Signs that you spend too much time on Facebook, and WTM

[Unicorn.]

1. Signs that I spend too much time on FB- I come here to the board, read something, and look for the "like" button. :lol:

 

2. Signs that I spend too much time here- I post something on FB, realize I misspelled something, and look for the edit button. :tongue_smilie:

 

Your turn. :D

Sign that I spend too much time here: I have a Nextel walkie-talkie phone. When I turn the W-T on and it shows "W-T spkr on", I always think "Well-Trained speaker" to myself!

[ApronMama]

LOL. I've accidentally looked for the "like" button more than once!

[TheCoffeeChick]

We should petition for a like button!! :tongue_smilie:

[Heatherwith4]

I'm always looking for the smiles when I'm on FB...like this one :lol:

I'm pretty sure one day I will say DH, DS, or DD is normal face to face conversation....that will be embarrassing. :)

A chat box would be so cool!

[clarkacademy]

What about a chat room? Didn't there used to be a site at one time where you could actually make a chat room and it was free? That would be really neat except of course some of us would probally never leave it LOL

Oh, yes. To both of these. I've caught myself several times almost saying "dh" instead of his name. :lol:

I was just trying to find the 'like' button last night.

 

And yes, I've almost called DH 'DH" when talking to friends.

You know you can delete anything you wish on FB, right? :001_smile:

This is my fear, too. :tongue_smilie:

I don't do Facebook, but I find in everyday conversation I often reference the board by starting a lot of conversations with, "oh, do you know what the ladies on "my homeschooling forum" said about xyz..." There must be a few rolled eyes by now at this oft repeated phrase. They probably wonder if I get any info from any other source (who needs to?;))

 

What's funny is that a fellow homeschooler at our co-op asked me last year if I did Facebook and I stared at her like she was insane, because I have often wondered what homeschooler has the time for that?! I barely get our lessons done-ok, seldom might be more like it-who has time for facebook? But then there are nights when I have stayed up late for a couple hours just to commune with "my homeschooling forum". Granted that is partly due to having dial-up! But without you guys I'd go nuts!:001_smile::grouphug:

Just today I was thinking this very thing!

Yes, but on FB it's not worth deleting, and then having to retype it all. My friends on FB spell worse than I do! :D

[Gwenhwyfar]

if people are interested in a chat thing, you can create them easily enough with things like tinychat and such.

You can highlight, cut and paste on FB. It's easy to make corrections that way but only convenient and sensible if you catch your mistake right away.

[thescrappyhomeschooler]

Yes to all of the above. I often look for a Like button, and I often refer to DH as DH in my head.

I wrote a note to someone and mentioned her 'dear hubby' in the note. She thought I was being sarcastic and sent me a scathing reply.:confused:

I had to explain that 'dear hubby' was a real phrase used on message boards in lieu of real names. Now I try to watch what I say and write in real life.
