I have a love/hate relationship going on with facebook. I hate the fact that I am now addicted to Farmville, Fish World, Farkle, and Sorority Sisters.

I love the fact that I am reuniting with old friends, boyfriends and long lost relatives.

What do you love/hate about facebook?

Lol, I have the same relationship with facebook. I love doing quizzes on there and stuff, but I hate when you logon and you don't feel like doing anything but quizzes and people talk to you. I only want to talk to people on yahoo, gather, and myspace. weird? i don't know, yeah, i'm weird.

You can shut off the chat feature. I have to sometimes because it interferes with my farming. LOL
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 3:49pm EDT
amy you are my kind of weird.
Johnice R. Oct 3, 2009, 4:00pm EDT
I am so there with that one--I did not know that I could turn it off. I hasten to do that because my many friends in Europe and elsewhere can chat for a minute or two when we can catch each other at the same time.

What so I hate---there is no edit feature only comment and like.
David W. Oct 3, 2009, 3:49pm EDT
I am on it, though I do not make use of it. Every once in a while somebody requests contact. I look, decide and don't go back until the next request. I can barely find time to handle my Friends at Gather.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 3:50pm EDT
Your 'handling" friends on gather..be careful where you place those hands.
David W. Oct 3, 2009, 3:53pm EDT
Oooh, you caught me. Don't let the rest of my Friends know.
Kerrell g. Oct 3, 2009, 4:02pm EDT
Careful, fella!
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
Hi K!! xox
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Oct 3, 2009, 3:52pm EDT
I am finding that I am spending way too much time over there and strangely, I don't really care. LOL
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 4:00pm EDT
I feel your pain.lol
~~ Sarina ~~ Oct 3, 2009, 7:32pm EDT
I am there more than any other site.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 8:39pm EDT
Me too.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Oct 3, 2009, 4:02pm EDT
I enjoy those games as well. Fish wold iseasy to get money on.

I just started sority sisters a couple days ago and is at level 9
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 4:09pm EDT
I am level 24 on farmville. It seems like I plan my day around it.
~♥~ Kim ~♥~ Oct 3, 2009, 4:38pm EDT
Not me...I don't get addicted to things like that.....

/checks clock to see what time it is....my grapes should be getting done soon I'm at 91% and my blueberries just finished....I wonder if I have anything to harvest....and.....and......LOL Photobucket

Photobucket

Restaurant City and Pet Society are fun also......Photobucket
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 5:00pm EDT
ha ha I just harvested my blue berries.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Oct 3, 2009, 5:14pm EDT
I am playing "Resturant City" in between packing. Took a break to hop on here...going through filing cabinets suck.
~♥~ Kim ~♥~ Oct 3, 2009, 7:15pm EDT
I hate packing. I am a packrat and want to take everything...lol Eww on the filing cabinets. I don't know how many times I've moved that I had boxes called "Important Papers" from filing cabinets that I never looked in again...that just got stacked away in some basement corner. Now how important could they have been? lol
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 8:40pm EDT
It's called hording. I too suffer from it.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Oct 5, 2009, 11:53am EDT
I think...most of mine will end up that way.

How long are we suppose to keep old check stubs? Or will w-2's take care of that?
Paul R Oct 3, 2009, 4:10pm EDT
I Remember facebook before it got soo "popular" before all the apps, back when you actually needed a valid College/University E-mail address to sign up :-) back before all these celebrities and marketing campaigns and products and services had "Pages" it's just became an over commercialized myspace knock off now.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 4:27pm EDT
I signed up back then, when it was for college students.
Sarah P. Oct 3, 2009, 4:13pm EDT
I love it so I can reconnect with my cousins who live over a thousand miles away from me. I dislike it due to my friends using it to annoy me.
Mari H. Oct 3, 2009, 4:16pm EDT
My class reunion came up (& went) so I had to keep tabs on Facebook. I find the site a bit confusing-I lile Gather's layout much better.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 4:28pm EDT
I just found two old boyfriends and some 2nd cousins I did not know that I had.
Kelly L. Oct 3, 2009, 4:30pm EDT
I love Facebook! I'm so glad I have gotten to re-connect with people I haven't talked to in a long time. And I do love those stupid games too.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 5:01pm EDT
and I love the fact that I can spy on my kids. I have more friends then they do! LOL
amy r. Oct 3, 2009, 5:02pm EDT
Lol, I should probably shut of the chat feature and go private or something, I just always forget to and then its like oh no!!!!
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 5:14pm EDT
Instead of telling my friends "no i can't go out cause I have to wash my hair; I now say I have to harvest my crop."
amy r. Oct 3, 2009, 5:22pm EDT
Lol, thanks, I am weird. I have been continuously playing ranch rush that I downloaded on amazon. i can totally relate, i harvest, plant, and reap all day long, well, electronically anyway, haha!
Risa G. Oct 3, 2009, 6:09pm EDT
I am one of the few people NOT on Facebook. I barely have time to deal with Gather. I wish I had more time to hang out on the computer.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 8:42pm EDT
I wish that I could say the same thing. I also watch movies and tv shows while on there.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 6:14pm EDT
I love Yoville and Farmville.
I hate the fact that I am on it all the time....
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 6:26pm EDT
I am having a hard time figuring out what to do on yoville. Any tips?
Sidewinder 7 Oct 3, 2009, 6:29pm EDT
I am also addicted to Farmville and that is it.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 6:30pm EDT
Ok, well....you can obviously furnish your apartment or house. You can visit your friends homes and leave them a message and earn coins that way as well as go to your profile page and do the little tasks they give to you. Sign into your profile page and let the tasks pop up on their own--you can turn lights on, collect gifts and other stuff. You can buy, sell and trade stuff....lots to do ...if you give me your Yoville name I will send you a crew invite (which also earns you coins)...send me a PM if you dont mind.
Oh and I LOVE Farmville!! I always do the crops every 2 hours during the day and then right before I go to bed I set it up for 12 hrs so I dont lose money and I am earning while I sleep....same with Yoville!..any other questions please dont hesitate to ask.
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 7:28pm EDT
I don't think that I have time to take on yoville, but thanks.
Kathleen ♥ L. Oct 3, 2009, 7:07pm EDT
Hah! Metropolis, Zoo-builder, Stop Global Warming and My Zoo keep me up waaaaaay past a reasonable sleepytime hour... then I just stopped accepting invites to any other Apps or I'd never sleep!!
Kris M. Oct 3, 2009, 7:20pm EDT
I have a great time following my friends' zoos (I haven't had time to come up with my own). Kathleen, do you have snow leopards yet? :)
Kathleen ♥ L. Oct 3, 2009, 7:28pm EDT
I think I do, Kris... If I could get the d*@# App to load I'd be able to state for sure...grrrrr!
~~ Sarina ~~ Oct 3, 2009, 7:33pm EDT
Farmville, Farm Town, Lil Farm Life, Farkle, Yacht, and Cafe World. Oh and I have a fish tank too. And I almost forgot my favorite games, Bejeweled Blitz and Scramble!
Donna S. Oct 3, 2009, 7:47pm EDT
Solitaire!
Randi Burnham-Brown Oct 3, 2009, 9:53pm EDT
I enjoy facebook, but it sure can get addicting on those farm sites. Sometimes I can't pull myself away. And farkle is just as hard.
Donna S. Oct 4, 2009, 12:46am EDT
farkle drives me crazy. I have to keep going until I beat my friends scores.
Randi Burnham-Brown Oct 4, 2009, 5:14pm EDT
exactly! It keeps me on here for ever.
Julie R. Oct 4, 2009, 12:43am EDT
Me too! I'm an addict to those games like Farmville, Farm Town, Cafe something, and my favorite, yoville. It used to be the people, family/friends I was connecting with, now it's the games.
Donna S. Oct 4, 2009, 12:46am EDT
I agree.
Ed Da Head Toker Oct 4, 2009, 11:23am EDT
I aint reunited with anyone yet.
I have not seen those "quizzes" that you talk about.
S. M. K. Oct 4, 2009, 12:02pm EDT
I'm anti-facebook.
Deb J. Oct 4, 2009, 1:18pm EDT
I love facebook but i have tried to stay away for the games cause I know I would get hooked!!
Nurse Nancy S. Oct 7, 2009, 5:09am EDT
I love staying in contact with my friends and relatives. I hate all those crazy things people send like hugs and hearts and flowers and what kind of singer are you, etc, etc, etc. I do not do Farmville or any of that. All I do is play Bejeweled Blitz when I am bored.
Donna S. Oct 8, 2009, 3:08pm EDT
Do you like the new Bejeweled?
Nurse Nancy S. Oct 9, 2009, 2:31pm EDT
Yes, I do...a bitmore exciting. I like the last hoopla!!!
