Thats the rub.
If you dont Facebook....you dont know whats going on.
School Board meetings are posted on FaceBook.
It could be worse. Not having Facebook keeps you from attending events that would probably be filled with people who have and use Facebook. Along with religion type stuff, that crap should be unconstitutional. Favoring one form of social media (and its owners) over another. Shame. Did they put it out for competitive bid? Maybe instagram or tweeter might have won out. Geno It's a free service. Facebook makes good money off of it's free service.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

No. Could not care less what folks are eating or drinking at the moment. If this site is social media. then this is the extent for me. While I use Facebook groups to buy and sell farm equipment, I agree about all the useless posts..........such as...."Look, here we are with our wonderful little darling grandkids at McDonalds, where little Joey had the Kids Meal with chicken nuggets, and Zoe had a cheeseburger, while Marvin had a Big Mac, and I had the McRib." They're about as bad as the posts about how............"My darling wife and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary today, and I just want to say that Mabel I love you and I am the luckiest man alive".............and then all their friends have to comment about how lucky Mabel is to have a husband like Oscar.

Yep I've used it a bunch
There are literaly hundreds of specialized groups
You like the Savage 99......there is a closed group
You like Dillon or Hornady or Lee ect ect.....you guessed it
Tons of hunting groups and its easy to "ignore" people
When you block a FB user you don't see the crap they post and they cant see yours
Way better then the Forums and IMO it's the reason Forums have died
There is even a closed group for guys that used to come here.....
Very private and exclusive group......

The wife does. It is good for some local information, but is mostly (at least her friends) a bunch of flowers and bunnies and that sort of thing. Seems to be a lot of "chain letter" posts that want everybody to pass on something that will cause some magic happening.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Absolutely.
The latest...up to the minute stuff.
Too many crusty curmudgeons here refuse to step up.
I love Facebook....it keeps me with family...friends and current events.
The stuff that crosses my page is amazing...

My wife has a personal page and another for the store. Great way to advertise your business. I'm thinking about putting one up myself to advertise the kennel end. Haven't done so yet because like a lot of you, I despise it. But if I find I can increase revenue because of it, I'll just have to hold my nose and close my eyes and run with it.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have danced with many of the Devils daughters, but not with ol’ Lucifer hisself. No facebook for me

Goober would be perfect for Facebook.
Tell everyone when he’s having coffee or doing a little poopy or even when the cows are coming home.
