I am not very good on FB. I'm getting to where I know to avoid religion, ses and politics, but I still put stuff on there about my weight or my health.

If anyone has just a little set of guidelines or rules, for FB etiuqette, please pm me.

Thanks,

I used to have a FB account but over time I became disillusioned and canceled it. To me that's the best thing anybody can do since we can't control other people and many of them are true scum.

I can't manuver around Facebook. I'm computer challenged. So I never go on it! I also went under an assumed name so certain people can't find me.

I agree it the dancing Frog. I too left FB as many just set around and read what you write to go back and tell everyone.

Hey there,

I have my own set of rules I use when I post on Facebook. I have a younger cousin who is a friend, so I avoid any posts with strong language and sexual content. I always ask myself, "Would I want her to see it?"

Regarding religion and politics: I have friends who post on such topics and I typically ignore the posts. I have also found the "I Don't Want to See This" and the "Unfollow XXXX" to be very helpful.

I feel that there is nothing wrong with posts regarding your weight or your health. I think that gives your friends notice as to what is going on in your life. If you have a supportive group of friends, you may receive encouragement to stick to your diet, congratulatory messages when you lose weight and some prayers if your health isn't so great.

I do avoid posting updates on my mental health. Unfortunately, a lot of people I know are either ignorant or unaccepting.

Hope this helps!

I like FB... I played a game on there for years and I see a lot of members from here over there as well as distant family photos...

I put on there what I'm comfortable with the world knowing ( not that they'd care smile) but things that it doesn't bother me to put out there..

I do support mental health on there.. I belong to a couple of BP groups...I'm not involved with them however I do want to support and spread support for mental illness

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
