FB Anxiety

I really don't understand this Face Book thingy. I have joined and all the sudden these people come out of the woodwork. There are conversations going on between one person I guess I know, well I know I know. With someone else that I really don't know. And I get their conversation. Shut-up! I feel like I'm intruding on my daughter's private conversations, or my niece's or my friends. I am very uncomfortable with that. Then, I can float through pictures of people I don't even know. What's up with that? I am so ingrained about privacy issues from working at the hospital that I feel like I should turn myself into the privacy police, for being a voyeur in someone else's life. I guess that's what you sign up for, and I really didn't understand the whole concept of Face Book. So these messages come, and I don't know who they are and why are thwe messages randomly come. I am sorta getting the drift.
My niece Jaci tagged a picture, which I really don't know what that means, but I got it, so I'm guessing that anyone in the picture got it sent to them. That's pretty cool.
I do like seeing the pictures, and connecting with people I haven't seen in years. We are so out of the loop where we live, so seeing pictures of the young'uns growing up and finding out what they are doing is great. Well my guess is that there is a learning curve, and I am sure my kids could help me with this, but right now it's a little overwhelming for this old bag, ( meaning me). Technology is so cool, but it's going to take me some getting used to. Can a 56 year old adjust to this? I hope so cause, I am planning on being around at least 30 more years, and by then, who knows what will be in the works. Abe and Sam will have to help Baba through this crapola.

Hello Face Book

Alright people, I am really coming up to 2010 on the Internet social network. I just joined Face Book, and I know I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm there. I have talked to many friends and they keep asking me if I'm on and they want to see pictures of my grand kids and I would love to see their grand kids and babies too. So here I am taking the plunge.
Now just so you all know, I have no idea what I am doing yet, so if I don't accept you as a friend or don't ask you to be a friend, or don't respond, please don't take offense. I have been trying not to piss anybody off for awhile. I also do not know the etiquette, if there is any, so please be patient with my new status of Face Book entity. I will learn by doing , ( which is very scary) just as I have with blogging, which I sorta have neglected lately.
In a nutshell, cut me some slack. I am excited to be connected.
