Green Dash Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 My main reason for joining was to maintain better contact with my siblings and cousins who are literally in all four corners of the US, also a sister in Japan. All the other cool stuff is a huge bonus. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No facebook, twitter or other hooptydo crap for me. No phone that's smarter than me, no Green BlueTooth, texting or i pad either! It's bad enough I need to talk to people at all!

Popular Post Green Dash Posted March 22, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2015 It's definitely serving it's purpose for me. Within the first 2 hours I talked to my sisters in MN and Japan, cousins in NY and NC, and nieces in OR and Japan. I'm not one to want to spend a lot of time on the phone and as a result I don't speak to family members for months at a time. At 52, I'm the youngest of my generation with the oldest in her late 60's. FB will help to prevent me from being in a situation in the future where I wish I would have kept in contact when I had the chance. 4 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Good for you! I have no relatives left but 2 sons and a sister who has refused to talk to me since I came home from Vietnam in 1972. If I use my cel more than a dozen minutes a year it's a lot. Not really a social person, but that's how I was raised. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post farmer52 Posted March 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2015 Since I am an engineer I like technology but all this new "crap" (facebook, ipad, smartphones, etc.) is worthless in my book. Has it really improved our quality of life? I get tired of seeing people walking/driving around in a daze texting or talking on their phones. Only the wifey and my mom are important to me (well maybe some BMT people). Wifey knows how to get in touch with me when we are not together and mom is almost deaf and in a nursing home with dementia. Otherwise, call and leave a message or send an email. If you call, send me an email so I can make sure the cell phone is turned on. I do like bluetooth in my car if I want to talk while driving.As I said before, I have more important things to do....even it if is nothing.Done with rant...going back to my corner... 5 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 For what you want to use it for, I think it's a great thing. Mind you, it has a lot of draw backs. but I guess so does everything. Enjoy catching up with your family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Threw a friend request at you Green Dash. The others are right, there are tons of Facebook Groups for truck enthusiasts. There are lots of assholes, too......But also, its a great way to stay in touch with friends and family that you dont see regularly. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bigdogtrucker Posted March 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2015 A lot of people say it's useless,no good,get's you into trouble ect...It all comes down to self control.If you go on there looking for old girlfriends(and your married)prob. won't end well . Go on there looking to stay in touch with friends/family,join groups of your favorite hobby then it's great. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
