Perfectly nice and caring people--to each other, all with the same cast of skin and socioeconomic level--who say the most atrocious things about "others." I can't, just can't reconcile such vile stuff with their kindness in other situations. Then I remember why my parents moved us to that town: we were moved specifically to a small town that was all white in the early 60's when integration was ordered. They grew up to the the true progeny of racist parents. But, how can they? I have only one reason for staying on FB. Our current domicile in a small town that is a bit disaster prone--in the last month, we've had a 4,600 acre wildfire that destroyed 68 homes followed by a major flood with the river cresting at 26 feet above flood level--and FB is the best place for keeping up with our county emergency department. Otherwise, I would be gone from FB in a heartbeat. As it is, I'm one by one "unfollowing" my former classmates.Linda P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-58108224947008176072015-11-09T18:51:07.636-03:302015-11-09T18:51:07.636-03:30I need better gangs.I need better gangs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-3448352226550731932015-11-09T18:47:12.943-03:302015-11-09T18:47:12.943-03:30The reason I post so seldom any more on FB.

Parents especially tend to hide those hellish episodes where their kids are in filthy clothes and playing up something rotten. But I have two Facebook friends who pass on their frequent cooking disasters and sartorial gaffes, which is most refreshing. I try to pass on my own domestic mishaps and emotional crises but sometimes I have to admit I'd rather forget all about them.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-5694149354363373352015-11-08T01:57:39.651-03:302015-11-08T01:57:39.651-03:30I would've been interested in that plate of ka...I would've been interested in that plate of kale, WWW!

I'd say about 90% of what I see in my FB news feed isn't worth a second look. But the rest is, or can be, so it's worth a look for sure. I love the potential for discovery and connection that is there, the renewal of old ties that can occur, seeing my longtime friends' beautiful newborn twin grandchildren, stuff like that.
