Facebook

[Tiramisu]

I'm really enjoying Facebook. Yes, I've gotten addicted to Farmville, Farm Town, and Island Paradise, not to mention the quick games available. I got a treat this morning that one of my high school classmates found me (Pitkin High School Class of 1969)!

Isn't it wonderful to have people from your past find you on FB? I've had a few surprises like that too. We don't have much to say to each other but it's still pretty cool!!!

I haven't gotten into any games on FB. I spend so much time on the computer that I just can't get into the games. Sometimes I have hubby standing over me with a frown or he's mumbling......not good signs!!! (Especially when the house is messy!!)

Diana, I feel like I'm "slipping around" on Harold to get on the computer at home. But, lately I'm spending more time on there.

I love FB too. I've found and been found by so many classmates. I didn't really run around much with anyone from my class, my best friend in school was a grade lower than I, but I was friends with most of my class. I even have the kids I babysat for on FB...lol. Now one of them has kids and one rides my bus. Great way to stay in touch.

I am enjoying FB too. It is a lot of fun, and as my neice says, "it's a good time-waster"! LOL!

I also have reconnected with a lot of people on FB, especially family. I love FB for that, but I don't go there more than once/month. If I started with FB, I would never go out!!!

OK, I'm in addiction and game overload. I get paid to sit here at this computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week - I can't keep going home and sitting for another 5-6 hours. I've been playing Farmville, Farm Town, Mafia, Island Paradise, and Barn Buddy. I rush in to check my crops and almost forget that it's not real. Then, there's the card games and "time killers".

I need to step away from the computer and chill out! I haven't sat on the patio, with a margarita, to watched a sunset a couple weeks. I resisted joining the invitations to join those games until my neighbors came over and razzed me about it. Yesterday, Frank drove his new tractor over to show Harold. He told me he got it from Farm Town!!!!!

I can check FB and 4WT on my IPhone, but can't get to the games, so that'll be my first discipline - no computer at home for awhile!

Sandy you do have it bad don't you? LOL I saw where Gina has joined FarmVille and YoVille. Pretty soon she'll need a 12-step program too!!! I will pray your withdrawal pains are not too bad.

You DO have it bad, Sandy!! That's why I haven't gotten into the games. I already spend enough time on the computer so I don't need any games. Right now I'm game-free!!!

I'm feeling more and more that I have an addictive personality, like a co-dependency!

I confess I farm while at work, but at least I'm not the only one! The secretary and I usually hire each other to harvest each other's crops all day It's a nice break at least. I don't take real coffee breaks, just smaller breaks throughout the day to check email, forums, and facebook Thank goodness nothing is blocked here!

OK, I need intervention! I got on before I left home this morning to check my crops! Last night, Jeff called to ask what was going on with my Farmville - everything was plowed up.

Is there a 12 step program for internet game addictions?

You're more than welcome to come here and see the REAL thing, as far as farming goes. We're in the middle of corn harvest!! The combine's going and the trucks are hauling grain. Glen wil store the grain and sell it later. You can come and help him watch the markets and see how it's REALLY done!!!

[Tiramisu]

Diana, thanks for the invite. I grew up on a little farm, hauling hay, gathering corn, milling corn, hogs, cows, quail, etc. and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I know your's is much larger and I would love to help through the planting and harvest.

We were originally talking about FB and lately I've been really, really bored with it. It seems like nobody posts! And those that do rarely comment on your own posts. I have some friends that are kids and they post "kid stuff" that I'm really not interested in reading about. Some are family so I hate to take them off as a friend. It is nice to get in contact with friends from long ago, but there's only so much you really want to say to them. Oh well, I really don't have the time to be on there very much. House cleaning is always calling my name in the back ground. Can you hear it?


Come clean me.......Please come and put me where I belong........What if company comes.....Do you want them to see me this way?.........You folded me, now put me away.........Would you please get me painted so you can put your tools away?..........Don't you want to get me cleaned up in case Jesus comes for a visit?...........
