How many of our dinosaur members are on facebook? Are we behind the trend? Is it cool? Do we need it? Apparently, my whole family is on facebook, except for me? Do I need it? I don't even twitter and I use an ancient flip phone, not even 3G much less the latest stuff out there. This is stuff I never needed before? I know females, particularly, that can't back out of a parking space without talking on the phone.

I got on Facebook a while back out curiosity and just to look around. Before I knew it I had 331 strangers wanting to be my friend.
I canceled my membership.

Tempting. I could certainly use 331 friends. Who wouldn't?
Come on, admit it. I know some of you are on facebook.

I'm on it. I migrated there from Myspace. I only have a few friends on it, though, and no one from where I work. A lot of people seem to 'collect' friends on there. I have all of 10 friends on there, and of those only 2 do I really interact with. I used to have more but had a problem with somebody I work with and deactivated an account and opened a new one, making sure nobody from work was on the new one. But then, I am hardly a social butterfly, and prolly interact on a few bulletin boards more than I do on Facebook.

I joined it for Rhino Calls and somehow ended up with 2 accounts. Damn thing is confusing at times but some of it is entertaining somewhat.
I have posted a couple photos on there that I have taken flack for but hey! They aready hated me anyway. Liberal fuktard animal loving hunters.
I have read on there amazed at some of the stuff people divulge about themselves.
Keep the bare minimum on the personal stuff and you'll be OK (or so I'm told.)
I'll "friend" you LB. Take the plung. Try something daring. Talk about your hummingbirds and you'll have 1,000 friends before you know it and then start talking about shooting coyotes and cats, sit back and watch the fun.

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

Fuck Facebook. I want to remain anonymos. I signed up to say hi to one person and everyone I never wanted to see again in my life was friending me.
Thanks but no thanks.

If somebody wants to 'friend' you, they will ask to be friends with you. You can then choose yea or nay. I usually ignore or deny requests from people I don't know or recognize. And you can set most settings so that only friends can see what you post. And I agree ref the personal info divulged...keep it sparse.

Vic, are you sure you don't have a cell phone? Dorothee told me you do; or DID?
Do you still have the same phone number as in MacNeal? Email me your current, if not, K?
Good hunting. LB

Yep, I am on there. I started several years ago. I joined so I could corrispond with my kids in Tx. My kids would post pics of their school functions, and we could chat. It was a good deal.
That grew into a finding people I had forgot about. Pretty fun actually. The excitement wears off though,.....getting very commercial. Its alot like these bbs, alot are on there reinventing themselves, but hell, thats the internet in a nutshell. Go for it Lb!!!!!

"You can then choose yea or nay"
as well as "ignore" right?
I don't think you can check anybody's facebook without first becoming a member, right? And, do people use screen names, or their legal given and surname?

Now that's funny Randy!!!! Sadly it holds lots of truth!
I'm on Facebook and so is much of my family. I have very mixed feelings. Read the fine print before you allow any of the services to load your info... you will be giving your lkife away to whomever wants to find out anything about you. Those picture things can tell more than any text ever will!!!

I still hang my head when I tell my friends, yes, I get on hunting forums...
Won't do the facebook thing or none of that. I didn't go to all the trouble of moving away and starting a new life just so I could be found by my ex-wife on the computer.
Besides it would be embarrasing to not have any friends.

Hey I'll confess. I have a facebook account. I joined about five years ago, but I never used the account. One day I got this request from my sister that said she requested that I join FB so we could stay in touch. I started filling out the info and said this is stupid because we can just keep on emailing each other like we always have. I never used the account until three or four months ago. My 40th high school reunion is coming up and someone started a group within FB. I've been trying to help contact old alums so I reactivated my account and use it regularly. I will say this: some people put the most stupid mundane stuff on there. Who cares what you are having for dinner or what movie you are going to see tonight. I'm sure I've ticked off some of the old alums with my center right ideology postings. There are a bunch of dumb ass obama supporters on there.

Yeah, I was talking to my grandson, who is stationed in Germany. He says he gets unlimited phone and TV for about $100 per month.
Anyway, he is the one that told me that my son has an account, and NASA emailed me earlier telling me that somebody with the same name, in Upland, is on facebook and I assured him that it wasn't me
So anyway, one of the things he (grandson) told me was that my daughter posts pics of stuff she makes for dinner. How mundane can we get? But he said that she says that she wants to write a cook book. What the world needs, another cook book!

Must admit, I have a FB page. Allows me to monitor my daughter's page on there and keeps me in touch with classmates from high school, relatives, etc.. I check it about once a week. My daughter figured out how to video chat using her netbook which, like Skype, is free and in real time. Just as good or better than cell phone and you get to see the other person in real life at the other end. Matt just got into Alaska and I hope to be able to chat with him and his wife via FB or Skype to stay in touch.
Today's technology is what you make of it - bad or good. Like everything, moderation is a good thing.
As far as bunny huggers, I have an old classmate from high school who is gay - yes, I have a gay friend. And some I suspect but who aren't fessin' up to it. Yet. Get over it. He's also Catholic, but I don't hold that against him either. Neither does my wife. LOL Anyway, I've known this guy since kindergarten and kill coyotes on his dad's farm where he was raised. I posted one picture last year of me with a dead coyote and he un-friended me because of my "lifestyle choice". Yeah, I explained the hypocrisy of that to him...

Big George, who doesn't like South Park?
That is satire at it's finest! They make fun of everything AND everyone. Nothing is 'sacred'. If you look past the silly cartoon aspect of the show, there is actually some warped form of wisdom hidden in the wisecracks. Comic genius, if you ask me! After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can ya laugh at???
Regardless, I'm not picking up on the irony between liking a satrical comedy cartoon and not joining fakebook. Could you explain that, pal?
And on a different note, you've stated on numerous occasions that you are "not a edjucated man" and we all know your spelling leaves something to be desired. Which leads me to ask:
did you spell my screen name wrong on purpose, or was it an accidental slip of your fingers?
thanks!
