After my divorce (which, after 20 years of marriage, was “sprung” on me, out of the blue, with the delivery of the papers), I have learned to ask this question of people who are thinking of getting married: Do you remember your fiance ever, in your entire relationship, sincerely and specifically apologizing for something? If not, run, don’t walk from that relationship, for they will blame YOU for everything that goes wrong in their life. You will be the cause of all their suffering, real or imagined.
Certainly, many people use Facebook for all the stupid reasons, sharing drunken pictures, posting private info, etc.
Of course, there are also those who simply use it as a means of staying connected with old friends, reconnecting with people, sharing photos with family, etc.
So why exactly do you think using Facebook as a method of staying in contact with your friends and family is only for those in high school?
The kids are selfish. Divorce is good for kids. They get twice as many gifts on holidays and birthdays. They get to go to ball games with Dad they never normally would have been invited to, one-on-one shopping at the mall with Mom, a little extra cash in the birthday card from Grandma, two bedrooms, two sets of clothes, two puppies, a laptop at one place and a high-def widescreen with Blu-Ray at the other. But do they object? Nooooooooooo...
Love all the ideas. Let’s also turn her dog against her.
it seems the main rule is to not ever use the shift key and NEVER capitalize ‘I’ when referring to yourself. at least that is what i found out. (i had to duct tape my left pinky to my palm to type that ‘i’)
I hardly ever capitalize anything after the first word of a post. Too many years in construction, the pinky fingers hardly work unlesss in concert with all the others.
Please note, capitalization is the only difference in the following:
I helped my uncle Jack off a horse.
and
I helped my uncle jack off a horse.
QED, proper capitalization IS important.
I know a couple of women who are reeeally good at that. One's from California and has the insincere huggy-kissy "You're so wonderful!" thing down to an art and then she brings out the knife when she has gotten whatever it is she wants from you...
And then she does the classic "Why doesn't anybody love me? I'm sooo lonely! Men treat me like garbage..." thing. 2 + 2 really does equal 4...
LOL! I love it when people see the bright side of life.
Your message to Travis was right on point...If it's not good enough for him it can't be good...There must be a place in the current administration for him with that attitude.
I’ll unfriend her! It’ll have to wait until I get home, though. I can’t get to Facebook from here.
