    the look my wife has when I tell her I'm getting another guitar.

    Does she love your guitar that much or are you always buying new guitars? :-D Or maybe you always say that but, never buy a new guitar?

    :) New to me that is. She'll ask me why I need another guitar, then how much does THIS one cost. Maybe I need to start a social network to pay for my hobby.

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      Count me in as a FB account "have not". Should we start a secret society? :)

            That's what I did before I deactivated the account...as much of it as I could. My saving grace is that I did not post a lot on the site. I used it to chat with my friends in California.

              Good idea! Start a new facebook so you can buy as many guitars as you as want. ;) It must be hard, having a wife. I don't have one. I can't experience those kind of things ;P

                I don't know if this is stupid question but, how does Facebook make money? Is it only from advertising? If it is, i really doubt that. There are only few advertisements on Facebook for them to make that much money! I apologize for my ignorance. I'm sure everyone knows the answer :)

                  You are kidding me right? You have to know that chat and e-mail are two different things.
