    So..does BP.net count as social networking?

    I am obsessed with social networking. I'll be the first to admit, I have a problem. Picture me holding up my finger to a customer's face mid-sentence so I can update my Facebook status. I still log into MySpace for cryin' out loud! I know I'm going to hear crickets. I know there's no message from a 62 year old Guy in Florida who just wanted to tell me I'm cute. But I have to check anyway! I don't text and drive. But it does take me an hour to go five miles if I'm in a text convo because I NEED to pull over and respond! It simply cannot wait until I get home. I'm not proud of it, but I am in fact "that" chick.

    My boyfriend hates it. He logs into Facebook once a month to update his status to reflect how much he hates Facebook. He doesn't try to tell me not to do it, he just asks me everytime I touch my phone what I'm doing. Then he scowls

    Since joining this site, I don't spend as much time on Facebook. Now when he asks what I'm doing, I'm like, "Nothing. Just reading some snake stuff." And when I'm done, I'm gonna tell you what I saw earlier on Facebook! (I kid). He doesn't get bent at all! I can read "snake stuff" all day long, no problem!

    I think you guys are having a positive impact on my relationship! Thank you, Off-Topic Cafe! Now! What's everyone's Elf on a Shelf doing?!

    I am seriously addicted to this site. I am always logged in, more so than Facebook. I can't stand 75% or more of my Facebook friends honestly. The only time I check it is to look at the reptile groups, and reptile classifieds.

    I think we must be the only people with kids who don't have an elf on the shelf...my poor girls!

    Re: So..does BP.net count as social networking?

    I'm not clear on the elf either. It's some Christmas thing a lot of my mom-friends are always facebooking about. From what I gather, you make a mess and tell your kids the elf did it?

    I'm probably wrong. I'd love to know how it really works though, if anyone here knows!

    One of my favorite things to do is to update my status with a funny quote of the day. Guess what my Facebook status is going to be in about ten seconds? Nine...eight...seven....

    I quite enjoy this site: I've learned so much from it and I'd like to think I've helped others with my suggestions or opinions. Wouldn't say I'm addicted though (though I do jump right on to show off a new addition right when I open up the package), and I personally hate Myspace and FB: I may be one of the only 21 year olds who don't have one.

    It's a type of social networking. We socialize and make useful contacts. It's almost drama free and I really like that.

    I saw (on some stupid FB post) an elf squatting and filling a snickerdoodle (the Hershey's Kiss kind) on a shelf. That was the only time I've heard of Elf on the Shelf until this thread. Now I'm hoping the typical elf career is not baking cookies for Christmas parties.

    You're my favorite responder when I post something other than nonsense! For real. If I have a legitimate question, or am reading a post by someone else with a good question, I actually hope for you to respond.
    You're to-the-point and knowledgeable without coming across like an arrogant wench. Now that I think about it, I could probably learn more than good snake care habits from you!

    Nope, you're not alone. I have no idea what an Elf on a shelf is.

    Yes, my phone is logged into tapatalk 24/7. I get on first thing in the morning with my coffee. While my house sleeps, I bp.net...
