I do have a Facebook account that I use for networking. Lots of musicians use it. Honestly, I mostly advertise my website, but for actual contact, facebook works well.

Just to be on the safe side, I never bring up any surgery-related tidbits when on somebody's page, although my own life is pretty much an open book.

I kinda do the same plain. I am very open about mine.. I just don't announce other peoples surgeries.

But, if I facebooked, you would know who I am etc....and then the mystery of my identity would be revealed!

Actually, it just seems to me it would become another addiction (ala LBT), and I don't have enough time as it is!

That was the master plan....

I had a 'situation' on Facebook today, after talking to co-workers I think I'm just going to delete him lol.

I had a customer find me on facebook and befriend me. I use LinkedIn & Plaxo for business 'social networking', but facebook is my personal one..

I had a customer befriend me, and he's a customer that is older and is no-nonsense, I don't ever just shoot the crap with him..so it's kind of akward for him to be on there.

That's what makes FB a little tricky. I'm usually the first one to mix and mingle my different friend types, but it's touchy to have people from work there. Not because I feel weird, but because in reality it may harm me later.

I have been burned by being too open with the wrong people in my life, but I'm insane enough that I never learn any lessons from it. :biggrin:

One part of me thinks, "Eh, F'em if they can't take it...they don't have to read it."

and the other part of me says, "Ooooh...that's not good - don't say that! Ohh..no, she said that. Hit DELETE! HIT DELETE NOW!"

(Sometimes evil side wins, sometimes the good side gets to edit me.)

But, I think I may stay away from adding too many work people. They're not friends anyway, so that makes it an easy decision.

I posted a while back about my coworker out having her baby and another coworker read it and called the mother-to-be about it. (Okay, so she was 9 months preggie, it's not like it was a secret - BUT she was annoyed that I posted about it.) In my world, it effected me since I do her job when she's out. In her world, she didn't want anyone to notice her absence (for six weeks?).

Anyway...I'd rather just keep it friends only for that reason. I DO enjoy bitching about work, so having work folks on there kinda makes that hard. (At least without stepping on toes, which in this economy - not something that above mentioned editor side of me wants to be doing!)

I have people from work on my facebook; but they are also my friends.

Customers are a whole other thing for me, I haven't met a lot of them and I don't need what they figure out about me to be what I piddle around on Facebook with. I definitely don't want to have to think, "Should I post this when a customer is reading?" everytime I do something.

I deleted him.. if he brings it up, I'll send him to Plaxo..

Brandy - we are under the cone of silence; he can't hear us.

Could you repeat that?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
