Well, I just read a hilarious blog post on Bern This, You Always Have Options about how Nebraska is willing to take any child for any reason from anywhere.

Is this a repeat mistake? You know, like when the United States and Australia was viewed as the “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” for the criminals and ex-cons of England? Remember how that got totally out of control and before long they were creating their own wild, wild west and refusing British Rule?

Good luck Nebraska.

Instead of threatening a “time out,” which lately has been lacking effective authority, I’m switching to, “You want me to drop you off in Nebraska?”

If Hitler Gave Me A Wax Job

So my friend Mrs. Blogoway tells me, at our last bookclub – slash – wine tasting, that she’s been talking to this Seattle blogger on the phone. And that she’s got a layover in Seattle coming up and she called her blogger friend, Mona from kirida.com, and they’re going to hang out.

Cool.

But, then to my husband later I’m saying, Mrs. Blogoway is talking on the phone to one of her blogger friends.

What do they talk about?

I don’t know, but don’t you think it’s a little weird that she’s talking to her on the phone like she’s a real friend? Meeting her in person is so intimate, don’t you think it will be aqward?

A few days later my phone rings.

Tracee, It’s Jessica!

And I totally know it’s Jessica Bern from BernThis, who lives in LA. I met at BlogHer and we’ve been emailing back and forth and it was so not weird that she was calling me at home to learn how to use Twitter.

Here’s the thing – my mother had to know her neighbors. She had no choice – neighbors and church was her social life. If she got stuck with sucky neighbors or judgy/bitchy church ladies it was just bad luck of the draw and she had to make due with them. Who else was she gonna be friends with?

Me – and you – we’re lucky. We can make friends with people in Seattle or LA. We make friends with them because we have things in common or we think they are funny – not just because they moved in next door.

It’s a new world. I kinda dig it.
