BTW, since we don't have kids, I mentor some. They love to post on facebook what they eat and it is a fun way for us to share fun stuff in common. I've also made friends with some of their friends via fb food pictures and our joking around. One moved away to San Diego for school and to live and maybe start a family... she came up for a visit last month and wanted to see me to catch up and talk about her relationship issues. The other took me out for my birthday and for father's day last year now that she is successful and making money. It is really amazing how much you can impact others just keeping in touch and being supportive when needed. I look at facebook and other social media places like SI here as very important parts of my life now. I saw it coming back in the early 1990s when I made so many international friends between 1984 and when AOL gave access to the masses on the geeky usenet... rec.windsurfing, rec.audio.high-end, etc.... I tried to profit with it by working at Suite101 for options after leaving HP in 1998, but so did so many others and only Zuckerber was the ultimate winner....
