So…it is pretty clear that I have an active relationship with the Facebook! :) I first joined FB six years ago. I was a relative latecomer to this particular social experience. I recall being so excited those first few months as I reconnected with people from all segments of my life. As a middle-ager, I had lots of prior life segments. One thing that has always been important to me is that my FB friend list closely mirrors my actual life social circle. Meaning, I have to have had some sort of relationship with you outside of FB in order for us to be FB friends. I have always been a bit amused at getting friend requests from people I may have encountered exactly one time. Or those that I may see fairly regularly but to whom I have never actually spoken. Or, there’s the time a fellow member of a Hosta FB group tried to friend me after I posted a picture of my hosta garden. Apparently a mutual admiration of hostas was enough in this person’s mind for us to be FB friends.
