I am active in my small town community so I have some local contacts that I have nit met but we talk on FB all the time. I was at our communuty art center & met her.....we chuckled & bith said it's really awesome to meet each other IRL.
I am also involved with horse groups around the area....FB keeps me current in all the activities. It also keeps me in touch with the people I left in Calif 10 years ago especially my horse trainer there & others associated with the ranch...& other friends I didn't want to lose contact with. FB has been a blessing for me.
