And another thing....
this Facebook thing.
I don't "Facebook" very often...just once in a while.
I don't do Farm Town or yo'ville or anything else that sucks the time away.
But I DO get some friend requests that puzzle me.
some are from people who HATED me in high school...were really mean and cruel to me. And now they want to be my friend on Facebook? WHY?
Other requests come from kids....kids at church...kids that I don't really talk to, or have any kind of relationship with. Or "other people" from church that I am NOT friends with.
Is this just to build up their number of friends? I don't get it at all.
Who cares how many friends you have????
Do you "confirm" every one who requests to be your friend...even if you aren't "friends"?

Ummm nope. They are probably finding you through "suggested friends" on the side. Just click ignore or deny!
I HATE Facebook...
XOXOXOXOXOXO
NO I do not! but I am probably not the right one to ask
No, I do not.
I don't go on Facebook much, but I don't need to be friends witht the friend of a friend's friend's friend.
No, I don't. I found out something else you can do. If you've confirmed some "friends" and don't want to read what they say, you can go to the right of their update and click "hide" and not get their news feed.
I have also deleted one recently.
I just get on there to play Scrabble with Charlie and my son and to read what a few people write. I don't participate in those Farm, Mafia, Pet Society things. I don't need more than I already have to spend time on!
I don't "do" Facebook but I'm awfully suspicious of those who are on it and have two or three hundred friends listed!
I typically don't deny people. I figure if you are that curious to know what I'm up to then have at it.
(Although there are times that I think I should be denying...)
Yeah, I ignore friend requests. And love the games, especially Farmville and Sorority Life. They help pass the time on slow work days. And the quizzes. And being able to chat with friends.
No I don't accept every friend request. It's not a popularity contest for me.
I'm all about my Farmtown, Farmville, and Yo'Ville. And the "time sucker" is the VERY reason why! Hey, I don't have a life. I come to work, I go home. What the hell else am I gonna do?
I don't care if someone hated me in high school. I hated people in high school, but I outgrew that shit. I'm an adult and I'm curious as to what other people do, ya know?
I do not friend everyone, but I do friend people that can be on my Yo'Ville crew, cause I get more money that way!!!!!!!!!
I don't add everyone, and I never intended to have 100s of friends, but as a teacher, I do add former students (not current ones), and as a result, I have more friends than I know what to do with. I think of it as a place where they can find me if they want to. I also had my 25 year high school reunion this year, and those people have been adding me, too, and it's kind of fun to look at their photos and such. But I don't consider it a place of intimacy or closeness. I only have a very few close friends, and the funny thing is, they are not even on facebook! ;-)
No. If I don't know and like the person, I deny. But if you wanted to be my friend, I wouldn't deny you. ;)
No I don't!!! I adore facebook, but I only friend people I have a direct connection with and that I like. I also have recently blocked people and unfriended them - as back in the first weeks I was naive.
I'm new to Facebook and nope, don't accept all friend requests. Just not that interested. Nor do I want to play those time-wasting games.
No way....I reject A LOT of people!! You know how friendly I am!! lol My son rejected ME as a friend! He said 'old people' should stop trying to be friends with young hip people!!! lol
BJ
What's Facebook? I guess I don't have it. LOL! And besides I have all you wonderful friends!!!
I facebook, but it irritates me as well when people have countless "friends" and ya just think.. do you really have 459 friends and care what they do? I dont think so.
I dont confirm every request, cant be bothered. And, I find it hard to believe that those who didnt speak to me in HS suddenly want to know what Im up to now, esp when I havent spoken to them in upteen years!
What can you say..
Your popular
i love facebook I keep in touch with people in Switzerland and even some friends I went to school with in Papua New Guinea. BUT I don't accept kids, except mine ofcourse ( i want to know what they are doing on FB) and I ignore people. Even neighbours I don't add, cos I just don't want them in that circle ! Say NO. Its fine !
If it weren't for facebook friends I'd have no friends at all!!
No, really. I hate talking on the phone as much as DD hates facebook! But if a friend facebooks me I'll answer that! And I LOVE when people who hatefully called me "FAG" in high school friend me! I always let them in so they can follow the links and see what a FABULOUS drag queen I have become!
I have a list of 17 people I have not confirmed! I just can't do it if it's TOO random.
I know *most* of the people that are on my FB list. There are 1 or 2 that I don't know personally, but that have supported our organization and that I've corresponded with often.
I don't feel any remorse at ignoring a friend request, nor hiding or deleting people. Nor do I care if I'm removed from anyone that finds me tiresome. ;-)
No- I think facebook generates these so called requests....
Okay, when I first started the FB thing I didn't realise how many people were looking for people from High School so I friended (so not a word) everyone. Don't do it - I just ended up hiding half of them. Also I feel the need to make inappropriate coments at times and I don't want the judgement. So keep it to your good friends gurl. It's more fun that way!!
I have yet to have anyone I know or don't from HS friend me..but I don't have my maiden name up there either.
I'm pretty much like you. If I didn't like you in HS there is a pretty good chance that your not my friend now...
That said, I have like 50 friends and you know, that's good by me.
Oh hell no. What's wrong with those peeps?
When you've taught school almost 40 years and have all those former students, the friend list adds up. I enjoy seeing what they're doing now and looking at their photos. I don't have the news feed for them all because that got to be too much, but I like being in touch with them again.
NO. And NO.
No need to give someone you hardly know access to your entire profile.
I have the same problem with my uncle's wife's family. They're not related to me, I don't even know them, and have no desire to be linked to them in any way.
(There's a bit more history behind my dislike for the family, one that I won't go into here...)
I just ignore their requests.
Love facebook...works for me.To each his own I guess. Have had some beautiful reunions and even visits from the past.Two totally different friends in my past it turns out, are in the same band together in TExas and at rehearsal it dawned on them they both knew me. It was all fun for me...as well as many other situations. blogging is good, but requires a different kind of dedication every bit as addictive as facebook. I like the quick communication with a wide range of people.And I don't waste time with people I don't know or care for. Like everything else on line...it's an option-that's all, and I pay for the entertainment. so why should i feel obligated?
Hi Beth, I only friend people I have a substantial connection to. If a person is not already a friend of mine on Facebook, they probably won't ever be my friend on Facebook. I have a couple of fiends who opened up Pandora's box by casually befriending people on the network. They really wish they had not crossed that line.
OMG! I'm actually FB "friends" w/a chick I FAUGHT in HS! lol I look at it like We've grown up, have kids, husbands & that shit is in the past so why not? I may be a big dummy but whatever, I'm a woman now & refuse to let that crap haunt me now.
BTW FB me! I spend more time there than blogging or MS. Look for me: Cecelia Ramon Castillo
Nope. I only confirm friends who are actually friends.
