Not that anybody cares, but I'm about to cut back my FB account to relatives and people I know outside of TNCR. I don't really see the point of having a gazillion TNCR people as contacts on FB, when I talk to them here all the time, and Mrs. D'Oh feels a bit uncomfortable having pictures of the kids on FB where friends of friends of TNCR people can see them if FB unexpectedly changes its stupid security settings again.

So if you find yourself de-friended, please don't take it personally :)

(If it makes you feel bad, think how much worse I feel about having close-to-zero friends :lol: )

I never "got" facebook. I have an account but have never added anyone but family. I have gotten a number of requests from people I do not know at all. It all seems kind of creepy to me.

I don't really get it either. I have a couple of people I've got back in touch with who I was at high school with which is kind of neat (one of them lives in Columbia,MO of all places, so sharing the ex-pat experience was fun)

Reading between the lines - there's somebody here that really creeps out Mrs. d'Oh, but rather than risk offending the guy you decide on this approach.


Now, off to start a poll....

Doesn't bother me in the least, since I get the pleasure of your company here much more often. In fact, I can't recall the last time I saw a status of yours. Hmmm...maybe you unfriended me long ago!

I actually just unfriended two people last week. When I get a friend request if I don't recognize them I look at our "mutual friends". If I can figure out who they are (someone from high school, here, work or church - the latter is quite rare) then usually I'll accept. The two people I unfriended I came to realize I had no relationship at all with - they must have been someone's friend and so just friended wholesale other people's lists, because enough of my other friends (in this case all former schoolmates) had friended them I figured I must know them and just couldn't place who they were.

In a way it's like suddenly realizing that the guest in your house is someone you don't know at all, and don't particularly like.

British schools and Universities - don't you use FriendsReunited.com? That's where I find many of my old school colleagues.

No problem from me. I am on Facebook once every three months.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

... having pictures of the kids on FB where friends of friends of TNCR people can see them if FB unexpectedly changes its stupid security settings again.
That's the root of your problem right there -- trusting Facebook with your kids' pictures.

I am still trying to find a way to unfriend me. I suppose I can undure it but I find me mostly annoying. Shut up.

I did join that, but half the people on it never use it, and the e-mail communication is a bit tortured. Facebook's a lot more immediate.
