For facebook non-users and seniors.......

FOR FACEBOOK NON-USERS AND SENIORS.......


For those of my generation who do not use and cannot comprehend why Facebook exists:

I am trying to make friends outside Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later and with whom.

I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening, taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.

I also listen to their conversations, give them the thumbs up and tell them I like them.

And it works just like Facebook. I already have five people following me: two police officers, a private investigator, a priest and a psychiatrist.

My mother-in-law does pretty much the same thing. She'll talk to anyone, and talk she can I can tell you.

I don't think she has the same 'followers', though.

Pahahahaha!
Gilly! That's hilarious
I know exactly what you mean though..
I "did" fb for a year ....gave it my all, then got more bored with my obsessed self than I did with my friends (cough) and promptly left as quickly as I'd arrived.
I now contact the proper friends (cough) with a phonecall or an actual meet up, strange as that may seem...

Fb is great for promotion, personal or business, end of.
