Then you run into those shitty situations where you're trying to contact someone who only uses facebook.
Ive told everyone that I know that I do not view it as a valid form of communication. I do not check it that often, and when I rarely look at whatever it tells me I need to. One of my cousins planned her wedding through Facebook and it bit her in the ass when my older brother who she expected to have bring his band up for it (he is a musician), did not get that message until the week of (since he never checks his facebook) and thus no band...

Honestly, I lost my entire drive to use it after my exgirlfriend broke up with me through it.

I have yet to meet someone who doesn't use email or a phone of some kind.

The wild partying, sharing stupidity with people that were probably there anyway, trying to hide it from family, or that she expects it would be safe posted on Facebook through all the laughable security and hacks?

Yeah........

Apparently my sister-in-law has all these filters set up so her mother, my wife, and I won't see pictures of her wild partying or whatever. So won't even add her father as a friend at all. At 25 years of age, I think she's way too old for that nonsense.
I know. Everyone should be past Facebook by the time they are 25 years old.

Because it wouldn't make for a funny story to tell if I just added her.

It could be worse I mean it's not like I'm the projectionist.

Man the suggested friends thing is strange. I used my spam email and I'm not letting it sync with anything and I didn't put in where I went to school but every single person it's suggested I know from different aspects of my life. Old friends I used to do graffiti with to random old roommates to people I actually see everyday.

The whole "hiding" it part is what gets me. It's behavior I might expect to see from a 17 year old kid, not a chemistry PhD student.

Haha, I'm not gonna dispute that. I keep mine around because it's the easiest way to show my family pics/video of my daughter.

Strangely, that is exactly the behavior I would expect from a 25-year-old chemistry PhD student. A 17-year-old would not be as good at hiding it.

I might get annoying or goofy things posted to my wall once in a while, but having my mom as a facebook friend is good, as it makes me think over what I will post all the time.

I need that kind of reinforcement.

I thought south Texas was supposed to be dry. We've been getting thunderstorms and heavy rain at least once per week.

You know, I realllly wish we could get some more rain. It's gotten dark and spit at us, but we never really got any good rain.
