OK, no groucho glasses and nose for you!!

I'll just wear them for Monday's IRC meetup 8^)

Note: Introduce your mom to hubski -- have her read eightbitsamurai's story -- it makes hubskina seem almost religious (but first delete the darker parts of this thread). Show her nowaypablo's piano concert.

Thanks for this advice, lil. I showed her Hubski, told her about some of the users, and played her pablo's solo recital. She's a lot more comfortable with the site now, even though it didn't change her mind about the meetup. Next step - get her to read eightbit's story.
