Why can't tubenet be as erudite as facebook?

[bort]

This, right here, is more Facebook than I've ever read/used. That said, I think I'll stay as one of the 90% of the world NOT on Facebook...

I think I'm now quite braindead from that little conversation above...

Bob,
When blood suddenly leaves your brain for other parts of the body, one can certainly feel that way.

Doc

No you schmuck, I meant Joe's little FB convo.

Doc, Where HAVE you been?

[The Big Ben]

FB is an interesting phenomena....

I have made contact with people I had not seen or heard from in 30-40 years. People it was nice to hear from. Conversely, I've been approached by people I was glad I hadn't seen in 30-40 years. I have all my security stuff cranked down all the way. No one can see my page unless I allow it. And I only make friends with people who actually are my friends. It kind of violates a basic tenet: "Don't let too many know where you is." But, for the most part, it has been positive.

I don't think some people realize exactly who is reading their postings. So many times, something has come up on the screen and I've said, "Wish I didn't know that" and usually block the person. Other times, it gives the feeling like when you see someone yelling at their kids in the grocery store. Some people post *everything* they do: "Had a lovely cup of coffee today", "I had a completely divine bowel movement this morning. It left me with a feeling of....accomplishment!"

Doc, don't let the missus catch you out of the practice room...

Horn dorn!

(tuba-geek aside: Makes me cringe watching people put shiny instruments down on concrete, stone, etc. Likewise with mouthpieces set on the rim on any surface... )
