facebook Pet Peaves

  1. Friending me for the sole purpose to promote the latest game; farmville, cityville, Yoville, ihearts or hugs.  25 years and the first contact is an invitation to join farmville.  I'm fine.  How are you?
  2. Writing out your whole life and hang ups for all the world to see.  For instance, "I was sexually abused by my father for 6 years, my stepfather for 8 years, got pregnant in high school (wondered where I went, didn't ya'!), married an abusive man, finally took control of my life, left the bum and now I am in a committed homosexual relationship with the love of my life (2 months and counting!) and am working towards my social work license."         I SO could NOT make this stuff up.
  3. Drinking photos.
  4. Bikini photos. 
  5. Posting every half hour about the latest argument with significant other.
  6. Updates every 5 minutes.  "Drank a Coke."  "Peed."  "Drinking another Coke."
  7. Constant political activism posts.  Chiding those who are not actively involved in Proposition Whatever.
  8. Need spellcheck?  Please use it.
  9. The effu people.  They were a little off during college.  With a few years to marinate their bitterness, they glom onto every hot button issue and write in caps their position (usually not the popular position) laced with profanity.
  10. The knee-jerk people.  The people who grab every weird and outlandish story who just MUST post and plead that you repost or the country will be over run with communists, aliens or black, Muslim presidents.
  11. Beautiful people.  And skinny.  Okay, that one is my jealousy bone talking.  Shut up.
Any more?

    I have one FB friend on my list who regularly rants about which people she is deleting from her friends' list - so far, I've made the cut.

    I don't know this young woman well, but I know a lot more about her live-in boyfriend who is still married (and pics of her drinking with the wife, too). She's the same gal who posted that she's going to make a hit list, and certain people should be very afraid (the day after the Tucson shootings).

    I have one drinking picture in FB - me and my stepdaughter - but I am so uncool, I'm drinking a Coke.

    Vague-booking: deliberately posting something vague so that everyone immediately posts, "what's wrong"...

    I may or may not be guilty of this a time or two, but I try not to be. I prefer subliminal...

    I share your pet peeves for Facebook! I couldn't help but laugh out loud while reading.
    You are so right on every point.
    The spell check thing urks me the most though :(

    Visiting you via Mama Kat's!

    This is why I "friend" people who request me for the sake of being nice, then hide them. I'm pretty sure about 75% of my Facebook friends are hidden, actually, with only the people whose updates I actually care about being visible. It makes life much less cluttered and more pleasant :-)

    I can't stand when people constantly post about work related stuff. Hey asshat, that's what LinkedIn is for.

    Great list - gave me a good laugh.

    My pet peeve? The people with 5 million friends. Why?!?!
    Or people who constantly post self portraits of themselves. I know what you look like. Please stop.

    I'm sorry my beautiful photos are making you feel bad about yourself....

    Oh, wait! We're not FB friends yet! Why is that?

    People posting bad photos of you and then tagging it. By the time I actually get on and see it so has EVERY other person I know. Vanity...yes!

    You seem to forget that, to me, you are the beautiful, skinny person. Why am I friends with you, again?

    Sounds like just about every type of post on FB is listed here...lol I am with you here. But I do like to check in now and then and leave some posts. Hopefully they are somewhat meaningful, at least on the surface.... :-)

    Ha ha... I'd never be able to post then...

    Just Kidding! ;)

    I mostly just talk about my kids on facebook and post way too many pictures, but they are cute so that's okay right?

    Add vaguebooking and then detailing every single thing about your relationship and this would be my complete list.

    well done

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
