Don’t judge me but I had to do the unthinkable, swore I never would.
I got on Facebook. Every dam thing is “see us on Facebook”.
Want see what bands are playing at a tiki bar, Facebook.
Want find something for sale, FB.
I actually emailed a marina about slips, bands, arrangements. You know what I back? “Go to Facebook it’s all on there”.
They wore me down, I gave up and joined.
Everything is “see us on Facebook” it’s crazy.
My daughter spent the day teaching me how to navigate this thing.

I gave as little I could to join. Daughter teaching me things, like “don’t post your food/breakfast pics, everyone hates that”. I am learning how to not be a FB jackass.
Ok, ya ya ya, nobody taught me that on here.
 
3 years ago, I deactivated mine. 6 months ago, I had to turn it back on to sell a golf cart. Immediately after it sold, I deactivated it again.

Before that, I deactivated it every night before my birthday and reactivated it after my birthday. I hate people sending me HBD that I haven't talked to in years. If its important to them, they text me...
 
Have never done facebook. however I did buy at IPO and still have it.
 
All the years I been at CSX, railroad, seen a lot of folks get in deep sht over social media. Kept me off that crap. But retiring 9/7, so what the heck. Time to join GenY, Z, Millenials, something like that.

Maybe a special meal is ok like a big Anniversary meal. But breakfast on a regular basis, no way.
 
I use it as a news feed only…… I posted some comments in my neighborhood room and got attacked….. my wife said I was banned now from posting…… I couldn’t help myself yesterday when A guy posted he was not happy someone left a poop bag on his driveway and was attacked on Facebook and I came to his defense and my wife lost it….. giving me shit for posting

If you want to F with the marketing algorithm do a check in at any and all places you see that are strange as heck and have no intentions of visiting
 
And here you were worrying about what to do if you retire. Man, between this forum and now Facebook there ain't enough hours in the day!!

My list of friends has gotten smaller over the years on FB. Like you said, you can only take looking at pictures of burgers and scrambled eggs for so long.
 
I'm on FB. I'm part of a raw feeding group, one Mercruiser group and a Motorcycle group. I have a few family members I keep in contact with via messenger and purchase through FM marketplace. Other than that it serves no purpose.
 
I often wanted to look up hours of certain businesses that didn't have a web site but were on farcebook. So I joined. The first post I read was about a lady that wasn't feeling well, but was better because she had a good poop that day.

I still don't have any "friends", but often view some of the local boating sites.
