I guess I'm number 3, 'cause I don't play Farmville, either...I just like to see what everyone else is doing, while I'm either playing w/my yorkies, talking about my yorkies, or tending to my yorkies lol... Sometimes, I think I need to get a life, and then I realize I do have a life, and it's all about my yorkies

me too - one of my favorite things from FB was hearing from my very 1st real boyfriend and finding out the infatuation was more him than me as I always thought - he told me he used to write my name thousands of times in a notebook and that cracked me up ! He hid it well back then

I am on Facebook.....was on Farmville, but it was taking up too much of my time!!!! Kept planting, harvesting - even in the night if I got up to go to the bathroom!!!....so I deleted it!!!! My FB name is Lynne (Meacham) Ellis. If I get a friend request who I don't recognize I click IGNORE - maybe we should all add YT to our name, then we will know it's OK to add!

As most of you know, I'm not the sharpest crayon, in the box, where this computer stuff is concerned...I don't know how to add people, unless I have their email address? So when people put their names, on here, to add them, I'm running into a brick wall...My email addy on FB is maggerle@earthlink.net, so maybe some smarter peeps will add me lol...

Haha, no, you aren't alone. I tried farmville once to see that all the hype was about... I lasted about 5 minutes. lol

Trixter · 04-25-2010, 04:52 AM

We Just joined! I'm new to Facebook, and addicted to games, so I didn't start on the farm thing. I know I wouldn't stop!

I have Facebook and love it. I'm addicted. (I'm out on medical leave from work and somewhat isolated so it saves my sanity.) I love keeping up with family far away and seeing pictures of their kids. I love reconnecting with old friends that I haven't seen in years. My kids are not happy that I have a Facebook account. They think no one over 30 should have one, haha. (Fastest growing population for FB users is people in their forties.) I am friends with my kids on FB but I've promised to not write on their walls. If I want to say something to them, I do it in a private message. I have also promised to not friend request their friends. But if their friends send me a friend request, I can accept, but, again, no writing on their walls.

It was through Facebook that I got my puppy Charlie. My cousin's wife knew a (I think) BYB. They knew someone that thought they'd like to start breeding Yorkies. Turned out they couldn't sell the puppies. My cousin bought one (they're real animal people. He owns several greyhounds plus they have 2 large dogs and a cat.) They bought Charlie's brother for $400. (The people thought they'd get $1600 per puppy. There was one left and my cousin posted on FB that they knew of a Yorkie looking for a good home and that he was free.

I was NOT looking for a dog but I had a "feeling" about the post. Charlie has been a dream dog. He's a perfect fit for our family. Of course, when I agreed to take him I knew NOTHING about puppies or Yorkies at all. After doing some research on here and other places, I realized I could be in big trouble, that he could have health issues. We were very fortunate. When I took him to the vet, the only "problem" he has is an overbite. Lucky for us he was perfectly healthy (even though he hadn't seen a vet.) Now he's had his first shots and he goes back on 5/13.

Charlie is a little love. All of us have fallen head over heels in love with him. He's playful, but luckily not hyper. He loves to cuddle with us (though he definitely has a preference for the "girls" in the house!

Wow, I got way off track here!! Anyway, Facebook brought us Charlie!!

Schooby · 04-25-2010, 09:56 AM

I am on facebook

My email address is schooby23@yahoo.com I don't play any games (used to play mafia wars, but haven't in over a month) though.

Jellybears · 04-26-2010, 03:37 AM

Geeeez....why don't your kids want you on FB? I have my friends, my kids (they are in their 30's now with families of their own!) also my kids friends- we used to live in Florida and now back in Ontario, Canada and we are all back and forth with pictures etc......

Trixter · 04-26-2010, 06:06 AM

I made the deal that I wouldn't post on their walls also, but my kids (24 & 27) set me up on FB so we could see pics. They have limited access. Same deal on the friends. If they friend me, I can accept. It's not that we don't want to share with each other, but our whole worlds don't need to be intertwined. I love dogbook!
