Thinking about the slide shows, the very dear mother of a good friend from college has always been a bit needy emotionally. She and her husband were recently on a lengthy trip to europe where she was one of those people posting pics all day long about everywhere they had been. At some point she apparently did a massive photo dump onto flickr (I admit, I did not go check it out) and ended her facebook post about it with "...and maybe some of my family will even take the time to look at them..." I had to laugh because her personality just came screaming through in that post. She probably longs for the old days of slide shows before technology could save us all from them!
