Subject: Facebook (or The Perils of Pauline)

Oh whoopee, I have had a message on Facebook inviting me to communicate with a lawyer who was the lawyer for a family names Meakins and who have all been tragically wiped out in a car crash, leaving $11.5 million dollars and inviting me to claim a rather large portion of that money. Oh decisions, decisions, should I accept with glee and become rich beyong my wildest dreams, should I answer and ask them if they though I had arrived on a banana boat or just tell them to **** off, or should I just delete it. If I had done the first, they would have wiped out my already depleted bank balance, if I had done the second, tempting though it was, they would have realised that they had actually managed to contact me and would no doubt try again, and possibly try and hack into my computer, so I did the 3rd and sent their facebook message back into the ether. Cheeky beggars!!!!!(not what David called them!!). I must admit that I rarely use Facebook other than the odd message as I prefer emails because there is a whole gang of us who were at school together and our emails fly all around the world, addressed to all of us, with memories of school, questions as to what we need to do if we have a problem, answers to cooking problems, all sorts of things, a regular Help Column of informaton and ideas plus a lot of humour and joshing each other. Our next get-together is in April when one of them is coming over from Texas for a long holiday, which will be great. Our last get-together some of us hadn't seen each other since 1961, which is a hell of a long time, a lot of catching up to do, and great fun.
