Cinders - No - you gotta be on FB to be in any FB-based fan club. Not sure what getting into the fan club gets you. A free T-shirt? (No.) Really I think a FB fanclub is good for two things:
advertising that you support a particular thing, like a sports team, a high school band, a rock star, or etc. In this case, DB itself.
networking with other people who feel similarly.
BND - your daughter sounds like a cool young lady, and I love the advice and guidance you gave her about her dad. That is the stuff of families, and the work you are doing is really good for you and your kids and your husband and (excuse me while I channel the dalai lama) for the rest of the world, too.
on NYE, I was talking to my kids about what they wished for in the new year and one of them said "world peace". (he is 12) And I asked - ok, how can we work towards world peace? and the thought I offered to them is that we have little direct influence on what happens in Sudan, but if we focus on living peacefully RIGHT HERE, if we all lived peacefully with our families and neighbors, then the world would be a much better, more peaceful place. Sure we can give aid to Sudan, and we should; but living well with our families is the best way each of us can contribute to world peace.
