In honor of Sunday, here are my own coping strategies for giving up Facebook in Lent.
10. Call friends at random and say: “Tom is just hanging out after an exhausting day. Whew! Good to be home! ;-)”
9. (Add, to the friend: “I just winked but you can’t see it because this isn’t Facebook.”)
8. Read a book until I get frustrated by the long paragraphs.
7. Hand out pictures of my kids to strangers.
6. Ask April (my wife): “Is today considered part of Lent?”
5. Update the inappropriate, personally compromising material on my MySpace page.
4. Poke people.
3. Tell people at work: “I friend you. Do you accept?”
2. Talk to my wife and kids until I get frustrated by the lack of control I have over the conversation.
1. Write on my wall. Literally.

I know the feeling! Gave up FB too! But, I added have mono and feel like a zombie to my list!
LOL;-)
Funnny!
I miss my friends who gave up FB for Lent! It’s amazing how many people I keep up with mainly through FB these days, rather than through phone calls, visits, etc.
Kind of puts it all in perspective, doesn’t it? :-) I gave FB up too. (Ironically, there’s a “share on FB” button on this article.)
Kim- I agree- FB can just get absurd! Now, internet Scrabble is another issue…how many more weeks??!
