Update on the strangeness of reality -
Well, the story does seem to have a conclusion but I still can't really tell the whole story. I can, however, in my very small way tell people what they have heard and read time and time again - about the dangers of social networking.
I will not disclose details but will say that a recent experience in our family with Facebook and other technology was enough to teach some very valuable, life changing lessons. I have a history of being gullible and naive but time is changing that a bit. There are so many ways of being manipulated, deceived, robbed and hurt by technology that it makes me want to rid our lives of all of it.

With this technology anyone anywhere can call from any cell phone or even a land line and change the number indicated on the caller ID on the receiving phone. This same technology allows the caller to change their voice completely - even from one gender to another. That being said, imagine what an individual or group could do...
