Didn't rely on the "accuracy" of Facebook. I mainly do Facebook for keeping up with family and friends we've moved away from. I think I might have a total of 40 friends on it? I'm not sure. Then I go through periods of time when I delete people I might not be in contact with anymore, etc. It can be time consuming. You get on it and then look at the clock and realize you've been on it for 30 or more minutes.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-37780885629651819622017-08-21T19:36:35.206-07:002017-08-21T19:36:35.206-07:00Gotta love Facebook!
