Some background: My Father-In-Law doesn't know how to use a pc--I don't think he's ever tried. MIL can't do much herself, but she tries. I saw FIL's Facebook page tonight (MIL posted it). You know where, when you post your profile, they ask you to say if you're interested in men and/or women? Well, I guess MIL thought it meant FIL just wanted to be friends with both genders--just friends. I interpret the question otherwise!
Is it just me that interprets the question this way???? To make it even worse, FIL (who has been a Boy Scout Master for decades) has a pic of him in his uniform--a 70-year-old guy--in his profile. Somehow, in my mind, that makes this even funnier--if BSA sees the friends thing, he may be in trouble!


DH is upstairs, watching tv. I called to him up the stairs, telling about the friends thing. I said, "Your Mom put the profile on, didn't she?" "[Groan] Yep..."

My MIL got Facebook around Xmas. She's into all those games - hubby and I are shocked that she even figured out how to play them

"Is that a fire-starting stick in your pocket, or are you just happy to meet me?"

Hey, he is quite the prize--he had his knees replaced 2 years ago! GRRRRR....



I'm torn between telling MIL, and letting it stay in his profile another week or two...or three...just for fun!
