Me too, poison!!!
When I shut mine down I had like 18. I have a niece and she had over 2,000, I ask her do you know all these people, she said no, just told her she better stop adding people. This is what gets me, people will go on vacation and start adding pictures of where there are and when they are coming back home. Had a friend who's house was broken into while they were gone, I told her not to post pictures while they were gone, but did anyway. She kept saying that she just had her friends on FB, but I kept telling her or asking her, but who are they friends with that sees her page!!!!! Found out it was someone who saw it from a friend, of a friend of a friend!!!!!I haven't shut mine down yet though I can see why many do. The 'Saving grace" for me is that I was never on that "friend" trip. I have 39 "friends". most of them are family and a couple people I grew up with and a couple Army buddies who I served with, that's it. I even have several that are marked acquaintances though I have know them for a long long time. they don't need to know my business to any depth.
My children in turn have hundreds, I have a nephew who has thousands of "friends". Yeah, gourd head...
As bad as Facebook is, Twitter is even worse.Me too, poison!!!
I have a friend that told me one time after he got married, that there was a girl he tried to date, but wouldn't give him the time of day, then after he got married, she started trying to hit on him. He ask her why wouldn't you go out with me before I got married, her answer was, before you were married you wouldn't keep your mouth shut, I figured after you were married you would!!!!! LOL!!!I haven't shut mine down yet though I can see why many do. The 'Saving grace" for me is that I was never on that "friend" trip. I have 39 "friends". most of them are family and a couple people I grew up with and a couple Army buddies who I served with, that's it.

Edit: The funny part is I created my Facebook account when I was with the Recruiting Command. I had to create and manage their Facebook site. My children at the time kept bothering me that I was trying to see women is why I created an account. Fast-forward to now. My darling has a Facebook account and has more friends than I do, not many more, but more. I will get around to accusing her one day. Nah, my Darling is my Darling and I am her husband.
I told my Darling the other day, I don't have time to cheat on her. She asked why. I stated whoever I'd cheat with would have to first give me the 30 plus great years my Darling has already given me. I just won't live that long... If I do, by then I won't be worth it... (I owe my Darling at least that!)
The only ads we see around here are Help Wanted ads. It seems as if every restaurant and hotel has them on a billboard in front of their place. I am listening to the radio now and the subject is jobs and people who do not want to go back to work because the government is paying more for people not to work in certain jobs. Why take a job at $500 a week when you can make more than that sitting on the couch watching Netflix.
Our governor said if you are not looking for a job, unemployment benefits will be denied. There are 7 million jobs available in America. Time to go to work folks. We do not need anymore stimulus checks.
Don't do twatter either!!!!As bad as Facebook is, Twitter is even worse.
You're better off.Don't do twatter either!!!!
We do not have a mask mandate now. The people who live in states that do should put pressure on their governor and elected officials. If you are staying home, why not organize and demonstrate like the left does. They go to the streets if they do not agree with something.The problem I'm seeing is people don't want to wear masks while working. If they dropped THAT requirement, I know quite a few people that would be back in their offices/positions immediately if the ridiculous mask mandate was dropped. People wearing masks are still much more likely to contract the virus (or other sickness) than those who don't wear masks according to the data.
Kind of a similar story but not involving FB....before the days of FB. Had a friend who was building a new house outside Atlanta. All of the workers were Mexican. Imagine all were illegal. Of course they would drop by and see the progress on the house several times a week. Would bring friends once in a while...talk about what they were doing, going to do, time they got off work, etc while they walked thru the house. House was finished and they moved in. Less than a month later they came home from work and the house was cleaned out. Everything gone.When I shut mine down I had like 18. I have a niece and she had over 2,000, I ask her do you know all these people, she said no, just told her she better stop adding people.

My children, daughter in law and grandchildren are not on facebook or twitter. No social media. They also requested we do not post pictures of them on the internet and we have honored that. I seldom check or post on facebook. My wife pretty much dropped it a few months ago but has posted a few things of interest to her family.I haven't shut mine down yet though I can see why many do.

DeWine still has a mask mandate but I'm seeing more and more people out shopping without one. Lot, and I mean a lot of people are just fed up. Everyone I know can't wait...that if he runs for reelection....to vote against him if he's primaried, or just not vote for him period. Of course the downside being we get a worthless Dem who will be worse.We do not have a mask mandate now.

But conservatives stay quiet and go along with the flow. Change that and you can change America. In America you have to have the loudest voice to get anything done. If thousands and thousands of people showed up in Frankfort demanding the mask mandate be ended, it probably would be.
It was hard enough finding people to work around here before Covid-19. Most would rather live off government assistance or they can't pass a drug test. Now people are getting double +/- on unemployment than what they would from working, and you have the current situation. So the problem isn't the wearing of a mask, it's getting people to walk further than the mailbox to get a check.The problem I'm seeing is people don't want to wear masks while working.

Heck I went to Cracker Barrel yesterday for a carryout family dinner and they had signs from the state/local health dept that you couldn't sit in the rocking chairs and benches. And this is a state that is supposed to be fairly 'open'.
Congrats on the grandson!!!Mornin' D-Leaguers. Back to work for me, and a busy week before I head to KC on Friday morning to see my new grandson.
I hope everyone had a terrific weekend. It was nice here, with a party for my wife and MIL, who was also turning 80 this weekend. I'll catch up later.
Sadly, with the cyber attack and Memorial Day around the corner, I expect it to go up even more in the coming days.![]()
Thank those who voted for that... Next time you see one...

The F.B.I. confirms that DarkSide, a ransomware group, was behind the hack of a major U.S. pipeline. (Published 2021)
A deputy national security adviser said that the government believed DarkSide was “a criminal actor” but was looking for any ties to nation-states.www.nytimes.com

Had a friend who paid 2.99 for unleaded around here last week. Has come down to about 2.79 since.Found it from Facebook. Amazed it wasn't fact-checked by now but it has not been...
(I cut down a lot of ads due to how I have my account setup. Some still get through but I have ads cut down a lot.)(My guess would be somewhere in California.) Regular here is $2.65 or so at the cheap stations.
These prices are getting out of control. By the way, BBUK is this you with this mama rattler. This one was in a pasture in Chiefland, FL and the cattle got a little spooked. So it had to be dealt withFound it from Facebook. Amazed it wasn't fact-checked by now but it has not been...

I had an annual ritual of paring my friends list down to only people I had spoken to the last year.....I belong to pigeon organizations all over.....I get friend request and just OK them.........then purge them anually.....I never opened my page to everyone.....it was handy when my daughter lived in England......when they started to censor people......because.......I don't take censorship lightly.........I don't need FB tracking my every movement.......I sure as hell don't need them putting me in time out when what I stated was true to the word......I will no longer participate in the Facebook experiment on liberal control.........When I shut mine down I had like 18. I have a niece and she had over 2,000, I ask her do you know all these people, she said no, just told her she better stop adding people.

Years ago when I lived in the Atlanta area there was a Chinese restaurant that we went to a few times. Very good. One of the better Chinese joints I had been to. They got shut down by the county health dept.....found they were serving up cat on the buffet line as chicken.Pidgeon buddy? Chinese restaurant? hmmm...
In Chattanooga, around on the back side, there was a road along the river that had a place with a sign that advertised a Vet and a bbq on the same sign. I suppose the road and river are still there.
