I just signed up with Facebook only about two weeks ago, and had I known it was such a grand way to waste time I would have done it a long time ago!  I am now a member of organized crime in Mob Wars, I own and manage a farm in My Farm, and I am building a castle in another game.  Plus, there are many other standard games in which you try to best your own high score, or the scores of your friends.

I have “friended” many of my actual friends, and I have found some people I haven’t talked to in years. 

With all the hype about “phishing” sites, or security breaches because of places like Facebook and MySpace, I was a bit leery of joining.  I don’t put anything private in my profiles and I never would have at any rate.  That is just plain dumb if someone did!  I am surprised at some of the information that others HAVE posted, though.  Don’t they realize that Facebook is just a very large bulletin board?  Anything you post can be seen by just about anyone.  If you wouldn’t put the information on the bulletin at the local grocery store or coin laundry, then DON’T POST IT ONLINE!!! Duh!!

Anyway, now that I have started to figure out the workings of Facebook, I am actually having some fun there.  I have traded virtual lapel pins (called Flair, think of the movie Office Space); I have traded goats, horses, and trees; I have been gifted many items, as well… then I have help up liquor stores and performed muggings!  All in a days work.  AND, to top it off, I get to see what all my friends are up to, and see any photos they have posted, and even chat with any that are online.

Yep, I am having some fun with this.  Now back to see if my crops are ready to harvest.  I really need to get a chicken coop…. then off to see if the Godfather has granted me any new favors….so much to do, so little time!
