Oh ho ho. The mom joke. Y'know, I use it as a bit of a punchline, but my family dynamics are such that a bit of busybodyness on the part of my mom back in December has resulted in a rift between her mother, sister, and niece. All due to her getting involved with a FB entry from a nephew of my stepfather. I need this convoluted shiat in my own life? No, I do not. The common wisdom seems to be that I'm somehow over-reacting, or that my concerns could all be addressed through FB's privacy settings. So, I did some poking around on teh intarwebs to find out what problems other people might have with FB. Mainly because I kept hearing about Mark Zuckerberg's slippery grasp of privacy and property. Sadly, I have not been reassured. So, while it sounds like a swell time will be had by all, for now I'm going to remain Facebook free. If I could set up a trial account, and back out of it if I didn't dig it, I might feel better. Apparently, though, closing a FB account is next to impossible. Wikipedia has an illuminating article on the whole thing. I'm sure it was written by the same crazy people who think that climate change is real, and that the homo-sex is a valid lifestyle choice.

Still available by snail mail, e-mail, cell phone, text message, twitter, the LoT, micechat, sky-writing, and, God forbid, in person,

Secret. Hide. Facebook. Uh yeah, experience shows it really doesn't work that way.

My mom's on facebook. She has not seen anything that I did not intend her to see.

Of course she's not crazy. Well, not maliciously crazy (she did call today to be sure CP passed along to me the medicare mass mailer postcard with my name on it).

Well, my mom isn't maliciously crazy either, but the the mom-force is very strong with her.

And I would still rather have a wasp's nest shoved up my pooper than start tweeting. So I get it. To each their own social media time waster.
