Man and I thought I was utterly addicted to FB.
I'm getting better. I can usually go from bedtime one night to getting home from work the next day Of course, I am blocked from Facebook by the IT Nazis at school
Seriously! During these trying times we should offer to help your fellow man in need. How could someone deny use of his computer in a Starbucks?
FaceBook scares me.... now i know why. they're a bunch of laptop stealing crazies!!!
Leilani you must join Facebook. Resistance is futile.
WOW! I wonder if he just got poked? Facebook's not really my thing. Judging by this poor soul, I think this is just more evidence as to why I should dedicate my time to more worthy things...like SportsCenter. :)
