Give buffy a break with the cell phone. It took us forever to get her on facebook.

The reason my FB site is ultra-private is because I have two types of friends. Ultra-religious ones that are in their own stratosphere, and normal friends. I don't want the real religious ones reading stuff my more normal friends write. Perhaps I should unfriend my Christian relatives. (Wouldn't that be unChristian of me?)

I don't Skype and I'm not a twit, either.

Texting, BYC & FB are good enough for me.

I LURVE BYC. I really do - I've learned so much getting to know how other people live and think. I couldn't get that if I just had a cell phone.

What should I do about FB? I'd really only want to pal with you guys. I think the only solution would be to unfriend the ones I only have on there as a duty.

Buff, I believe you do have the option of leaving them friended but not allowing them to see your wall. I think. I am so not a facebook expert. My MOM forced me to get a facebook. I do enjoy posting hateful things though. And chicken pix. And pictures of dogs on chairs on porches.

Well, if you can't be yourself around them, then they aren't really friends, right?

I have friended some of the weirdest people on fb due to games, and then come to like them a lot. I guess I'm weird that way. I know virtual friends better than most of my neighbors.

I tend to unfriend the folks that do nothing but curse or post sexual stuff. I don't mind cursing, as a general rule, but only if it's well-placed and not constant. That probably makes no sense, but it does to me. And the sexual stuff can get pretty disgusting.

So, Buffy, you'd pass my friend requirements

My 8 year old took a dictionary to school the other day to read for fun.

I never used to see the kid read, even though the school tells me he's reading 4 grade levels above his grade. I used to get popular fiction books out of the library to try to tempt him, but he wouldn't touch them. I finally realized he prefers non-fiction books. So the last time I went to the library I got books on electricity, magnets, building robots, making paper airplanes and space exploration. He didn't want to give them back. He held airplane races in the living room and put Electric Mischief on his Christmas List.

He's obviously an alien creature.
