Have to say Tegan that I love FB, as it has put me in touch with so many people from my life that I would not otherwise be able to see i.e old school friends who have emigrated, family who live the other side of the country.
It is lovely to see how they are getting on, pictures of their children/grandchildren, comparing notes on said children/grandchildren etc.
I wasn't sure at first, but now delight in seeing what friends, old and new, are up to.
Skype is another wonder I now enjoy...being able to talk to distant bods face to face is amazing!
You should give it a try
