I'm sorry, Jason. I didn't mean to come off as rude or defensive. I seem to be "having a day" with everyone today.

If I were to sign up again, I'd be really picky about who I friended.

A good idea. As with Subsim, All my friends there are either real friends or aquaintances or people I've actually had dealings with online. The guys in my band are "friends". Their wives and girlfriends too, as well as one brother of our main guy, who I've met with a lot. On the other hand his other brother and more distant relatives are not, as I don't really know them. I seem to have a lot of FB "friends" (43 the last I checked), but they are all people I've met or know from Subsim.

On a side note, I'm glad to hear that you found more of your family. Have you found any other "long/lost people?"

Oh yes indeedy. I recently got a request from someone I knew in a church group long ago. This led to a few others, and one of them was a guy I also played in a band with back then. It turns out he's had a 25-year career as a recording engineer and producer, and that led to us now being in his studio for our current project. We've done a lot of catching up, and he and the guys in the band really like each other, and we spent eight hours laying down tracks yesterday, and we can already tell that he's going to do a great job for us.
So yeah, FaceBook's been good to me.

I found people from elementary school, that I hadn't seen since I moved in 82.
