Skie, I use Facebook rarely... I joined when some of my kids' friends sent me emails asking me over. It's fun to get random FB messages from all of them, especially since they all spent many an afternoon at our house while growing up. I like being able to keep up with all my extra kids! It was handy for my 30th high school reunion too. It really simplified finding a large number of the 900 in our graduating class. I've reconnected with some old college friends this way too.
