Facebook Weirdness
I'll try to keep the backstory short. Though, without the backstory, there's not much of a story. So here's the backstory.
My best friend growing up was a guy who I've completely lost touch with. We were friends from kindergarten through college. When we graduated from High School, he moved to DC and we I came out of the closet, and our lives went in completeley different directions. We both made a few attempts to stay connected, but we really have nothing in common at all and he has grown into kind of a jerk. At least from my standpoint.
So we really haven't kept in touch in years. Until Facebook. Now we're facebook friends, which is fine. Minimal contact, but I could get in touch with him if I ever find the Boba Fett action figure he lost in my back yard in the 3rd grade.
His mother friended me on FB the other day and sent me a message signed Mom D. D is the initial of my friend's last name, but she is remarried, so her last initial is no longer D. Couple that with the fact that I never called her mom anything, and I don't know what to make of that.
I'm not a fan of calling anyone Mom except my own mother, and maybe sometimes my MIL, but only in the right context. Usually my in-laws and I are on a first name basis.
that's it. Kinda long. Kinda weird.

Re: Facebook Weirdness
Hopefully she just signed it that way to be cute and does not expect you to call her that.
Yeah, I'm sure she just refers to herself this way and doesn't expect others to follow suit. At least I would hope.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

yeah, I think she was trying to make sure you knew who she was.
which reminds me, I have a picture of my church brick with Twan's last name on my phone. If I can find my mini memory card converter, I'll share it (with last name obscured, 'course).

I wish I was independently wealthy so I could purchase all the bricks around your dad's and made sure they said your real name.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy

I also discovered that my name is on my parents' brick along with my siblings and grandparents, one of whom is deceased. So there's one that says MyLast Family: everyone's first names. BUT, no Twan. So now I think that my dad bought this other brick because he felt bad leaving Twan's name off of the bigger family brick (there wouldn't have been enough room, and he would've been listed as a MyLast). If that was his motivation, I guess it's kind of nice. I don't really feel the need to have my name on any brick outside of a church, but it's not like he was going to put his other kids on it and not me.
These priests are going to be able to afford anal lube for the altar boys for years, all financed by my dad.
