I only add people who are true friends


:) :) :)


I am FB addicted to catch up with friends from all over the world, don't post all that often, play a few games.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I'm on FB and I think it's great.  I only add people that I know as friends and I try and have the highest privacy levels.

Its good to see what my sisters, niece and nephews who live interstate are up to.  I've caught up with friends from school.  Today I saw a photo of a friend who now lives in New Zealand's and her little baby.  It's great to see photo's you normally wouldn't see.

I'm not addicted to it, and I'm not on there 24/7 but I do enjoy it.
I'll even admit I use to play Farmville  :-))

I'm on FB but don't use it much these days. It's been great for reconnecting with my many cousins, I rarely get to see them in real life anymore.

I'm on FB daily, keeping up with what my nieces and nephews are up to.  (Sometimes, you wish you didn't know!)

I've a couple of friends and relatives I wouldn't normally speak to but I keep in touch with their comings and goings , so that's nice.

When you look at my FB page, my posts are usually food related, photos of what I've made (showing off my yummies)
I do the best I can

I only recently opened a facebook account. Mostly to keep up with Tenina's FB page and also to keep in toouch with my sister, brother, nieces nephews and cousins in the US. 

My sister and brother do a lot of posting. My sister is always playing some game and I keep getting the notifications which annoys me. I already de-friended an old childhood friend because she was always posting crap. Unfortunately I guess I can't un-friend my sister.

I check in to my FB page when I turn the computer on, I don't have many friends but enjoy seeing what everyone is up too.   Sometimes have to remind the GK's that Nan is reading their posts... :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

Nope, don't FB. DH does to keep up with family and old mates in NZ and keep an eye on what his girls post.
He often tells me what my DS is up to before I know.

I have seen comments from his girls and my son on DH's page and am disgusted and so disappointed with the language they use.

I FB every day. Yes, I'm addicted....

I don't always post stuff, but I check out what friends, kids and rellies are up to and love checking out photos. I have a few FB groups that I belong to which are fun - food related, of course - Thermomixalicious and Thermomixers.

 I have two business pages, one is The Bush Gourmand and the other is my Skinflint one. I like Pages such as Buy Australian Made and Cyndi O'Meara, Tenina, etc.

I unsubscribe from friends who post rubbish and growl at my kids if they use bad language.

I'm also a Pinterest addict!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

No,  and never will join FB.  I don't need it for business and from friends who have had it and have tried to get off,  I don't want that sort of  problem.  I will also not support a programme that can be used by young people to send nasty messages to others.  I don't need it to keep in touch with family.
The time that I have  available,  I would rather spend on the Forum or baking.
