Dear Hillary,
Ever since my wife found Facebook this year, she spends hours and hours and hours glued to the computer screen. She says she has to reply to friends and last time I looked she had 3,985 “friends”. That’s impossible, she hasn’t met 3,985 people in her life. She’s only 30 and that makes it about 140 a day. Friends are people you go down the pub with, not people you’ve never met who bob up in a computer. How do I get her to stop this nonsense?
Frank
Dear Frank,
I’m sorry to say but there is nothing you can do about it, other than forgetting to pay the electricity bill! Facebook is very popular and it allows people to communicate with other “friends” all over the world. I understand what you mean about “friends”, but you just have to get used to a different meaning of the word these days. Mind you, I get the feeling that your nose might be a little out of joint – are you feeling left out? Get yourself a Facebook identity and secretly correspond with your wife. You never know what you might find!
