Meresamun on Facebook
Meresamun Facebook page
Sometimes, just sometimes, I think that the freedom to communicate on such a global scale leads some of us to do things about which we should have thought twice. The mummy Meresamun now has a Facebook page, and I really have to wonder why. On the other hand "she" has over 1000 friends, so someone somewhere must be doing something right. You have to add her as a friend to find out more about her. I am only on Facebook, against all my better instincts, in order to keep up to date with distant friends who have jumped on the site's bandwagon, and I cannot see myself adding a virtual mummy as a friend. But do let me know if she has any fascinating gems of wisdom or news to impart. Enjoy!
