Where would I be without Facebook?

On the subject of Facebook friends I’ve made lots of friends from all over the place. Some replying to things I’ve posted and some that share my name. I’m usually quite careful with which friend requests I accept. But, the other week I accepted a friend request from someone in America. The reason I did so was that he lived in an area where I’m supporting the sanctuaries in his area that are rescuing mustangs that have been rounded up by helicopter and sent to kill pens. He then said why are you speaking to me if you’re in a relationship. It made my blood run cold because half of my Facebook friends are male and are genuine friends. Of course, I blocked him straight away. But it really freaked me out and taught me to be less trusting in future.

I find it useful to see what the DAC are up to. I also use our village FB page to see what's going on/being sold/wanted etc. I would miss it if it disappeared.

That is probably down to the people on it, and how they use it. If they weren't on facebook, they could well be causing the same amount of grief some other way.

Never been on it, never wanted to. Sadly I know from family it can cause a lot of hurt, anger and grief

I think there is an awful lot of people out there that would be much happier if it had never existed.

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
