Via Facebook I was able to find one of my cousins that I haven't talked to in 20 years. He is german and lives in Frankfurt, Germany. We grew up together while my family was stationed there for 8 years. I found his name and sent him a message. He responded and now we can visit with each other. How neat is that?! We are both so excited.

Pulling people out of the ditc...
facebook is cool that it lets you reconnect with people you haven't seen in years. My old high school class has started a group, and of 325 classmates, over half have already signed up. We coordinated 2 informal get togethers this summer. I have also used to to connect with cousins I haven't seen since we were kids...

I started using facebook 2 weeks ago and have been able to reconnect with several friends from high school. I moved to a different part of the country after high school and found an old friend on facebook. It turns out she lives in the same area I now live in. We had no idea we lived so close to each other.

That's great, Okie!

I, too, am enjoying FB. I just finished talking with a good friend from high school. We are getting reaquainted after letting some things come between us. It's nice.

After reading this, and after listening to my brother talk about FB, I decided to give it a try. I was able to re-connect with an old friend in another state (that I used to live in). We had a really nice chat yesterday. My husband says I am already getting addicted.
