“Schmuckbook is about who you went to high school with.”
Oddly enough, my high school friends are nearly to a person polite and thoughtful. I wish half my family were as polite and thoughtful.
I joined Facebook right after my mother's funeral. I was amazed and pleased how many of my high school and street “homies” came to her funeral. My parents had a big yard for my little WV town. Our yard was kid's sports central! We played every sport imaginable in that yard and a few unimaginable. My mother would come out and bring us water, lemonade, etc. Dad would come out and give his 2 cents in “coaching”. Everyone remembered that! I was quite touched that all who were still local were there. So I now use Facebook to keep in touch with them.
Now as I near retirement I might move back there. My wife is not too keen on the idea. She's a sort of “big city” girl, grew up near Philadelphia. I could go back there, I have simple requirements, books to read (already got most of them!), local gym (several commercial plus community center gyms are now there!) to work out in & now do “old people” martial arts.
I have simple needs but complicated thoughts! They don't need much space!
