 ML> Maybe. The other day I got an e-mail from Lilli telling me
 ML> to check on Facebook for her latest stupidity, which turned
 ML> out to be leaving behind her purse containing passport,
 ML> money, credit cards, and $200 prescription reading glasses
 ML> at Costco - the day before the trip to Japan she wanted me
 ML> to go on (I pled overbudget and undertime).

I trust that she was able to retrieve it without incident...?  At least
you were spared a breakneck drive (if it took that)... (G)

 ML> I took the opportunity to check on a woman I recently dated
 ML> and a couple colleagues: spent about 10 min total on it and
 ML> closed it up. I have 145 friends! Mostly real ones. I thought
 ML> I had 150, but maybe a few have defriended me.

Or maybe they've passed on, or at least off FB...  

 NB>> Sounds like you use your account responsibly
 ML> And not like the way the proprietors would prefer, as it
 ML> doesn't earn them any revenue.

Such a shame... ;)

 ML>> As they say, the difference between friends and relatives
 ML>> is that you can choose your friends. In-laws, that's even
 ML>> worse.
 NB>> Can be.  I know I was very blessed with my in-laws, especially my
 NB>> mother-in-law, who was my best friend and cohort in adventures, mainly
 NB>> genealogic...  but you know how her other daughter-in-law turned out.
 ML> They're a mixed bag. If you like them, you tend to drop the
 ML> in-law part, and if you don't, you emphasize it.

Indeed.  :)

 ML>> Of course, and to potentially get some small revenue from
 ML>> a resource that otherwise wouldn't produce any at all.
 NB>> Yup.  Like the remainder sales at the grocery...  ;)
 ML> After all, the business seat that they're trying to sell
 ML> off for $200 or $500 or $1000 is going to spoil in a short
 ML> time. The bad part is that they're actually selling it,
 ML> and if they didn't do that, it would have gone to me and
 ML> the likes of me for $0. Ah, life is hard.

Sigh.   ;)
