Facebook Relationships
How many of your Facebook “Friends” have you met?
How many of them are you reconnecting with after twenty years apart?
How many did you think you’d never in this lifetime connect with…since you never connected in high school or college or at work?
Yesterday I met some new folks face-to-face I’d only chatted with via FB IM. The chats led to my first Indy car race (I picked the winner), learning to play dominoes (115 points my first game), great food, and warm hugs before joining the mob wars to exit the parking lot.
Posting comments about my work as a Nurse Practitioner and Speaker has led to people asking about their elderly mom’s or dad’s medications and health conditions, and I’ve been able to provide feedback that has made a difference.
Connecting with Professional Speakers who share FB has led to on-line learning opportunities I wouldn’t have otherwise known about, and will help me connect names and faces at the National Speaker’s Association conference in Phoenix next month.
And I’m headed to Myrtle Beach for July 4 weekend to stay with a high school acquaintance turned friend via Facebook. We had a blast over Memorial Day and the upcoming holiday should be just as fun.
So how many of you are amazed at the growth in your world and real relationships since joining this addicting site? I’d love to hear your stories, because the relationships are what it’s all about!!

The author of blog.cpkenny.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: If you have 4 brands of modems, it will always be the 4th one you choose that actually works in any given PC running Windows 98. Thanks for the info.
