Even at my advanced age, I am on Twitter, Facebook and other web destinations. Daily, I get hundreds of persons from every corner of the world, who want to "friend" me and notify me of their own brand of witless "whatever" peregrinations. I am certain that I am not dim-witted or slow-minded. I swear. However, I don't know why these people need to update me on their mating habits, dish-wash powder preferences, trips from Hawaii to Nigeria or their strong opinions about absolutely nothing of interest to me.

Whatever.

I get many emails from my brother, separated at childbirth, former wives who have unpaid hospital bills, children who need help with tuition or rent or urgent surgery. I have never had any brothers, wives, children, cousins, or even a grandmother with the name Tiber--as my birth name is not Tiber. Do you suppose all these people just go to Facebook and Twitter, gleaning names for their tear-provoking requests for financial aid? Or are they all sincere and confusing me with actual persons? For my grandmother to be trying to reach me however--no doubt from Hell considering the evil nasty vile dreadful bitch that she was--she would have to be at least 146 by now.
