MattI've found a downside to leaving #Facebook (or #Farcebook as a friend calls it):
If your only connection to someone was on that site, you've lost them.
So, Traci - if you're out there - happy birthday.

sb arms & legsYeah, keep on telling me how #meta isn't that bad and it won't (eventually) effect you:
