So, there's something else that happened over our Christmas break ...
There must be something weird in the air -Because not only was I visited by "ghosts of Christmas past" but, my sister was too - Allow me to explain ... I'm sure we all have people from our past that we don't talk to anymore -some on purpose. This always makes me a little nervous and cautious about things like having this blog ;being on facebook -etc. There are plenty of people from my past I do keep in touch with -That I went to school with or worked with -But, like I said there's others I'd rather not. Of course I also know they're out there and the whole -6 degrees of seperation and all. But, it was really weird that within 24hrs -and a couple days before Christmas I got not 1 but, 2 Facebook friend requests that I was unsure about. Being sick I thought maybe I was hallucinating or -this is it -I'm sick and gonna die and this is some kind of judgement- I was taken aback needless to say. I took a little while to think about it -I already ignored 1. The other I thought would happen eventually - And I haven't gotten into the whole story on here yet -But, I figured sometime I'd be contacted by my daughter's biological dad or his family -It was his mom. I talked to my husband, dad, and sister about it and I finally sent her a message (it's great being able to send a message to a non-friend) -I tried to be somewhat friendly but, also stern -I mean how else are you supposed to act towards someone who hasn't been involved for over 10 years?! As of yet I haven't heard back -the ball is in their court as they say -So, we'll see. And then the day after Christmas my sister was contacted by an ex of hers-Like I say -it's weird! So, yep seems to be the Christmas for ghosts of the past or something!

The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller!

Gotta love Facebook! Like your previous commenter said...makes the world a smaller place. You just never know who you'll "run into".
Wow...that's a tough one. Facebook is great in a lot of ways but things like this make me nervous. Not every 'blast from the past' is a good one! Good luck with it all.
So know what you're saying about being on FB/blogging & connecting w/those you want, yet there are some that you would just rather not connect with ever again. I have a few of those & more than once I have wanted to take down my blog.
I figure it's life & it's their issues so I'll just deal. Sounds like you are handling it the best you can & I believe sending a msg is good way to communicate w/keeping a healthy boundary.
Let us know how it goes!
That happened on my blog a few months ago which led to comment moderation. Some people need to fulfill their need to reconnect. I am not one of them. I leave the past where it fell because my present day is pretty good.
