That is one dozen roses if you don't recognise them John.
I just click accept now when getting a friend request and go on.
I can hardly stand the site.
This is true of many people I know...however, I still love the FB for keeping me in touch with so many friends.
I am so lucky, as no one asks to friend me or is even interested in my existance on Facebook. LinkedIn is a different story and for good reason.
I am so going to friend OE Sheepdog and you!
~Snort~

And people wonder why I don't go on Facebook at all.
Surprised it's EMTs and not the coroner.
Akopsa, when it comes to binge friending "just say no!"

Suzanne, sounds like you are on safe ground with your approach to FB! Thanks for the roses!!

Alison, I have to credit FB for me now being in contact with a number of college classmates that I hadn't seen in over 20 years.

OEsheepdog, sounds like you have found a quiet corner of FB, far from the madding crowd!

Aunt Mabel, thank you!

L&P, I guess for some it is a quest like climbing Mt. Everest. Thanks for the compliment on the cartoon!

MrsRaptor, sounds like a good plan you have plan there!

AtHomePilgrim, he was lucky this time going for 6,000 friends might just be curtains, however!

FusunA, you can say that again!!
I got a bad cold the day after I friended my second person.

John, it sounds like you received a gentle, friendly warning to go easy with the friending thereby keeping the paramedics at bay!
Oh, this is 'sweet' as we used to say in the day.

;)
A new type of Face-off, or 2-faced,.....
EXCELLENT! Doesn't even need caption just the header.
Many people hate Facebook because they're elitists. Not saying you, but some. I'd be one of the elitists. Last thing I want is having a Facebook page. That's why I don't have an iPhone, the expensive version of Facebook for snoots. Well. I'm missing out. I like the iPhone. Like friggin' Facebook, it works. How does Facebook "work?" It brings hits to blogs. So if ya wants dem hits, you iPhone up, iTune you brain, and face Facebook like a man, in my case, anyway. Then there's Twitter. That works too.
One day at a time, Sweet Jesus, one day at a time.
FB and OS addict

Facebook is a necessary evil. I have a page there (who doesn't?) but I hate farming, don't want to join the mafia, and I gave up on having an aquarium in the 80's.

*Refuses 99.9% of stupid Facebook apps*

*Does answer all messages*
Everything in moderation, people.

But a great concept - rated
Thanks everybody for the great comments here! I will be responding to each comment individually tomorrow morning, but meanwhile I just wanted to express my appreciation to all of you this evening!!
I assume a routine inquiry will be done. That wife's smile is looking suspicious, and her word should not be taken. The same fact set might support a case of murder...
He should start a new group to commemorate his achievement!
Now in face book not allow to adding more friends. Too much problam. My ID on FB is ban to adding more friends before many days. I dont know when FB opan and allow me to add more friends. Any person know abt ..? plz help...
:) FB is a nice idea going over the top. Those stupid invites to stupid things, if that was gone, it would be much nicer.
Good cartoon!
Facebook membership has a fringe benefit that from time to time, I get a "Friend Request" from someone I've never known and don't know now, accompanied by a photograph of a young woman pretty much wearing pasties and a thong. Someone is reaching for 1,000, 2000, 3000, or more "Friends." Is it a morbidly obese guy in Alabama, named "Bubba" or is it really the skimpily-clad "Bimbo"? After a pleasurable moment, I click "Ignore" and move on.
Bitch slapped by Facebook!
Sparking, Brown Eyed Girl, Bob, Jane, Don, Stacey, Cypher, Bernadine, Robert, Charles, Andy, Lisa, Jali, Kent, Lorna, Ghulam, Ina, JK, Leo, LC and Gabby, thank you all for your great comments over the weekend!

I had a good laugh over the many humorous comments and also learned some things about FB from your own experiences such as hearing about people you know or have been friended by who are looking for big numbers in their friends list, like it's some major competition!
I love FB because of the first 100 friends I've found but thought were lost - it's the next 150 friends who never really mattered who continue to clamor for inclusion ... why is it that former high school snobs who never even made eye contact suddenly want to be my friend and know my life events? Am I the snob now for not wanting to share? I give them the benefit of the doubt, but it feels a bit odd to be adding people just because I recognize their names. It's caused me to use FB a lot less than when I knew my "friends" really cared! Phenomenal tool, though, and such things usually take a while to find their role in society - hope it doesn't go the way of the CB radio!
3000? I see it, but the comparison makes me feel like an unloved, lonesome, introvert
The guy needs that program that allows you to commit Facebook suicide (obliterating your account not yourself) that has go so much publicity and is giving Facebook conniption fits.
