What am I missing...I have Facebook to keep up with relatives as we're spread over three states.

I get an ad from Jacob on his magazine, but if I don't accept them as a friend, they CANNOT get into my Facebook,
only the first page which says nothing of interest and I have a phoney email there....I never use Facebook for my work, or talk about MS'ing, my family wouldn't understand. Facebook is for personal use (not work) for me and keeps me connected with those I love who live afar. What's the big deal, they have settings which are in your control only.. I find in many cases, those that don't know or participate in the subject, are always scared, lighten up, your o.k....
P.S. I found an awsome foodie group, have sold stuff on a site there in my town and many useful things I needed,
plus a private PM (like here) to make arrangements for breakfast with an old friend, and found out who's safe through our fires and would not give it up....a great source of connection on many different levels for me....
but different strokes......

Several of you are advising having multiple Facebook accounts. That is not permitted by Facebook other than that you can have one personal and one business account.

"Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It's against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.
If you want to represent your business, organization, brand or product on Facebook, you can use your personal account to create and manage a Page. Keep in mind that a personal profile is for non-commercial use and represents an individual person. Learn more about converting your profile to a Page.
If you're using your profile to represent something other than yourself, you can convert it to a Page. If you're a public figure, learn about allowing followers.
If you have 2 or more accounts, learn how to move your information into a single account. You can also add another name (ex: maiden name, nickname, former name) to your account." [www.facebook.com]

but different strokes......also, found out my high school is having a reunion, lost touch with so many having moved away.
Added: I like that is is real, using your own name, unlike here., and if you think no one can find you on the computer or google, wake up guys.....

Live consciously....

I would shrivel up and die without Facebook. There are groups for shoppers only where you can get awesome advise without repercussions. I have my personal Facebook account so I can keep up with friends and family and one for shopping and two that I started about Bichon Frises' and one for smart home sharing.
