People on Househunters talk about the house they chose and how it's close to their "social network." It's like when I grew up, we called having people over as having people over. Now it's "entertaining." lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-19748920546821386162011-04-13T13:42:57.567-04:002011-04-13T13:42:57.567-04:00Ha, limiting myself FROM checking FB and Twitter a...Ha, limiting myself FROM checking FB and Twitter all the time.Melissa Senatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617990678331179191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-28936869957847642862011-04-13T13:42:16.088-04:002011-04-13T13:42:16.088-04:00I completely forgot about my My Space page!

So much fun at first, then boredom, then exhaustion. Couldn't wait to put the dime in the phone to call home and ask to get picked up so I could get in bed with a bowl of ice cream and have a late night chat with a friend... in the end it was all about the one on one and maybe it still is.Saralee Rosenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595673591577424238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-49352767056759935132011-04-13T08:53:22.023-04:002011-04-13T08:53:22.023-04:00That was terrific, Ellen.
