Do your friends approve of you posting recordings of your farts?

I post them to my cousin who is on fb. He approves. But they get sent to his mobile.
I haven't posted them up on facebook. I don't intend to doing that either.
Syd and a couple of others have had to put up with a few pranked emails from me.

Its seems she was lost for spelling, punctuation and grammar geez. My eyes are burning like her badger after reading that.
 
Does anyone else just wish Facebook was never invented? It makes life so hard and I'm thinking of ditching it all together.

Talking to someone on Facebook is really really hard compared to talking face to face or on the phone. I feel so exposed sometimes. I realise I may be alone with that opinion though, my brother doesn't agree. And he is much more introverted than me

I don't have it and love that I don't. If you ditch it, you won't notice it affecting you too much.
 
It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal.

A bit worrying if you let having Facebook affect you to the point of getting rid of it.
 
Currently on day 3 of Facebook deactivation. It's pretty easy to stay off and avoid temptation as long as you're busy. when you're alone and idle you have to really fight to not log back on.

Will report back after a week of no FB.

I have the same problem with BigFooty.
 
When I deactivated my Facebook in 2012, I joined BigFooty to keep myself busy.

I've deactivated my Facebook a couple more times since then. I once had to reactivate my account for a uni group assignment.

I could probably live without Facebbok to be honest, I'm not a big poster and seeing posts of things other people do makes me feel sad.

pros/cons? any noticeable improvements in your mood or behaviour (both online and offline)?
I was thinking of just going off temporarily until the end of the semester, but if I can go 2 months with no FB then I don't see why I'd ever need to use the bloody thing again.

All pro's, really only con is losing accessible contact info to people you have met overseas. Everyone else that is worth talking to you have their mobile number, anyways.

I don't know what everyone is up to so it's good when you catch up to have a conversation where the words "yeah I saw that on facebook" aren't mentioned.

As for mood/behavior I use to get a little annoyed when friends/family would write rubbish or someone would post narcissistic things. After all some people are completely different individuals on social media as opposed to "real life". Exposed a lot less to ignorant points of view as well which is good for your sanity.

That's great to hear. You don't realise how bad the problem is until you get rid of it.

Not gonna lie, I do already feel vastly superior to these sheeple living under the thumb of Lord Zuckerberg. I am a revolutionary. They will write folk songs about me.
