My daughter was so embarrassed when I joined facebook. She has been on it for several years and she always talks about it. She uses it as a verb when she says “I facebooked her yesterday” and as a noun when she says “I checked facebook this morning.” She talks about all of her friends pictures and how she “facebook stalks” people to find out who is dating who. I found it very interesting, so I joined facebook last week. I have found so many old friends on facebook that I have not talked to in years. I also found all of my family members on facebook, although my daughter refuses to accept my friend request. I think I’ve come a long way with technology and think it is a good thing that I’ve joined facebook. We did not even have internet until a few months ago when my husband found a company that would install it in our home. He was browsing at work one day and found satellite internet at http://www.wildbluedeals.com/satellite-internet/virginia/. I promised my daughter that I would not “facebook stalk” her, but hopefully she will accept my friend request soon.
