Hello! My parents and aunts and uncles are on here. I don't want them seeing that stuff. So first I turned off my wall entirely, and then the dumb crap like requests for games and quizzes and friends and whatnot finally made me delete my account entirely.
I found FB is really only good these days for pictures and communicating with friends overseas. I've found that the good ol' telephone call, or the nicely-written email, are more my preference for communicating these days. Whereas at one point, I was against the phone - now, I like it, since I can actually hear a voice.

And the whole 'parents' thing.. yeah, the coolness factor just goes down once they come online. Where you once could be a savage, you now have to be a gentleman.
