You can always make friends the time tested way sans internet. I mean, the chances that we're going to hook up with you in person are remote. And despite nice posts, we could be double headed dwarfs with a hand growing out of our forehead and you might want to reconsider.
I love the internet and SR, but it's no replacement for physical human contact, even if it's by phone.
That being said, I have a friend in another country and our only interaction is by email. He said the phone is too expensive and it's the same for me. I'm too lazy to figure out Skype.
Also, I'm hesitant to do anything over the internet (especially banking) that would make me vulnerable to speed freaks with plenty of time on their hands to hack me.
Despite the pop-ups, the internet does rule, and I'm a full fledged addict. But Facebook? No. I only need a few friends who I can call, not 100.
You're not a loser because your Facebook friend count is dwindling. Get a dog and go for a walk in the park. You'll meet friends that way. Perhaps even romance if you want it.
I actually don't have a dog because I'm not seeking romance (and for other practical reasons), but I know it's a great ice breaker.
Plenty of folks here at SR have pics of their cute animals for their avatar.
Where is the ferret cheese? That's my big question. But the cost would be phenomenal. A cottage industry doomed from the get-go. But perhaps there are some people with the funds to buy something like that.
