    Do I have to unfriend the hot women fond of bikinis who I haven't talked to in five years? Because I don't wanna.

    Crusoes, when is your niece's 18th birthday? A big girl celebration is in order. ... Sorry I had to.

    I'd unfriend my father-in-law if it would go unnoticed.

    Yeah, you can. If you customize your privacy settings, you can control who has access to particular parts of your profile -- wall, tagged photos, your own photo albums, status updates, the whole lot. You can't block an individual person, but you can create groups of people and then set your default settings so that updates, etc., aren't seen by that group. (This is unrelated to the new Groups function, the purpose of which I haven't managed to unravel yet, mostly because I don't care.)

    I want to know if the metal pole comes through the mail or through delivery.

    Pretty sure you can block individual "friends" from seeing all but your most basic info.

    You'd do just like you block certain apps from your news feed, I believe.

    I know I don't get any Farmville, Fishville or whatever other apps updates my friends play.

    As the old saying goes: If my niece had a dick, I'd be his uncle.

    Or something like that.

    Question around the office is whether one is "unfriended" or "de-friended". Consensus is de-friended.

    I've probably got like 50 people on my list of friends who I restrict access to the very basic stuff.

    Does anyone else feel uncomfortable about accepting family members -- particularly older ones -- as friends? I have most of my cousins (ranging from seven to 16 years younger) as friends, though I rarely interact with any of them. However, my mom and various aunts/uncles are not, and I don't intend to let them in. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't feel quite right doing that. Maybe it's because I don't think they get my, ahem, *unique* sense of humor, or that they'd overreact if I got all drama-y and butthurt with a status update, or that they'd be all LOL YOUR FUNNY ;) or something equally lame with a wall post. I dunno. But I've told them all that I have no intention of adding them because it feels like I'm breaking a barrier that shouldn't be broken.

    Am I crazy (about this particular issue)?

    Not crazy. Although, I am the other way around. I don't have any cousins under the age of 18 except for my Godson. I talk about adult topics on there for one, and two, I can't stand all the drama my teenage female cousins bring to Facebook.
