You might want to see what Pat has to say about that last idea.

Hmmmm. NEVER thought of that aspect of things. Maybe she can be Justin Bieber's new "BFF".

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

Seriously, I signed up for Facebook 2-3 months ago to keep up with:

1. Family. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, etc., etc.
2. Friends. Old friends from high school, college, and other earlier years.
3. Friends. NCRS, NCCC, and other auto related activities.
4. Neighbors. From my old neighborhoods and my new neighborhood.

To each his own, but I can do all of that without Facebook by mail, phone, texting, email, etc.

And more to Terry's point, you can be a member on Facebook and here without "friending" anyone.

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

What is the reason to make a "friend" besides competing with Paris Hilton or Britney Spears for the most number of "friends" on the web? What am I missing?

You must be referring to "Facebook Friends". The only reason to "friend" someone is to enable you to keep up with all their posts on the newsfeed (Home button). If you don't wish to keep up with all their posts/photos, etc., then you don't need them as a Facebook "friend". Some never post anything. But, others can drive you nuts: I had a Facebook friend who lives in Colorado. When it was 110 degrees here last summer, she was posting that it was 75 and raining at her condo in the mountains. She posted everything, including when she went grocery shopping, etc. I had to "unfriend" her for being obnoxious.

Easier to block their Facebook postings, as then you don't have to "unfriend" them.
I do that with several people for reasons similar to yours.

I do the same with one of my cousins. She posts her breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices. She posts TV programs she's watching, etc.

TMI.

Terry,

I just got an email from you(?) this morning that I thought suspicious, so I did not open the link provided in the text. The message just said " Hi, my friend", and then provided a link to a website. It was from Terry McManmon, gismack@sbcglobal.net , with a subject of "malcom.vaughan".

As I think it is a scam, I'm going to erase it off my computer as well as my email server.

Be happy - Terry has more than one of my e-mail addresses, so I got multiples.

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

I feel cheated Terry, you have at least three of my email addy's and I did not get one from you

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

I got one from Terry. It's amazing what it said a little blue pill from Canada will do...

You must be the only one. I got over 90 "Mailer Demon" responses. I really need to clean out my address book. And even now some 12 hours later I still have "friends" letting me know I was spamming them. Some of those "friends" recommended their own reliable drug supplier.

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

Lets get back to basics with what this web site WAS (PAST TENSE) all about. Were is all this going? It's like a bunch of gossipy cell phone obssesed teens run this site now. Keep it simple STUPID. Whats next, texting this site while driving in the fast lane at 45 miles per hour?

Re: Should we all be "Friends"

Terry, I got an email from you. Was an ad to sell me Viagra.!!! I started to reply and then quickly hit the spam button.
Meanwhile go ahead and send me the Viagra Terry as I am almost a 100. I have no complaints about the new web site. Reason being is I like change in my life. Pretty complained about Xmas this year. I did not as complaining is not going to make it go away. I was happy to be here for one more year.
Here's a minor minor complaint. The smiley faces are weak to say the least. Maybe it's my eyesight though.
Have fun cleaning up your email mess. I feel for ya.
Happy New Year. John
