I use Facebook to stay connected to many of my friends and family in Southern California whom I left behind when I moved to northern California. I also use to manage an organization page for my Masonic lodge. However, I learned to stop all of the annoying game posts. If you go to the application page and click on block application you will stop receiving all the annoying crap, like "here's a pig for your farm" stuff. I do this for all the games people play, so I end up only receiving their genuine messages. You can also choose to hide the feed from friends who post crap stuff, yet you would still like to keep in touch once in a while. Doing this has radically cleaned up my Facebook page. However, I rarely post my own stuff. I am either update the org page or I am on StogieChat. Lastly, being a teacher, I have locked up my profile from any non-friends: all they can see is my name and a picture. You can also remove yourself from being searchable.

I met a new cousin two nights ago. I never met her in person. She is 18 years old. That last time I saw her mother (my aunt) her brothers weren't born yet and they're 22 and 21 respectively. So, I don't know them as well.
Well, now that I befriended her I noticed she's constantly posting some ramblings that I think is supposed to be rap.
To the hidden list she goes. Nice girl but I can't stand that *hit.

When you have walked in my shoes, done what I've done, seen what I've seen, then maybe you can criticize.

I live two counties West of Toledo, Ohio. (and started my facebook account when I was a student at Ohio State, where it was tremendously helpful.).
Mom and dad live 70 miles south of Tampa, Florida.
My sisters live in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area.
Facebook is essential for keeping up with family. I dont post as much personal stuff as I used to on there, Mostly pic of Cigars and batches of homebrew.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I have family in South Africa, Australia, and scattered all over the United States. All can be reached via e-mail and telephone.
At least it's better looking than MySpace, most people's pages are like a primer on poor web design.

Maybe I should have rephrased, "Facebook is essential for keeping up with MY Family". I can think of at least two cases of family I keep up with on facebook that I cannot contact via email or phone. Also my youngest sister spent part of the 2000's as a bit of a transient (long unrelated story) but at least she would stop in the local library, log on there and update the family that she was still alive on occasion.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
