My Facebook Experience
My children begged me to get on Facebook
Because they are girls and changed their names when they married
They knew their friends could spell my name
Few people have our last name
And almost no one spells Karen with a C
Like my mother did
I opened an account, not understanding it much
Looking up names of people I used to know was addictive
I spent hours sending friend requests
I also found other Carens with my spelling
I sent them friend requests
Got a warning from Facebook
There were complaints about this
If I did not stop contacting Carens, they were shutting my account down
I put my grandchildren’s pictures up
My children objected; apparently sex traffic people can use those photos
So, I took them down
Now I post photos of my dogs and my artwork. I feel safe so far.
