I've had a couple of people ask to friend me that I have absolutely no memory of, presumably by finding me on friends lists of my contacts. I get that we may have attended the same school and passed each other in the hall once or twice, but if we never interacted in any meaningful way, why friend each other 22 years later?

why friend each other 22 years later?

Yeah, the Facebook-induced amnesia is a curious thing, and seems to be striking a bunch of my old classmates. My guess is they're new to social media and they seem to be going on a spree. "Let's friend everyone I've ever met! Wheeee!"

I find that element of Facebook to be really unsettling. I left my hometown behind for good reason. Why are you people chasing me down?

This Ambien isn't doing a dent in letting me sleep through this pain. Steph! How much is too much?

You should be able to take two, ita, though that's a fairly high dose. I wouldn't do more than that without talking to your doctor, though.

I took three. Probably not wise, They're kinda staggered.

Are they 10 mg? Or 5? If you took 3 5-mg pills, that's okay. But 3 10-mg pills is awfully high.

I set up Facebook but haven't had the time to do anything more than respond to requests sometimes. They didn't have my high school listed, which ok since I don't have any memory of anyone there. I sent my son a friend request and he hasn't responded, which is fine.

Funny, I'm dealing with a weird friending right now. A guy I actually was close to in high school but lost touch with and who later completely freaked me out with long, passionate letters about how much I'd changed his life and how he spent a year living alone on a mountain and another year as a Hare Krishna (sp?)...yeah. His letters were kind of crazy and vaguely stalker-y, but I'd like to think he's not that guy anymore since he was once a friend. To his credit, he wrote me a few times and then gave up, and that was many years ago. So I've friended him for now. We'll see if I need to unfriend later.

Thanks, Theodosia.

Now, anyone knows a good chestnut soup recipe?

Limited profiles, people!! I put my sister on one because she would never comment on anything, and then would interrogate me about things I had posted on Facebook much later. It was highly irritating.

What's a limited profile? I've got my prefs for privacy all adjusted, but I haven't seen anything that allows you to actually have a tier for people once they've been friended. If you can, please to share?

I think I remember seeing that as an option when you first accept a friend request.

Hmmm...I'll have to check that out.
