    Someday...when all that are left are "fragments" of this civilization, someone will find that reprint and archive it as "fact."

    Then who will have the last laugh...????

    @GitEmSteveDave_Galactica1980: Corporal (later Sergeant) Max Klinger was played by Jamie Farr. Both the actor and the character were from Toledo, OH.

    But Jamie Farr is of Lebanese descent, so nice mashup with that Lebanon, OH thing.

    Toledo has some good Lebanese food, in addition to Tony Packos (which you can order online):

    Let's be clear, folks: even if it's stalker-like, meant as stalking, or full-out stalking, this is the way the world communicates now. Why NOT get w/ your kids this way?

    Change requires changed approaches . . .

    Although I have kids of my own my 12 year old niece is the only kid that I have some authority over that is on Facebook. When she added me I told her that I would correct the spelling in all of her status postings until she learns to spell like a real person.

    She stopped typing like shit within about 3 days.

    My kids are too cool for Facebook and Twitter. They have their friends come to them in person. Their social network is usually sitting on my couch playing Xbox and eating my food.

    adding parents on facebook is the digital equivalent of not moving out.

    PS: If i ever found out that my parents stalked me on facebook with a fake name ... wow ... trust gone from a lot to zero

    @jackburnt: I was simply responding to the adding parents on Facebook part, not actually the whole stalking-your-ass-down-and-adding... you part. Adding a parent/uncle/aunt on Facebook may not always require them hunting you down.

    @osprey: That's a pity, but like medication, individual results may vary.

    Why not something effective like: "Dear Jeff, I had money ready to send you this weekend, but since you were out drinking with all your friends and didnt call me, you apparently dont need it, so your dad and I are going to the sex toy shop to spend it. Dont call next weekend, we will be busy trying out the new toys".
