re: #62 Surabaya Stew

OT: but I just had to add another FB horror story. The wife is threatening to defriend me me because I attempted to add two of her friends today, a husband and wife (Spanish and Indonesian, respectively), whom we both met up with last night and had a great 3+ hour conversation with over dinner and a long walk through lower manhattan on a beautiful summer evening. So after critizing me for not being on FB, she is now mad because I am “taking all of her friends”! Even after explaining that defriending her husband will cause no end of comments, she still upset with me.

Seriously, what the hell?!?

I used Facebook to do a little outreach to someone I hadn’t spoken to in a long time —my mother. I sent birthday greetings. She responded nicely, I responded to that, and then she comes back with a not-nice comment about the sister I don’t get along with, which is creeping up on why I don’t speak to my mom much. I was given some great advice from someone who has never even seen Facebook:

Sometimes you have to know when to do an about-Facebook.
