Sorry I now have a policy of only accepting friend requests on February 29th

On a serious note I rarely use the thing and cant drive it properly. I really don't know why I ever subscribed.

It's been so long I can't even remember the process but , a good start is to start wiping everything out or transferring it .

IIRC, in the early years they made it hard or impossible to delete a account in order to keep the body count high for advertizing bucks.

Which was another reason I never signed on.

I got onto it to keep track of my kids and grandkids....

Funny thing, I got a friend request from a popularly worshiped shaving Guru:
Okay after knowing of the guy for years I said OK. Funny thing I started getting spammed by his online store. Who'da thunk it?? He is still friend but all his posts are now trashed automatically.
Ditto for another friend with way too many money making businesses.
Have a friend that is a wonderful photographer.. Two or three posts of beauty a day, I can enjoy that.
Politics I do not need... I have friends that are automatically dumped into trash rather than show on my pages.
I have a friend with a warped mind...His stuff always sets me thinking...that is who sent me the bicycle video.
Like a razor; social media has an edge and may yet be the only tool for some things we need accomplished.

Getting worse, I think. I have always perused my wife's FB page. There are some now who continually advertise their business. They think everyone is blown away with their career, weight loss, politics, religion, etc. Some MUST imagine themselves as attractive. Selfies galore. NOT mellinnials either!
Cannot look any more. Horrible, but they do it every day as if someone cares.
Kindof sad, really

I never had a Fakebook account. Every time I make the mistake of getting on my wife's account to see what my relatives are posting, it makes my skin crawl. I'm convinced that Facebook more than any other factor has made people dumber and more gullible.

That said, I use the internet A LOT, and have most recently gotten an Instagram account for my razors, trout pics, flowers in my garden, travel photos, etc. Plus it helps me keep up with my son in Japan.

Apparently now there are even websites for guys who actually talk about shaving of all things-whodathunkit?
