We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I wish you could group people on facebook into family, friends, etc and only let certain friends see certain things

You can. I've got a couple of different friends groups and some can see everything and some can see limited info. If you go to the friends tab, you can create however many groups named whatever. Then go to the settings link and in privacy settings, you can take a number of actions. Click on any of the settings and you'll get another list. Most of the dialogue boxes will come up as "only friends". Find the "customize" option and click on that. Another box opens and you put in the friends groups you don't want to be able to access those things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, that was a waste of lipstick. The interview was a cattle call for commission-only insurance sales. Insurance companies seem to be thriving--every day or so I get an email about buying a franchise. But this time I actually put on makeup and nice clothes. They want me back for an orientation presentation next week, and THEN they decide if they're really going to consider me.

If I hadn't wanted to get out of there so badly I'd have asked what about my 20 years of technical experience made them call me (and lie--she said it wasn't sales) about the position.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A picture of the cockpit of Spaceship One taken during flight: [link]

Not quite as complex as the Space Shuttle pic that ita linked to. I like all the "off the shelf" instruments, including what looks sorta' like a kitchen timer.

You know a sales job has gotta suck (at least for 99% of people) when they lie about it not being a sales job.

Sorry, ita - that sucks.

Mom doesn't want me to post my shower photos there because she doesn't want to get in trouble with a part of the extended family that did not get invited

And I went "sj in the shower--well, I can see why Mom wouldn't want her to post them, but what's this about invitations--oh."

Ooh, I obviously haven't been exploring enough. Thanks!

Hee! The wedding shower, which EVERYONE thought they should be invited to. Meanwhile, I thought that the 50 people that were invited were too much. This is why there will be an elopement.

I had no idea! Facebook needs to do a better job advertising their privacy tools.
