I would not like to feel that way. We should go to the spa soon and NOT casually eat bananas while watching women undress in the locker room; I'm afraid WE would not be seen so much as having achieved perfect spa nirvana, but rather be judged as lesbian perverts.

I'm now kicking myself for thinking that wasn't my thing. Spa....(I can't spell it, but think of the sound Homer Simpson makes when he considers donuts, and you'll get how I feel about spa/spa treatments) b) I've sort of become addicted to FB in that I check in several times a day to see what people have to say for themselves. I've been friended by someone I really don't know (a friend of a friend who must have thought he knew me), and because I was new to FB, I confirmed him rather than be rude. Then, like you, a bunch of people who were peripheral friends at best in high school have friended me, and I appreciate sort of being in touch again, but some of their views on life differ enormously from mine, and I'm not sure how much that should matter or whether I should extricate myself from their FB lives...? Some anthropologist must be researching the online community and its culture. It's got its own rules in some ways... a) On spas: I waited until I was 42, 8 months preggers and having a lot of stress from work to go to a spa and have a massage.

Only a few folks from HS days are on there though. Most of them seem to still be over on classmates.com. Spa time sounds lovely... enjoy!
