Actually my facebook is so private, no one can find me. They are not able to invite me to be a friend. That way I have total control over who connects with me. Maybe harder to find old friends that way, but the ones I do connect with let me know about others. On facebook I mainly have family, both mine and B-daddy's family. It has been great to connect with them. I am in touch with family I would normally not be in touch with and have met cousins that I have never met in person. So far it has been a positive experience for me.Neabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-19251750638394787842009-10-19T20:32:17.812-05:002009-10-19T20:32:17.812-05:00Ah!

Facebook has been a recent step for me also!...for connecting and reconnecting with old friends and even family.<br /><br />I dont check on it much, but will leave it up, for that very reason of people finding me :o) I have had contact with high school classmates from 1979-1981! That I didnt keep in touch with all these years!<br /><br />And I also have family on my mom's side that I didnt know I had! Simply amazing!<br /><br />Your post is full of promise :o) How great it will be for you to reconnect with friends and meet more family!<br /><br />OH! I would love to go to Sweden!<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!<br /><br />Our daughter keeps her facebook and her blog totally separate! And with that, I have kept my blog off my facebook so that no one goes through my facebook to my blog and then finds her blog! (She had a past boyfriend that was harrassing her even after she got married, so that is the reason why she keeps it separate).Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-29898742979362318492009-10-19T20:30:06.211-05:002009-10-19T20:30:06.211-05:00I, too have been wondering about that. glad you sh...I, too have been wondering about that. glad you shared. I have been having serious friendship issues lately(as in when I left my church, I lost all my friends). I watched a program yesterday about how God puts people in your life for a certain time, and some people are temporary... and it is a good thing that they are.....for you to become who you need to be. The program used the example of some people being like scaffolding that is just there to help build the building. That really helped me.Glad things are going ok for you. Have a blessed day.CHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602817546328183015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-86201046274848954642009-10-19T20:12:54.233-05:002009-10-19T20:12:54.233-05:00I actually have been wondering how you were doing ...I actually have been wondering how you were doing on the whole facebook thing.

Sometimes the memory of a relationship is such that we are fearful that it will change if we meet again. Do you hold onto the memory as you remember it or do you risk having it forever changed by opening a door that's been closed?Diva Kreszlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278102837785791249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-23462831560372994842009-10-19T17:33:39.098-05:002009-10-19T17:33:39.098-05:00Great post girl...and I think you should meet up w...Great post girl...and I think you should meet up with your old friends...don't you think maybe you just scared of the unknown as we all our...How exciting to find a cousin...I have a facebook account but don't use it...don't have time to blog and facebook both...I'm afraid if I did my DH would shoot me and I would even give him the gun to do it ha ha!!May you have a great day my friend...hugs and smiles Gl♥riaHappy To Be/ Gl♥riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515180398559277746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-37216583288270100682009-10-19T17:25:36.547-05:002009-10-19T17:25:36.547-05:00Wow and double-wow ~ that is a really good post an...Wow and double-wow ~ that is a really good post and I can't imagine there's anyone on the planet who can't relate to that!
