1 Answer

Answer :

No,not at all.I have a FB account and occasionally go there but do not post anything about what I do publicly. There are people there who post about being in line at the grocery store.I want to beat them with a frozen cod. As for the games on there like Farmville,etc…I would rather stick pins in my eyes. As for photos,I generally like to see them but after the first 145 badly lit,badly composed snapshots I get bored and will nod off. So that is my rant for today. :)
