Avoid Facebook Excess

To experience a balanced life AVOID FACEBOOK EXCESS. Facebook is more addicting than Oxycontin. More stimulating than cocaine. And sometimes more satisfying than chocolates and ice cream.

But it can become wasteful. 

We can spend hours on captivating, but unimportant topics such as: 

• Puppy dogs chewing up carpets 
• Babies out carpet eating puppy dogs 
• Big tomatoes, bigger potatoes, biggest cucumbers 
• Videos of people skiing off rooftops...in the summer
• Photos of grandma's 117th birthday 
• Reading useless factoids such as there are more than 100 US citizens who have lived to be 117
• Photos of What-A-Great-Time-I-Had-On-My-North-Pole-Vacation-Wearing-My-Bikini
• Solving Where Is Waldo? puzzles
• Reading political rants, PC rants, Longhorn football rants, and Aggie jokes. 

I am not advocating avoiding Facebook altogether. Unembellished personal entries bless those who care about us and we are grateful for news and photos of our friends. 

Everything in moderation applies to most activities including Facebook.
