I love Facebook. I check it every day. The things I love most about it:

  • Catching up with old friends that I'd lost touch with.
  • Keeping up with my grandchildren (via their parents) because they live far away. They post pictures that I wouldn't see otherwise.
  • Being able to send out casual invitations to local things at the last minute.
  • Interesting links to information, youtubes or other funny things I might have missed otherwise, but am glad I didn't.


My favorite part is when my friends post what they cooked for dinner or are planning to cook. That alone has been worth the cost of admission for me, because I hate deciding what to cook for dinner!

You can set it up so it is not obtrusive to your life. I don't check it on my phone, unless I'm really bored and somewhere without my computer, but I can and I like that.

I like Twitter for up-to-the-minute stuff, like whether the college baseball game we're on the way to is about to be rained out. That is priceless.
