I'm generally at my least sympathetic when under obligation. The temptation to come out with some flippant comment is almost too much. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-65677005653921997912011-03-28T19:47:05.746-07:002011-03-28T19:47:05.746-07:00ha Li - the sign is funny.

Indeed Oilfield - we all need some fb depression. Really Mollie - it was Lidia's actually. I don't think Pearl is on fb. she might be though as I have sort of lost track. I think they breed isolation Empress; I have voted, tho. Well cheer up Jennifer. You know they're having a crappy time really. For sure JoLynne. I once questioned in an update why I found myself browsing through wedding pics of people I didn't even know. I know Daisy, some people post for the hell of it... mind you I have been guilty myself. I know Leah. and if nobody comments on your status you feel like a leper, thanx for stopping by. For sure Tim. It was weird pics weren't posting yesterday.I cleared a few things and it seems OK today. Yeah I save the best til last Lidia.

Some update every ten minutes (or so it seems). Others give very private information that no one really wants to read. And others post the most boring, inane statuses that no one could possibly care about. I hadn't thought about Facebook causing depression, but I suppose that is possible.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-23990033011798659232011-03-28T16:18:23.674-07:002011-03-28T16:18:23.674-07:00Apparently fb is not as good as twitter for separa...Apparently fb is not as good as twitter for separating the happy from the unhappy--another study says tweeters tend to divide themselves into two camps that don't interact.

It seems whenever I'm in a bad mood or feeling lonely, facebook makes it worse because I see all my friends posting pics of themselves looking gorgeous and having a good time and commenting with each other and I'm ignored and fat and ugly and alone. Lol. It really does drag my self-esteem down pretty low sometimes. I know that sounds stupid, but...sigh. :(Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-60109304238707441422011-03-28T14:53:15.988-07:002011-03-28T14:53:15.988-07:00It is interesting that facebook, the twatter and a...It is interesting that facebook, the twatter and all those other social networking sites are meant to share information / connect people but in reality, countless hours are lost with people sitting in front of their computer screens instead of them being out there in the real world living their lives.<br /><br />On another note, thanks for helping me make it through to the next round in the blogging tournamnet.
