Love/Hate Relationship with Facebook.

Do you have one of those?  I do.  I absolutely love Facebook, yet I hate it too. 

I have reconnected with so many friends and family!  I am a military wife and we move all the time and so Facebook helps keep me in touch with family and friends.  I can post pictures so that they can keep up with my children and how they are growing.  At the same time I can keep up with family and friends and their children.  I love looking at everyone’s photos and seeing how their children have grown.  I love chatting with friends I wouldn’t normally get to talk with or see.    I really enjoying reading what everyone is up too.  Reading their comments on work, kids, life, tv shows and movies.  I have reconnected with cousins who I have not seen since I was a little girl and so enjoy reading about their life and family now.  I love it!  Reconnecting. That’s what it is all about!

Well, that’s part of it.  I also enjoy all the quizzes and the games but that is kind of where the hate part comes into play.  The quizzes and games are addicting and once you start you just can’t stop and before you know it you have wasted an entire afternoon or even worse a whole day!  The games are fun and pass time but often times for me they pass too much time!  I’m playing Farm Town or Farmville or Farkle, or Mafia or Vampire Wars when I should be cleaning house or exercising or anything really.  So, be careful with Facebook or before long you too will have this Love/Hate relationship.

    You’re right, the quizzes on Facebook can definitely be addicting. I haven’t gotten into the games, such as Farmville, etc yet though.
