LOL, you'd think they'd be a bit smarter about that.

That's why I don't do 'Social Networking Sites'....Lots of people I know that are on FB, for example, get tons of spam.

B-B is the only chatting site I'm on. I really don't trust them.

I don't know why that is, unless they are linking to other shit.  I've had poeple tell me, 'Oh, you've got to get on FB'....But I notice they have problems there as well, as I hear about them in an e-mail or on a site....A-a-a-nd, I don't know...

Do I want to open myself up to that ?  Not really.  The sites I'm on already take up a lot of my time, do I really want to add another place ?  Not really.  Frankly, I don't see the plus side of it for me.

I like facebook, though. Sometimes. Sometimes people bitch too much.

But I like how easy it makes keeping in touch with family around the world.

The only other communications site I use is my email.

I have a very small family and we don't keep in touch all that much anyway.  Our line came over to the US 160 years ago, and I've traced back 3 gens beyond that into old Germany.  I did find out the further origins were from what is now Poland some time before that.  But have never found records of siblings in the 'old country', and even if I had, I wouldn't know them.

Chrissy, Are you more recent origin as far as immigration to the US, such as 2nd gen, or 3rd gen ?

I'm not even going to get into the generational stuff with the numbers and crap. However, I do know that my grandfather on my Mom's side came to the U.S. from Canada when he was very young and his original wife (she dies before I was born) came from Ireland. On my Dad's side, my grandfather actually lived in the U.S. but had German heritage and my grandmother came to the U.S. from Scotland when she was 6. I think it was her father (my great grandfather) who did some of the wood work on the Titanic.

Basically, I don't have anybody to keep up with outside the US.  Hell, I talk here with you guys more than I do with what's left of my family.

I talk to people outside of the country, but they aren't family. I have a big family BTW. My grandfather used to have 15 siblings (when they were all living) and my Mom has 3 brothers and 1 sister. As you can imagine, my family is a good sized one!
