked
pictures and her status was "just got a piercing but can't talk about it here, click here for pictures."
I removed her as a friend.
Since my profile picture is Lurch and I actually look way too similar to him they're not asking me because of my looks!
I'm actually curious about the decorum amongst you guys. I don't mind someone replying to a post of mine here with an ass or a middle
finger or just text that calls me a dumbfuck, but with family and church and even several patients as friends, I'd sure be embarrassed to have
SCSA respond to my status with a goaste.

SCSA's humor is expressed in word-play, not ass-play, on Facebook.
I was amused by how one friend of friend chick who posts a lot of OMG-hottt!!! pictures of herself has a bishop and a couple of priests as FB
friends.

Regarding decorum, my rule of thumb is to post as if my boss will see it. Or my mom (who WILL see it). So I avoid most vulgarity, other than the
occasional damn, hell, or ass (and one bitch, but that was quoting another post). I have a lot of religious friends from college, so I usually think
of them when I'm posting. It's weird I have those friends, seeing as I voluntarily went to church once in the four years I was in
undergrad (the first Saturday).
The point of decorum got hammered home for me the other day when I Googled myself. I saw a couple posts of mine, and of course one of them was the
post where I referenced the bitch quote. It was actually a joke about ending sentences with prepositions, and apparently it somehow got linked to a
FB page ABOUT prepositions. I recommend Googling yourself. I was surprised how much came back. My doctor status has been picked up by the 900
websites rating doctors. Someone really liked me on one site. How nice to know I made a difference! I hope that wasn't the one who killed
himself.
With pictures, I change when my mood suits. I usually keep baby pictures, mainly because I was a cute fucking kid. Now? Not so much, although the
response since losing 112lbs (115 as of Friday) is a little shocking. I need to take full advantage in case I relapse (again).
Who exactly friended me on FB so far? I had five where the names weren't familiar. I'm hoping y'all are on here too. Otherwise, I
got a bunch of random people listed in my OO folder.

I friended you, Boz.
I'm actually always wary about posting things on people's statuses, because I'm not sure if they have family or friends or whatever
who will get offended by such things.
Of course, the best one ever was when FF commented on one of Byrne's statuses a while back, and his mom came in and got all crazy. That was
awesome.

This is correct. I have my Grandma on there, my mom, various other family, a few co-workers, etc. I may post something straddling the line
occasionally, but nothing that I feel ashamed about those people reading. I see WAY to much shit like girls posting about how they want a dick or
something, and then I see they have their 12 year old son as a friend on there...
Posting baby pics of yourself is kinda weird though in my opinion.

I try to keep things reasonably PG-13 on FB, and my replies to friends' posts, especially when I know uptight parents/siblings/church friends
will see what I'm posting. But my parents aren't on FB and I've refused friend requests from my mother-in-law because I don't
need that kind of drama in my life, so any of you I'm friends with on there, don't feel like you have to censor yourselves for my benefit.
