Seriously, all of my grandparents are on FB. Not that they know how to use it. Instead of responding to someone or writing on their wall, they just write everything in their status update box. It is hilarious. And endearing.
I’m with you on the “conundrum” It is such a time waster, but I just cant shake it… Is it against FB etiquitte to untag yourself from photos? I didnt realize that such guidelines existed!?
Novel Comment. Sorry!

@Jake: hahaha – easy there Jake. I was only joking. I got over my “mourning for my youth” at 30 – so I’m set…at least until I turn 50.

@ang: Whoa whoa whoa! Ang, 35+ is not my definition of elderly. When I used the term “elderly” it was a reference to Examiner’s claim about grandparents being avid users. Anyway, there are plenty of grandparents who don’t even qualify as elderly, in my opinion. My parents and my in-laws, for example, are all grandparents, but I don’t consider any of them to be elderly. So, don’t stress it. Anyway, I’m not far behind you

ouch. I fit your criteria for an elderly woman…I’ll be 35 in March. My solace is that I can facebook about it when it happens. Actually, I’m not all that great at facebook.

Do a little more studying about women and men and you will discover that for men, spending 2 hours in a fishing boat without saying a word is considered primo male bonding, but for women, they gotta talk, whether it’s e-chat or face to face. (source: Dr. John Lund–you have the CDs)
