Refuse to grow up, or refuse to become friends with newer, improved selves?

But sometimes it's okay to accept the person as a friend and then watch what he or she is posting.

You can always defriend later if the FB friendship thing doesn't work out. Or "hide" them on FB or "block" their posts. Or ignore their posts.

And sometimes, people grow up and it's nice to become friends with their newer, improved selves.
Agreed, I have about 12 friend requests just sitting unanswered. Don't think I want them as my friend and I don't want them to keep re-attempting to friend me.

I refer my friends to the answer my Northern friend gave some time ago.

Hey Colchar, does that sound too much like an answer from 'PM Questions' time in Parliament? :D

I know this will firmly place me as a nerd on these boards for all time, but I was totally reminded of Gandalf when Tyler Thornton stopped Maryland last night, slamming his staff into the stone of the bridge, and bellowing, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" :wizard:

You know Ogre is one of the Vikings in the Capital One commercials? In the one with the goat getting into the nightclub, he's the one saying to the bouncer "But we're with him".

Finally, an admission from the county that the spam blocker is dead. Today's most exciting is for "phallic uppers." :-o I have to admit, the spam has much more interesting titles than the legitimate stuff.

Sam just found this Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=34780428009

He was looking up Mike Krzyzewski and found this page. I admit it. We're a little punchy. I laughed until I cried.

Called the office, and talked to one mad secretary, who said there's freezing rain coming down in the varnish zone, and the parking lot has been scraped to a nice veneer of ice.

It would probably be safer for me to go to work than stay here. B is playing table tennis on the Playstation Move, and the living room isn't safe. Apparently it's a game for the ages.

How is the Move? Do you play it at all? I've been considering it, but we've already got a Wii, so I'm trying to decide.
