No Social Media Please, I'm already in a Relationship....

I am positive that only a handful of people I know are NOT on a social networking site like Facebook.  This type of technology is a wonderful invention as long as it is kept at arms length and used for the right purpose.  I am NOT SAYING DELETE FACEBOOK, just try to remember the people in your life and how important they are to you.  Some of them deserve more than a quick chat or a post.  There will come a time when you(we all) realize it is time to get off the computer and back to the "real world".  These warning signs just may help:

1.  There are too many requests from your ex's weirdo family that want to keep in touch eventhough it has been over 15 years...
2.  People post rude comments and pictures on your wall...
3.  You recieve pokes from your ex's and their friends...
4.  There are weird quizes about certain people you never want to think about that way...
5.  Your "friend" posted embarassing pictures of you....and gave out way too much info
6.  Your creepy ex stalks you on facebook and twitter wherever you go...
7.  You recieve chat requests from people you never really wanted to talk to, you just accepted the friend request to get rid of them.
8.  You are constantly checking your newsfeed or posting every 15 minutes, even at work.
9.  You actually care what happens in "farmville"....
10.  You forget birthdays unless 'Facebook" reminds you..

Basically these sites seem to be set up for singles and people who genuinely are NOT sincere, I mean how much thought does it take to send someone a birthday card---you know by mail?  It is user beware folks.  I am sure many an arguement has happened due to a post, chat , or email from an ex causing problems. Your best defense: An Ex is An Ex so keep it that way!  Setting limits, trusting your signifigant other, managing your "friends" list can help, but make time for the real people in your life that are closest to you in the real world, not farmville.....
