Yes, I am back on Facebook and let me explain why. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is doing a build here in Lewes. I know of the family and am extremely disappointed that my health won’t allow me to be a part of the build. I can’t stand for more than ten minutes, and if you ever saw that show you know the volunteers stand around a LOT!
I have quite a few local acquaintances who are volunteering and one of them told me that I could keep up with the build on Facebook… so I checked it and found out I could see a lot more if I signed in to Facebook.
Over the weekend I watched the local news on my lap top from upstate. They kept referring to messages on Facebook, so I checked it to keep better track of my community during the storm. Again, I could see more if I signed in.
I thought I quit, but guess what… quitting on Facebook is pretty much the same as logging out… when you go back everything is still there, friends, messages and all the crap that I was trying to get away from. Yes, I have found Facebook very informative and helpful during the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build here in Lewes and in keeping up to local news during Irene.
Yes, I still do not like Facebook. Some of the stupid things I read during hurricane reading were unbelievably stupid.. Like “when will Irene come to my city?”… Like that person was expecting Irene to knock on her door and say “Here I am!” Like “How come you don’t talk about my town?” How many thousands of little towns are on the Delmarva Peninsula and you expect them to mention every little town?
Because I was not in my home and away from my hometown, I greatly appreciated the coverage WBOC gave on their on-line broadcast and on Facebook too. If only you could weed out the garbage and stupidity on Facebook.
That I could not read these things without everyone in the Facebook world knowing I was on line irks me… can’t a person lurk in private?
Hi Marge,
ReplyDeleteYep, FB has a lot of stupid remarks! Make sure your chat feature is turned OFF - that's the best way to not get caught.
Hope this helps!!!
