message 1: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen I know this topic has been covered but I think we should just have an ongoing spot to put the atrocities that are "updates" on social networks. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS ONE I SAW TODAY:

Israel's first real "poop" in the potty! I know, I know, too much information, but for a mom with 2 kiddos in diapers this is major BREAKTHROUGH!

smetchie | 5729 comments Why do people have to share that crap? I don't fucking understand. I mean, yeah I get excited about my kids "accomplishments" too. But I realize that there are only a few other people on the planet who are going to give a flying fuck about them. Send it to Grandma in an email and spare the rest of us. Please. I'm begging.


The Crimson Fucker (tcf123) | -6 comments shit! she talking about a kid???? i thought it was some sort of political joke!!! NOW I GET IT!!!


message 4: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen My cousin (a really, really, really sweet girl) frequently takes pictures of her grocery finds and posts the "deals" she got due to her coupon using/thrifty ways.
sigh.


message 5: by Stina (new)

Stina (stinalee) | 653 comments Oh shit... (and this girl also posts pictures of her "deals" from her couponing)!!!!

From today: Yep...although I don't usually post things like this because I generally like to try and remain non-controversial, this is an interesting article that pretty much sums up why I will not read, watch or support the Harry Potter phenomenon in any way and neither will my children....Scary.

Reads with Scotch I consider my campaign to get holy rollers to read or watch Harry Potter a success. Sometimes I have had to make gestures of "faith" by doing something in return. The worst being reading Hal Lindsay's Revelations series. It was painful for me but after ward there was a holy roller who loved the books, and now watches the Potter movies on TV. Still won't buy them, but baby steps right.

I really don't understand the resistance to it really. What is suppose to be evil about it? Spells? This same holly roller had no problem with Labyrinth, Lord of the rings, or any other cult movie spilling over with mystical powers. Why pick on potter?

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments This is what popped in my head with all this holy roller talk. Now you must all suffer:

Reads with Scotch Intro too long so I lost interest. On principle I refuse to listen to any song that takes longer then a few moments to get going. You're not being mysterious, you're being annoying.


message 9: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen Nick - they've got this little icon at the botom of the screen you can click it and drag it so you don't have to watch the intro if you don't want. It's great.

"Dio" - ha ha ha ha ha ha. I enjoyed the costumes but before I knew it so much cheese was oozing on to my screen the view was obscured and I had to close the window.


message 10: by Tom (new)

Tom Foolery (tomfoolery) C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were both Christians, so their fantasy magic land is ok. J.K.Rowling is a woman, and not an outspoken Christian, and her name sounds kind of suspect, so her fantasy magic land is not ok.


Reads with Scotch I hadn't thought of it like that, Tom. That can't be it... but I admit for lack of a better explanation that just might be it.


message 12: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen What about Madeline Lengle? she wrote fantasy was a Christian AND a woman.


message 13: by Rusty (new)

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments I think one of the major reasons some of the overzealous type get worked up about Harry Potter is the fact that the characters are called "witches" and "wizards". For some, witch = evil. So, portraying someone who calls themselves a witch or wizard as one of the good guys, is offensive and scary.

Kind of like how it pisses me off to no end that one of the supporting cast on Family Guy is a pedophile, and he's funny and wacky, and it's no big deal. Oh, I focking hate Seth MacFarlane.

Anyway, you get my point.


message 14: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments Yeah, that's what I was going to say, Rusty. I think it's the "witch" and "wizard" thing.


message 15: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen yes but if people didn't "suck" we wouldn't really have a much of a group.


message 16: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments Dammit Teresa!


message 17: by Shana (new)

Shana (shanac55) How about this one...from a co-worker's facebook page yesterday:

"Nothing like the Monday morning 2mm kidney stone" - picture attached.

really??!! I don't want to see that! gross.


message 18: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments I do!!!


message 19: by Shana (new)

Shana (shanac55) It wasn't anything interesting. It was just a small dot. But it's the idea that he thinks we all are so interested in his bodily ...whatevers. He passes them all the time and always needs to announce it.

Wht does it irritate me so much?


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

If
you believe in God repost this! Please don't ignore; you are being
tested. For it saysin the Bible, "Deny me in front of everyone, I
will deny you in frontof my father." 97% WON'T POST. Will you?


message 21: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen Shut up! That wasn't a real post was it?


message 22: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments I wonder how often God checks his facebook? Could you go and repost that when you're on your deathbed and still have it count? Wouldn't it be funny if Hospice started providing that service?


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, Marie. It really was real.

Love yourself first, and everything else falls
into line♥


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that
she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is
seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place
where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her
soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, ...the passion that she
shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles♥


message 36: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen are you sure you're not on some sort of stripper/fantasy chat room thing instead of Facebook?

reminds me of when my doctor told me he knew that if were there on the night Jesus' disciples denied him I would NOT have denied him. he said he could tell by what type of person I was. That's apx when I stopped going to him because I didn't want him to find out how un "perfect" I actually was.

Yeah Sarah... who in the hell are these people?


message 39: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 20, 2010 02:17PM) (new)

Those were all the same person. I went to high school with her. I don't know if you knew her, Kristina, but I'll message you the name.

My favorite thing she ever wrote was:

Laugh as much as you breathe♥


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

There are so many other people's updates that I'd like to share, but they might google me and find this page. The former girl would never click on something about reading, so I'm safe.

He meant it as a compliment, I'd known him for years and we shared SOME beliefs. I think he just extended my beliefs to be a little more similar to his than they actually are. He was a great doctor otherwise.


message 42: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen I'm still pro-facebook as it put me back in touch with the kids I nannied 20 + years ago, a foreign exchange student, my brothers ex-girlfriend (who I loved), and for me it is the easiest way to do invites, etc.

I totally get why people wouldn't want to but I get frustrated when people bash it (not that that's what you're doing) as though it is evil or ONLY ninny comments such as the ones above and I'm an idiot for utilizing it.

Plus, look at all the great conversation it gives us.


message 43: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments This is so upsetting. I actually used to really like this person a lot.

"Thanks again for all the fun bday wishes. I asked Ty where he was taking me to dinner since Kev is out of town and he said McDonalds.. so thats where we spend my 33rd bday. HAHA only a mom could still say it was a great bday.. Just fun to be with the kids and watch them play together. Also, thanks dad and louann for coming with.. Louann you got a nice belated bday dinner at Micky d's as well. What a day!!!"


Reads with Scotch A ninja strike to the aorta is in order.

That sounds like a rap lyric.

She was cool. I swear she was. I used to party with her.


Reads with Scotch Does cool have a shelf life? Apparently. I'm sure in 1986 people thought the 80's were cool. We all know that was bullshit. Just focus on how cool she used to be... think of her as a dementia patient, a dementia patient with a bleeding aorta.


message 47: by Youndyc (new)

Youndyc "I am who I am because of those around me"

Gag.


message 48: by Youndyc (new)

Youndyc Cool definitely has a shelf life. I feel certain that I passed the peak of my coolness sometime back.


message 49: by Erika (new)

Erika | 202 comments I agree, I feel the same way. This chick does not feel the same way, so at least we're cooler than her:

oh snap! Fiber One chocolate and oat bars are the bomb diggity!


message 50: by Malbadeen (new)

Malbadeen that made me laugh. I thought you should know.
