Face Book & Finding Friends

I have been on Face Book for over 3 years now. When I was invited to join by a friend, I thought why not. I wasn't a fan of My Space, a bit to adolescent for me. Anyway the first year on Face Book I only had 25 friends. Apparently it wasn't that popular three years ago. The next year I was up to 50 friends, of the 50 only 40 were actual people I knew. Three years later I have over 500 friends. Face book is amazing. I have found old childhood friends, former classmates, coworkers and bosses. I even found ex-boyfriends. The amazing thing is that almost everyone is Face Booking now.

The other day on FB I found a very dear friend of mine I had lost touch with. It had been over 18 years since I last heard from her. I had been looking for her for years, the one mutual friend we had, had no idea where she was. So you can imagine how excited I was to finally find her on FB. Once she confirmed it was me, she called me from the United Kingdom, where she now lives. We talked for hours, it melted all the those years away.

We talked about marriage, divorce, children, our jobs, lost loves, you name we talked about it. It was so nice catching up on our lives. All the while my kids were trying to get my attention. I just kept moving from room to room to find a quite place to keep talking. It worked because we were on the phone for a couple of hours.

Anyway, FB is amazing. If you aren't on it you don't know what you are missing. Try it you just might like it. You'll never know who you'll find.
