Facebook and 23 things

I have had a Facebook account for some time now. I have 2 sons who live out of state and facebook is a great way to keep up with what they are doing and to be able to send them private messages rather than emails--I think they check Facebook more often than email accounts. I also find it a great way to communicate with friends. The downside of Facebook are the items people "send"--hearts, wanting to play games, etc. I ignore these but wish folks did not seem to think that we all have lots of time to be on Facebook all day! I also think some of the postings by people are inane and a waste of time. I do appreciate that I can "hide" some people's postings and look at them when I have time, rather than have lots of silly posts to look at every day. I also like being able to post photos and have also made contact with several old high school friends via facebook. it's an interesting means of communication.
