[MRCA] Facebook; The Responses.

[Steven Board]

Well put. I don't have time to continuously give a blow-by-blow description
of every activity in my life, BECAUSE i'M TOO BUSY LIVING MY LIFE. Besides
I live out in the sticks and even cell phone service goes away at the end
of my driveway (not a bad thing thanks to the NSA activities). It's hard to
type on a keyboard and split wood, feed dogs and pigs etc.
