FB makes me feel like a mean person sometimes. i know the point is a glimpse into someone's life and it's human nature to be nosy, but sometimes i wonder about the trainwreck people put out there about themselves, and i can't help but be super judgmental. i just don't like that feeling, but i can't pull away either!
4th engagement in maybe 10 years status change posted and most comments are congrats and i'm meanly waiting for someone to write "again?!" - but there were a few "to who???" that made me chuckle. see - i feel mean!
Re: confession
i'll save you a seat on the bus to hell.
my cousin's ex wife got remarried over the summer. 2 months ago she changed her marital status to separated or single or whatever, and made the (run-on sentence of a) post about how she really appreciates everyone's support in this really difficult time in her life. THE NEXT DAY she changed her status back to Married and posted that she's so happy to be back with the love of her life and they'll be together FOREVER!!!!! i almost peed my pants laughing so hard at her.
I have a facebook pet peeve too... The women who post their menu & pictures of their dinners every night... I am not talking about someone who has a blog, just wives and mothers, or even single... who think they deserve a medal because they cooked dinner.... ummmm women have been cooking for their families for centuries, get over yourself! Even worse are the commentators "WOW! I must come over for dinner" or "Girl, you need to open a restaurant" or "OMG I need that recipe!"... I don't know, is it just me? Or maybe its my culture and upbringing, but thats what we do, we cook.
Ok, I realize this may cause a debate... I don't mean that since I'm a woman I'm supposed to cook, just wooopie do... you toasted bread & scrambled eggs.... congratulations.
Now THIS is funny. I would laugh my ass off too.
Jenn and Food, Perfect Together
omg you guys should SEE this girl that kari and my husband went to high school with. talk about trainwreck OMG. half her crap has to be made up for attention. but its like watching a soap opera that you know is bad but you just can't turn it off.
and tara you must hate my fb posts. i have terrible writing skills on the internet because im usually typing fast or multitasking (not that that is any excuse)
The relationship posts are what get me. My 2 SIL's do this. Every other week it's a new guy & honestly to me it makes them look like whores but to each their own I guess.
I also cannot stand when people write "imma". WTF does that mean, are you so lazy you cannot write "I am going to...."?!?!?!!
I have a FB confession too.
My sister & her friend were telling me about this guy we went to HS with and what a LITTLE GIRL he is on Facebook... So I friended him just to see... OMG, he posts about his broken heart and looking at the stars at night hoping for love and happiness. Once he even said his "tummy hurt".... He is so ridiculous!!!!! My sister, her friend and I all have constant banter back and forth about him. LOL!!!!!!
This thread is funny!!!!!
I take pics of stuff I bake (1 x a week though...Sunday is baking day) but that's it. I only take a pic of a dinner if I go out somewhere special since I never get time to myself or alone with just Ed...and to me that's a big deal so I like to brag and make myself feel good about it.
I see the relationship status changes all the time on my FB wall....it really is so ridiculous!! The DUCK FACE is also annoying...many of my high school/college/20 something cousins do this on a regular basis. I forget where I heard this quote but it was something like "whenever I see duck face I want to throw bread at the person". hahahaha!!!!

This is not at all what I was referring to, lol. These people I'm talking about are extreme... and I'm just like ... wtf! woooopie dooo, lol
here's my confession and a quote on quote from someone on my fb
" Found My Soulmate Jessica And The Love Of My Life,As Well As Truly Following My Higher Power And Walking In His Footsteps...Its Been One Crazy Ride..And The Blessings & Fun Has Just Begun...God Bless All...Just Wanted To Let The People That Know Me And Care About Me...Where im At In Life....Everyday Has it Ups And Downs...Faith is Real..Believing in Something You Cannot See...If You Can Do That...Your Good....Peace"
and
When you find your Soulmate....Yes your pretty much married because you know its going to last forever...till death do us part babe,love you....
(makes me gag! i mean okay yes i get the whole higher power and all and counting your blessings. but the soul mate part drives me nuts. )
Oh I know what you mean! No worries!
My other FB pet peeve is the friggen apps and things and other crap people send me! I don't care about your silly farm or other stuff (assuming that crap is still around).

here's an example of my cousin's ex's AMAZING run-on sentences:
I am in Shock tonight but I will make calls tomorrow and try to find out what is up what I know is I love all of my family and that means everyone that Charlie and I love so Much
(charlie presumably is her new husband)
she's like a f*cking trainwreck. i love this sh!t.
thank you all for letting into your FB lives via this post too - lol!
no one else feels little mean, though?! lol!
I hate it when this happens on FB

You know what bothers me even more than the soulmate crap...the random capitalization. What the hell? Not every word needs to be capitalized, folks!
LMAO i just realized that! Hiliarious!
my sister & I are mean...our cousin is...socially challenged to be polite. She has lived a sheltered life...so she's madly in love with some guy (or this is the 3rd or 4th one) that she has met on line..he's a WONDERFUL lawyer in NYC, but they don't seem to ever met in person...umm, she's across the hudson river...She makes photo collages with them 'together', she posts 'sexy' pics in her grammie night gowns and she's always thanksing her fb friends - but no one ever posts & she is the only one who ever likes her posts...it's sad..and we know we are going to hell together...
this might be my favorite.
but she sounds like the beginning of a single white female type movie - lol
I can't stand people who "check in" to places all the time. I have one friend who checks into work, checks into the same deli for lunch, checks into some bar for dinner, and checks in at 'home' every day...drives me nuts! The same person is also guilty of taking a picture of his dinner every night.
One more...people who post every little thing that happens in their day on FB. I reallllly want to reply to one friend in particular that says Facebook =/twitter
this thread reminded me of a post someone I know posted..
Real talk. It's sad to hear that some bitches will like to go for my sloppy seconds but let me tell you something go for it cause I got everything that I wanted from him already and that m***cker ain't got nothing else to give I made sure of that. The sad part about it is that ur not his type so he don't even want you (how do u think I found out) ur lucky I'm with someone right now cause if I were single right now I would f**K ur husband right now and I know he would cause I am a major upgrade from u cause ur nothing but a desperate fat ugly housewife. Ok people I just needed to get that out my system!
wow you guys know some real interesting people LOL
wow...sick people out there.
