FAREWELL FB... HELLO REAL LIFE!!! :D

"YEP... I'm sure I want to deactivate my FB account" and so I did! After close to 10 years, on 4 Oct 2017, that relationship has ended! Why did it happen? Here we go... 

One day about a month ago, I was stuck in traffic on my way to work... so I took a shortcut. I drove past a bunch of HS kids standing around waiting on their school bus. Only 2 of about 9 were talking to each other. The others were staring at a little 3x6 gadget with DUMB, BLANK expressions on their faces. I kept driving and saw more of the same from people driving next to me stopped at lights. Since that day, I would notice people walking to their cars in parking lots and at bus stops and intersections, just frozen, staring at their phones as if they were hypnotized. I realized I did the same when I woke up, when I was stopped at a light, and when I was bored. Seeing all this made me realize WE LOOK STUPID and ignore a whole lotta life! (Don't be offended, just a former AF Drill Sergeant keeping it 100% real).

And so, I took a month off from FB. I noticed a lot of personal conversations from people would start off with, "Did you see my post?" or "Did you see what so and so wrote?" No, actually I didn't and it felt good to NOT KNOW. I found more time to concentrate on my life with God and Family. (I did the same with 24 hour news...)

Sooooooooooo... Finally today, I went into my FB account, SETTINGS, and clicked "Download a copy of your Facebook data". FB sent me a message in about 30 mins saying everything was archived and ready to download. I saved ALL of my photos, then deactivated my account... IT FEELS GOOD!!! Below is a link telling you how if you're interested. 

***HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY FRIENDS!*** :D
