One of the great things about Facebook is that you can actually find out. Are you on Facebook V?

You don't have to explain who you are and where you came from. I have friends from high school that I stay in contact with. Some often, some not so often. It doesn't matter. We just take right up as if it's only been a day or two since we saw each other last. Connections of the heart.
