My LOVE/HATE Relationship With Facebook

Okay, here's the deal:

Facebook is a time guzzler.

It's a sucker-up of TIME.

I do not like that.

BUT,

on the other hand:

I'm in touch with former students,

a Chinese student,

a former exchange student from Malaysia from 30 years ago,

relatives,

friends from different communities,

friends in my neighborhood where I find out the news, which I wouldn't otherwise even know about: like the Franks are in England!  (Who knew, but NOW, I KNOW, and I'm glad to know!)

I wish they had a Reader's Digest Condensed Version

of Facebook.
