You see, my on-line friends have found Facebook.  For all I know, some of them may Twitter or use MySpace.  I spent the evening visiting the blogs linked to my blog, and I was disappointed to see that many of them are posting less, or not at all.<br \/>\nI should tell you that I, too, have a Facebook account, but I get to it so rarely that I can&#8217;t remember my password.  Luckily, I can reset it.  I am sufficiently lacking in spare time that I can&#8217;t sit and learn all the cute little gifts that can be given, or browse all the groups I could join.  I&#8217;m not sure I even understand all the different ways of leaving messages or carrying on conversations.<br \/>\nBut, most of all, I wonder WHY my friends would like to have me post how I&#8217;m feeling or what I&#8217;m doing throughout my day.    &#8220;Buffy has gone down the hall to her powder room.&#8221;  &#8220;Buffy has gone to the kitchen to brew a cup of tea.&#8221;  &#8220;Buffy has disappeared behind a towering stack of material to be filed.&#8221;  &#8220;Buffy is cleaning up cat litter.&#8221;  &#8220;Buffy is working on Accounts Payable.&#8221;  &#8220;&#8230;another litter run.&#8221; &#8220;&#8230;another powder room run&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;MORE LITTER!&#8221;  Get the drift??<br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad that you are all enjoying Facebook.
