I am not a diehard Facebooker. I visit sporadically at best. I view Facebook as socialized busy-bodying. You can be up in everyone's business and no one is the wiser (except you of course as you are now fully apprised of what all your Facebook friends are up to in their lives - complete with [...]

Directions ala fast food…
