My daughter was called a ‘stunner’ recently, and I have to agree (what father wouldn’t) but it was said by a boy of eleven!!! I swear having her on Facebook is the worse thing I could have done, (for her that is!).
On the subject of Facebook, how considerate of them to target guys like me with those ads that come up along the side of the page .. like this one..
.. very considerate indeed. If that girl being depicted is even in her 30's .... let's not go there!

'Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was'
Hebrew proverb
I was at a funeral on Saturday, a cremation of a friend’s aunt who I had the pleasure of meeting on numerous occations. A wonderful lady.
The priest, who also knew her, conducted a very fine and fitting service. Along with the words of comfort she recited words from a great man and they went like this…
I am standing on the sea shore,
A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says:
"She is gone."
Gone! Where?
Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me,
not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
"She is gone",
There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"There she comes"
- and that is dying. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

oO That girl looks 18 at the most! My 12 year old is on Facebook.... careful, careful monitoring! It is hard not to let them enjoy a social networking site like that when all of their friends are on there... **shakes head** They grow up so quickly today. It is hard work "keeping" them as children like they should be.
I remember she went to a disco run by the Police Club near her Grandmother's. She was picked up and the first thing she said was, "I danced with so many hot boys." Grandma was flabbergasted, but I guess it is good that she is open and honest and doesn't think she needs to hide her new found interest in boys.

My daughter is only 4 and I'm already dreading all that kind of thing but hopefully we'll have an open and honest mother/daughter relationship and she'll be able to come to me about things.

On a serious note, the important thing is that your daughter feels that she can tell you anything at all.
Kinda glad I don't have children when they hit her age lol
