Be careful of what you 'like' on Facebook.

Beware of 'like' farming.

Oh typical. Can't do anything these days without someone finding an angle to exploit it. Grrr. Luckily I'm too idle to 'like' much on FB, but I will be more wary in future

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, that was my thought as well, Karen.

End of the day, everyone is out make a buck.

Interesting how we use the term 'buck' rather than 'pound' or 'ruble' or 'rupee' or 'euro'...

I have a yen to explore that further.

I have never before heard of that, David!

I'm getting mighty sick of living in a society where so many people are seeking out every opportunity to feel offended.

Neither had I until I googled "Why does buck mean a dollar?" And I agree about people being too easily offended, but for a different reason. I mean, what's the point when it's so easy to offend people? Being offensive used to be a skill!

[Patti (baconater)]

Skill? Easy as falling off a bike for me. :D

Someone out to scam a few quid/bucks? It was ever thus!

I like everything on Facebook... but I am renowned for being stupid...

The world is so complicated.
