Facebook vs TV
As you may know, I am a big ‘fan’ of facebook. Someone recently made a snarky comment about the time that I spend on facebook. I admit that I laughed, and rolled my eyes (believe me, considering the context, it was worthy of an eye roll:) First, I will say that things are never as [...]
