At the end of a visit with my grandma, just before we’d go our separate ways, she’d shower me with affection and leave me with a few words of wisdom.

I went to a beautiful wedding in Connecticut this past weekend and would you believe it that the bride and groom are not even friends on Facebook?!

I can't stand it when couples use Facebook as a main source of communication. I just don't get it. We all know you love each other; after all you are in a relationship together.
