I'd retort...

But, while grabbing my bells as I rush out the door... I became distracted, those silver bells are kind of shiny  :thatsright:

What fancy bells you have sir!

I assure you you couldn't keep up with the two of us but I said "FLIRT" not have "hot monkey love".   :whatever:

Did you use the word "flirt"? I did not see that. I did see the words "hit on" though. And that is exactly what I did. And you seem so sure that I could not keep up with the two of you, am I to assume that you and Schade have prior experience at this?  :bow:

I'll try a different tact, since BEG has revealed herself to be all talk and no action:

BEG, I was looking at your high school pictures on Facebook. You were a very pretty girl back then. But you are WAY hotter now.

NEW YORK - In an about-face following a torrent of online protests, Facebook is backing off a change in its user policies while it figures how best to resolve questions like who controls the information shared on the social networking site.

The site, which boasts 175 million users from around the world, had quietly updated its terms of use — its governing document — a couple of weeks ago. The changes sparked an uproar after popular consumer rights advocacy blog Consumerist.com pointed them out Sunday, in a post titled "Facebook's New Terms Of Service: 'We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever.'"

They rescinded their new TOS. I just saw that message on facebook this morning.

Terms of Use Update


Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.

If you want to share your thoughts on what should be in the new terms, check out our group Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.

One?  One request.  Thanks guys.  Really.  I thought we were friends.   :lmao:

I just wanted to add that I had both for a while.  Myspace was too dramatic for me.  Not to mention I got hit on too much.  Seriously, I had three different boys tell me they loved me in one year.  WTF?  You love a myspace page?  Whatev.  Anyway, 1/2 my family is on facebook not to mention a ton of old high school friends and a bunch of friends, here locally.  I enjoy it.  It is the best way for me to keep contact since I am so not a phone person.

 :-*

I'll be your friend! =o)

Heck that happened to me over at TOS.
It was bad enough that I was checking my stove everyday when I got home to see if any of my pets were boiling.

I'll be your friend!

Facebook is a lot more private by default than myspace. I'm sending my link out to some of you that ive know longer. But don't mention the name crockspot in any postings please. I try to keep my real name completely disassociated from my handle. I don't need to be burying any moonbats in my back yard.

Of course not.  You bury them in public parks.

I thought everybody knew that.

I don't have a facebook account for the same reasons that FD mentioned.

I've met up with over a dozen people that I haven't talked to in over 15 years.

People that I used to be very close to but after years of limited/ no contact I don't necessarily want to talk to on the phone for an hour.

Facebook allows us to catch up without actually have to "talk."

I leave it to you to decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Through a friend of mine in Peoria, I found out that a couple folks were trying to get in touch with me. I now think Facebook is the greatest thing ever.

If they were friends, why couldn't they find you?

Oh, and just ignore those new credit cards opened in your name....


Because I moved 1700 miles away.

If they get any new credit cards in my name, that's fine with me. Now if they buy a huge house in my name, I would insist on moving in.

I  am pretty generous with my personal info. Alot of folks here know where I live & work. Of course, if I posted the name of the company I work for, I would get canned for sure. (darn rulz) It's a name that everyone knows.

In fact, a young lady from both this board and TOS showed up to take me to lunch one day, it was quite the surprise and very nice of her.  :naughty:

Maybe I am just too trusting. But I hold a high value of trust towards my friends, including my online friends. Hopefully someday we can all meet (or meat  :drool:) up sometime.

They were waiting until my credit score was high enough to make it worth their while.  :whatever:

I agree.

One of my best friends from high school and his family have been on my mind lately. He found me on facebook, he just signed up.
