Random Facebook Questions...

Facebook friends, please don't be insulted, but I've been wondering. What are the etiquette rules that apply to Facebook? What rules do you follow? Do you "friend" anyone and everyone that asks you? Do you look at the "people you may know"? If so, do you request them as your friend if you knew them way back when, you were in their group one summer at camp, or you think their name might look familiar? Where do you draw the line on secondary friends? Like, husbands and kids of your friends? And then what do you do when your friend gets divorced? Do you un-friend their husband? And what about your past? Do you "friend" ex-boyfriends? Also, what about family? Do you "friend" all of your relatives? Do you worry if you don't accept someone's friend request?

Facebook brings a whole new layer of compexity into my life. I want to know the "Emily Post's Rules of Facebook". I always used to ask my mom on the proper way to handle any situation. I'm thankful that she'll still answer my calls and tell me when I'm supposed to write a thank you, how I can graciously decline an invitation, or when I should send a card or gift. But, Facebook is a whole new world. So, what do you do?

I love Facebook. Being on the other side of the world from those that I hold dear, Facebook gives me a window into their world without either of us sending daily emails or making phone calls. I'm able to see what's going on in their world. I can pray for them and offer them encouragement. I also LOVE pictures! It is amazing to see how much people can change, especially all of my friend's kids. Facebook is also hard. Some days it just reminds me of how much I'm missing and then I just sit at the computer and cry.
