I use facebook as a photo diary just for us. Occasionally we sit at the computer and look through photos from yesteryear. And occasionally we share a photo with a few friends. Other than that. No twitter or flickr or blogs or ignore lists or whatever.

FB I only follow family and RL friends. Plus BBC England. Posts I don't like, as on forums, I ignore. Life's too short.

It's self defeating, cos in your rush to avoid the idiots, you also delete the long-standing friends and family that reach out at appropriate times. Such as the example above.

I have too many personalities and varying groups of friends, to have everyone I know on facebook, was best to get rid for me.
It also promotes narcissism, got sick of seeing dead Thai babies, people shot through the head, rape victims and dogs burnt alive etc...

The only reason I opened a FB account back in 2006 was to promote my website, very good way to advertise something. Some people don't even use websites these days, just sell their product on FB.
All my FB related alerts go into spam as 99% are photos of crap that I am not interested in, or stupid comments like "Yay, I am going on holidays next week" ! FFS

Some of us travel with proper insurance, some of us know better than to ride motocys in banana republics. Was the guy involved riding a motocy with no insurance? In a coma, no offence, but I hope someone somewhere has the right to unplug him, otherwise he will be nothing more than a cash cow. He has insurance and is well off. He had given all his necessary details to a friend in CM who flew down. His son is there with him now. Re the motorcycle thingy. Chances are I'll end up being wiped out on my motorcycle. That'll be fine. We all have our own risk assessments. My biggest risk is going down with a heart attack or stroke, even though I've dropped ten stone in weight. The guy involved is single, we'll traveled, we'll funded and in his late sixties. He's having a real go at life.. Knowing him ( and like me ) he'd swap five years of life for ten years of sitting on his arse staring at the winter rain pouring in. I hope your friend recovers, thankfully as you say he has the cash. Read about it too often people who have never been on motocys going all native over here and getting smashed up with no insurance. Concur with the last sentence.

The holiday, baby and puppy dog posts from others doesn't bother me. Unlike depression, happiness shared is happiness doubled.

Smokie will never ride a bike in SEA. That's cos he is a coward. I'm smart too but terribly honest. Yes but you'll drink to oblivion, put your blood pressure through the roof, and risk a stroke/heart attack. You're a terrible influence.
