Bye bye Facebook!

I decided, mainly for the hell of it to leg it from the Facebook. I went ahead with deleting my account and I got an email from the admin:

"We have received a request to permanently delete your account. Your account has been deactivated from the site and will be permanently deleted within 14 days.

If you did not request to permanently delete your account, please login to Facebook to cancel this request.

Thanks,The Facebook Team"

I was tired of the advertising bombardment, people announcing trivial things about their daily lives and having to oblige friend requests from people who really are not friends at all. So if you have one friend less, that would be me ;)

It is a handy tool for remembering birthdays, but that is only thing I can think of. My real friends know where to find me, and email is a marvellous tool to send and receive information regarding happenings and events.

I am feeling strangely liberated and I can tell you it feels good :)

Well done, KB. I've avoided it completely. A friend keeps asking me for advice on using it - I happily tell her that I don't!

Sending many huggles in admiration of your high-up ladder work over last weekend. I get height wobbles just changing light bulbs!

Thank you! I did mess about there for just over three years and it was fun at one point before it got tedious and annoying.

Then I saw the article about the Facebook selling your info for companies and that was it for me. Mr Zuckenberg needs to make a living somehow ;)

I am probably way too old/stick in a mud/anti social with large groups of people, virtual or live ;)

Thank you for the huggles and it was a bit of a wobbly experience!

I was very annoyed last night as it seemed that I had been sending what I call spam to what few friends I have on FB,lucky I went and removed, I only really joined to see my brothers pics

And why do people need to tell the world about their breakfast,write profanities and be quite debase in public...or am I turning in to a grumpy old woman :-)Ang
