I convalesced (and got really fat) last year, which placed me in a 'monitoring' role at work- which consisted of pretty much nothing.. facebook kept me at least doing something.. I played a few of those games such as Mafia Wars and Farmville, and I gotta tell you they have but one purpose: WASTE TIME.  I gave all my stuff away and quit the thing, and it took me weeks to thin out my 'friends' list to folks I actually know..

I've got a love/hate thing with it now, and like Kevin- I fantasize about dumping it all together.. I've reconnected with a lot of folks using it though, and I feel (strangely) that I owe it something for that..

Maybe we should create a support group for folks wanting out of that addiction.. that would be nice.
