Question for FB users

[Florence Fennel]

Thanks Chris, no need to apologise for your opinion. My experience of FB has been bad too, which is why I no longer use it, but I don't object to others enjoying it. Takes all sorts.

You need to get in here more Di, we're good for boredom

I know...it just doesn't feel as right when you've let your lottie go to ruin...I'll get back to it and do still pop in most days.x

The state of your lottie has nothing to do with your right to be on here. We miss you, and you can always join in the chat threads.

There are times in all of our lives Di when we have to prioritise what we give the most care to and I know you have had to concentrate on other things. The lottie can wait, you can take care of it later. For the moment, let us help you take care of you by coming in here as often as you can. Have a hug love.

My son's 4 and i'll not be worried when he starts using facebook and all the other social website interactions. I'm fully aware of what using sites like these can subject him too but its not like he wouldn't come across these situations offline than he will on.
I remember having top shelf magazines when i was 12 or 13 that some other kid had brought to football one night. Likewise i was subjected to swearing in that environment. I was bullied at school when i was 14 by five lads in the year above and that lasted nearly 2 years as i always managed to get away in time before they finally caught me.
Its all part of growing up. I plan to discuss these issues as they arise, not to preach how to deal with them, but to see how he chooses to deal with them. Then i can just offer advice as a parent to a child and trust he takes it on board. If he doesn't then i hope he learns from any mistake he makes but i will always be there for him.

If my son isn't using facebook when he's older, i'll be more concerned as to what sites he is looking at

I hate soggy cabbage, it needs texture, and vinegar!

With you there mate, but step away from the cabbage with the vinegar unless it's red and pickled.

I apologise for de-railing your thread, and to TS

No offence taken ~ it's refreshing to have an exchange of views without someone huffing off

However, it is perfectly possible to ignore these people, block them, and make it impossible for them to tag photos of you

Is there any way you can stop people that you don't want to block from tagging themselves, the amount of people who tag themselves on photos they're not on is really annoying me, takes me ages to take them off again - I want you to SEE the photos not claim you're in them when you're not which then just confuses anybody else looking at them. Don't mind you tagging people who were there but not otherwise and as far as I can see there's not way of stopping it.

The average user spends just 55 mins on FB a day. You're more likely to get addicted to the Grapevine

Blimey, 55 mins sounds like a lot ot me, I'd have expected it to be more like 10 mins max on average based on personal experiences although suppose if you factor in how long it can take to upload photos that would boost it a bit. You have got to wonder how some people find time to work / look after the kids / eat / sleep etc

I use facebook as with not being to get out it is a useful tool to keep in contact. However, alot can be lost in translation in writing/typing rather than said. My lack of confidence affects me talking on the phone. I completely disagree with children using facebook and completely agree that facebook like everything can be used and abused and is abused alot. I have witnessed this however I have also witnessed the sheer beauty of it. My nephew Jamie is a very poorly little boy and with the power of facebook and the internet a massive following has been accumulated and this has helped the family in coping and feeling supported and has also helped them accumulate information and raise funds for treatment. There is always 2 sides of the coin.

Cabbage with vinegar ? What, don't you cook with water like everyone else ??

[binley100]

( I know it's nothing to do with FB , just thought I'd share )

If you were brought up in Little Bromley, you would have had vinegar on your boiled cabbage, its a fact!
